The Summer Bucket List

Chapter 30

Chapter 30 -E

Ella's POV

What the hell am I doing?

I wake up with Austin's arms around me and remember everything that went on yesterday. Austin went so out of his way to give me that amazing day, and I already know that he likes me, but I'm leading him on.

I move out of his grip carefully so that I don't wake him up and hop out of the truck. I go to the front and throw on a pair of white high waist shorts and a light green crop top. I grab my phone and some money and decide to head into town.

I go to a little coffee shop and order myself some breakfast. Halfway through breakfast I get a text from Austin asking where I am. I grab him a bagel and a cookie and head back to the truck.

When I get back I see that Austin is still laying in the back in his pjs playing on his phone.

"I got you some food." I tell him as I throw the bag at him and sit as far away as possible.

"What's wrong?" He asks me.

"Oh nothing, just a bit tired. We were out pretty late last night." I say the first lie that comes to mind.

"Ok well we have one more list item to do today." He replies sitting up.

"But we have to go home today. We don't have very much time to do anything."

"This thing will only take 30 minutes tops."

"Ok I'm trusting you. Now go get dressed so we can go."

He then gets up to go get changed and I lie down and sigh in relief. What would be the worst that could happen if we were to date? Well if we were to break up that'd be awkward as hell for everyone; but what if we didn't break up? Then we could both be happy and our families would be happy.

"Uhgg!"

"You alright Ella?" He asks carrying our bags.

"Yep, just wonderful."

"Ok, well we can go now."

"Then let's get going." I say with a smile.

~~~

We're driving for a while before we stop and turn into a little plaza.

"What are we doing here?" I question not understanding what could possibly be interesting.

"We are crossing an item off of our list. Now come on." He says and we hop out of the truck.

I follow him and soon we are walking into a pet store.

"Oh my god! Are we getting a pet?" I ask him excitedly.

"Yep I picked out a cute little dog that I think you'll love."

"But I just want them all!" I say as Austin walks up to the front counter. He talks to the lady for a few minutes while I play with all the different animals. Soon he is gone and so is the lady.

"Ella, meet Buttercup." Austin says startling me. I look behind me and see him holding the cutest, fluffiest, tiny dog ever. "Oh my god it's so cute!"

"It's a she, and she was abandoned on the side of the road. She is a teacup Pomeranian and as far as we know she has had all of her shots." The lady tells me.

"Ohh she's just so precious. I just want to hold her and pet her forever."

"Be careful Ella, she doesn't fully trust people and is very skittish." Austin says handing me the little dog.

"She is so perfect!" I squeal. I hold Buttercup closer to me and she licks my hand.

"I think she likes you." The lady says.

Austin fills out papers and gets a bunch of stuff for the dog while I play with her a little. Soon we are back on the road and driving towards home. The whole way home Buttercup sits on my lap and eventually curls up into a ball and falls asleep.

The drive seems to take forever but soon we are home and greeted by our families. They all swoon at the little dog and we are allowed to keep her, not that I doubted we weren't going to be.

Soon it's late and we all sat our goodnight and head off to bed. I set up Buttercup's bed and then I drift off to sleep quickly.

(A/N: They got a dog! And a super fluffy one at that. If you don't know what a teacup Pomeranian looks like I highly suggest you look it up online or look at the picture on the side. They are just precious! Happy one year anniversary of the book! Yes, the first chapter was poster one year ago today on April 24, 2014. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter, even though it wasn't one of the best. But until next time.

TTYL!!!!
