15. REAL LIFE

*guys I just want to say, if you've read anything about a dad in any of the previous chapters, I changed it to her [Madi] not having one, so yeah, sorry if there is any confusion in this chapter :) xx

*Madi*

I was sitting on my couch with my tongue between my teeth. Teen Wolf was playing in the background, the show I've begun to rewatch for the 3rd time.

I had been talking to that Austin Mahone guy for a good hour. I felt like I've known him forever, even though we've only spoken once. He told me he wanted to come to LA soon, and that we could possibly hang out.

I chuckled at Stiles Stilinski yelling something on the TV, reading back over the messages Austin sent me. I couldn't stop smiling.

He thinks I'm really pretty, and to be fair, he is quite hot too. The only thing is, if something ever does happen between us, how would Kj feel? I've been told a good few times, not just by him, that he really really likes me.

My heart fluttered when I got a notification from Austin. I opened up his DM, and quickly read it.

Mads, you should call me
***-***-****

He gave me his fucking number. Jesus Christ, I'm going to die. I replied with a quick 'I'd love to' and saved his number as a contact.

He told me to ring him, so I did, after hesitating for a good 5 minutes. I didn't want to be too loud because Max was in bed, but I couldn't just reject Austin like that.

"Hey..." he mumbled after he picked up, "this is madison, right?"

He had the most sexy voice. Nice and deep but not too deep. Just right. "Uh, yeah...how are you?"

I could not stop smiling. I couldn't stop. I already wanted him, but I didn't want to come on to him as clingy.

"I'm good, how are you?" He replied. He gave me butterflies oh my gosh.

"I'm great. What time is it over there? You seem tired." I said, standing up and walking towards the kitchen.

"It's uh," he paused for a second, "it is currently 3 am."

"Jesus, Austin, you should be asleep, not on the phone to me..." I chuckled.

"I'd rather stay up so I can talk to you, and besides, I could say the same to you! It's obviously late in LA, huh?" He mused, making me blush.

"It's 12 am here, but I guess I'm used to it, you know I've like so much Teen Wolf to catch up on..." I joked, "nah, I would've been in bed right now if it wasn't for you."

He laughed. "Well, I hope you're not tired cause we could be here for a while."

I chuckled with him.

"Well, tell me about yourself. It's only fair cause I gave you some of my random facts." He continued, making me sigh.

"Austin, I'm not good at this stuff." I was pacing around the island now, dragging my water bottle around the counter top, with my huge grin still on my face.

"C'mon, Mads, it's only fair!" He told me.

"Ugh fine. Well, uh, I'm 19...I'm originally from Chicago, but my family moved here to LA when I was 12 cause my mama's job got relocated. Uh...I have an annoying ass little brother called Max, who is currently asleep, and a little golden retriever puppy called buddy, who is also a pain in the ass." I started, finding this easier than I anticipated, "I worked in Vancouver for less than a year as an intern for the directors and producers of Riverdale, um...and I don't have a dad..?"
