Sup awesome people! I'm home now which means I'm writing on my laptop again. I don't know how much of the story is left but I'm going to guess not a lot. There's probably three, maybe four chapters left in this story so I thought I'd give you a little heads up. Thank you once again for leaving me so many amazing and wonderful reviews! You guys are so sweet and actually got me passed the 300 review mark which is a brand new record for me! I love you guys more than words can express :)

"OH MY GOD!" Megan screamed at me, jumping up and down vigorously.
"HE SAID THE L WORD?!" Bea squealed next, joining her in the excited jumping.
No need to wonder if people are staring at us right now because they totally are. I tried to hush them but they weren't even listening to my pleas. To say that they were excited would be an understatement.
"Yeah." I replied with a happy sigh, nodding and biting my lip as I watched them react.
This caused them to erupt in even more screams and squeals and every other sound you could possibly think of came out of them. People were seriously starting to give us death glares. Maybe the dining hall was not a good place to tell them about yesterday. I winced and covered my ears to try and quiet the chaos in front of me.
"Guys if you keep screaming I'll never be able to hear him tell me it again." I chuckled at them.
"Sorry Ally but we're just so excited right now!" Bea exclaimed as we walked.
"Really because I couldn't tell." I teased.
We found a table and all sat down to eat our dinner. Thank goodness Austin wasn't in here yet or it'd be beyond embarrassing.
"So what happened after that?" Megan asked me.
I found myself smiling as the memories came rushing back to my head.
"Well…." I started, still smiling.
"Austin, stop it!" I laughed.
"Stop what?" he asked innocently.
I wasn't going to bother telling him when he already knew what he was doing to me. So I just continued to laugh, completely out of breath. After the sun rose we decided to come back to my cabin for a little bit before breakfast. So that leads to how we got to here, in this exact situation. You see, Austin was practically crushing my entire body with his own as he was squeezing me into a bone breaking hug while we laid underneath the covers of my own bed. Our close proximities made me nervous and he sensed that, I know he did. And it only fueled his reason to stay right in place, which happened to be pressed right against me as if we were two items in a sandwich, even more. I found myself biting my lip a lot because all the teasing was starting to make my head swirl.
"Austinnnn." I whined, dragging the 'n' as I said it.
He laughed, which only caused my famous glare to be shot his way. But I couldn't be mad for more than two seconds because his laugh was like music to my ears and that song makes me the happiest person on earth.
"You are terrible." I giggled, followed by the biting of my own lip, (I wasn't kidding about the lip biting!).
"But I love you." he said sweetly, snuggled his head into the crook of my neck.
I let out a small breath and then gulped nervously. I love how out of all the things he could have said, that was his argument against mine. And God, his breath on my neck did weird and unexplainable things to me. Whenever he says the 'L' word I get really caught off guard. But can you blame me? The first time he said it was not too long ago so the processing is still occurring in my brain. And it's not just love in a friendship kind of way either, its love in a relationship way. That's what makes it hard to process because we've been friends forever but boyfriend and girlfriend for a day. But to be honest there isn't much of a difference between the two. The only difference is that we can kiss and touch and hold each other and say we love the other person whenever we please. And I like that difference, I like that difference a lot.
He was waiting for me to say something but for some reason I had to watch my own chest heave up and down as I told my respiratory system 'in and out'. The room quickly grew to a familiar silence. I chewed my lip nervously, trying to find the ability in me to speak.
"I know. I love you too." I whispered to him.
You see, I don't think I'll ever get over the idea of us being able to tell each other the most powerful declaration in the world. And it's so easy, so effortless, just letting the words slip right out of my mouth like I've been saying it for years. But every time he says it I get all giddy, and every time I say it he blushes or smiles like an idiot. Since he's first said it he just won't stop, telling it to me any chance he can get. It's quite possibly the cutest thing ever.
He brought his head up and away from my neck and I'd be lying if the loss of contact didn't make me sad. But his lips found their way to mine instantly, thus replacing the loss of touch with a new one. His lips were gentle against mine, caressing them in his own; a feeling I'll never get used to. I pressed back, deepening the kiss. This is my chance, I thought.
He was still lying on top of me, basically embedding me into the mattress as our lips never dared to separate. I felt a sudden rush of confidence take over. My hands slowly moved to his chest as we continued to kiss. At first I just played with his shirt just so he wouldn't suspect anything. I felt him ease up, not quite as heavy on me as before. So I used all my strength to push against his chest, causing him to roll off me and I quickly found myself on top of him.
This caused him to go wide eye and stiffen beneath me. I laughed at his reaction but didn't break the kiss as I did so. I'm sure my body weight did nothing to crush him like his had done to mine but I didn't care. I pulled my lips away, and there was no mistaking the pout on his lips. I just ignored his childish ways and nuzzled my head into his neck. His hands found their way to my torso, wrapping around me and pulling me closer into his chest.
"Austin?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah?" he hummed close to my ear.
"Did you know that you're always warm?" I asked in all seriousness.
Even as I asked I could feel the heat radiating from his neck and chest and arms. I closed my eyes, enjoying this exact moment with just him.
"Well did you know that you're always cold?" he chuckled in response.
He rested his head on top of mine as I laughed in response and kissed his warm cheek. I tangled my rather cold feet to prove his point but mostly because I like being able to feel him so close on every part of him
"You know mister you're in big trouble for practically crushing me, right?"
I rolled off of him and sat up, giving him a knowing look. He sat up too, leaning against the head board and pillows.
