hi ;)

i wake up to the sound of knocking.

seconds later i realize someone is knocking on my door so i sit up from my bed, rubbing my eyes as i say "come in."

the door opens and the strong scent of coffee fills my nostrils, and i look up and meet eyes with austin.

all the sudden flashbacks appear in my mind from last night and i smirk to myself.

because i don't regret it, i don't regret a damn thing.

should i? probably.

but i don't.

austin walks in with two cups of coffee in his hands and i smile.

he stand in front of my bed and i pat the spot next to my legs for him to sit.

he nods and sits down, before handing me my mug.

"thank you." i nod and he smiles.

i take a sip and i close my eyes at the feeling of the hot liquid running down my throat.

when i open my eyes austin is staring at me and i quirk my brow.

"so do you wanna talk about last night or?-" he asks and i cut him off by nodding, he nods in reply and we sit there for a few seconds, unsure of what to say.

i break the silence and i laugh which causes his eyes to snap up at me in confusion.

"we're crazy." i breath out a laugh and he flashes a toothy grin.

"i don't regret it." he says and i bite my lip glancing at my coffee briefly.

"me neither." i say and we sit there, staring into each others eyes.

emotion, i can't tell, swarms in his but the only thing i can currently feel is warmth.

"what does that make us?" i ask and he looks away, sighing deeply.

"we probably shouldn't date if we want to do what's best for our careers." he says and even though i nod in response, my heart drops and i look to the side, placing my mug on the side table.

"but." he continues and i look up, gulping.

but what?

"but i want you." he finishes and i stare at him in partial shock, because i did kind of know based on what happened last night, but it's crazy hearing him say it out loud.

"i've wanted you since we started getting to know each other, and god you make it so hard everyday to not tell you. but i want you althea, every part of you." he says and my mouth parts at his confession.

i leap forwards so i'm sort of in his lap and i place my hands on his cheek, pulling him in for a kiss.

we kiss for a few seconds before he pulls away laughing, "jesus you didn't even give me enough time to set my coffee down." he laughs and i look down at the mug in his hands.

thank god it didn't spill everywhere.

he reaches forward, setting the mug next to mine before his hands find my hips and he moves my body so i'm sitting in his lap.

he looks down at me and smiles, "i want you." i whisper out and he smiles wider.

"i want to be able to hold you when we sleep." he says kissing my forehead, then he moves to my cheek. "i want to kiss your tears away." he whispers.

"i want to make you laugh." he continues and kisses my nose which makes me let out a small giggle.

he looks to the side, "and i want to kiss you while we do not so nice things." he whispers and i shudder, but he interrupts me by placing a gentle kiss on my lips.

i pull my arms up and around his neck, bringing him closer as i adjust my position in his lap so i'm more comfortable.

which causes him to freeze for a second and grunt something out, only now realizing i probably accidentally touched something.

"sorry." i whisper into the kiss and i can feel him smile, his hands traveling up and down my body.

i pull away just as our tongues were about to meet, and i rest my forehead against his.

slightly out of breath i look passionately into his eyes.

"i wanna be yours." i whisper and his grin never falters.

"so be mine."

i playfully roll my eyes, "okay fine whatever." i say and he grips my waist tighter, making me look straight into his eyes.

"i want you to be my girlfriend." he says and my smile falls in the best way possible, and i get caught off guard at the word.

girlfriend.

but my smile soon reappears "i want you to be my boyfriend." i reply and he nods, placing a quick kiss on my lips.

he tightens his hold on me and begins to stand up, and i giggle when he starts walking, "what are you doing?" i ask but instead he ignores me.

he places kisses all the way down from my ear to my collarbone and he bites the skin a little.

he looks up from my neck and smiles, "we have to get ready to pick up your family." he says and i suddenly remember they're coming today.

i gently smack his shoulder, signaling for him to let me down, but he never does.

"so let me get ready." i say and he smirks.

"we have to take a shower." i gasp at his words and i immediately start squirming in his touch.

"are you trying to fuck for the first time in a shower?" i let out and he looks appalled at my words.

"no no no that's not what i mean-" i cut him off by laughing.

"i'm joking holy shit you got scared." i say and in response he starts tickling my side.

"f-fuck you austin!" i yell out in between loud laughs and he starts chuckling along with me.

i start moving so much that he falls over onto the bed which makes me laugh harder.

"st-stop tickling m-me you asshole!" i scream and he still continues to tickle me.

"not until you say sorry." he says and i sigh.

"i'm sorry austin." i continue.

"i don't believe yo-" i knew he was going to say that shit.

so i do what's best and i cut him off with a kiss.

almost immediately his hands stop tickling me and he begins to kiss me back.

i pull away and he smiles, "okay i believe you." he says and i giggle.

i fall back on the bed and i lay back, while he sits next to me, watching me carefully.

i look up to him and he has seriousness etched on his face.

"so your my girlfriend for real?" he asks and i want to laugh at how much he sounds like a little boy.

"yeah austin, i am." i say with a firm nod and he smiles a big, goofy, smile.

he lays down next to me and sighs.

"how are we going to tell everyone?"
