Almost 2.9K!!!! , here's another chapter, enjoy!

I lay on the couch half falling off, waiting for Alan to finish getting ready to take me to the airport.

Austin was coming home today, and I am beyond excited for Austin to come home. We haven't been face timing or skyping because he, and his dad have been busy.

My tattoo is going to be a complete surprise to him. Alan, Tino, Phil, Aaron, and myself are all throwing a bonfire at Aaron's. Aaron and his girlfriend, Amanda are going to be throwing it.

I had only met Amanda once, and from what she was like, she's so funny and out going. I know Aaron really likes her because he'd always go out of his way to talk to her over the phone at sometimes three in the morning when we would get back to the bus really late from bars.

Anouk, Phil's girlfriend was going to be there also. I'm really looking forward to introducing Storme to the rest of the guys and of course, Austin.

Alan comes stumbling down the stairs with his bag, and his hair still kind of a mess. A good kind of mess at least.

"Are you ready yet... Are you ready yet... Are you ready yet?" I call out

"Yes Lindsay yes Lindsay yes Lindsay," Alan laughs.

I quickly jump off the couch, and run out the door, and throw myself into mine, and Austin's car.

The plan is for Alan to drive me there then we pick up Austie, and I drive home. I make myself comfortable, and pull the nail polish out of my pocket.

"You're seriously going to paint your goddamn nails?"

"Why not?"

Alan sighs, shaking his head, and revs up the engine. We make our way to the airport as I paint my nails white.

"Why white?"

I completely blow him off with a smile, and take my black nail art out of my other pocket and start painting the letters onto my nails.

When they finish drying I quickly flash them to Alan who gives me a funny look.

I admire my nails which say

A U S T I C A R L I

I quickly tap my fingers on the door handle as we approach the airport.

"Calm down," Alan says, "Austin's plane doesn't land for another hour."

I let out a heavy sigh, and open my door as soon as Alan finds a spot to park. I stomp all the way into the airport, and to the Starbucks.

"Could I have a medium cinnamon dolce latte, a small double chocolaty chip frapp, and a large caffè mocha?"

She tells me my bill, and I quickly make my way over to pay her, and get my coffee. I grab my coffee, and make my way over to where Austin is supposed to come out at.

I sit down on the floor, and set my coffee in front of me, and start drinking my cinnamon latte.

"Are those all for you?" Alan asks.

"Yep."

"Why didn't you get me one?"

"Because I didn't think I could order another one."

He sits on the ground next to me, and sticks his finger in my whip cream on my mocha drink.

"Do you mind?" I joke.

He laughs, and licks his finger.

"Brb I'm gonna go get myself pumpkin spice coffee," He says pushing himself off the ground as I continue to suck down my coffee.

I finish drinking my cinnamon coffee, and set it in front of me, and quickly take a sip of my mocha drink, and watch Alan as he approaches me.

"Wow, I can't believe you could drink coffee that fast."

"You better believe it," I say sipping more of my coffee.

I look down at my phone noticing that only ten minutes has passed. Before I realize it, Alan is smearing whip cream on my face.

"It really adds to your natural features."

"Oh does it now?" I ask taking the rest of the whip cream into my hand and slapping it in his hair.

"Did you seriously just do that?" Alan asks.

I throw my empty coffee cup into the garbage, and quickly grab my frapp, and the rest of my mocha drink, and make a run into the girls bathroom. I turn around to notice Alan standing right outside of it.

I run into a stall taking my time drinking the rest of my coffees.

After about twenty minutes passes I finish drinking my coffee, and toss them into the garbage, and make my way out of the ladies room, and back to where we originally sat.

I don't see any traces of Alan, but I sit down where we had anyway, and play on my phone. After about ten minutes of waiting for Alan, I feel a warm goo I top of my head. I quickly stand up, and turn around to see Alan holding a coffee cup, and whip cream and chocolate covering his hands.

"Whoops, sorry I didn't mean for that to happen," Alan fakes.

I stomp onto his foot, and make my way into the ladies room, once again, and throw my head into the sink trying so hard to get the whip cream out of my hair.

