OUR FORGOTTEN LOVE

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

"So....." I said, the awkwardness was not helping me, I looked at Austin who had his eyes glued to the road, but I could tell he was trying to surpress a smile.

"Yeah, erm, th-thanks for-'' boy, this was harder than I thought.

"Ha ha , Skylar, are you trying to thank me ?" he laughed.

I blushed, "What no, why would I....fine maybe ."

He looked at me and rolled his eyes, "You're welcome princess."

I don't know what came over me but I smiled, not because he didn't force me to say thanks but because he called me princess.

That nickname never changed, he called me that instead of addressing me by my name for as long as I could remember.

Kate insisted it was because he liked me otherwise he would have called me something nastier like slut or hoe, but I would always remind her that he called me bitch too. Kim just laughed and said,"One day, if not now Bitch will be a compliment, even a hashtag , just you wait ."

I have no idea what came over me when I asked but whatever, "Hey Austin?"

He gave a swift nod and returned to looking at the road.

Here goes nothing my bitches........hey it can be used as a compliment!

"Whydoyoucallmeprincess?"I spoke in one go.

The car stopped suddenly and he looked at me, "Could you repeat the question, I don't understand word vomit."

I rolled my eyes, always the jerk, "Forget it ." I looked out the window expecting him to continue driving but the car never moved.

"I am not moving this car until you say what you were going to," he replied.

"Forget it." I said enunciating each word.

"No,I won't," he replied in the same tone.

"Do you like mocking me?" I asked, my annoyance clearly visible.

"Stop changing the topic princess,"he said, furrowing is eyebrows.

I inwardly swooned at how adorable his frustrating expression was and blushed when I realised I actually thought he looked cute.

I gathered all my courage and looked at him with a serious expression, "That, right there that word,Princess, Why do you call me that."

He looked at me with the same expression and then looked at me when the he realised what I asked.

He let out a bitter laugh and said , ''Why? Why do I call you that?"

I now wore the same face he previously had, "Why?"

He looked at me with cold eyes "You were right, just forget it."

I have no idea why I seemed angered by his respons, heck that wasn't even a dcent one, he dodged the bullet completely.I clenched my fists,"Stop the car."

He didn't hear or pretended not tO hear and continued.

"Stop the car, now Austin! " I all but yelled.

He hit the brake, "What the hell?"

I took off my seatbelt and exited the car , I was pisssed, he could have answered and not be so bi-polar, one minute he was laughing next he was being so closed off.

"Skylar get back in the car."

I didn't bother to turn around, "You said forget it right? Well no problem but don't even try to talk to me without answering my question.

I heard the footsteps behind me and walked faster but Mr. Douchebag having such long legs reached me in no time.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me into him making me look into his green eyes, "You really wanna know?"

I nodded too lost to speak due to our close, close proximity.

He sighed, "If you want me to answer that question you are going to find your ass in my car."

I nodded again but the realisation dawned on me and my jaw dropped as he made his way back to the car.

"You could have asked nicer!" I said.

He turned around and said "So could you when you asked to get out of the car but that didn't happen now did it, Princess."

I chuckled and made my way back to the car.

For once the jerk was right, now to get my answers, if only I knew what secrets awaited me.

He glanced at me, "We might have to take a slight detour."

I looked at him, "Why can't you just tell me now?"

"You wanted an answer,I am going to give you one but it is not something I can just tell you, unless you changed your mind."

I shook my head, "It's cool." I f he was willing to tell me why instead of fighting and avoiding me a small trip did not get me to change my mind, it just made me more curious.

"Princess, wake up." A small voice whispered.

"Mhmm , five more minutes and I promise,I will." I said.

"Oh please, if anyone loves sleep it's you and if someone did you've made a new best friend." He murmured.

I got annoyed with whoever was talking and I decided to slap them like I slap my alarm when it won't shut up.

Instead of the alarm clock stopping it chuckled,"Danm, you like my abs eh?"

My eyes widened and I looked around ,Austin , why is he here? Why would I like his abs? I looked down and blushed. My hands were on them.

He looked at me and smirked, "Please feel free to continue touching.You can grope if you want."

I' m sure I was red as a tomato, wait nope, red as a chilli pepper, I removed my hand quickly and cleared my throat, "Are we there yet?"

He was looking outside with admiration, "Yeah, see for yourself."

I looked at where he was pointing and gasped, this place , it seemed so familiar but, I've never been here, have I ?

"Come on!" he gave me a cute grin and practically dashed out the car.

Why did he take me here?
