18. REAL LIFE

*Madi*

It's been around two weeks since Austin and I had started talking, and there's already rumours going around that the two of us are dating.

"Listen to this one; 'Austin Mahone and new girlfriend go on dates by FaceTiming?'...what?!" I exclaimed, causing a laugh to come from my laptop.

"What kind of fuckery is that?" He yelled, the both of us laughing our butts off.

"This is some serious bullshit." I chuckled, locking my phone and tossing it onto the couch in front of me.

"They're just jealous." He mumbled, looking at me with his gorgeous, yet slightly pixelated eyes.

"Of what, the amount of time we talk to each other?" I asked, chuckling to myself.

"They're jealous that they'd never get to meet an amazing girl like you!" He told me, my cheeks turning a shade of red.

"I hate you so much..." I muttered, hiding my scarlett face in my hands.

"What?! It's true!" He exclaimed with a laugh. I shook my head at him. "Hey, uh, I'm coming to LA soon. Maybe we should meet up?"

"By soon, how soon do you think you'll be here?" I asked, getting a little bit excited.

"Uhhh...well I'm getting my flight there in like two hours so, uhh I'd say about 8 hours until I get to see you and your cute ass." He told me, shuffling around on his unmade bed.

"You don't even know what my ass looks like, Austin..." I laughed, watching him as a smile found it's way to his perfectly plump lips.

"I'm just assuming, dude, but still, I'm just happy I'll be able to see you for the first time." He said, rolling over once more so he was on his back, "and we can hang out for hours upon hours and then maybe we could spend the night together."

He winked at me, which made my stomach do flips.

"Do you have a ride from the airport?" I asked, changing the subject before I got anymore awkward.

"Oh, shit, no. I'll probably order an Uber or something." He told me, while rolling over again.

"I can go get you if you want..." I suggested.

"Two of my buds are coming with me though." He told me, checking a text message that had come through on his phone.

"That doesn't matter." I assured.

"Are you sure? I don't wanna put a load of pressure on you." He asked me.

"I'm sure, but listen, I gotta go and get Max, so I'll see you later okay?" I said, smiling slightly.

"Okay, Mads, I'll see you in eight hours." He grinned, before ending the call.

I didn't actually have to go get Max, I just had to run a few errands and make my apartment look a bit more presentable before Austin got here. I also had to have a shower because I looked like a little rag.

Suddenly, my phone started to ring, so I got up to find it. I found it buried under Buddy who was asleep again, and had to shimmy it out from under him.
