"Better an oops than a what if."

Kellie Bowman P.O.V.

I hear the engine go off when I flick open my eyes.

"We're here?" I ask, turning to look at Austin but he's nowhere in sight.

If he leaves me in here to die, oh I will come back from the death.

CLICK

The door I'm leaning against, comes open. I flinch but I don't fall because of the seatbelt.

"Sorry, princess." Austin mumbles as I unbuckle myself and hoop off beside me.

"Next time, please give me a heads up." I look around me, at a story house- It's cute.

"You live here alone?" I ask him as he closes the door.

"With my four other band mates."

"Band mates? You never told me about being in a band."

"I didn't want to tell you yet, you could have used me."

"You're big then?"
"Not technically, we sing in love tv and we got signed by Simon-"

"Who's Simon?"
"The one that signed one direction."

"Wow, that's big. Congrats on living the Hollywood dream."

"But we should head inside, I'm freezing." I add, I already got goosebumpswhich I call chicken skin.

Austin leads me up to the front door, as if nothing happened, not even the date.

Like if I'm just another friend.... Yikes, am I going to be friend zoned again?

He uses his key to open the front door, and it's all quite.

"Uhh, I thought you had roommates." I poin out, it's way too quite. Way too quite.

"They probably went out." Austin seems to doubt his answer but I don't dig deeper.

"Water or?" Austin adds.

"Just water." Austin goes into the kitchen and I follow.

He grabs a cup, filling it up with water and ice.

"Thank you very very much." I thank him once he hands me the cup and I drink from it in a normal phase.

I finish my cup, putting it in the sink to see Austin texting away on his phone.

"Done?" He wonders, finally looking up, probably heard my footsteps.

"Yeah." I put my hands inside my back jean pockets.

"Come on." This time he grabs my hand, lacing his fingers with mine.

I give it a squeeze as I follow him out of the kitchen and down the hall.

"Why do I feel like they're going to come out from behind a wall?" I think out loud, if they scare me...

"They won't." Austin assures me as we finally reach his room, it's a little bit messy but it looks like he tried to clean it up.

I walk further in, going to bed across the room, pushed against the wall. Half of it is made but not the other half.

I give him points for at least trying.

I look around the walls, seeing posters up as I sit down in the edge of the bed.

"I tried to clean it up." He rubs the back of his neck nervously, I stand up, walking over to him.

"Austin, you don't need to be shy about this. You tried and that's all that matters, I'n just happy you put in an effort to everything tonight. Believe, this has been one of the best dates ever." I assure him, taking his arm away from his neck.

"Okay? You're amazing." I get in my tip toes, reaching up and pecking his lips.

BAAM

"What was that?" I ask him, slightly jumping at the sound.

Austin walks out as if nothing.

"Did you seriously did that? Dude, there could be a killer or just something out there... Austin, I'm serious. Where the hell did you go?" I say the first two sentences when he walks out of the room but I give in and walk to the empty halls, looking around for a sight of him.

"Austin?!" I look at the door to see four guys come in, one after the other.

"Uhh, hi?" I wave at them awkwardly.

"Lucy, right? I can't remember you that much from when you came yesterday with Austin." Wait- is this guy serious?

"He's joking, Kellie." A dark skin guy assures me.

"I hope. I'm Kellie- But y'all already know that." I introduce myself.

"I'm Zion, that's Edwin, Brandon, and Nick." The dark skin introduces himself and Austin other band mates.

"Pleasure to meet y'all."

"Austin has said s-" Brandon is cut off when Austin walks back from the kitchen.

"A plate broke." I see Austin giving Brandon a look, huh- I know exactly what's going on, Austin talked about me and Brandon was going to confess for him but he came for the safe.

"What are you studying?" Edwin wonders.

"Event planner but I focus more on weddings."

"And I love to cook." I add.

"You got a keeper there, Austin." Zion pats Austin in the back with a laugh.

The boys start minding their own business but their joking around as doing so which is quite funny. We all decided on sitting in the couch, but of course Austin and I get the stretch part of the couch, after all we're cuddling.

"ADD ME ON THE SNAP KELLIEEE!!!!" Zion yells from right beside me, which makes me cringe.

"Its Chiecken_04." I confess shily, its my snapchat that I created back when I was about to become a high schooler and unfortunately got dared to do a weird name.

"Checken_04?" Edwin starts laughing from the other end of the couch.

"I don't like y'all." I groan, turning my back to the boys and my face to Austin's chest.

"Chicken_04 look this way!" In the corner of my eye I see a flashing light.

They're recording for snapchat.

"Guys, leave her alone." Austin finally cones to the help.

"Wait. Wait. What? Is he protecting her instead of us? This is new!" One of the boys exclaim as their phond flashlights start turning off.

So they finished recording?

"Don't worry, princess. They're minding their own buissness now." Austin whispers, yikes.

Please, someone do explain why I just got shiver?

"Mhh... I don't trust them." I raise up my head from his chest, making eye contact with him.

"What about me?"
"Very very little, like smaller than this." I do the same movement I did when I meet him.

He gives me a laugh, a cute one. Just like the first night I meet him.

I lean a little bit up, pecking his lips before laying as I was before.

"You can't kep stealing kisses." Austin groans.

"Why not?"

"I can't think straight after."
