I slow to a walk after I know I'm far away from that cop. I keep walking till I see a car, and it's going really fast.
I jump out of the way just in time, but the car screeches to a stop. I scoot over to the front of the car once I realize who's driving.
The person comes out and sees me "dead" on the road. "Oh my gosh, I just killed a person," I hear Austin say flatly. Then, looking closer, he realizes it's me, so he stands up, kicks his car, and I hear him mumble to himself, "Great, now I'm always gonna owe her a bag of chips."
He walks over to me and I punch him in the nose and get off the ground.
"Nice to see you again Austin," I say, putting my hands on my hips.
"Nice to see you too," he grumbles back, rubbing his now bleeding nose.
"One question, very simple.....WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THIS CAR!" I yell very loudly.
"Umm.....ya know what? I'm just gonna go now." Austin says, running and jumping into the car. "Hey! Get back here, you still owe me chips!" I yell, trying to open the car even though it is locked.
"Gosh, here, take this." He says throwing a bag of lays potato chips at me.
"I hate lays!" I say, disgusted, throwing the bag on the ground.
"Oh, I'm sorry, your highness," he says, giving me a smug look.
"Really? You're keeping the whole runaway princess thing up," I say, rolling my eyes in annoyance.
"Whatever. See you...never," he says, pressing the gas pedal, but nothing happens. "Great. Just great," I hear him mumble, banging his head on the steering wheel.
"What's up?" I ask him, giving him a smug smile to repay him for all of his.
I watch him get out of the car really annoyed. "I need your help with something," he says to me, obviously not wanting to ask for my help.
"With what?" I ask, putting my hand on my hip and raising my eyebrow.
"I need you to help me to steal some gas," Austin says quickly, trying to get it over with.
I begin to wonder if- I shake the thought, thinking it's not possible.
"Why would I do that?" I ask but his answer surprises me. "Because I did this" he says, then he kisses me on the lips.
When he pulls away, I just stand there with eyes wide open. "You gonna help me now?" he says, raising an eyebrow and smiling. Not looking a bit embarrassed, I might add.
"Yeah, sure," I say, still in shock from what just happened.
"Thanks" he says and starts walking away....
...and I follow.
