Mad Love: An Austin Rivers Love Story

Chapter 22

Mad News

Yesterday was a very crazy day. It didn't start out that way. It only ended up that way when Jayce's stalking ass showed up at my hotel room. He claims it's a big coincidence but I know he's stalking me. I just can't seem to figure out why.

Austin and I had already planned to go to Universal Studios today. We both felt, since I had already met his siblings and his close friends, that they should come with us.

We wanted to spend the whole day at Universal so we decided to get their by 7AM.

All together it was Jeremiah, Callie, Spencer, Adam and three more of Austin's friends that I haven't formally been introduced to yet.

"Are you ready to ride the biggest, tallest ride here?" Austin asked as we were in line to get our tickets.

I hesitated a little bit because I am scared of heights but I knew that as long as I was with him everything would be good.

"Of course I'm ready."

Austin gave me a suspicious look with a smirk on his face.

"You know when I was talking about the biggest, tallest ride here, I wasn't talking about me. But don't worry you can ride that later if you want to?"

I playfully punched him in the chest and we both busted out laughing. "You are fucking disgusting!" I said while laughing.

As the day was going by we got nearly every ride and we decided to take a break for lunch. I was with Callie. Somehow the guys ended up getting together, leaving Callie and I to have some girl time...I guess.

I was ordering my food when Callie came up behind me with a halfway serious look on her face.

"So now that we're alone, I need to have a talk with you."

I was nervous as hell. She was going to give me the speech almost every female family member gives to their male family member's girlfriend.

I never used to have to worry about that because when you're dating women, the rules kind of change.

We both got our food and sat down at the table. Then we stared at each other for at least thirty seconds...

AUSTIN'S P.O.V.

The guys and I were laughing and joking around like crazy. I missed this. Of course I get to joke around with my teammates and have fun with them but ninety percent of the time, it's work and you have to be serious when it comes to that.

"So bro! Seriously where'd you meet Destiny?" Jeremiah asked.

"Yeah bro! And does she have a sister?" my boy Darnell asked.

We all started to laugh. Between Spencer and Darnell we definitely have some clowns in our group.

"A cousin maybe?" Spencer asked with an Italian accent.

We laugh again. These guys were not going to let up. I knew it was a matter of time before they started asking about Dez. So I finally started to answer.

"Man I met her at this juice parlor that I always go to. I thought she was beautiful. We talked. Hanged out a couple of times. Went on a couple of dates and the rest is history."

After I explained how I met Dez, the guys all had serious looks on their faces. Then they all started to congratulate me and applaud me.

This was surprising. "What know jokes about my girl? No mocking? No teasing?" I asked.

"Man Austin...any other time we would clown the hell out of you but Dez is off limits...." Darnell said.

Spencer chimed in..."Yeah bro...It's obvious you really love her."

"So we know y'all not just fucking around." Jeremiah added.

Wow. I know I love Dez but I never thought it was so obvious for others to see....

DEZ'S P.O.V.

"So what do you want to talk about?" I asked Callie.

"I just wanted to make sure you're with my brother for the right reasons and not the wrong reasons..." she said.

Callie was worried that I was with Austin for the money. I could see why she would think that. Austin's ex Diamond was a gold-digging bitch from hell!

"Look Callie, I'm not sure I even know how to convince you of my true intentions on dating Austin. I-"

"You don't need to convince me of anything!" she interrupted.

We both got silent and it looked like Callie was really upset. I thought we would get along at first. Guess I was wrong.

Callie then smiled and place her hand over mine.

"You don't need to convince me because I know you're honest and you're not like Diamond's bitch ass!"

We both laughed. Callie really had me worried there.

"Oh wow I'm glad you can trust me because I feel like I can trust you." I said.

"Destiny! Of course you can trust me. As far as I'm concerned, you're my sister. I can already see you and Austin getting married."

I smiled lightly.

"Can you see us having kids?" I asked.

"Of course, of course! I can already see the little Austin juniors running around getting buckets." she said while laughing.

My face got serious. "Good."

"Good what?" she asked as her laughter died down.

"It's good that you can see us having kids...because I'm pregnant."
