I wake up with Austin's arms wrapped around me. I turned my head looking at Austin sleeping, a smile attaching to my face right away. His hair is pushed back from the pillow allowing me to study his tattoos on his face. I study his face all the way from the top of his head down to his short beard. I sigh knowing that I am fully awake so might as-well get us food, I slowly attempt to get up without waking Austin. But somehow Austin who's still asleep pulls me in tighter. I smile wider and just close my eyes allowing myself to fall asleep again.

I wake up once again but with no arms wrapped around me. I sit up on the bed rubbing my eyes then looking around for Austin. Then I hear the shower turn on, I lay back in bed since my clothes are in the bathroom he's showering in there's nothing I can do. I grab the TV remote off of the bed side table and begin flicking through channels until something caught my eye.

"Post Malone spotted with a girl in NYC" the woman on the screen says then it cuts away to a picture of Austin and me leaving Sardi's.

"Oh no" I say to myself. I focus on the photo studying it. The photo was blurry, I could tell it was taken from a phone by the quality. My back was facing the camera and Austin was facing me. You couldn't tell it was me at all which I was grateful for. I didn't want people trying to find out who I was and then blowing up my social media accounts. 

I sit up, speed walk over to the room I woke up in grabbing my clutch from the small table and take out my phone. It was going to die soon but I quickly surf the internet looking if there are any other photos of me and Austin. The only one I could find was the one they showed on TV. I sigh in relief, grabbing my vest and shoes moving them to the other bedroom that me and Austin slept in together. I open the door to see Austin in his jeans but no shirt because I was wearing it.

"What's wrong?" Austin asks noticing my stressed expression.

"Someone took a picture of us leaving Sardi's and I was checking to see if they got anymore photos of us but they only got this one" I say unlocking my phone and showing the photo to him.

"Oh well, who cares" Austin shrugs his shoulders. I half smile at him nodding. Then resting my vest, clutch and shoes on the bed.

"I'm gonna change so I can give you your shirt back." I say walking into the bathroom and shutting the door.

I wash my face and using the toothbrush  and toothpaste that the hotel supplied, to brush my teeth. I take my hair out of the ponytail letting my hair fall. I change into the outfit I was wearing last night. I check myself out in the mirror before opening the door and leave the bathroom. I hand Austin his shirt and he pulls it on.

"Wanna go to dunkin'?" Austin asks

"Yes please" I say smiling. He gives me a quick kiss, then goes on his phone to order us an Uber. I pull on my vest and shoes then grab my purse.

"Let's go" Austin says as he finishes lacing up his shoes. He grabs my hand and we walk out of the hotel room going into the elevator going down 24 floors and leaving the hotel, going into the Uber waiting for us out front.

We reach Dunkin' Donuts we both get iced coffee and food then sit and eat.

"Hi uh Post Malone sorry I don't know your real name but I was wondering if I could get a photo with you?" A boy that looked about 16 asked.
