My ex is my soulmate

Chapter fourteen - Best friends or lovers

Austin's POV:

I think that Ally and I need to stop getting close. I did this only to see her reaction. It was visible that she was feeling uncomfortable, which meant that the time to confess her feelings hadn't come yet. Maybe one day this will happen. We are working on our project almost every day, and this is enough. I won't lie that I like to work with Ally. I wasn't going to complain if it was another girl, but the fact that I know her helps a lot. Her drawings are very good, and I think that we can make a great story. Up to now, we have made almost half of it. I don't know how long our story will be. We bought a sketchbook, but I don't think that we can use all the pages. Well, we'll see. Maybe other ideas can come to our minds. It's not a lie that I have wondered how Toby and Macy are doing their project. Ally and I haven't seen them for a while. Except in class. The thing is that we were busy, they as well. We need to go out more often. The holidays are after less than two weeks, and they will probably go home. The same as Ally and I. We can take a break, and all of us go out.

I woke up and saw that Ally was sleeping. I won't wake her now. We have classes in the afternoon, so I will go and buy breakfast. I carefully dressed and went into the bathroom. When I was done, I walked out. I went to the nearest diner for food. There weren't many people. Probably because it's only 8:30 am. I need to buy something which won't get cold when I go back to our dorm. After some time, I decided to buy sandwiches and hot chocolate. Later, I went to a store to buy marshmallows. I mean who doesn't like them in their hot chocolate. Ok, maybe someone doesn't.

I walked back to our dorm and saw that Ally was still sleeping. I took one of the cups with hot chocolate and put it close to her nose. This must wake her up. Soon she started sniffing, which made it so hard for me not to laugh. Ally opened her eyes and looked at me. I smiled at her, but she didn't return it. Her eyes were on the cup which I was holding. I knew that this would wake her up.

- Good morning. Did you sleep well?

- What is that?

- This is hot chocolate. If you want some, you have to get up.

- From where did you get it?

- I went to buy us breakfast.

- Thank you. Give the cup now. - she said and got up

- Before you start drinking it, I will give you something. I bought marshmallows if you want to put some in your cup.

- I would love to. Thanks.

- This is our breakfast. I hope that you will like it.

- Since you chose it, I bet that it's delicious.

- If you say so.

Both of us were eating in silence. I noticed that Ally was still in sleepy mode. I got up and went to sit next to her. Luckily, she didn't complain. I said that we shouldn't be this close, but I like it. We are getting closer to what we were before. The thing is that it feels weird. I don't know why. In the beginning, when I asked her out, it wasn't that bad. She said yes, and everything was good. Now, I will feel awkward doing it. Maybe it's because we are separated or because some things have changed.

- What do you want us to do today? - Ally asked me

- I was thinking that maybe we could go out with our friends. We haven't been together for a while.

- That's true. All of us were so busy that we didn't find time to go out or do anything together.

- To understand that you like my idea.

- Yes, I do.

After breakfast, both with Ally walked to our friend's dorm. Luckily, both of them were there. I saw that they are working on their project as well. We waited for them to finish with their work and later, we walked out. All of us went to sit under a tree in the backyard. I forgot how good it was to sit with your friends. It's like I haven't seen them in ages.
