I fell asleep on the couch because I thought Austin would want his space.
When I woke up he was out back smoking sitting in the middle of the grass on a lawn chair.
I walked out there and sat next to him.
I pulled my cigarettes out and lit one and sighed.
He looked down at me.
"Why didn't you sleep in the bed?" He asked.
"I thought you needed space." I said picking at the grass.
"Look, next time just please hide it. Go where I won't see you." He said his voice getting shaky again.
"Austin-" I tried talking but he cut me off.
"Do you want me to buy you things? Tell me what you want and I'll get it for you. Is it me?" He started rambling and tears ran down his face.
"Austin! Stop! I don't want you to buy me anything. And no, of course it isn't you. The dude forced himself onto me and grabbed me really tight. I have bruises on my face and wrist to prove it." I said showing the side of my face and my wrist.
He stared at them and shook his head.
"That son of a bitch." He said and threw his cigarette on the ground and stood up.
"Where are you going?" I asked standing up and followed him inside.
"I'm going to go to that bastards house and teach him a lesson. Let him know not to fuck with things that are mine." He said and grabbed his keys.
"Austin stop!" I grabbed his hand and turned him around.
"Don't. It's not worth it. Adam already took care of it last night. Please just don't do anything stupid." I said.
He looked at me and pushed my hair out of my face.
"He hurt you though." He said.
"I'm fine now." I said and hugged him.
"I'm going to call my manager and tell him to fire his ass." He said and hugged me tightly.
"Can we get breakfast first? I'm hungry." I said looking up at him.
"Of course." He said smiling and leaned down and kissed me on the lips.
"Okay. I'm going to get ready first." I said smiling and ran upstairs to get ready.

"Hey, I want to take you on a date before all the concerts and shit come up." Austin said as we ate.
I smiled at him and nodded. "Okay. When exactly?"
"I was thinking, after we go to the beach today?" He said looking at and smiled.
"Oh my god I'm so excited!" I said trying to be quiet.
Austin smiled and grabbed my hand and kissed it.
I blushed and looked away.
"Come on lets get back to the house to get ready." Austin said standing up and held my hand.

"Ready to go to the beach Raven?" Austin asked grabbing his phone off the counter.
"Uh, can you come here please?" I asked nervously standing in front of the bathroom.
"Yeah?" He said standing outside the bathroom.
"Do I look okay? Does the bathing suit look okay on my?" I asked starting to shake.
I was wearing a two piece black bathing suit.
He sighed and walked behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and looked in the mirror.
"You are absolutely stunning, darling." He said and kissed my cheek.
I blushed and turned around and hugged him.
"Let me put some shorts and a shirt on then I'll be ready." I said.
"Okay I'll be downstairs." He said and kissed me and left.
———
"Okay we're here." Austin and unbuckling and grabbed everything and got out of the car.
I got out and walked over by Austin and wrapped my arms around his arm.
We found a whole area where no one was and set our towels and blanket down on the sand.
"Posty!" We heard someone yell and looked around.
And there was a few people running our way.
"I'm sorry Raven." Austin said and walked towards them.
Like always, he took pictures and made small talk.
As I watched I realized how much he really loves them and it makes me happy.
He's such a good man.
"Alright guys, I'm having some private time with my girl right now." He said and waved bye to them.
"Okay. Ready to get in the water?" Austin said smiling.
"Yes!" I said excitedly.
We ran to the water and the water was splashing everywhere and in our faces and Austin tripped and fell all the way into the water.
I started laughing so hard my stomach cramped up and I didn't see Austin under the water and grab my legs and pull them making me fall into the water.
"Oh my god!" I screamed and stood up quickly and started laughing.
Austin laughed at me and came closer to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and stared into my eyes.
I wrapped my arms around him too and smiled up at him.
He leaned down and softly kissed my lips.
We smiled into the kiss and started laughing.
I pulled away and went a little deeper into the water and laid on my back and closed my eyes.
"Why are you so beautiful?" Austin said.
I stood up right and smiled at him.
"Shut up." I blushed.
———
Austin was sat on the blanket and I was on the shore line and getting my feet wet and taking in the sun.
"Raven!" I heard Austin call my name so I turned around and seen he was holding up his phone.
"No!" I laughed and lifted my hand up.
"Goddamn baby! You're so stunning." He said looking at his phone.
"How many times are you going to say that?" I asked smiling towards him.
"As many times as it takes to make you believe how beautiful you are." He said smiling at me.
I smiled and sat down next to him.
"We're going to have to take a shower and go buy you a dress." Austin said.
"I don't want you to spend too much money on me." I said looking at him.
"Why not?" He said smiling at me.
"I don't deserve it." I said shrugging.
"Raven, you deserve everything. Don't you ever say you don't deserve it again, you deserve the whole fucking world. Please, don't say that again." Austin said caressing my face.
I sighed and smiled up at him and kissed him.
