It's Ok, He Already in my DM's [BXB]

Austin's POV
When I get back home I say "bye, Eric" smiling and he kisses me saying "bye" smiling against my lips. He says "I'll text you when I get home, ok?" I say "ok" smiling and I go into my house, him walking back to his car. I say "damn, look at it move" and Eric laughs saying "oh shush" and gets in the car and drives away. I smile and I go inside. My mom says "what the hell is wrong with you?" I say "what?" She says "you were gone all night" and I say "yeah, I went on a date and kind of crossed state lines and one thing led to another. Yeah."

Mom says "well, who is it? Are they cute? Did you have a good time? Where'd you go?" I say "his names Eric. Yes, he's so fine. Probably shouldn't be saying that to my mother. Yes I had a good time and he's from Maine and we went to drive in movie." Mom says "wow, I wish I went to those when I was a kid. What did you watch?" I say "Ten Things I Hate About You." She says "omg, did you use protection?" I say "mom, it wasn't needed. He took me out for Starbucks this morning then he drove me back here." Mom says "he came and picked you up too?"

I say "yeah, he's a nice guy, mom." She says "that's good, I won't tell your father unless you want me to. I used to sneak out all the time, your father was too much of a prude to do it without a guilty conscious" winking at me. I chuckle and I say "I'm going to the studio this afternoon with Vince this afternoon. Then we'll probably get food after." Mom says "do you need any money?" I say "no, I'll be ok" going up to my room. I get ready to go to the studio and I grab some money then I text Vince saying:

Me: hey, I'm leaving in a second.
Vince: you're early, I just ate breakfast. Take your time.
Me: alright lol

I go downstairs and I say "mom can I borrow your car?" She says "I'm sorry about your car. Heard Johns taking care of it for you?" I say "yeah, he is." She says "yeah, take it" tossing me her keys and she says "you gotta start telling me things ya know." I say "I know." She says "I'll let you go, but I want to hear about your car when you get home." I say "ok" and I go to pick up Vince. He says "hey." I say "hey" and I drive to the studio.

Vince says "you ready?" I say "yeah, do we really need to stretch?" He says "yes! What kind of crazy are you?" I say "good question" and he starts our music just for us to stretch for awhile. Then we get moving to finish off memorizing this dance we choreographed. We go for a couple hours then Vince says "I'm starving. I think we did good."

I giggle saying "me too. Let's get it" leaving and he says "Panera Bread?" I say "I love you" us laughing and we leave, going out to eat. I say "are we ready for the talent show?" Vince says "yeah, we have some cleaning up to do though. Three weeks time though, we'll be ready" nodding and I say "I hope so" yawning.

Three weeks later

I say "why am I so nervous?" Vince says "if you aren't nervous before a performance you shouldn't be on a stage." I say "but this is in front of the school in front of everyone." Today is the talent show and we're back stage getting ready. Vince and I sit on the cold floor and stretch. A girl backstage says "you're out of dress code, guys." I say "if I can get Cardi B approved, I can get crop tops approved."

The gym just sounds like chaos and Vince and I stop talking, getting in our zones. We both are just jumping around and I mumble "do we want to run it again?" He rests his forehead on my shoulder saying "no, we ran it twice earlier. We're good." We're both just getting our shakes out, focusing in, then I hear our names announced. We do our handshake that we do before every performance then we jog up onto the stage. The DJ backstage says "ready?" I quietly say "let's get it" jumping around in my spot.

I heard several yells when we were announced, that boosted my confidence more than it needed. The curtains open then our music starts and I stop bouncing around, getting ready to go. Words come out of the speakers and we just start moving. This dance is all muscle memory, so now we just get to have fun. We worked in some freestyles, one each, and I hear a "yes, get it!" From the audience.

I smile in the direction of the voice and when we finish, we're at the front of the stage. We pause, just standing there and everyone cheers. I smile saying "we forgot to do a finisher." I hear Jacklyn yell "those are my babies!" Vince and I giggle and the host, who does sports commentary casually at school, comes out on stage. He says "I've been asking everyone that comes up on stage this question. Who would you like to thank?" Vince says "all you, sir." I say "I'm really thinking whether I want to thank you or not now."

We chuckle then I say "I'd like to thank Vincent, Jacklyn, Eric, the school for letting me use a Cardi B song and being dressed like this, and Cardi B herself.  I gotta thank my mom too." Vince and I laugh and he says "I'm gonna thank my mom first. I want to thank Jacklyn and Austin and the school for letting us come up here and perform how this was meant to be performed." We laugh just high on adrenaline and I say "you did good" and we walk off. He says "so did you. Am I allowed to meet Eric now?" I say "yes, let's go."
