Dear Austin ~Cashby~

Chapter 13

A/N: Double update just for ILoveCamoflage and Cahshby...you're freaking welcome lol

I sighed happily and content as I walked along the sand, feeling the tiny gains under my bare feet as I stolled along, watching my wedding ring glisten in the sun light. One week me and Austin had been married and it still felt like a dream, a part of me was just waiting to wake up in my bed to discover it was only just a dream. Ever since I'd met Austin, it had felt like a dream, but I knew in my heart it was real, the love we shared, it was too real to deny. The joy and happiness he made me feel, the butterflies that errupted in my stomach everytime I looked at him, every time we touched, every time we kissed. The cheek bone aching smile I always had plastered on my face when I was with him, talking to him, reading a letter to him. The way my heart skipped a beat, pounded against my chest, the way he made my heart feel like it was going to burst when he spoke, or sang or whispered sweet nothings to me as I was falling asleep. The security and love I felt in his arms when he held me, it was all too real.

We got back to Florida this morning from our honeymoon in California, it wasn't fancy, and it wasn't expensive or posh, but it was perfect. He took me around the different towns, showing me the sites, he took me to his special spot near his home, a tree house which he had built with his mom when he was twelve. He also took me to meet his mom, I'd wished I could have met her for real, but I still found it so sweet how he took me to a spot so personal to him so I could meet her and thank her for making and raising such an amazing man like Austin. My heart melted as I sat and watched him talk to her, the way his eyes lit up and he became so animated, but yet there will still such a hint of longing and sadness in his eyes and behind his actions. He loved his mom and I could tell how much he missed her, that was as clear as a bright sunny Californian day. The rest of the honeymoon was just spent with Austin's father, or just relaxing in our romantic hotel room and doing what two husbands are supposed to do on their honeymoon.

And now, we had one final week in Florida before he had to return to base, the thought made me sad, because who knew when I'd be able to get to see, and hold my husband again, but I was just thankful that we got to enjoy the summer, oue honeymoon and our first couple of weeks together as a married couple. There was nothing more I could've asked-

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I was quickly brought down to earth as out of nowhere, my clothes became drenched, dripping with water and my skin felt like someone had thrown me into an ice bath. "Oh Jesus CHRIST that's so cold...Oh fuck!"

I turned around, shivering as I saw Austin standing behind me, hunched over, holding his stomach in a fit of laugher. I didn't even know where he came from, I thought he was hanging out with Shayley for the day, and I was just here minding my own buisness. He clearly had other plans...and those plans where to chuck a bucket of ice water over me. "I-I'm S-sorry, t-that was s-so f-fu-funny."

"Austin Robert Carlile-Ashby I'm going to freaking kill you!" I threatened, narrowing my eyes at him.

"Oh...my...god...you look...like a...drenched...ginger...rat..." Austin burst out laughing even harder, causing him to fall on the floor and little snorts to come from him as he laughed. I tried my best to stand their looking mad at him, but he looked so cute, rolling around in the sand, tears of laughter pouring from his eyes and snorting like a wee little piglet.

"That was not funny! I'm really freaking cold now!"

"But...you...oh...my...I can't...even...you where...so oblivious...I am...oh my god!"

"That's it!" I growled, running towards him, he quickly stopped laughing, pulling himself up and started running away from me. "COME HERE MR. CARLILE-ASHBY, I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR BACKSIDE SO YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN FOR A WEEK!"

"NEVER!" He cried back, "You can't catch me I'm the ginger bread mannnnnn!"

"You little shit!" I ran as fast as I could and managed to leap up onto his back and tackle him to the ground, and proceeded to tickle his shirtless body.
