The Summer Bucket List

Chaper 33

Chapter 33 -A+E

Austin's POV

"We need this shade of purple and this shade of green." Ella tells the man behind the counter.

"Ok I'll whip those up for you in a jiffy." The man says as he adds different colours into the originally white paint.

Me painting mine and Ella's room was my punishment for what happened with Mark. I don't even know how we settled on it, but we did and the next day we are at the store getting the paint. I just think Ella didn't want to paint the rooms because of the effort she'd have to put into it, so instead I'm going to do it and she's going to sit there and look pretty.

The man is quickly finished mixing the two colours if paint and Ella is excited to get going. It's not like she's going to be doing much. I'm the one who has to actually paint the rooms.

We go to the front and I pay for the two containers of paint and Ella and I carry one each back to the truck. 

We get home and see that our parents and brothers have already moved out furniture for us and laid down the plastic on the floor. They were even nice enough to put the green painters tape around the edges where we don't want it to be painted.

Ella and I go change into some ratty old clothes so we don't get our nice ones ruined and go start on her room. Well I start in her room she just sits there and watches.

"Are you having fun?" She asks when I'm halfway through the second wall. 

"Ya, loads. You know manual labor is one of my favorite things ever." I reply and she laughs. "You know you could be a nice person and help me." I tell her.

"I'm going to go grab something to drink you want anything?" She asks completely ignoring what I just said.

"Some food would be nice." I tell her and she walks downstairs.

Ella comes back with a sandwich for me and a glass of iced tea for her. I takes a while but at 3:37 I finally finish her room and we move into my room. 

Ella and I banter back and forth like we usually do while I continue to paint my room a dark green. I finally start on the last wall and see that it hasn't taken as long as Ella's room.

"Austin?" Ella asks and I turn around to see her splat a glob if purple paint on my head.

"Ella!" I yell and flick my brush in her direction causing her to have a green streak on her clothes.

"Austin!" She yells back at me and splat me with some ore paint.

Ella and I continue to have a paint war causing my green walls to have splashes of purple and my wall that hasn't been done yet has splats of green and purple all over it. I then walk up to Ella with a paintbrush full of paint and she backs up against the wall causing the paint to flatten and smug. I put one hand beside her head to steady me and cause my hand print to appear on my wall. I take the brush and drip all of the paint onto her head and she screams. I look her in the eyes and want to kiss her so badly, so I do.

"What is going on in here?" My mom yells as she takes in the scene and I quickly stop kissing Ella.

"Ella and Austin!" Cheryl scolds us standing beside my mom. "Ella if your father were here you'd be in so much trouble, so you're lucky."

"You two clean yourselves up. You are done with painting today." Mom says and I back away from Ella. 

Our moms leave the room and I tell Ella I'll clean up the mess so she goes to have a shower. I'm actually happy with what happened to my room. There are hand prints and splatters everywhere, which will always remind me of the good time Ella and I had while I painted my room. 

I quickly finish tidying up in my room and once Ella is finished in the shower I hop in and let the paint rinse off of me and down the drain. Today was perfect and no one can tell me otherwise.

(A/N: I think it's been a few chapters since the last one from Austin's POV. Him and Ella seem to have so much fun together though and I think it's kind of cute. I hope you enjoyed this paint splattering chapter and until next time.

TTYL!!!!
