I had a cool idea for like my completed books, idk if it'd work but it'd kind of be like a "where are they now?" Kind of thing for all the stories I've completed. Like for Bulletproof it's be where like Brogan, Austin, and their children are, as well as Ella etc. Idk I thought about it when thinking about the way I ended Sunlight because it didn't end in a way that told you their future and such, idk. I just had this idea and it seemed like a cool one and I don't think anyone has done that, but idk if it's really that great of an idea. It'd really include all of the major characters in my stories. Idk man, idk. Does it seem like a cool idea? Idk, are you even reading this? 😂

"Can you please just give me an honest opinion?" I huff, rolling my eyes. Austin had showed up at my house out of the blue, obviously taking my 'I'll be less shitty towards you' as an invitation for friendship, all while I'm getting ready for my date with Dan. I had two options laying out on my bed and Austin is being to stubborn to help me out.
"I think I need to see you in the first" He walks past me, slapping my butt playfully, and I glare at him.
"Both of these outfits you've seen on me. You were there when I bought them"
"Hmm, I don't recall" He taps a finger against his chin "Come on hot stuff, change your clothes" I huff and sit down on the floor, covering my face with my hands "What's wrong?" Austin sits down beside me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I shake my head, Austin pulling me closer to him, my face buried into his chest "Don't cry Len" He kisses the top of my head.
"I'm not" I deny.
"Why are you upset?" He asks, and I shrug, though I know full well why I'm upset. I'm upset that I still want Austin. I'm upset that I agreed going on a date with Dan knowing full well that Austin is who still has my heart. I'm upset that Austin still has complete control over me "Lennon" Austin cups my face in his hands, wiping away my tears with his thumb "You're going to go out with Dan and you're going to have an amazing time" He tells me "He's going to treat you right, and put you before everything and everyone else, he'll see you as a queen in his eyes, he'll be everything you want and need" He pulls me back into his chest "He'll be everything I couldn't be for you" He adds in a whisper.
I pull back and wipe my tears, standing up. Austin stands up as well, running his thumb along my cheek bone "I've got to go, but go with the first one. You've always looked stunning in burgundy" He tells me, kissing my forehead lightly before walking out of my room.
It seems like the time of my date sneaks up on me and before I know it I'm in Dans car, as he drives us to dinner. From the beginning he was a complete gentleman. He told me I looked beautiful, and opened my door for me. He pulled out my chair for me at the restaurant. He paid for dinner and paid for the movie we are now watching.
My eyes focus on the screen, but my mind is focused on his hand sliding into mine "Slick" I lean over, whispering in his ear. He chuckles and nudges his shoulder along mine, making me grin. The date went a lot better than I had expected, but in the back of my mind were two things, Austin, and moving back to LA.

"I had fun" I tell Dan as he walks me to my front door.
"I did too" He nods, and I smile "Is it wrong to kiss you? Like I don't want to push you into anything you don't want, especially with the while Austin thing that happened. I don't want you to think I'm trying to replace him because I'm not" He rambles, shaking his head.
I giggle and lean forward, pressing a light kiss to his lips "It's not wrong" I shake my head, a small smile on my lips "I'll see you soon, hopefully we'll do this again" I grin.
"We'll definitely do this again" He nods "I'll see you, Lennon"
I unlock my door and step inside, showering and getting ready for bed, smiling when I see a goodnight text from Dan. I respond and lay down in bed, falling asleep. I wake back up around two am, and sigh, sitting up. I pull out my phone, it going off just as I pick it up.
From: Austin🙊🍕
You awake?
To: Austin🙊🍕
Unfortunately yes😔
From: Austin🙊🍕
Me too, can't sleep😕
To: Austin🙊🍕
I just woke up, and it doesn't seem like I'm going back to bed anytime soon
From: Austin🙊🍕
Wanna meet me? We can hang out at the pool
To: Austin🙊🍕
Sure, I'll be there in 20
I lock my phone and climb out of bed, throwing on my lifeguard hoodie and putting on a pair of flip flops and walking down the hallway as quiet as possible. I drive to the pool and pull up, meeting Austin out front. He smiles at me, and unlocks the gate, sitting down on one of the pool chairs.
"How was your date?" He asks.
"It's was great actually" I grin, and so does he.
"Good, I'm glad" He places his hand on my knee "Did you guys make out?" He asks in a girly voice and I laugh, pushing his shoulder.
"No" I shake my head "It was just a peck"
"That's boring, why?"
"Just because" I shrug "But I felt bad after because he told me he wasn't trying to replace you, which made me feel bad for some reason" I sigh.
"He's better than me" Austin admits "That's one thing I will always admit, he's better than me when it comes to treating girls right. That's why I know he's good for you" He says and I lean my head on Austin's shoulder, my arm wrapping around his.
"Can we be friends?" I ask "It's a weird thing to ask now, but I don't want to leave and just never talk to you again"
"We'll always be friends Lennon" He rests his head on mine "Whenever you need me, I'll be here"
"That means a lot"
"When are you leaving?" He asks.
"Three weeks or so" I sigh.
"You're coming back right?"
"Yeah, Miami is my home. And don't worry, I'll work here next summer too, still have two more years of college to get through" I huff.
"What are you studying?"
"Forensics"
"That's cool, what made you do that?"
"I liked Criminal Minds and Forensic Files as a kid" I laugh and he does too.
"I went to college for culinary" Austin says and my jaw drops.
"No you didn't"
"You're right" He laughs "I went for Architecture"
"Then why are you working at a pool?" I ask "Architecture is so much more exciting"
"Because I can do both" He shrugs "And think, if I didn't do both, we wouldn't be sitting here"
"Maybe not here, but I honestly do believe I would've met you still" I admit.
"Why is that?"
"I don't know, it just seems like it was inevitable for me to meet you, like I just have a feeling I was supposed to meet you, no matter what the circumstance"
"I've never thought about it honestly, but I can see where you're coming from" He says.
"I don't know, I'm cheesy at two am" I snort.
"It's cute" He chuckles "It's one of the reason I like you"

Fanfiction"I want to know you" I mumble, and he chuckles, taking a drag from the cigarettes between his fingers. "Princess, I don't want to know you" "Then what do you want?" I ask, but he doesn't respond. He just puts out his cigarette sending me a wink and...
