Surviving You

Chapter 19

" I honestly don't know what to do."

" Me neither."

Austin and I were laying in bed, staring at the ceiling.

" Want to go walk around?"

I shrugged.

" I guess."

" Ok. Let's get dressed."

Five minutes later we were still laying in bed staring at the ceiling.

" Alright for real. Let's go. I'm bored shitless."

Austin got up and I watched him walk to the closet, in his boxers.

I sighed and got up, following him, in a baggy tee. After getting dressed and me brushing through my curls, we walked out, making sure to lock the door.

" May."

" Yeah?"

" Nothing. I just like saying your name."

I rolled my eyes but smiled. We walked into a small little shop that had many items that varied from jewelry to odd instruments.

" Tell me if there's anything you like."

" I have my own money," I said, picking up a crystal turtle.

As I looked around the store I found a couple things I thought would look good in the apartment. Grabbing a basket I placed the crystal turtle and some other house accessories.

" Hey Austin. What do you think of-"

I stopped and stared in disbelief. A girl was pressed against him, her lips me really not even an inch from his. I remember her. The skank from when Austin picked me up late. I walked in the rain because I was so pissed.

" Ashley," I said.

She turned to me and Austin quickly pushed her away, not too forcefully though.

" May I swear-"

" It's exactly what it looked like. We were about to kiss," Ashley said with a nasty grin.

I shrugged.

" It's fine."

They both looked at me shocked. Well, Austin looked more cautious than anything.

" What you think of these pillows for the couch?" I asked, looking at Austin.

" May.."

" I'm going to buy them."

" Here's my card."

I kept walking to the register and after paying I left, taking Austin by his arm and Ashley following.

" He obviously wants me. That's why we had sex within the second week of you two dating!" she called out to me.

I stopped dead in my tracks. In two large strides I was face to face with her.

" You and who had sex together?"

She smirked, obviously enjoying herself.

" Austin and I of course."

I clenched my fist and took a step back, taking deep breaths and counting back from twenty.

" He's all yours," I said, walking past her and to Austin.

I handed him my bags that I had just purchased.

" Don't."

He quickly shut his mouth and I stared into his eyes.
