You're Not Alone (Austin Carlile)

5. Long October

Title credit: Handguns

We walk up the steps into the bus and Austin kicks off his vans and pushes them underneath then table, I do the same.

"Movie?" He asks as I pull my hair into a messy bun.

"Should that even be a question?" He laughs and walks to the back lounge and I take the opportunity to take off my bra, it is killing me. Thank god for being a girl. I learned ways to take it off without taking the crew neck off. I put it in my bag and walk into the bathroom. I walk out of the bathroom to see Austin with a movie in hand; Grown Ups 2.

"Omfg that's the best movie ever!" I exclaim plopping down beside him.

"Right?" He says with a smile. He gets up and puts the movie in then lays down. He looks at me and directs his eyes softly to in front of him. I smile and shyly lay down in front of him. He places a fuzzy blanket over us and I snuggle into him. At the very beginning I was already laughing like a hyena about the deer in the house which makes Austin laugh. Austin places one of his long skinny legs over my stubby short ones.

"What are you doing goof ball?" I say with a smile.

"I dunnoo." I could tell he was grinning. I legit just met Austin today and still barely know him and we are already so comfortable with each other like we've known each other forever. It's so weird but yet, it feels so right, like I belong here with him.

"Take a picture with me!" I say more as a demand then a question. I pull out my phone and Austin rests his chin on my neck and I take the picture. When I look at it I see that we both made silly faces. Great minds think alike right?

"Now one for me!" He says handing me his phone. I pull up the camera and Austin kisses my cheek. I scrunch up my face and take the picture.

"So posting this on Instagram." He says looking at the picture.

"What! No! Then I'm posting this one!" I exclaim opening Instagram in a hurry. I post the picture and caption it.

'@austincarlile you're a dork, a cute one though' "I'm so ready for the hate and I don't even care." I say laughing. I remember being on their end, jealous and in love with a person I don't even know. It was quite silly actually, we let jealously get the best of us.

"If they were true fans of the band they would respect me and you." That's true. I refresh my page to see Austin's picture.

@austincarilie: '@hollymarie is a cutie for sure.' 'You know it' I comment on his picture. This girl tags me and Austin in her comment. 'You better not hurt Austin'. I put my phone down and so does Austin. He puts his hand on my love handle and starts to run his long fingers over my exposed skin, giving me goose bumps. We continue to watch the movie and laugh like little kids until Austin tightens his grip on my love handles.

"Austin. Oh god no, don't even." I start to panic.

"Don't what?"He says before climbing on top of me and pinning me down by sitting on my waist.

"Let's see if your ticklish." He says with a devilish smirk and starts to tickle me. I shriek and squirm underneath him laughing uncontrollably.

"Aus-stiin. St-too-p!"I manage to laugh out but he doesn't. "I'm gunna pee my pants!" I yell out and he hops off me. "Ha! gotcha!" I stick my tongue out and grab my phone and run to the front lounge, he is hot on my tail. He sits on top of me and I chuckle, putting my arms around him.

"Shouldn't this be the other way around?" Austin asks and I lay my head on his back.

"Nah." I say smiling. Austin gets off me and holds his hand out to me and we go back and finish our movie. I was laying there half asleep as the credits rolled.

"Come sleep with me in my bunk." Austin says out of nowhere. I nod my head, half asleep, in agreement and wrap the blanket around me then finally getting up and walk to his bunk. I hand Austin my bag and he moves it, as he places it somewhere else I crawl into his bunk and sprawl myself out.

"What are you doing? This is my bunk." I say with a dead serious voice. Even though all I could think about were funny Shrek vines.

"I see how it is." He says with a grin. He starts tickling me again and I move over to make room for him. I plug our phones into the outlet and get comfy while he closes the curtain. "Sleepy?" He says putting his arms around me.

"Mhm." I say flipping over to face him. I feel so safe. It's super weird, but I like not normal things. Like most people say 'you have to know each other longer before you date', but I feel like that takes the fun out if it. You already know stuff about them and they know stuff about you.

"Okay just get some sleep." I untangle myself from the blanket and place it over our bodies. Austin had to help me because I was wrapped in it like a cocoon. We finally get the blanket over us and I nuzzle into Austin's chest and he wraps his arms around me. I feel a sense of comfort and protection in his arms.

"Goodnight Austin." He kisses my forehead.

"Goodnight Holly." I can't believe that today I came to the venue a single woman, now I'm dating Austin Carlile, a famous rockstar and now I'm snuggled up to him wrapped in his arms. This is all I could have ever wanted.
