Chapter 11
"So what movie do you want to watch," Austin asks as the popcorn finishes popping.
"Uh, how about the notebook?" I get the popcorn out the microwave and poor it into the bowl.
"I love that movie!"
"Actually?" I look at his face to see if he's lying.
"Yeah, now come on," he says as he grabs the popcorn and chocolate and pulls me up the stairs to his room.
Austin grabs the remote for his Tv and turns on the notebook on netflix. Usually I wouldn't feel comfortable or safe around anyone. Austin isn't just anyone though, he's different. He's not your typical guy and I know he would never hurt me.
It's pretty hot in his room so after debating whether to change or not for almost 5 minutes now, I decide to change. I go to my bag and pull out my black cotton shorts and realize I didn't pack a T-shirt.
"Hey Austin, can I borrow a T-shirt I forgot to bring one," I ask him.
I check my bag once more just to make sure I didn't miss it.
"Adilynne," I turn around to see Austin holding a T-shirt or more specifically, the shirt he was JUST wearing.
"You could've just took one from your dresser," I said looking at him confused.
"Yeah, but I'm warm anyways."
"So am I," I playfully glare at him.
"Hey nobody's stopping you from taking your shirt off," he said with his hands up laughing.
I turn my back from him and change into the plain dark blue T-shirt he gave me.
"How does it look?" I ask as I turn around to face him.
He walks up to me, kisses the top of my head and pulls me into a hug before saying, "gorgeous."
His skin his so smooth and soft. I just imagine sleeping on his chest.
He goes back to his neatly made bed and starts putting the chocolate in the popcorn while I change into my shorts. Austin's shirt just covers my shorts so you can't see them.
I help him unwrap the milk chocolate bars and place them on the popcorn.
When we finish Austin look at me from head to toe, "Um, you should probably put some shorts on or something," he says.
I start laughing and pull up his shirt so it reveals my shorts. Austin face turns a light pink.
*****
Honestly we didn't even watch one minute of the movie, but we did eat all the popcorn. We're laying on his bed with my head on his chest, completely ignoring the rose petals that are everywhere.
"When are your parents coming back?" I ask.
He stops playing with my hair and whispers, " their not. "
Confused I get up and sit beside him.
I slide my fingers in between his causing him to hold my hand. I
"What do you mean?" I ask wondering if I'm prying.
He takes a deep breath before speaking, "ever since last year my parents had this 'business trip' they went on, but every time their supposed to come back they make up some excuse to stay. I guess since they got rich they just didn't want me anymore, I'm not part of their new life. Every month they send me 10 thousand dollars, to buy things I need to live and for things I want. They pay all the bills and stuff so I mean, I guess I'm okay."
I look up at him and watch as tears slide down his cheeks. I've never seen him cry before and honestly it just makes me start to cry.
We cuddle in his bed together and cry. So much for the movie.
*****
I wake up before Austin, and decide to make him breakfast. I walk out of his room and down the stairs to his kitchen. I search his cabinets for a pan and pancake batter.
I find the pan in a cabinet beside the stove and the pancake batter in a cabinet above the stove. I go to fridge and get two eggs along with another pan from the cabinet. I go to pantry and look for cooking spray and find it on the lowest shelf in the back corner. I go to freezer and get bacon.
I've had a lot of practice cooking since father used to make me cook for him a lot. He used to only let me eat 3 times a week sometimes not even that, until he realized he "didn't like me skinny."
It confused me, because I thought he didn't like me at all, then again nobody said he was smart.

"You didn't have to do all this," Austin says as he walks up behind me and rests his hands on my hips.
"Do you not like it?"
"No I do, it's just that I didn't get to wake up with you beside me," he picks me up and sets me on the counter by our plates that I just finished making.
He makes me smile as I mean into him and kiss him on the cheek.
"Aw man, your really going to tease me like that," he says jokingly.
"I mean I could tease you a little more," I tell him then quickly brush my lips against his.
He walks away from me and heads towards the stairs.
"Austin where are you going?" I say hopping off the counter.
"Back to bed hoping that was just a dream," he says pouting a little.
I get in front of him right before he starts to walk up the stairs. I love up a step so we're level eye to eye. I put my hand on the back of his head and lean into him.
I end up looking my balance on the step and fall back into him. He catches me and starts busting out laughing. He placed me back on the step, moving in closer this time.
He places his hands on my waist and I place mine back in place. I look him in his gentle eyes and press my lips against his. We pull away from each other, and this time he kisses me instead.
"Better?" I ask him softly when we finally let each other go.
"Yeah."
We walk back over to the counter where are plates are. He picks me up and puts me on the counter where we sat at last time when we ate nachos. He grabs our plates and places them on the counter too as he gets up himself.
