**Delilah**

"Blake?", Cole asks rasing his eyebrow. I mentally smack myself for saying 'Blake'.

"Whose Blake?", he asks again amused.

"Blake, uhmm...I said flake", I lie cursing under my breathe.

"Hmmm a flake", Cole nobs grinning mischeviouly.

"Yeah...a flake chocolate", I say the words flying out of my mouth.

"Hmmm yeah", his voice trailing as his eyes scans my face.

"I could buy you one of you want", he offers looking at the snack bar.

"No", I say sharply as Cole raises his eyebrows. "I mean...Austin's buying me one", I lie again...urgh I hate lying, especially to my best friends.

Austin soon comes to join us as Coles mood changes.

Incase I haven't told you yet. Austin was my first boyfriend when I attended NYC music university, that's where I met the people I now call my bestfriends, Cole and Danielle. Things were going great until I found out Austin was cheating on me blah blah blah...

But then he apologised and I could see it in his eyes he really meant it, so I took him back. I mean, don't get me wrong I was devastated, but part of me missed him.

So that's why Cole and Danielle (A.K. A) my bestfriends totally hate him.

"Austin", Coles greets nodding his head sternly as Austin snakes his arm around me.

"Cole", Austin nods.

I can feel the tension radiating off of them, the air getting hotter as they just stare at each other.

"So are you here alone?", I ask Cole and his eyes softens as they land on me, after his stare-off with Austin.

"No I'm actually here with someone", he states looking through the crowd with a grin.

A wide smile spreads across my face as I spot Jenny. Cole and a crush on Jenny, when he first met her at the cafè we work at.

"So you finally asked her", I point out and he blushes.

"Took all my courage", he says banging his fist against his chest causing me to laugh, and Austin's grip around me tightens.

"We better get going or we going to miss our movie babe", Austin says looking at his watch.

"Enjoy your date with Jenny", I tease wiggling my eyebrows and Cole lets out a chuckle.

"I will", he states shooting me a wink.

"Yeah enjoy your Blake, I mean flake Dee", Cole shouts and Austin raises his eyebrow, taking our seats.

"What's a Blake flake?", he asks handing me my popcorn.

"Its a chocolate", I reply trying to hide my smile. I can't help to feel disappointed that it wasn't Blake to call my name. But I'm also glad because it would of been one wierd conversation with Austin on my side.

Almost on que, everything darkens as the movie starts. Austin findes my hand in the dark giving it a gentle sqeeze, placing a soft kiss to it causing me to smile at his gesture.

~~~~~~

"That was absolutely wonderful", I say wiping away a tear that escaped my eye.

"Even when you cry, you still manage to look beautiful", Austin says placing a kiss to my forward causing my stomach to do a flip.

"Lets go get ice-cream", he suggests taking his hand in mine.

"Chocolate fudge", I reply quickly with a bright smile.

"Anything you want babe", he winks causing me to smile wider that my cheeks actually began to hurt.

Soon after we reached his Rangerover, Austin opens my door and jogs to the drivers side.

We sit in peaceful silence as I look outside the window, watching the city lights as we drive.

Suddenly I feel Austin's larger hand in mine as I turn to him with a small smile on my face. He looked deep in thought before he spoke, breaking the silence.

"I'm glad Cole got a girlfriend", he states, his gaze fixed on the road.

"Yeah me too, he had a crush on her for a really long time now", I say with a smile remembering the times he used to hide behind me whenever she was around.

"She's not the only one he had a crush on", he mumbles under his breathe.

"What do you mean?", I ask out of confusion, I frown as he lets go of my hand placing it in the steering wheel instead.

"He likes you, you know", he says keeping his eyes on the road.

"What are you talking about, I already have you remember?", I can't help but to show a smile finding his jealousy amusing, wiping it away before he could see it.

"I don't think he get's the message", he shoots back gripping the steering wheel tighter.

"Babe, relax I'm with you and only", I assure him and I watch his tense muscles relax.

"I don't want to loose you, again", his voice sounding much softer now.

My heart sinks as the word 'again', comes out of his mouth. I knew immediately he was refering to the time he first cheated on me.

"You won't, unless you don't give me a reason to", my mouth says quickly before my brain functions what I had just said.

A small smile appears on his face and he places his hand on mine, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"I'm afraid I'll loose someone as special as you"

My heart literally felt a fuzzy warm feeling at his words, turning my cheeks into a Scarlett shade.

"I love you", Austin says taking me by surprise as he squeezes my hand gently.

He raises his eyebrows at my silence before opening his mouth to speak, but I cut him off.

"I love you too", I say as a wide smile takes over his features showing off his dimples.

The rest of the drive was filled with silence as a million questions ran through my head.

Do I really love him when still have doubts, about his loyalty towards this relationship?
