Distant (Book 3)

Chapter 22: Dirty Work~

"Okay guys ready?" I hear Austin say.
"1...2.."
"Don't even think about it." I say.
I open my eyes and see all four boys holding air horns.
"Danget!" Robert says.
The other girls start to wake up.
"What's happening?" Paige asks, tiredly.
"The boys were about to wake all of us up with air horns." I say.
I get up and take all the air horns from the guys.
"Wow real mature." Marisa says.
"When are they ever mature?" Taylor says.
"Hey! We can be mature!" Alex defends.
The girls and I look at each other then all burst out in laughter.
"Good one Alex!" I say.
"Ya'll bonded with Sadie too much last night." Alex says.
"What are you trying to say Alex? That I'm a bad influence?"
"They weren't all this mean before."
"We're not being that mean, stop overreacting Alex." Paige says.
"See, she would have never said that before she spent the whole night with you." Alex tells me.
"Okay if you don't want me to have any friends thats fine." I say, getting a little mad then going to my room.
I hide the air horns.
"Sade." I hear Austin say.
I turn to him.
"I'm not that mean am I?" I ask.
"Of course not." He says, putting his hands on my upper arms.
"You're just saying that because you're my boyfriend."
"No I'm not, and you asked."
"It didn't influence any of them to do anything."
"I know."
"They chose they're own actions."
"I know."
"So Alex shouldn't be mad at me."
"I know."
"It's like he doesn't want me to make any friends because he thinks I'll influence them or whatever."
"Are you done?" He asks.
"Yes."
He lifts my chin up then leans in and kisses me.
"Alex didn't mean to hurt you're feelings."
"You can't speak for him." I say.
"Fine."
He takes my hand and we both go back out to the lounge area.
"Alex." Paige says, once she sees I'm in the room.
"I'm sorry Sadie. I didn't mean what I said."
"It's okay." I say.
"Now was that so hard?" Paige asks Alex.
"Now was that so hard?" Alex mimics.
Paige raises an eyebrow at Alex. He smiles cheezily and wraps his arms around her. They are so cute. We all go downstairs to see Mama making a big breakfast.
"Aww Mama, you didn't have to do this."
"Oh don't be silly, we have guests over." She says.
"I'm don't count as a guest?" I tease.
She laughs a bit.
Soon breakfast is done and we all sit at the table and eat.
"So you guys know how I've been working on Dirty Work and how it's supposed to come out July 10th?" Austin says.
"Please don't tell me you're postponing it longer?! You know you're Mahomies hate that." I say.
"Nope. Since it's been so highly requested that I release it early, my record label is letting me do that. It's coming out tonight."
"Wow! Early? That's unlike you. Are you okay? Are you sick?"
"Ha ha very funny." Austin says.
"The Mahomies will definitely be surprised." Zach says.
"I like Dirty Work a lot. It's a really upbeat song and I can see it being a summer song that everyone puts on their summer music playlist." I say.
"Yeah! That's exactly what I was going for."
"Hey Sadie." Dad says, coming into the kitchen.
"Yeah?"
"Here in a minute you need to start moving your stuff to the house." He tells me.
"Okay." I say, then take a sip of my orange juice.
After breakfast the girls leave. I go up to my room. I didn't really unpack my boxes at all so I don't really have to pack as much as I just need to move the boxes over to the house.
"Do you want me to help?" Austin asks.
"If you want." I say.
"That didn't answer my question." He says.
"Okay then sure, you can help." I say.
We start grabbing boxes and putting them in my car then taking them to the new house.

Austin and I set the last two boxes of mine in my room.
"Finally!" I exclaim!
Austin lays on the floor.
"Please tell me why you have to have so many things."
"I gave you the choice of helping or not but you made me choose between yes or no."
"Well at least we're done."
"You're done, I still have to help my Dad get some stuff over." I say.
Austin stands up.
"No I'll help."
"No it's fine. Dirty Work comes out soon, go home." I say.
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I'll see you there a little later, we still don't have our beds here." I tell him.
"Okay. Love you." He says, then kisses me.
"Love you too." I say.
He leaves and I help Dad get most of the other boxes in the house.
"Alright, I think that's good enough for today, we'll finish tomorrow." Dad says.
"Okay." I say.
I get in my car and Dad and Heather get in Dad's and we head back to Austin's house. Once I get to the house I go to Austin's room.
"Is everyone liking it?" I ask him.
"They are loving it. A lot of them are even starting to promote it." He says.
"Awesome. Well I'm going to take a shower then go to bed." I say.
"Want me to give you a massage after your shower?"
"That would be wonderful." I say.
He nods.
I go take a shower and get ready for bed then I go to Austin's room and have him give me a massage. After that I'm too tired to go to my room.
"I'm too tired to move." I say.
"Then don't." Austin says.
"Ok. I won't." I say then get under the covers.
I lay facing Austin.
"You know I never asked you, where do you want your wedding to be?" I ask.
"Wherever my bride wants to have it."
"That's sweet."
He smiles.
"I can't wait for the day I get married." I say.
"It will be the best day ever."
