Chapter 16:
A week later my tattoo and piercings have healed completely, and I absolutely love them. Austin's look cool too.
We both are sitting in his room legs crisscrossing on his couch and are playing online scrabble.
When I first entered his room today, I was in shock. It was more than double the size of my dorm room and it was gorgeous. It was black-themed which Austin had chosen himself and it was perfectly my type.
"Your turn cub," Austin says.
I don't bother with the nickname anymore.
Suddenly my phone rings and I look at the caller Id; Zack.
Before I can pick it up, Austin snatches it from my hand and holds it up high. "Give it back Austin," I whine.
"Whose Zack?" he asks.
"He's a friend," I reply.
"Just a friend?" he asks.
Before I can say anything, Austin answers the call.
"Hello," I hear Zack say.
"Ya, what?" Austin asks rudely and I frown at him.
"Can I speak to Heather?" he asks.
"No thank you," Austin replies.
"Who are you?" Zack asks him.
"I'm her boyfriend." he says, "Now get lost before I murder you, and stop disturbing our scrabble game,"
I launch myself at Austin and punch his arm. Then I snatch my phone from him and glare at him.
"Hi Zack," I say, the phone is on speakerphone and Austin is listening.
"Hey Heather, how are you,"
"I'm good, I didn't know you had a boyfriend," he says.
I turn red, "I don't. That was Austin, he's my friend."
"Just a friend?" he asks.
"No you creep I'm her best friend," he smirks.
I kick Austin to shut his mouth.
"Anyways," he says ignoring Austin, "Do you want to go on a date this Saturday?" Austin shakes his head and I frown at him.
"Sure, I would love to," I tell him and cut the call.
"Why did you agree to go on a date with him?" he asks me accusingly.
"Why what's wrong?" I ask.
"He seems like an ass hole, and you can't just trust every guy you meet around here," he says.
"You haven't even met him, besides I trusted you," I reason.
"Just trust me and don't go," he said.
"I have to I already said yes, and I can always call you up if something goes wrong. Besides it's not even a proper date, we'll just go out for dinner, nothing romantic."
"You're such an idiot," he says, "There's nothing like a platonic date besides I don't want you to date a complete douche bag,"
"Stop it Austin," I tell him and walk out of the room.
I wake up early on Saturday morning and go to Austin's room. He's already awake and sitting on his table, typing something.
"I need your help," I say and dump my bags on his table.
I sit down and listen as he helps me with my homework, and I complete the whole thing in time.
