If Only I Could

Living the dream

It was 6am next morning when Kelly woke up, showered got dressed, packed her few things away. By now it was 7 am so she text Austin and said "I know u are probably still asleep, but I am going down for breakfast as I am starving."
To her surprise he answered " Babe I am awake, give me five minutes to get dressed and I will come with you."
Kelly went and waited outside her room and true to his word Austin arrived five minutes later. He gave a quick hug and then took her hand as they went down to breakfast. He said " I have been awake for about two hours, I couldn't sleep knowing you were in the next room."
" You should of text me we I was awake early too. I think it was waiting for another text from you."
They arrived at breakfast to find they were the only ones there. They were given a table away from the door. It was a buffet style breakfast so Austin being the gentleman he is got Kelly some breakfast, while she got coffee and juice. Once both were seated they started eating, during which Kelly said "What exactly is going to happen during the next few days while you have time off then."
"Well we can finally spend some time together, getting to know each other, that's if you want to, that is"
"Babe are you kidding me of course I want to, I mean who wouldn't want to know the real you."
Austin was just about to answer when this voice bellowed across the dining room. "Hey Austin you could of woke me up."
Kelly looked up it was Nate and Drew. Kelly said "Bloody hell Drew you are up early"
"Good morning to you too Kelly."
Nate and Drew joined Kelly and Austin. Nate said "What time have we got to leave by."
Austin said "About 11 I think, why?"
"I haven't packed anything yet as you know."
Kelly said " I have done all mine would you guys like my help, because I know what you guys will be like mixing up all the dirty and clean clothes up."

Half an hour later Kelly was walking into Austin and Nate's room, she stopped and said "OMG has a bomb gone off in here. How on earth do you find anything."
They just looked at her and then she said "Right both of you put your cases on your beds, then find the clothes that are dirty and keep them separate from the clean ones."
It was quite funny because they were going round like headless chickens. Kelly told both boys to put dirty underwear on the bottom first. It took them half an hour just to put the dirty washing in. Kelly said "Right your cases are good because they have a divider so you can put the clean clothes in the other side."
They just happily went along with folding their clothes and putting them away. When they had finished Austin sat next to Kelly, put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her towards him, she just kissed his cheek, which made Austin turn and kiss her properly, making them fall back into the bed, which for Kelly was a little embarrassing because Nate was still in the room.
Nate went and made sure Drew and Levi had put their things away, leaving Kelly and Austin alone. Still lying on the bed, Austin turned onto his side and just looked at Kelly and said "I am sorry if I embarrassed you doing that. It just seemed so right at the time."
"I didn't mind."
He just leant forward and began to kiss her again.
Two hours later everyone was on the tour bus and on the way down to London. All the boys sat around with Catherine, Millie and Shannon there too. Kelly meanwhile was sitting on one of the bunks, just thinking about how things have changed over the last few weeks. Drew went to the toilet and saw that Kelly was sitting on her own, so after he had been, washed his hands, he sat with Kelly and said " Hey what are you doing sitting go on your own here?"
"Drew I don't think I can do this, Austin can do so much better than me. I think when we get to London I am going to get the train back home, the others can do what they like, but I am going home."
"Why do you feel like that?"
"Because I know Austin can do some much better. I know he says he wants to get to know me but why would he do that when he can have his pick of any of the girls that throw themselves at him every night."
"Kelly he does care about you and yes you are right he could have his pick of girls but he chose you."
"Drew, I can't help how I feel can I."
"I am going to tell Austin,he thinks he has done something wrong,because you are sitting here and not with him."
Drew could see tears in Kelly's eyes and he realised how much that Kelly does care for Austin, he put his arm round her shoulder, it was then the tears began to flow.
Austin had just got to the bunks as Drew had his arm round Kelly, so Drew got up and made Austin take his place. Drew said "Austin just be there for her and listen when she is ready to talk to you, all her feelings are playing with her mind today."
"Thanks Drew"
"If she doesn't talk just hold her, be there for her."
Drew left them alone. Austin just wrapped his arms tightly around her and said "Come on let's lie on the bunk so I can hold you closer."
Kelly just turned round slightly and put her arms around his waist. He just lay down holding her, he even pulled the curtain thing across so they could be on their own.
Kelly just kept sobbing.
Millie sat talking to Nate, Levi, Shannon,Catherine and Drew. Levi said "Is everything ok?"
Drew just nodded he didn't want to say anything because that was not for him to say.
A few minutes later Austin said "Kelly are you okay."
She didn't answer him because when he looked she had fallen asleep up him, which he didn't mind as he was close to the girl he really cared for.
When they arrived in London everyone got off the bus except for Kelly and Austin. He really didn't want to disturb her. Davey told Austin the bus was staying at the hotel anyway so just get off when you are ready. It wasn't long after that, that Kelly woke up.  She said "I am sorry for being like that."
" Hey it's okay, we will talk inside the hotel."
Kelly just sat up for a few minutes, then Austin took her  into the hotel and up to his room that he shared with Nate. In the room Kelly used the bathroom first while Austin went and started talking to Nate. Nate said "Is everything okay, Austin, because Kelly looked so upset earlier?"
"Bro it's great, I am so going to look after her this next couple of days. Anyway what about you and Millie, how's that going."
"It's going ok, I just wish the other girls weren't here because they keep interrupting us."
"Have a word with Millie about them."
Kelly came out the bathroom and said "Hi Nate, how are u?"
Before Nate could say anything Austin said " He is fed up with the other two girls. They keep interrupting him when he wants to get to know Millie."
"Just tell them because I would, they get on my nerves sometimes."
"I might just do that, although Shannon is not to bad it's that Catherine I don't like her. Anyway I am going to find Millie , I will see you two later."
He left and Austin said "Are you going to talk to me now about how you feel."
"Austin I don't know whether I can because you will laugh at me and I don't want you to do that to me."
"Why would I do that, I don't laugh at anybody because I am not that sort of person, you should know that. Now come on tell me how you are feeling and why you were so upset earlier."
"I was being silly, like I told Drew I know you can do so much better than me, you have the choice of all those girls. I even told Drew I was going to get the train straight back home because I didn't think I could do this, if I am honest I still can't."
Austin sat by her and said " Please don't talk like that, I want to get to know you. The next couple of days will be our getting to know you properly days. I can understand how you feel but please let me show you I care. Now come here and give me a hug."
Kelly went over to Austin put her arms round him and he held her so tight.
