The Summer Bucket List

Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Ella's POV

Austin and I have been sneaking around in the past few days since my birthday, we just can't stay away from each other and I just can't get enough if him. He is perfect but I don't know why we are jeopardizing our friendship like this. I mean ya we go together perfectly and I know he likes me, but I still can't admit my feelings for him. What if I don't even have any? What if he's just a good kisser and that really gets me going? But he is really hot and definitely knows what he is doing. What is the worst that could happen? We've managed to not get caught yet.

I wake up 9:49 and get dressed. I choose to wear a white ruffled dress that has a big black bow in the middle. My hair is slightly wavy from leaving it in braids the night before, but it looks perfect.

I go into Austin's room and see that he is still sleeping, what a lazy bum. I walk over to his bed and lean down and kiss him. He stirs slightly and then wakes up with a smile on his face.

"I could get used to waking up like that." He says and I giggle.

"Get up and get dressed lazy butt." I say and he rolls over causing his blanket to show his bare torso. It's never had an effect on me before and I've seen him in just his bathing suit many times.

"Are you just going to stare all day?" He asks me and I'm broken from my trance.

"I wasn't staring." I respond and try to hide the blush that is forming on my face.

"I don't mind. And you're really cute when you blush you know." He tells me and I blush even more.

"Just get dressed and meet me downstairs." I say and walk out of his room.

I go down into the kitchen and see moms making something, but I can't tell what yet.

"Hey mom." I say and sit up.

"Hello darling." She stands up.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Just a little baking. You know me I like to keep busy." She responds sounding a little suspicious.

"Ok I'm just going to make myself some breakfast then." I tell her and pour a bowl of cereal.

Austin soon comes in and makes himself some toast and sits next to me.

"So what are you two going to be up to today?" Mom asks Austin and I.

"I think we were planning on going out for lunch then heading up to the mall." I lie.

"That sounds like a lovely idea. Don't come home until four alright?" Mom says and I get really confused.

"We can do that?" Austin says, but it comes out like a question.

"Ok good, now you two have a fun day." Mom shoes us off even though we aren't finished out breakfast.

"I'm going to go grab some stuff from my room meet you at the truck." I tell Austin and run to my room.

I come back down and see that my brother has the same suspicious look that mom did but I don't question it. I go out to the truck and slip into the passenger seat and Austin starts driving.

"Has everyone been acting really strange to you today?" I ask Austin still slightly confused.

"Ya, your dad and my mom. I don't know what's up with them but they don't want us around for some reason." He explains and I agree with his accusation.

"Let's just enjoy the day and the fact that they want us both out of the house." I tell him and lean over and kiss his cheek. "We're going to go get ice cream right?"

"Of course. Then we can go to the mall if you like." He says and we both laugh.

We get to the ice cream place quickly since it isn't that far from our house. We walk inside hand in hand and see Margret working like usual.

"I know you two were going to end up dating!" She exclaims.

She goes to get our ice cream without even asking what we want. If that doesn't show how much we came here I don't know what will. She soon comes back and hands us our ice cream.

"We aren't together." I tell her and realize that mine and Austin's hands are entangled so I pull mine away.

"Sure you aren't. I've known you since you were little you can't lie to me." She says.

Austin pays her and we leave deciding to eat our ice cream in the truck. Austin and I finish our ice cream at about the same time and we just sit there.

"You got a little something on your lips." Austin tells me.

"Oh my god that's so embarrassing!" I exclaim but then his lips come crashing down on mine.

This kiss is a gentle one like most of the others, but it's also needy. I crawl over onto his lap and he pushes his mouth harder against mine.

"You look beautiful in that dress you know." He tells me breaking the kiss for a few seconds before landing his lips on mine.

For a few seconds I deny his tongue access to my mouth but then he bites my lip causing me to gasp. He uses this to slide his tongue between my lips and into my mouth. My tongue brushes against his as my eyes close from the passion that goes on between us. His hands brush up and down my leg as we sit in the front seat of his truck making out. We break apart both panting because of the need for air.

We sits there in silence just looking each other in the eyes.

"You know we still need to pick some things up for tomorrow." Austin tells me as I lean up against the steering wheel.

"We should probably go grab that stuff then." I say and get back into my seat.

***

"Surprise!" Everyone screams as Austin and I walk through the door.

"Oh my god!" I shout. "I honestly didn't expect this."

"You guys are throwing us a surprise party?" Austin asks and his brother nods.

"This must be why you guys were acting all suspicious this morning." I say and we all laugh.

"Your moms though it would be fun to throw you two a surprise party this year so that's what we did." Dad tells us.

Austin puts the stuff that we bought today away and we go join our families for dinner. After we have a wonderful cake that mom spent all day working on. It's chocolate ice cream cake so it's kind of perfect. We then exchange gifts and I get a bunch of books, eleven to be exact, a handful of clothes and $50. Austin gets a bunch of new video games and CDs and $50 also.

This birthday has been perfect, even if it wasn't on my actual birthday. I still had an amazing time and I adore mine and Austin's families for putting effort into something like this for us. It really does mean a lot. I love my family and don't know what I would do without them.

(A/N: Austin and Ella are getting heated! Like Ella just admit you have feelings for him, it would make life a lot easier for everyone. But you two are still cute the way you are. Did you enjoy this chapter? Because the book is almost done :( I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. Until next time.

TTYL!!!!
