I woke up with someone's arms wrapped tight around me and my head was on someone's bare chest.

Austin.

"Good morning." he chuckled

"Morning Austin." I smiled against his skin

"How are you feeling?"

"Better."

"That's good." he chuckled

"Thanks for carrying me." I murmured

"No problem."

I groggily sat up, yawning.

"Still tired are we?" Austin laughed

"Just a tad." I grinned

I crawled out of his bed and slipped on a pair of his sweats.

"Want breakfast?" I asked him

"Uh, yeah." he nodded

<><><><>

"An omlet? I'm a lucky man." Austin grinned

"And they're good too." I smirked

"I'll be the judge of that." he winked

"You're gonna have to give me a ten." I flirted

"Depends." he shrugged

"On what?"

"The show."

"The show?" I quirked an eyebrow

"Yup."

"Care to elaborate?"

"I want a dance show with my omlet." he chuckled

"Good luck with that, Mahone."

"I tried." he shrugged

I just shook my head and laughed. He was so adorable.

"Hey Alex?" he asked

He sounded really nervous.

"Yeah?" I turned around so I was facing him

"Um.. do you want to uh be my girlfriend or..?" he rubbed his neck and cast his eyes down on the ground

I paused. Did he just ask that? Why would he ask that?!

"I can't. I'm just emotionally ready for a relationship." I whispered

He nodded, "I understand."

Then an awkward silence fell over the entire kitchen.

Did I really just reject Austin?

I turned back to making the omlet. This was so awkward oh my goodness.

I honestly don't think i've ever been in a more awkward situation.

"I'm sorry, Alexa." Austin said suddenly

"It's not your fault. I'm not ready. I do like you, Austin. I just can't be in a relationship." I sighed

He nodded, "I understand."

I felt bad. I really did but.. I couldn't. Everyone I loved was just ripped from me. I can't love again so soon..

I finished making his omlet in silence. I poured myself and him some orange juice then I say down at the table.

"Hey." Austin grabbed my hand

I looked up.

"Don't feel bad. I understand. Honestly, I do and I wouldn't want to love again soon if I were in your shoes." he smiled
