No Place Like Home

Chapter 19

Austin's POV
"Don't worry, we'll take great care of her!" Trish said, holding Kins in her arms.
"I know you will." Ally said with a smile. She leaned over and planted a kiss on top of Kinsley's head, "See you later tonight baby; be good for Aunt Trish and Jace. I love you."
I kissed her soft head after Ally and looked at her, "Love you baby girl."
"Bye guys! Have fun tonight." Trish said, waving as we walked to our car.
When we got inside of the car, we looked back the front door to see Trish holding Kinsley's hand, waving goodbye.
A chuckle escapes me and I look over at Ally. "She's adorable."
"Sure is." Ally says, intertwining our fingers across the console.
"Just like a beautiful birthday girl I'm accompyning tonight." I tell her.
She leans across the center of the car and kisses my cheek as I begin to pull out of Trish's driveway.
"So, what are we doing tonight?" She anxiously asks.
"Well, I thought we'd have that perfect date you helped me plan years ago."
Her mouth opens in shock, "Austin.."
"We've never had it, and you deserve it." I tell her, looking over to see her eyes glistening.
"So, we're going to watch a silent movie and have those heart shaped salamis?"
"Yep, and I packed plenty of pickles."
"Austin, you're amazing!"
"That's not even the best part." I say with a wink.
"What? There's more? How could there possibly be more?" She asks.
"Well, I rented out the park, so it'll just be me, you, and nature."
"I didn't even know you could do that." She says, amazed.
"I would find a way to do anything for you Alls." I tell her, squeezing her hand.
A couple of minutes later, we arrive at the park just as the stars are beginning to sparkle.
I head to the back of the car with Ally and retrieve the picnic basket along with my guitar.
"I didn't know you brought your guitar."
"Tonight holds many surprises." I tell her.
We walk into the park, and I spread our blanket over the ground as the movie begins to play on the big screen in front of us.

Ally's POV
By the end of the movie, Austin and I had finished our picnic, and my face was stained with tears.
I still can't believe he did this for me. He's such an amazing man.
I rub off the remaining tears on my face with my sleeve as Austin begins to pack up.
"Thank you so much Austin; this was the perfect birthday." I say, reaching over and hugging him.
"You're welcome baby, but there's still one more thing." He says, reaching over and picking up his guitar. "I didn't want to get you something artificial this year, so I did what we do best; I wrote you a song. I hope you like it sweetie."
He begins to softly strum the guitar and his sweet voice fills the park,
"Nothing's quite as pretty as Ally in the morning
When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there
Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers
Warm as the sunlight shining on her head
When I awake and see her there so close beside me
I want to take her in my arms,
The ache is there so deep inside me
Nothing's quite as pretty as Ally in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
And when she turns to touch me I kiss her fingers so softly
And then my Ally wakes to love and love again
And Ally's there in summer days or stormy weather
She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,
We share together
Nothing's quite as pretty as Ally in the evening
Kissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share."
My vision goes blurry as Austin finishes his song; tears are streaming down my face.
"Austin...I love you so much!" I tell him, erasing the distance between us.
"And I love you beautiful." He says, planting a kiss on my wet face.
"Baby," I say pulling back and placing my hand on his cheek, "You missed."
I lean in as he leaves a long lingering kiss on my lips.
When we break away, we lay back on our blanket together and watch the night sky.
Austin turns his head towards me and softly sings, "Nothing's quite as pretty as you are in the evening, kissed by the shade of night and starlight in your hair."
I wrap my arms around his body and lay my head on his chest as I listen to his heart beat.

Words could never describe how much I truly loved this man.
