Austin's P.O.V
Amber has been acting really weird for the past month and I don't know what is wrong. Everytime I ask her about it she just tells me it's nothing and then keeps acting the same. Warped Tour is coming up in about a week and I still haven't told Amber. I just don't know how to. I don't want to leave her but I have to. I have fans to perform for and I can't just cancel. As I was thinking about it I thought of a brilliant idea; I could just ask her to come with me. I'm sure she'd say yes. At least I think she would. I figured I would tell her later today, or maybe tomorrow. But I would rather do it today so I can get it out of the way. I thought I'd text her and ask her to come over later since it's about 11 in the morning right now and I'm still tired. Ever since she has been acting like this I haven't been sleeping that well cause I get worried about her. But hopefully she would say yes to my question so I would get to see her everyday and have a really great time with her. I know she loves Warped Tour so maybe her knowing that that's where we're going will make her say yes. All this thinking made me really tired so I drifted off into a deep sleep.
Amber's P.O.V
Austin still hasn't told me about his upcoming tour. I'm pretty upset that he would keep something like this from me for so long but I hope he'd tell me soon. I had to go to work today even though I didn't really feel like it. I know today is going to be long so hopefully it goes by fast. I only had 2 clients today but they were going to take long because they were larger pieces. I got dressed quickly, grabbed my coffee and ran out the door to my car. The tattoo shop I work at isn't too far from my house and thank god for that because most mornings I wake up late. The day seemed to go by fast at the beginning and then very slow at about the last hour of my shift. I was finishing up the last of my second client's tattoo when I heard my phone buzz on the counter. I wanted to check it but I couldn't until I got done. It took about 30 minutes for me to finish up and when I did I immediately checked my phone.
Austin: Hey, can you come over later?
Me: Yeah, what time?
Austin: 6?
Me: Sounds good. See you then.
I cleaned up my work space swiftly and practically sprinted out the door. I jumped into my car and headed home. Once I was there I walked to the door and walked inside. I went to the bathroom to put on some light makeup because I hadn't bothered to this morning when I went to work. I then went to my closet to put on something a little more comfortable since I had wore skinny jeans and a tight fit shirt today. I decided on some light denim shorts and a loose fitting navy blue tank top. And for shoes I wore some white sandals. It was almost 6 and if I didn't leave soon then I would be pretty late since Austin lives about 35 minutes away from me. I grabbed my phone off of the coffee table in the living room and walked out the door.
I arrived at Austin's house about 10 or 15 minutes late. I got out of my car and walked to the door and then rang the doorbell. He must've been standing by the door or something because he answered it quickly. "Hey." he said with a small smile. "Come in." I walked inside and walked to the living room to sit down, Austin following behind me. "So what did you do today?" Austin asked me. "Not much, just did 2 tattoos and that's about it." I told him. It got quiet for a couple minutes and then he spoke up. " I wanted to tell you something.." he said. My head shot up and I started listening intently. "I wanted to tell you that I'm going on tour soon... and I wanted to know if you'd go with me?" he asked. I was happy he was finally telling me but I was even more happy that he asked me to go with him! I obviously already knew what I was going to say. "Of course I will!" I practically screamed at him. His face instantly lit up with happiness. "Really?" he asked. "Yeah, it sounds fun!" I said. "That's awesome. I'm so glad you said yes!" he said while leaning over to give me a hug. "Well I'm really glad that you asked me." I said. "When does it start?" I asked him. "In about a week." he told me. "That sounds good, all I have to do before now and then is get all my next weeks clients tattoos done this week." I said. "That should be real easy." I said with sarcasm in my tone. Austin laughed. "Well it'll be worth it, you'll get to spend like 3 months with me." he said with a smile. "That is true." I said. I was so excited, I went to Warped a couple times when I was younger and it was so much fun. But going to Warped every day would be even better, especially with Austin. Me and him weren't dating yet but I hope he would ask me soon.
Austin's P.O.V
Yes! Amber said yes to coming with me. I'm so excited and I know she'll have a good time. Getting to spend almost 3 months with her is going to be the best because I love to spend time with her. And I think I'm finally gonna ask her to be my girlfriend. I like her a lot, I actually think I love her. I know she feels the same but I'm still so nervous to ask. What if she tells me that she's not ready for a relationship? She could say anything and that's what scares me. She's so perfect and I don't think I could bear the thought of not having her be mine. I don't want to think negative though. All I could do was hope for the best. And I had to think of how to ask her.. how would I do it? I'll talk to Alan about it tomorrow. Maybe he'd know what to do.
--Sorry this chapter kinda sucks, I'm trying to lead up to the interesting stuff but I don't want to just put it in the story, I want to lead up to it.
