"We're home!" Austin yells.

I laugh and slap his arm. "Austin, it's like, twelve o'clock! She is asleep."

He giggles. "Oh, right."

I laugh and rummage through his cabinets.

"What are you looking for?" He asks.

I smile and pull out a box of mix. "We're making brownies!"

He laughs and grabs the eggs and butter. "Only we would make brownies at midnight."

"'Cause we're strange!" I giggle and grab a mixing bowl.

"Hey, I have a text from my mom. She's out with friends and will probably stay at a motel." He grins.

"Only your mom still has sleepovers." I laugh.

"Now we can have some tuuunes!" He yells and turns on the radio.

I Like It Like That by Hot Chelle Rae comes on and I smile.

"Missed my ride home! Lost my iPhone! I wouldn't have it any other way! If you're with me let me hear you say!" I sing along and Austin smiles. 

"I LIKE IT LIKE THAT! HEY! WINDOWS DOWN!" I scream and laugh.

"Chillin' with the radio on! I like it like that! Damn sun's so hot! Makes the girls take it all off!" Austin laughs at me again.

"Can we actually make brownies now?" He smiles and waves a wooden spoon around.

I nod. "Why, certainly!"

We both laugh and I open the brownie mix.

"Kay? Can I ask you something?" He looks at me, suddenly serious.

"Sure. Anything." I smile and pour the mix into the bowl.

"Well, me uh..kissing you didn't cause you guys to break up did it?" He gulps.

I shake my head. "No, Louis being a jerk caused us to break up."

He sighs in relief. "Good. 'Cause I'd hate if it was because of me."

I smile. "Actually, I want to thank you for being here for me."

He grins. "I'll always be here for you."

He hugs me and I smile.

"Well! Brownie time!" He smiles and cracks an egg into the bowl.

I laugh and help him.

It takes us about fifteen minutes to finish the batter and Austin insists that he gets some.

"No." I say sternly.

"Please? Pleeeaaassseee?" He gives me puppy dog eyes.

I sigh and smile. "Fine, you can lick the spoon!"

He smiles and takes it. "Oh sweet chocolate heaven."

I laugh and roll my eyes.

"Want some?" He asks, smiling with chocolate on his face.

"Good lord! Did you get any in your mouth?" I smile and grab a wash cloth. "Come here so I can clean you up."

He laughs and walks over to me. I wipe most of the chocolate off of his face and smile. "You're like a little kid."

"I'm an adorable little kid!" He laughs.

"Oh, very." I smile and wipe the rest off.

"Tonight was fun. It still is!" He smiles at me.

I giggle and realize that it really was fun. It helped me get my mind off of Louis and it was just..fun. Except for the whole screaming-and-fighting-with-who-is-now-my-ex-boyfriend part that is.

"Kay, I want you to know that Louis is extremely stupid for letting you go. Not trying to stop you. If I was ever in his shoes I would never even think of being a jerk to you. Ever." He looks into my eyes.

I just state at him, unaware of what he really just said.

"You're a really great girl, Kay. I think any guy would be lucky to have you. Sure some are jerks but maybe there's someone out there that isn't one." He adds.

"Austin, that's so sweet." I choke out.

"I like you. A lot." He looks into my eyes again.

Thoughts swirl through my head so fast that I can't even make out one of them. What did he just say?? He likes me?? I don't like him. Do I?? Oh god! He is really cute.. Stop that!! What?? I'm not with Louis anymore..so if I kissed him I wouldn't get in trouble! Noo! Yes!! Ugh!!

Before I know what's going on Austin was kissing me and..I was kissing back.