I reach to the right of me, an grab a bunch of paper towels, and try dryingmynhair with them. I quickly run my fingers through my hair. I kneel onto the ground, and press the button on the hand drier, and let it blow out my hair.

After what seems like forever I run my fingers through my hair again, and walk back out of the bathroom to see Alan sitting where I had been sitting before he had covered my hair in whip cream.

"Well oh well, look who decided to come out of the bathroom," Alan sings.

"You know I'm quite pissed at you for that."

"You did it to me!" Alan whines.

"But I'm a girl! Now I have to go home, and take another shower."

"Too bad," Alan says sticking his tongue out at me.

I look at my phone as it says five minutes until Austin is supposed to get off that plane, and see me for the first time in a week.

I begin to see people coming out of the tunnel, and before I know it I see Austin looking curiously around scanning the crowd of people looking for me.

I quickly jump up, and run over to him. He sees me just in time I catch me as I jump into him, wrapping my legs around his waist.

"Oh my god I've missed your touch," he whispers.

"I've missed you so much," I say clinging onto him.

He kisses me gently, and I jump off him.

"How much Starbucks did you drink? Damn," he laughs.

"Only three."

He shakes his head, and puts his forehead to mine.

"I love you so much Lindsay."

"I love you so much too."

** 8 hours later. **
** 9:00 PM **

"Common Linds, we don't wanna be late do we?" Austin calls into the bathroom for the third time.

I mean I know it's just a bonfire, but I still have I look somewhat decent. I unplug the flat iron from the wall, and grab my phone shoving it into my back pocket. I walk into the living room, and turn off all the lights.

"Ready?"

"Sure am," Austin replies.

We make our way out to the car, feeling the brisk air against our skin. I give a light shiver not expecting the sudden rush of cold.

We finally arrive at Aaron's and Amanda's house, and head into the backyard to see Alan, Aaron, Amanda, Anouk, Phil, Tino, and Storme.

After about five minutes I formally introduce Storme to everybody. The smile on Storme's face when he met everyone was so great. It felt so nice to see how happy he was.

"So Lindsay, how did you meet Storme?" Austin asks

"Well I went to get a tattoo this weekend, and he just so happened to know who Alan, and I were, an he did my tattoo."

"Why didn't you tell me that you were getting a tattoo?"

"It was supposed to be a surprise."

"What is it?"

"I'll show you later babe."

Austin puts his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. Alan walks buy us throwing four beers at us, sitting on the other side of Austin.

We listen to a bunch of music, dance, sing, and just hang out, talking about different stories about each other's lives. It was a really good night. Seeing everybody laughing, and smiling. Just genuinely having fun, and enjoying each other's company.

I dread every passing minute because I just want this night to never end. The guys really make me feel loved, and really make me laugh.

"You ready babe?" Austin asks me, "it's around one."

Everybody except Austin, and I lad left with the exception of an extremely drunk Alan. I nod my head, and we make our way over to the car saying our thanks to Aaron, and Amanda for allowing us to come over, and hang out with everybody.

When we finally get home, I quickly crawl into the door, and climb onto the couch.

"I'm so tired," I whine to Austin.

Austin walks over to me, and presses his lips against mine.

"Let's get you to bed," Austin says picking me up bridal style, and taking me up to our bedroom.

He lays me down on the bed, and walks into the bathroom. He comes back in with my clothing, and lays it on the bed.

I quickly get dressed while Austin is in the room brushing his teeth. Of course he doesn't bother to bring me a shirt. I jump inside the covers, and pull them cover my head.

"Oh no where'd she go?" Austin asks tickling me through the blankets.

I shriek loudly and he stops.

"Ouchy," I say holding my side.

"Shit, that's where you got your tattoo, isn't it?" He asks.

"Yeah," I say pulling away the covers showing him my new brightly colored tattoo.

"It's so beautiful," he says rubbing his hand lightly over the fresh ink.

The beautiful purples, blues, and pinks fading throughout the backgrounds behind the black trees.

I pull the covers back over me as Austin puts his arm around my waist.

"Goodnight Lindsay,"

"Goodnight Austie."
