ALLY POV
"Do you mean like a... a date?", I ask. What a dumb question, of course he does. "Uhmm... Yeah.. No... Only if you want it to be a date", he says nervously. "I...", I start but Austin interrupts me "Look , Ally, I know you're concerned, I know we tried this before, I know you're afraid. But so am I. When we tried it a while ago... Maybe it just wasn't the right time, but I feel like we could do it this time. I mean, last time things were awkward and weird between us, but hey we had sex and just wrote an awesome song. It's not like last time, it's different and you know it. If you still don't want this, I respect it, but I gotta be honest with you know... I don't think things will ever be the same between us after last night and I don't know, if I could be just friends with you and watch you date other guys. It would... it would break me.", he says almost tears filling his eyes at the last sentence. I'm surprised by his rant, but it's true. Things could never be the same and if we don't try this now, we maybe will never get our chance again.
I take a deep breath and say "Yes, let's go out tonight." and smile at him. He opens his eyes wildly with a big grin on his face. "Really?", he asks. "Yes", I grin back at him. He's so happy at my answer, it's almost ridiculous. "O-Okay, then uhmm... I'll go home, get ready and I'll pick you up at like 7? Can you be ready in like an hour or do you need more time? We cou-", "No, one hour is perfectly fine", I interrupt him. He's so excited, it's really cute. "Okay then see you later!", he jumps out of his seat and blows a kiss at me before going out of the practice room. I catch it and wave back at him. When he's gone, I realize that I got so much to do. Hair, make up, choose the right outfit, painting my nails, … I need to start now.
I open my closet and I just can't find the right outfit. I tried on a hundreds outfit, before I find the right one. A blue dress, tight but not too tight, brown high heels and some bracelets and a cute necklace. I curl my hair and put on some make up. Just when I'm finished the door bell rings. Austin. I rush to the front door, "Ready?", he asks. He's wearing black skinny jeans, a red plaid shirt and red sneakers. "Yes. You look handsome", I compliment him. "Oh, well, you should look at you! You look so beautiful!", he says gesturing his hands up and down my body. "Thanks!, I blush tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear. "I got my moms car, so we could drive to the restaurant", he says opening the door for me. I get in and ask "So where are we going?". "It's a surprise", he winks before getting in the car himself.
We drive for what seems like hours, before Austin pulls into a parking lot. "Is this the -" "Yeah, it is the new fancy restaurant everyone's talking about", he smirks. "But how did you..." "How I got a table for 2 so quick? Ally, please, I'm Austin Moon.", he laughs. Wow, I never thought he would take me here and once again Austin surprised me. He is serious with this dating thing...
The food was really delicious and fancy. Nothing I've ever eaten comes close to this."Wow, Austin, I seriously can't believe you took me here. It's amazing!", I say through all the talks of the many people that are here. "Well, for you I would do anything", he smiles, "You told me that you wanted to eat here, so here we are". "You're so sweet, Austin.", I smile back and I can see in his eyes how happy he is. "So what movie do you wanna watch later?", he asks, "Probably some girly romantic movie.", he sighs. I laugh "You know me so well."
After he pays for the food and tips our waiter, we go to the movie theater. He buys the tickets, while I get something to eat and drink. The evening has been wonderful until now. "Got the food?", he asks curiously. "Yes, I did. How can you even think about food after all we got back at the restaurant?!", I cackle. "Uh hello? It's food! I love food!", he says as if it's obvious to eat that much. "You're crazy!"
During the movie Austin puts his arm around me and I snuggle up to him. We don't really watch the movie, but enjoy our time together, so close and no one can interrupt us. He starts playing with my hair and I smile against his shoulder, looking up to him every now and then instead of watching the movie. I know we made the right decision to give us a chance again. "What?", he chuckles quietly when he notices that I'm staring at him. "What? Nothing!", I whisper. He smiles and softly kisses me on the lips. I kiss him back but stop it before he can deepen it. "Not here, Austin", I say against his lips softly. "You're right!, he says before he pecks my lips and turns his attention back to the movie.
After the movie he drives me back home. "This was a marvelous date", he says when we reach my front door. "Yeah, it was really lovely", I smile, "We should do this again sometime.". "Definitely!W had so much fun!", he reaches down to kiss me, but before he can my dad opens the door. "Oh hey there, Ally. Austin", he gives him a nod, but looks at him angrily. "Uhm bye, see you tomorrow then", I fake a smile. Damn, dad, I really longed for his kiss, the taste of his lips. "Yeah, bye, Ally", he smiles back nervously, waving goodbye before turning his back to us and driving away. "Can't wait to see you tomorrow.", I whisper inaudibly.
