"Stop stealing her from me" Austin whines, Tiana rolling her eyes and placing a hand on her hips.

"I'm not stealing her, I'm just hanging out with her before we leave" Tiana argues.

"But she's mine" He tightens his grip around me, burying his face into my neck and I chuckle.

"As you can see, he's very clingy in the morning" I run my fingers through his hair kissing his forehead.

"Well, it's not my fault I was woken up to you leaving me" He pouts and I giggle.

"You need to let go so I can leave" I grab his wrists trying to pry them away from but he only tightens his grip "Austin Carter" I groan, his grip not letting up.

"No, don't leave me" He frowns.

"I have to, I'll be back soon" I laugh, repeatedly kissing his forehead "If you let go now, I'll repay you later" I sing song, and he looks up at me, his eyes wide. As he looks at the smirk on my face he immediately lets go.

"Have fun, be safe, I'll see you when you get back" He shoos me out of the door, Tiana and I laughing.

"What'd you say to him?"

"Just some empty promises" I shrug with a wink. She laughs and we walk to the car, getting inside.

"What do you want to do today?" She asks as we pull out of the driveway and I shrug.

"I don't care"

"I need ideas you hoe" She teases.

"I really have no idea"

"Let's go to the mall" She switches lanes as the mall comes into view, quickly turning the car into the parking lot. She parks and we climb out, walking inside "So, when these empty promises become actually promises we need to get you something cute"

"What? No" I shake my head, knowing by the smirk on her face what she was meaning "That's not going to happen anytime soon"

"Aw, why not?" She pouts.

"I don't know" I shrug "I just don't think I'd be ready to do that anytime soon"

"Have you thought about it?" She asks, as we walk into Victoria's Secret.

"Who wouldn't?" I ask rhetorically and her eyes widen.

"I guess that's true" She chuckles, browsing the various bras and pairs of underwear "What's your size?" She asks.

"No-"

"Don't argue with me" She holds up a finger "Bra?"

"32C" I answer.

"Underwear?"

"Large"

"Cool" She says, flicking through everything.

"Tiana you really don't-"

"Oh shut up, I'm going to" She rolls her eyes, carrying everything she picked up to the cashier.

"Tiana-"

"Stop Griffin" She laughs "I'm doing this because I'm your friend"

"Ugh fine" I groan as she pays and hands me the bag.

"You're welcome" She winks.

"Thanks" I shyly smile and we walk out of the store.

"Smoothie?" She asks, pointing to a smoothie stand.

"I don't like smoothies" I shake my head "I'm more of a milkshake person"

"Oh my god, you sound just like Austin" She rolls her eyes, laughing "You two are perfect for each other"

"Baby! You're back!" Austin runs up to me as I walk into the door. He wraps his arms tightly around me and carries me upstairs.

"Put me down!" I kick my legs back and forth.

"Okay, give me a second" He opens the door to his room and drops me onto the bed, laying beside me.

"You're really clingy, you know that?" I play with the collar of his shirt.

"I'm normally not" He sighs "I don't know what happened to me"

"I don't either" I laugh, his legs tangling with mine.

"So, about you repaying me..." He trails off and I laugh loudly.

"Shut up, I was lying" I wink and he pouts.

"Wow, you're a great person"

"Sorry bub" I poke his nose, and he rolls his eyes, swatting my hand away "It's nap time" I close my eyes, burying my face into his pillow.

"No, you can't sleep" He pushes me to lay on my back.

"No, stop" I whine "I'm sleepy"

"Baby, please, I want to talk to you"

"We have time to talk when we go on our road trip" I roll back over onto my side, reaching behind me to grab his arm and wrap it around me "Now, take a nap with me"

"Fine" He sighs, linking one of his legs through mine, and tightening his grip around me "But I would like to question before we sleep is what you bought today because I saw a nice Victoria's Secret bag" He mumbles, burying his face into my neck.

"Oh, that's Tiana's stuff" I lie "Now sleep" I close my eyes.

"You lie so much" He chuckles, kissing the back of my shoulder "But I'll believe you for now"

"Ready to go?" Austin asks, carrying our suitcases to his truck.

"Yeah, I'm ready" I nod, and he smiles, kissing my cheek as he opens the passenger door for me, before walking to put our stuff in the trunk. 

"So, we'll run back home, pack some more clothes and hit the road again okay?" 

"Okay" I nod, waving bye to the guys and girls who are in the other car, backing out of the driveway. 

"You can take a nap on the way there since it's late" Austin places his hands on my thigh, turning on the car and backing out of the driveway.

"I took one earlier so I'm good" I shrug, taking out my phone and scrolling through twitter. After about two hours of playing on my phone, singing loudly to the radio and long meaningful talks with Austin we pull into his driveway.

"I'll meet you back here" I smile, opening the door and grabbing my suitcase from the trunk and pulling it toward my house. 

"You're home!" My mom smiles, looking as if she wants to hug me. 

"Can't talk, Austin wants to road trip" I walk up the steps. 

"Um, did you think to ask?" 

"Yeah, but then I decided against it" I shrug and she scoffs. 

"No, you can't go" She clips.

"What?" 

"You heard me, you've been gone too long and you can't leave again" 

"He's waiting on me!" I yell.

"I don't care" She yells back "Now meet me downstairs in twenty minutes for dinner" She demands, walking away from me. I watch as she walks towards the bathroom and I start counting the seconds in my head, knowing I have about three minutes. 

Unpacking my stuff, and throwing random clothes into my suitcase I run down the steps, and out to Austin's car, getting into the passenger seat. 

"Hurry! Go!" I yell and he looks at me in confusion "I'll explain later, just drive" I demand, watching my front door open but before my mom can step out we're already down the street.