"Can't I just shower you with kisses and call it a day?" he asked hopefully with a smirk.
"No." I quickly argued, shaking my head at him.
As nice as that sounds I can't let him think I'm so weak!
"Awe c'mon Ally!" he pouted.
I moved closer, leaning forward so my face was just inches away from his. His breath grew heavy and his eyes became a much darker brown than usual.
"I think you're just looking for an excuse to kiss me." I smirked.
"Maybe I am." he smiled and winked at me.
I watched him lean closer, trying to kiss me but I put my hand over his lips before he could place them on mine.
"I wasn't joking around, you're really in trouble." I laughed at him.
He seemed really surprised but tried not to show it.
"Seriously?" he laughed nervously with one eyebrow raised.
"Yeah!" I nodded for an added emphasis.
"And your punishment is no kissing." I said seriously.
"What?! For how long?!" he asked with wide eyes.
"I don't know. But in the mean time I will allow you to cuddle me." I smiled hopefully.
I found my way back to his side and playfully nudged him with my shoulder.
"Fine, I'll take what I can get." He sighed, giving in and protectively wrapping his arms around me as I rested my head on his chest.
*end of flashback*
"ALLY!" Bea yelled, waving her hand back and forth in front of my face.
I quickly jolted my head back up to them.
"Yeah?" I asked with a happy smile.
"You know what, on second thought, please don't tell us because I'm sure it's just you two being all couple like and gross and stuff." Megan cringed at the thought of it and I couldn't help but blush as she said it.
I felt a crimson blush creep its way up my cheeks.
"Sorry." I said slightly embarrassed.
Bea just laughed and Megan continued to pretend to be disgusted by the thought of Austin and me kissing.
"And speak of the devil." Megan stated with a slight roll of her eyes.
I gave her a puzzled look and she just pointed behind me. I turned my head to find Austin and the boys walking in through the entrance door. They hadn't spotted us yet but I felt a small smile work its way up my face as soon as I laid eyes on him. His punishment was still going but right now but it shouldn't really matter because I'm not one for the PDA stuff unlike Cassidy. He knows that too and respects it because he's Austin and the definition of his name includes the adjective gentlemen. I just think a kiss is more enjoyable when it's only him and I. And even though he sometimes disagrees and thinks that he should be able to show me off whenever he wants, he understands. I'm sure he's going to try something later though if not now.
I turned back to face them with a slightly nervous expression. I bit my lip, trying to hide it as I played with the food on my plate.
"Ally, why are you acting so strange?" Bea questioned with weird eyes.
I flashed a nervous smile at them.
"Well I kind of have this punishment going on between Austin and I where he can't kiss me and I don't know what he's got planned." I told them quickly.
"Um, why?" Bea asked next.
"Because he thought that a kiss from him makes everything better! And you know it's not a lie, but he doesn't need a bigger ego than he already has." I defended.
"Probably not your best idea." Megan laughed.
"I know," I groaned.
"So what are you going to do?" Bea asked me.
"Probably let him kiss me." I sighed.
"Ew." Megan stated quickly with a disgusted look on her face.
"Not in front of you guys!" I said, quick to explain myself.
"Isn't that a little weak though. I thought the point was for him not to kiss you." Bea added.
"I know but I think I've tortured him enough. I'm not going to lie, he makes me weak." I replied with a nod of my head.
As if right on cue, Austin and the boys arrived at the table. He took a seat right beside me and flashed his cute smile while Ethan and Josh took their seats. I smiled back but I made sure to hide my nerves.
"What's going on?" Austin casually asked once everyone had gotten comfortable.
"Oh you know, just talking about you!" Megan joked even though that was cold hard the truth.
"So just the usual I see." He smirked.
Us girls couldn't help but roll our eyes even if it was true.
"Well if it helps Austin wouldn't shut up about Ally either." Ethan said.
We all found ourselves bursting into laughter, myself especially.
"Dude!" Austin groaned.
We all laughed at him for a good few minutes as Austin just sat there with red cheeks. It was cute though. When no one was looking I slipped my hand under the table and laced my fingers with his. He looked surprised at first but a small smile soon followed. I made sure to rub small circles in his hand until the topic changed and it was just him and I to talk amongst ourselves.
"He's just kidding." Austin quickly defended.
"Sure doesn't seem like it." I teased.
"Ok maybe it's a little true." He sighed in defeat.
"It's cute." I laughed.
Suddenly he was really close to my ear and his hot breath on my skin made my stomach do somersaults.
"After dinner you're not going out of my sight because I believe a kiss is well over do." He whispered against my ear.
I swallowed nervously, my breath suddenly very shallow. He's never really been possessive or controlling like that and it's really a miracle no one was paying attention to us right now. To say I was speechless would be an understatement. And the fact that his lips were still against my ear wasn't helping me not look weak. But who am I kidding I'm totally weak for Austin. I bit my lip as I struggled to find words to say.
"O-ok." I stuttered out.
Ok I'm so sorry I took so long to post this. I feel terrible because honestly I've just been procrastinating and I'm sorry it's so short too. My first day of school is tomorrow so I've been really busy with getting things sorted out since it's my first day of high school! And not to mention I leave to Atlanta for the R5 concert in four more days. So I'm really sorry and I'm really going to try and upload one or two more chapters tonight because I haven't updated in like five days. Don't forget to leave a review and tell me your favorite part! I love you guys so much! :)
