Hearts Connected

Chapter 2

Ana looked back at Austin saying. "Are you ready to head to my room?" Austin turned around looking at her. "Yeah sure.." Austin turned around walking over to the much shorter girl with chestnut hair that went to the middle of her back. Austin looked at her pale skin seeing it wasn't tainted like his with ink. He looked down down at his hands which had been almost covered in ink while he looked at her arms and hands that were much daintier then his own. He had a bit of muscles just enough to make him seem fit but not overboard.Ana walked to her dorm room before asking. "Can you get in the front pocket of my backpack and get me my keys?" Austin didn't say anything but unzipped the front pocket finding a few pads, a mini bottle of perfume, a couple travel packs of a few things like a pack that consists of a travel sized bottle of toothpaste, mouthwash, a thing of floss and a small toothbrush, a pack that had a foldable brush, some detangling spray and ponytail holders. He soon located the lanyard with her keys and ID on it. He handed it to her before saying. "A lot of stuff in there." He joked a bit. Ana looked up at him very confused. "Huh?" Austin shook his head. "Nothing." Ana handed the carseat off to Austin who took it, setting it on the ground next to him as his hands were full. Ana bent down a bit to unlock her dorm room's door, once the door was open she picked up the car seat walking into her room lit with pink fairy lights. Her room was rather neat and tidy, to her everything had its own place. She set the car seat on her desk about to say something but the wail of the child startled her. Austin grabbed the bottle from the bag before letting the strap slide down his arm onto the bed before walking over to the car seat taking the robotic baby into his arms before placing the nipple against the child's lips it made a suckling sound. Ana looked at Austin for a few seconds before grabbing her duffle bag. She packed her clothes, shower supplies, her laptop and chargers. She spoke up. "I'm going to pull my car around. If you want you can give me the address and I'll drive you to your bike then I'll drive to your apartment." Austin looked at her over his shoulder while he bounced Primrose. "Sure, If your cool with that." Ana nodded a bit. "Yeah, I don't mind, I figured if I'm understanding you correctly it's a motorcycle and I know me personally wouldn't trust anyone on this campus to not try and steal it." Austin nodded a bit. "Yeah." When the suckling sound stopped Austin put the baby into a burping position before patting it on the back lightly but enough to free up a burp from Primrose.She walked out of her dorm before walking the small distance between the dorm and her parking spot. While she walked she was muttering to herself about the male that was currently in her dorm room taking care of the stupid robot baby that got her into this mess. She of course didn't mind having to do the project but not with Austin. She was rather upset with how things panned out.her car was a 2020 Kia Rio in black. She unlocked the trunk, putting her duffle bag in the back and thought about what "thrills" she would experience this month. She wasn't too sure but she was feeling strange about spending the month with Austin. She couldn't pinpoint what feeling she was experiencing, she wasn't even sure if she liked it. She wasn't as open minded as Austin but she couldn't lie Austin sparked plenty of feelings in her but she never experienced this particular feeling. It was strange. She got in the driver seat turning the car over before buckling up. Putting the car in reverse she backed out of her spot before driving to the front of the building seeing Austin there with the car seat and diaper bag. He stood up once she did a small honk.he walked over as she got out of the car to help aid him in putting the car seat into the back of the car. Austin shockingly was able to figure it out, Ana was curious about how he knew how to hook everything up.Austin handed her a piece of paper. "Here, I'll walk to my bike. It's not that far." Ana nodded a bit. "Sure I'll meet you there" Austin nodded a bit before walking back the way they came previously Ana got back into her van grabbing her phone plugging in the address before setting it in her cup holder. She buckled up before putting it in drive. About half way through the drive she started talking to herself. "I mean maybe I misjudged him? He couldn't be that bad if he knew how to take care of a child." She paused for a few seconds. "How does he know how to do those things?" After a long conversation with herself she made it to the apartment complex she pulled into the parking garage. As she took the things from the backseat she heard the reeving of a motorcycle's engine which caused her to look over to which she saw Austin sitting on a harley davidson softail he had rested his helmet on the gas tank, his arms were crossed over his helmet.he had a cocky smirk. "You know from this angle you don't look that bad." She was slightly bent over her right knee on the step. Shooting him a glare she said. "Go park your bike and help me." he rolled his eyes putting his helmet on the hook behind him then drove a bit ahead to park. Austin jogged over grabbing the diaper bag putting it across his body.while Ana held the car seat. She moved out of Austin's