Hey! I'm back! Happy Saturday everyone! Well, it's Saturday for me, so. :) But I got exams to study for and I'm just procrastinating right now.
Thanks to all the reviewers so far! I think I might take into account replying to some of your reviews! Thank you to the guest reviewers who review every chapter and let me know what they think! It's awesome how you read every single chapter I post! And thanks to LoveShipper for also reviewing every time! Lookin' For Treble, now that you mention it, I can see where you're coming from with the jacket and Ross. AHAHA. I literally didn't even think about that.
Anyways, this chapter is kind of a filler/ fluffy one. I don't know. Guess you'll have to read and decide for yourselves. :)
By the way, have ya'll seen the pictures at Disney World? The cast (excluding Raini) and TB2 cast was there. I don't know. I felt like I had to say that. :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally or Taylor Swift.
Austin rubbed his eyes as his phone woke him. He quickly made sure Ally was still in the car with him, and then laid her down on a pillow gently before stretching and picking up his phone. It was just a little ways away.
"Hello?" He said curiously. Austin was attacked by a lot of screaming.
"AUSTIN! WHER -"
"Is my car okay?"
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO AL-"
"Hi Austin! It's Carrie!"
"When does production start? I got to call ma momma and remind her about the cow."
He pulled the phone away from his ear and rubbed it gently. He scowled as the fight on the other end decided on a mouth piece.
"Where are you Austin?" Dez's voice echoed across the phone line. He quickly thought about it. No one knew about his little starry paradise but him and Ally. He debated quickly, covering the line with his hand so they couldn't hear him breathe like a dog.
"Uh, just on the way back." He rubbed his eyes again. "Where are you?" He asked just for good measure.
"At the hotel," Dez answered earnestly. Austin saw Ally shift. A piece of hair was flying away from her face every time she took a breath. He chuckled.
"What?" Dez said.
"Nothing," he replied. "Listen, Ally and I are fine. We'll be on time for production." With that, Austin clicked the phone off, making sure to turn it off too. Austin sighed a ran a hand through his hair, curling his fingers into his locks.
He noticed that Ally was staring at him with her big brown eyes.
"Morning," she sighed. Ally sat up and stretched, revealing her wrinkled dress and marks on her face due to the creases in the pillow. He laughed at her morning state and scooted over to her side.
"Morning," he said. He opened the trunk from the inside. The sudden gush of cold air and morning sunshine hit their bunk immediately. Ally shivered.
"Cold?" Austin had hopped out of the van and was stretching, pulling his arms over his head. Ally nodded her head, finding her jean jacket in the mess of blankets and wrapping it around her tiny form.
Austin stealthily hoisted Ally out of the back of the trunk as she was finding where her other arm on her jacket went. She laughed as he lifted her and put her over his shoulder.
"Austin! Put me down!" She slapped his back feebly, still trying to fix her inside-out jacket. She was about to give up her attempts when he plopped her down on the passenger seat towards the right of the driver's.
He crouched down, only a little under eye level with her as she looked at him.
"We gotta get back," he told her. "Dez was on our trail this morning," Austin said. Ally nodded. She put a hand through his messy bed-head.
"The sooner the better. We've really gotta fix this hair of yours," she said. Austin pouted, giving her knee a squeeze as he stood up.
"Not that I mind," she yelled after him.
...
Ally cranked the volume up as Austin hummed along to the song. She was about to play the 'Just sing' card again when she noticed they were passing IHOP.
"Pancakes?" She asked him. Ally noticed that he wasn't even listening to her. He was staring out the window, as the car had stopped courtesy of a red light.
"What?" He snapped his attention back to her. Ally glanced past him. With a roll of her eyes, she noticed that he was already thinking about pancakes.
Pfft.
"We could get pancakes for breakfast," she told him. He rubbed his chin just as the light turned green. Austin huffed and turned his left signal on.
"And that's exactly what we're doing."
...
Ally watched as Austin delicately poured the syrup across his large chocolate chip pancake stack.
"You know, for a guy with your looks, you're not too shabby," she said nonchalantly. She stabbed her plain pancake with just a bit of butter and placed a small piece in her mouth, chewing it thoughtfully.
"What do you mean 'not too shabby?'" He asked incredulously, finally giving her his attention. She snickered.
"Nevermind," she sighed, trying to make him nervous. It didn't work however. He just shrugged and returned to his tower of pancakes. Ally sighed.
Austin returned to his pancakes, delicately cutting up the pancakes into pieces of different shapes. Ally watched out of the corner of her eye as he popped a piece in his mouth, the syrup oozing out of his mouth slowly.
It was supposed to be sloppy, but honestly. It was fuckin' adorable.
"So." Austin said after a while. Ally glanced at him. She had returned her attention back to her journal and was busy writing in her book on her lap, hoping that no one noticed.
"What are we?" Austin asked suddenly. Ally glanced up at him again. His face was flushed and his morning hair had just made an encore. She had to hide a smile, trying to keep her face straight.
"What are we?" She echoed. She thought about it. What are we? They couldn't just be friends after yesterday, could they?
Nope.
But if they weren't friends, then that would mean they were... Oh god.
