32. REAL LIFE

*madi*

miami was a beautiful place, but i missed everyone back in la so much. a while had passed, and the wedding was now rapidly approaching.

we had picked austin's suit out, a sexy armani one that hugged him like a dream.

all we needed was the tie, but we couldn't get that until i picked my dress out, but that was what we were having the most trouble with.

i had picked the type, a long and sleek dress, that was similar to a prom dress, i just didn't know what colour to pick.

i was leaning towards maroon, but i felt like that was too basic for a wedding, so then i started to like baby pink, and then i remembered that was the colour of the bridesmaids dresses. i hadn't a fucking clue what i was gonna do. the last wedding i had been to was at least 8 or 9 years ago.

austin suggested we try look on line, mainly because delivery wouldn't take that long. i decided that would be my plan b, because there was a store i wanted to visit before i gave up completely.

we were actually supposed to be on our way there, but austin managed to persuade me into staying with him in bed.

"austin, come on, we gotta go." i said, finally prying myself from his arms and walking towards the wardrobe.

"i don't wanna go." he complained, rolling over to look at me.

"i don't care, we have all the time in the world to stay in bed and cuddle, but i need to find a dress for this goddamn wedding." i turned back to face him. his curls were sticking up in every which way, and his tan stood out amazingly in the sun shining through the balcony door.

"you could go naked?"

"oh gladly. please get up, i need you to drive me." i pleaded, approaching him and trying to drag him out of the bed by his hands.

i let go, watching him as he huffed and sat up. "fine."

i grinned and turned back to the wardrobe to look for something to wear. i rifled through my t-shirt's, not able to decide on two of them, before i felt a pair of lips on my neck, and two arms wrap around my waist.

"austin..." i complained, picking a lime green t-shirt from the wardrobe, and trying to turn around. he wouldn't let go, and chuckled into my ear, making me sigh. "what now?"

"you look so sexy right now..." we whispered, nibbling on my ear.

"you know where else i'd look sexy? in the dress store. c'mon, get dressed." i said, wriggling out of his strong embrace.

"why can't we just go another day?" he asked, following me to the chest of drawers he had in the corner of his room.

"you know how much i like to procrastinate aussi, if i
don't do it now, i'll leave it till last minute, and you won't get your little tie." i told him, pulling the t-shirt over my head. i turned so my back was facing him, and pulled a pair of jeans out from the drawer, pulling them on as well.

"i don't care, i don't wanna go stupid dress shopping with you." he complained, huffing at me like a 5 year old.

"austin please, at least just for an hour. i know what i want anyway so we'll be quick i promise." i told him, picking him out a shirt and some shorts. "now please go put these on so we can get it over and done with."

he huffed again, and took the clothes from me, getting changed in a bad mood. meanwhile, i focused on getting my shoes on and brushing my teeth and hair.

austin came into the bathroom a few minutes later to brush his teeth, this time fully dressed. he had been wandering around in nothing but his boxers on for 10 minutes trying to find his chain, and a pair of socks to match his outfit.