way so he could shut the door. Austin shut the door before leading her to his apartment. When they got up there, which was the second floor, Austin dug in his jacket pocket grabbing his keys out before putting his apartment's key in the keyhole. He opened the door saying while extending his arm out to gesture for her to go in. "Ta da." HIs house was a bit messy, nothing that Ana couldn,t handle. The moment she stepped in Primrose went off crying her eyes out. Austin looked at her. "I think she needs to change." Ana nodded. "Where would you like me to change her?" Austi set the bag down so he could walk into a room. Ana got into the bag taking out the diapers when she saw Austin walking out with a mat. She raised a brow. "A changing mat?" Austin nodded. "My nephew's." Ana then realized maybe he had experience with babies. "How old?" Austin laid the mat out. "2 months." Ana nodded, sitting down in a kneeling position so she could change Prim. she asked. "Could you maybe hand me the bag with the clothes?" Austin sat down next to the bag taking the paper and bag with the clothes out. He passed her the clothing bag while looking over the paper. Ana changed Primrose, she was looking through the clothes when Austin said. "We have to have a clean household and make dinners then at least daily outfit change for Primrose." Austin looked at Ana with an apprehensive look. "I'm not the best at cooking." Ana giggled. "Then what do you eat normally?" Austin let out a nervous chuckle. "Take out." Ana looked at him in astonishment, she slowly set the outfit she was about to put Prim in, "Like you never cooked in your life?" Austin looked at her confused with a mask of anxiety. "I've cooked before but not without messing up or burning it." Ana nodded slowly looking down at Primrose. "Well..." Not too sure what to say she stayed silent. "Do you know how to cook?" Austin asked nervously. Ana nodded a bit. "I learned when I was younger." Austin nodded. "Could you-" Austin shook his head a bit. "Its stupid." Ana tilted her head slightly. "What's stupid?" Austin stood up setting the paper down on the couch before walking off to some room. Ana knew he wanted to be left alone as she heard the door shut. Seeing the time she called out. "I'll make dinner. But we might have to go shopping." Austin stayed silent which caused her to slip the kitty onesie on Primrose followed by the cute pink leggings then purple socks. She stood up cradling Primrose in her arms before gently laying the baby back in her carseat. Ana walked over to the door, slipping her shoes off before walking into the open lay out kitchen. After peeking around she concluded that they in fact needed to go shopping for groceries. She sighed, placing her hands on her hips looking around, trying to figure out what they would have for dinner. She found pots and pans in the cupboards but nothing to cook. Just milk and instant meals in the fridge and freezer. Wondering to herself. 'Did anyone ever teach him how to cook?" she shook the thought out of her head when she heard a door open. "We need to go shopping." Austin nodded, taking a deep breath. "What for?" Ana giggled a bit. "All you have are frozen meals, milk and cereal. I don't think that's really appropriate for dinner." Using her index finger to tap against her chin she thought for a second before speaking. "Biscuit and gravy?" Austin nodded a bit. "My favorite." She offered him a smile. "Well how about I teach you how to make it?" Austin perked up walking up the two steps to get to the kitchen "Really?" Ana nodded a bit. "Of course. You do want to learn how to cook right?" Austin nodded his head softly. "Yeah, I've wanted to but Katie's been too busy to teach me." Ana hummed slightly. "Katie, Your girlfriend?" It was Asustin's turn to chuckle. "No, My sister." Ana blushed a bit out of embarrassment. "Sorry." Austin shook his head a bit. "No need, really it's ok." He offered her a soft chuckle and a gentle smile. Something made Ana feel soft and fuzzy inside but she couldn't pinpoint what caused it. She nodded a bit before saying. "Wanna head out now, by the time we get back it will be around-" Ana pulled out her phone, pressing the power button to which her screen lit up. She glanced at the time seeing it would be five o'clock by the time they got back, about an hour trip to stock up, running them in. "fiveish or closer to sixish." Austin nodded slightly. "I guess we should go then?" Ana nodded a bit before walking over to the shoe pile with Austin. Using her right hand she braced herself on Austin's left arm so she could slip her tennis shoes. Austin got very still while she used him to stabilize herself.. After she slipped on her shoes she stepped away to grab Primrose and her diaper bag. Austin slipped on his boots before typing them. He looked at her. "You ready?" Ana nodded softly. She grabbed her phone and keys. "You want to drive?" she offered him the keys to which Austin nodded. He gladly took the keys before jogging over to the Kia, Ana held the car seat as he had taken the diaper bag, he helped get everything settled before getting in the driver seat while Ana got in the passenger seat. She buckled up looking at Austin seeing he didn't even attempt to buckle. "Buckle up please." Austin looked at her like he was confused before making a soft sound before saying. "Don't need to buckle normally."
