"Can I drive?" I asked.
Katia looked at me and her jaw literally dropped. She and Austin looked at each other and then back at me.
"Do you have a license?" he asked.
I nodded and he handed me the keys. We all got into the car and I took a deep breath. "Mom and dad died in a car accident. A pickup slammed into the driver's side," I said suddenly. Katia screamed softly and Austin pulled me to him. "I haven't driven since then. This is the first time." I softly kissed the side of Austin's neck, then pulled away. I put the keys in the ignition, and started the car.
I pulled the car out of the lot and onto the street. I took deep breaths and kept on driving. Under the speed limit, but I was still driving. Katia was crying in the back, and Austin was quietly telling me he loved me and that he was proud of me. I reached over and grabbed Austin's hand and kissed the back of it like he always did me.
When we got home I just sat there. "I did it," I whispered. I looked over at Austin and he smiled at me.
"We are so proud of you, Avery Lillianna," Katia said, kissing my cheek.
We got out of the car and Austin kept me outside. He pulled me close to him and kissed me harder than usual.
"What was that for?" I whispered against his lips, kissing him again.
"Simply because I can," he said, kissing me again.
I blushed and pulled him closer, and he put his hands on my waist.
Katia pulled open the door just then and snapped a picture. We pulled apart and I smiled up at him.
"I love you," I said.
"I love you too," he replied. "We got stuff to do tomorrow, so go get changed. Okay?"
I smiled and walked upstairs to put pajamas on. I figured Austin was sleeping with me tonight, so I took all the stuffed animals off my bed and set them on the floor. Then I looked through my dresser for pajamas. It was super humid, so I found some shorts and a tank top. I grabbed a towel and took my stuff to the bathroom to get a shower. I ran downstairs to find Austin to tell him, and found him in the kitchen.
"Babe, I'm gonna get in the shower real quick. I love you," I said, kissing him quickly.
"Okay. I love you too. I should be up by the time you get done," he said, kissing me back.
I went back upstairs and got ready for my shower.