"If you're okay with it, I-I mean us," Austin started shyly. Ally just squeaked and laughed at his awkward adorableness.
"If you're okay with it," she echoed. Austin nodded vigorously. Ally laughed. Austin smiled at her sweetly before returning to devour his plate of pancakes, taking a huge bite out of the small doughy piece.
He chewed on it happily and she heard a content sigh coming from him.
Ally laughed and glanced back down into her lap. She flipped to a page that was blank. Ally tapped her pencil on the paper before writing in the date surely.
Austin Moon is my boyfriend.
She smiled to herself a drew a huge heart around his name. She glanced up to look at Austin. Ally gasped.
He wasn't there anymore.
Suddenly, she felt the pencil being ripped out of her hand.
Instinctively, she yanked back, but the pencil was already gone. She turned and glared at whoever had just rudely disrupted her, before she felt the book in her lap shift. Ally whipped around trying to find the intruder.
Suddenly, Austin slipped back into the booth, a dying blush on his cheek. Ally frowned, still looking.
"Where'd you go?" She asked, still looking around for whoever just interrupted her. He smiled at her and finished off the rest of his pancakes.
"Don't even worry about it," he said. Ally nodded as he took his phone out and turned his attention to the small device. She returned her gaze to her book as she gasped.
And Ally Dawson is my girlfriend.
It even had a heart around it!
Ally smiled at Austin who was looking at her to find out her reaction to his little stunt. He smiled lovingly back at her. She felt a blush rise to her cheeks as her phone rang right then.
She quickly answered with a 'hello,' and listened.
"Hey, Ally," Trish's voice rang. "Where are you guys? We've been waiting for you guys to show!" Ally frowned. That wasn't right. Production wasn't until three. Ally told her that and Trish replied.
"Yeah, but apparently Dez couldn't tolerate your 'amateur antics' any longer. He wants you two back her before ten." With that, Trish said a quick bye and left Ally on the line.
"What's up?" Austin asked her once Ally had shuffled her phone away.
"Dez wants us back before ten," she repeated what Trish told her. Simultaneously, they both glanced at the clock over the counter.
9:37am.
"I think we'll have enough time if we get going now," Ally said. Austin nodded. He cleaned up their table neatly, stacking the plates and cups as the waiters do when they collect them.
"Let's go."
...
Ally had been writing in her book as Austin drove. She really appreciated that he didn't question why she was always writing. She sat back and admired her handy work within the short time they had been on the road.
Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"
Across the room your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me.
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy.
Ally thought that that was the best bout of lyrics she could muster right now. Now that she and Austin had passed the barrier between friends, she could think of him more openly and fondly. She smiled and closed her book. She stole a glance at her blonde driver.
He was driving coolly with one hand on the steering wheel, and the other just by the gearshift. Ally took a chance and laced her fingers through his, surprising him a little.
Austin didn't say anything. He just smiled and kept his eyes on the road. Ally did the same.
They reached the hotel within fifteen minutes, meaning they were there just as the long hand reached the ten. Austin quickly helped Ally out of the car and grabbed all the pillows and blankets, lugging them up the stairs. He grunted a 'hello' to Penelope as Ally asked her how her morning was.
"It was fine sweetie," the woman chuckled. "Anyways," she suddenly leaned in closer. "I heard you went on a date with Hottie McTottie over there." Penelope flicked her head over to where Austin was having trouble pulling a blanket up the stairs. He kept tripping over it every time he walked a step.
Ally blushed and fanned her face. "Whaaatttttt. Where'd you hear that?" She tried to calm her rapid heart as she thought about the night before.
Penelope chuckled. "Trish told me." She sighed and returned to her former position, sitting on the four-wheeled chair. "That girl's got a big mouth!" Penelope snapped.
Ally laughed. She nodded the bookkeeper goodbye and went to help Austin. She approached him as he fell face first this time. He groaned as his jaw snapped backwards on impact.
"Oh, sweetie," she sighed. "Let me help you." She peeled his face off of the ground as he rubbed his chin gently. She rolled the blanket up so it wasn't messily flopping over the stairs. Ally ordered him to pick up the pillows, as she made her way up the stairs.
Austin was about to get his key to unlock Dez's apartment when the door flew wide open, revealing a very, very angry Dez.
"Hey buddy," he said not-so-convincingly-happy, trying to hide is irritation. Dez patted Austin's shoulder and left Ally to fend for herself as she scrambled after them, the door almost closing on her.
Dez plopped Austin on a chair in the middle of the room, ordering Ally to follow. She handed the rolled blanket to Trish who took it without question. Suddenly, the lights went off, and only a single lamp that stood between them shone out.
"So," Dez said, bringing the lamp closer to Austin's face, and then hers. She gulped. "Where were you two this morning - scratch that. Yesterday night?" He asked.
Austin gulped, his adam's apple bobbing.
Ally had secretly snuck her book out when the light was facing Austin, making it completely impossible to see what she was doing.
Ally moved her wrist on a new page.
Things are going down.
So yeah! Filler chapter to get into some bigger things! Oh and yay! Austin and Ally are finally together! Whoopie! Thanks for reading! I'm glad you guys are enjoying this!
