(: Alexis POV :)
I sit in the car, blushing at the thought of us almost kissing. I know I shouldn't like him because I've only just met him. I think we were just caught up in the moment and I bet to him it was a mistake. If I did like him, it would be one-sided. I doubt he could ever like me.
I tell him the directions and we reach my house shortly. We both get out of the car. Austin looks at my house, clearly astonished at the size.
"I never knew you were this rich." He mumbles.
"Oh... well this is my stepmother's house and uh... I've lived here for a while now."I say uncomfortably.
It suddenly starts raining hardly.
"Would you like to come in"I ask.
"I don't want to intrude or anything."he says nervously.
"It's all good. My dad doesn't care. He probably won't even notice I'm here." I exclaim frowning.
"Are you sure?"he asks calmly.
"Yes! Please come in. I have nothing to do right now and I can use the company." I say excitedly.
"I don't know, princess. I don't really belong in rich places. You know I'm poor." He nervously states bluntly.
"C'mon we are just gonna hang out. If my dad asks just tell him the truth. I know he doesn't mind. Just don't talk to my stepmother. She can be sweet but when it comes to non-high class people, she's an absolute ass." I tell him seriously.
"Alrighty then." He says timidly.
I unlock the door and walk in dragging Austin along with me.
"I'm home." I yell, knowing that they aren't really listening. To my surprise, I get I hear my dad yell a 'hey' from the other room.
"Um dad I have my friend over. Do you mind?" I ask while walking into the kitchen where my dad currently is.
"Who is this friend of yours?" He questions.
"Oh, he's just my chemistry lab partner that helped me get to the hospital. He dropped me off and it started raining hard so I invited him in." I mumble awkwardly.
I hear my dad's phone ring and he picks it up before saying,"Okay then go ahead."
I frown slightly, before remembering I left Austin at the door. I rush over to the door and see him sitting on the ground, petting our miniature poodle, Pier.
The scene before me is so adorable. Who would've thought, the big bad Austin has a soft spot for animals.
I clear my throat, getting his attention.
"Oh hey." He says smiling one of his dazzling smiles.
"Hello! Follow me." I say flashing a smile right back. (Obviously a fake one.)
"Okay." He responds hesitantly before following me to my room.
