Oh.
My.
God.
This.
Is.
Literally.
The.
Best.
Gift.
I’ve.
Ever.
Gotten.
Laying inside of the small box was a white gold charm bracelet enhanced with a billion tiny little diamonds.
“AUSTIN!! THIS IS THE CUTEST THING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! I COULD KISS YOU RIGHT NOW!” I squealed happily, jumping up and down.
“You could kiss me huh?” Austin smirks.
I blush furiously. Oh shit.
I didn’t realize what I said..
“Um.. It’s just an expression.” I mumbled, biting my lower lip.
I stared at his lips.
Wow.
They look so soft and kissable.
I really would kiss him.
Oh my god.
“Look, the charms are of all my favorite memories with you. And at the end of my trip, I’ll take you to the store and we can pick out more charms together.” he smiles sweetly, taking the charm bracelet in his hands.
“Heres a palm tree. Because we spent so much time at the beach houses together. Mostly you trying to tan even though you can’t. Here’s a sand castle, from the time we had our sand castle building competition and I wrecked you and here’s-“
“WAIT A SECOND! I WRECKED YOU! Your sand castle was a mound of sand with a sea shell sticking out of it” I interrupted him giggling. “You’re awful!”
“Ok ok if that’s what you want to believe Blair. Anyways as I was saying before someone rudely interrupted me” he pauses and stares intently at me with those big hazel eyes. “Here’s a castle, this is for the time we went to Disney World together, Princess Blair. Here’s a roller coaster, for the first upside down roller coaster you’ve ever went on. It was the Hulk, at Universal Studios. And finally, here’s a heart. Because I love you more than anyone in the whole world Blair. You’re my best friend” he finishes slowly, gazing up at me.
I was speechless.
This is seriously the nicest thing he has ever done for me.
Tears started to well up in my eyes.
“AUSTIN! You are the sweetest guy I have ever met! I’m so lucky you’re my best friend! I love you too!” I throw my arms around him and hug him tightly.
Mmm he smells yummy. He smells like my Austin.
Holy crap.
What is my problem?
He's not MY Austin.
Maybe I want him to be...
Crap.
“So what do you wanna do while we wait for the boys?” I ask him.
“Uhh actually I don’t wanna go to the mall anymore. Lets just sit here and catch up, I haven’t seen you in forever.” he says whipping out his phone again to text them that he'll see them later tonight.
“Oh okay. Actually, theres something I’ve been wanting to talk to you about...” I start off casually.
“What is it?” he asked, sounding concerned “you never use that tone unless you need to tell me something really important...”
“Welllllllll.. I had to fight Alex to tell you this but.. My aunt’s marrying his dad.. So we’re cousins now!” I said slowly, blinking at him.
He blinked back blankly. “What? Me and you?”
“What??? No! Me and Alex!” I laugh.
He cocks his head to one side, shocked. He’s speechless for a minute, then replies “No way... That’s so cool though! You and AC have always been pretty close. He treats you like his little sister”
“Yeah, I’m glad I have Alex. That’s how I met you. And now I couldn’t imagine my life without you in it” I say, blushing.
He stares at me blankly.
I wonder what he’s thinking....
Oh god.
What did I do? Did I say something wrong..? Oh no. He thinks I like him and he doesn't feel the same way about me..
Dammit Blair.
"Yeah! I'm glad I have you too Blair. You're such a great friend" he recovers, pulling me in for another hug.
Friend...
He said friend on purpose. He's trying to tell me he's uninterested.
My heart sinks.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asks, worried. "Why so sad? Don't want AC as a relative? Don't worry I wouldn't either." He jokes.
I smile weakly at him. "Yeah right. You know you love him. Y'all even have a cute couples name" I tease.
"We do?" he pretends to be surprised.
"Auuuuuuuuussssssssssllllllllllleeeeeeex" I laugh.
"Yeah."' he says quietly, staring passively at the wall.
Did something happen between them..?
I sit, pretending to stare at my nails as he sits there staring at the wall with a pained look in his eyes.
What happened between them..?
