The Dilemma.

Anchors Make Good Shoes (If You Have Issues)

Austin's POV:

"How did I manage to be with someone so beautiful?" I asked Alan as he sipped his beer.

"I don't know man. How did I manage to become best friend's with the weirdest girl ever? We'll never know." He chuckled and bit into his pizza and walked out of the kitchen. I grabbed my beer and brought Fayth some orange juice.

"Babe, are you sure you don't want to go to bed?" I nudged her as she was falling asleep on the couch.

"One more hour. I need to see who quits the game first." She smiled and placed her head on her hand as I sat next to her and put my arm around her waist. 

"Just tell me when." I kissed her on top of her head and continued to watch the four boys play Monopoly.

"Don't be such a sore loser bro." Mike said as he changed the channel.

"Shut up Mikey. I don't need your sass right now." Vic glared at Mike and then rolled the dice."I'll take my $200 now Turtle." He said and stuck his hand out to Tony.

"You're such a diva, Vic." Tony chuckled.

"Both of you shut up, it's my turn. I must concentrate my porcupineness on this game." Jaime said while intensley rolling his dice.

"Go to motherfuckin' jail Jaime." Alan said while Jaime grumbled to himself.

   I looked over at Alicia who was sitting next to Tony smiling at him. I felt Fayth's head go against my shoulder and I looked down at her as she dozed off.

"Hey, guys, we're gonna go to bed. She's about to pass out. We'll see you in the morning."

"Night Austin." everyone said and continued playing Monopoly. I stood up and picked Fayth up and carried her to her room and set her on her bed. I took my pant's off and shed my shirt and crawled into bed with her and pulled the blanket over us. She cuddled up next to me and I wrapped my arms around her and fell fast asleep. It was good to be home and it was great to be back with this wonderful girl.

Fayth's POV:

      I woke up in the arms of Austin who was sound asleep softly snoring. I guess I fell asleep on the couch and he brought me into my room and decided to sleep too. I looked over at the clock, 6am. Great. I can't get up because it's too early. I laid my head back down and closed my eyes trying to fall asleep again. It wasn't working. I removed the blanket and got out of Austin's grip, silently hoping he wouldn't wake up. I replaced the blanket and slightly tucked Austin in. I removed my pants and shirt and replaced them with sweats and a sweater and put my hair up into a bun. I grabbed my glasses and put them on and then walked out of my bedroom and silently shut my door.

       I shuffled to the living room to find Jaime sprawled out sleeping on the floor, Vic sleeping on the couch, Alan with his arm sticking out on the other couch and Mike passed out snoring in the love seat. I was guessing that Tony and Alicia went to her room. I proceeded my way into the kitchen and got out some orange juice.

"Morning sleepy head." I smiled at the shirtless Mike who was yawning and rubbing his head.

"What time is it?" He asked while stretching.

"It's like 7am. Why are you awake?" I laughed and drank from my cup.

"Question is, why are you awake?" He smiled and made his way over to the coffee maker.

"How can you even drink that shit?" I said with a disgusted face as he made it.

"How can you not?" He questioned back. "I'm hungry, I'm gonna make some breakfast. You want any babe?" He asked and opened the fridge.

"You might as well just make it for everyone too." I pointed out.

"A lot of fucking food coming right up." He smiled.

"You know where everything is. This isn't the first time you've made breakfast here." I said and walked out of the kitchen and back into my room. I set my cup down on my dresser and took my glasses off. I grabbed a towel and went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I closed the door and stripped off my clothes and took my hair out of it's bun. I got in and slid the door shut and stood under the warm water. I heard a knock on the door but knew Mike would get it so I continued to wash my body. I heard my bathroom door open and then close. Then the shower door slid open. I looked over to see Austin smiling.

"May I join?" He asked politely and I nodded. He closed the door and stripped his boxers and slid into the shower. He slid my hair over to one side and kissed me on the neck then turned me around and kissed me very passionately . 

"I mean. Just like. Did someone miss me?" I asked still in shock.

"Maybe a little." He winked and kissed me again. We finished the shower and I wrapped myself in my towel while Austin wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Do you need a towel?" I laughed at his nakedness.

"That would be great." He smiled and kissed me on my shoulder. I walked out and down the hall and grabbed him a towel. I smelt food and walked back to the bathroom and threw Austin his towel. 

"Go get dressed weirdo." I winked and walked down the hall into the living room where no one was. I turned and walked into the kitchen.

"Fayth!" Jack yelled from the other side of the kitchen.

"Okay, I'm sorry, did I not get the memo of the tour reunion or some shit?" I laughed as Jack hugged me.

"Is this a no clothes party? Guys, why didn't you tell me that this was a no clothes party?! I would've actually participated." Jack said and everyone laughed.

"I just got out of the shower Boner Boy, and you guys are fucking lucky I have a huge living room and kitchen!" I walked over to Alex who was eating a waffle and leaned against the island. "How's my favorite lost boy?" I winked and took a piece of bacon off of his plate.

"You did not just take my bacon." He looked at me and shook his head.

"Indeed I did." I smirked and bit down on it.

"See, this is why we can't have nice things." Tony came up behind me and grabbed another piece of Alex's bacon.

"Guys, seriously, the bacon, stop stealing it." Alex pouted and I patted his head.

"I'm going to go get dressed. Mikey, get Alex more bacon before he cries." I teased and turned on my heel and walked out towards my bedroom. I walked down the hall and Austin passed me. "Austin." I smiled.

"Fayth." He smirked and grabbed onto my towel and ripped it off.

"Austin Robert Carlile, I am going to kick your ass." I laughed and ran into my room.

"I'd like to see you try missy!" He called from the hallway. I grabbed my new OM&M shirt that had a camouflage & sign on it, I also put on my black shorts and brushed my hair out. I walked to the bathroom and put my contacts in.

"Morning Fayth." Alicia said ad yawned.

"Whatever you do. Do not go into the kitchen." I warned.

"Why? Isn't Tony and Austin only here?" She looked at me confused.

"Nope. Instead, Jack, Alex, Tino, Phil, Aaron, Mikey, your Turtle, Vic, Jaime, Alan and Austin are all in the kitchen." I looked at her and raised and eyebrow.

"Holy shit! Jack is here?! I'm going to go steal his food." She laughed and ran to the kitchen. I walked down the hall and sat on the couch and flipped on the TV. Austin came out of the kitchen with two plated of food and handed one to me. I looked over at the kitchen and saw as Alicia, Jack, Tony, and Alan laughing together. I feel like a proud parent. hoe she get's along with them so well is a mystery. I looked over at Austin who was shoving part of a pancake into his mouth.

"What?" He mumbled with a mouth full of food.

"I don't know." I laughed and ate my waffles. Austin looked over at me and set his plate down.

"What?" I said.

"We need to talk." He said with a serious tone.
