Mavery

Thirteen

The drive was very silent. I didn't even glance at Austin for once. Matt periodically checked on us, giving Austin a look i didn't know why. The moment we arrived home, i went out and didn't wait for Austin or Kyle to open the door for me. I heard Austin's heavy steps jogging to me.

He opened the door and i went straightly upstairs to the bathroom to wash all the stress and negativity of today. I sank on the tub and made a long deep sigh. I just thought that i overreacted about everything. Of course, this was normal but Austin didn't deserve to be treated that way. He was exhausted as hell but here i am making things harder and crazier for him.

I just don't know why they were all like that. Maybe i just need to adjust with everything just like how Austin adjusted for me. I felt so stupid for saying harsh words to him.

I drained the tub and dressed up. Conceptualizing what i should say to him. I was standing by the bathroom door waiting for myself to get ready on taking back what i just said to him. I was so stupid. I was able to open the door but i heard a knock. I slowly gripped the knob and opened it. Revealing Austin leaning on the side wall.

"Mavery, i-" i cutt him off. I won't let him say sorry for what i did wrong. "I'm sorry..." i whispered starting to cry. "Hey c'mere," he pulled me closer to him and kissed my head. "I need to tell you something-" i cutt him off again. "No Austin, it wasn't your fault. I know i overreacted and i shouldn't pay attention to all of what they say. I am really sorry." i said and i held his face. "I trust you and i know you wouldn't do that." i said smiling. "No Mavs actually-" he was interrupted by Matt knocking outside.

"Go take a shower babe, i'll get him." i said kissing his cheeks. He made a deep sigh and walked straightly inside the bathroom.

I wiped my face and walked to the door. "Mavs hey uh," Matt said looking down. "I'm sorry about earlier." i said and he shook his head. "It's okay, don't worry about that. But seriously what happened?" he asked pulling me outside.

"I know, i overreacted. I'm sorry does he have another sched before we went home?" i asked him worriedly. "Yeah actually," he answered and my face started burning.

Oh my gosh Mavery i can't stand you. I secretly whispered to myself.

"He actually planned a surprise for you." he suddenly say. I looked up at him. "Fucking what?" i asked with my mouth opened. "I can't spill the bean okay. He'd kill me." he said smiling playfully. "Oh my god..." i whispered covering my face. "I fucked everything up Matt." i added. "Don't you dare cry!" he shouted and i fixed myself. "Anyways, i need to go. Here, he told me you haven't eaten anything yet." he said giving me a paper bag.

I mentally tapped my head and sighed. "Thanks Matt, really. I'm so sorry..." i apologized. "It's fine, tell Austin i left." he waved his hand and walked downstairs.

I closed the door behind me and shut my eyes. I put the takeouts down on the side table and sat on the bed. Waiting for Austin to get out so i would immediately melt because of my stupidity. The door creaked open and i looked at his direction. He was peeking through the crack. "Uhm babe?" he said with a shy tone. I stood up.

"What?" i asked him. He cleared his throat. "I-i, i forgot to get a boxer." he said and i laughed. "Why are you blushing?" i smirked walking to his closet to get what he just requested. "Huh? I'm actually just peeking here. It's not that you're seeing my whole face." he excused. I jogged to the bathroom door and tried to look inside but he stopped me. "Mavery!" he shouted. "What? It's not like i haven't seen that before!" i shouted laughing.

"Babe, do not start with that please. You know we can't." he said seriously. I laughed again. "I forgot how it actually looked babe," i said pouting. "Fucking stop!" he shouted slamming the door. I held my belly and started to laugh hard.

I layed on the bed waiting for him to finish. "Hi," i said the moment he got out. "So Matt came?" he asked drying his curly hair with a towel. I tapped the free space of the bed signalling him to sit next to me. "Yeah, did you ask him to bring us food?" i said getting the towel from him. He faced me placing his legs on my both side cornering me in the middle.

He slid his hands to my bump. "Yeah, you haven't eaten yet," he whispered looking at me. I smiled, "You hungry too?" i asked him and he made a short nod. "Let's get downstairs and eat. I'll get this ready." i said giving him the towel while i take the paper bags from the side table. He guided me to get off of the bed. "I'll be down in a sec," he said giving my cheeks a soft kiss.

After fixing the food, i heard his footsteps towards me. "I'm starving," he whispered collapsing on the island. I laughed "Let's eat!" i shouted getting him a bud light from the fridge.

"That's so sweet of you." he smiled widely. "Oh come on, we both knew you couldn't live without bud light." i chuckled. "Come here." he suddenly pulled me placing me on his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He slid his hand to my thigh. "You know how much i love you right?" he seriously asked. I looked at him, his eyes were saying something...

Is he okay?

"Babe? Are you alright?" i asked concerning about how weird he's acting most of the times now. "I'm just scared," he whispered. "Scared of what?" then he made a deep sigh. "You, leaving me..." he said with his eyes turning red. I got up and stood in front of him.

"What are you saying? Why would i leave you?" i asked holding his head up to look at me. My heart sunk when i saw tears roll down his face.

My chest got heavy, i felt something inside me i can't even explain. I slid my hands on top of his shoulders and he slowly pulled me burying his face on my chest. I brushed his hair.

"Shh i'm here baby, it's all okay..." i whispered while kissing his head. His grip on me tighten a little bit.

I suddenly felt so so bad about what i just did to him. I don't even have any idea of what's going on with him... His life would never be easy. And i should support him every step of the way. He's doing everything for me, it's a sure thing that i should do the same for him. I suddenly felt a tear fell from my eyes.

I can't stand seeing him like this...

"I love you Austin..." i whispered looking down at him. He slowly looked up at me with his eyes still wet and red for crying.

I slowly smiled at him. "Aw, y-you're so in love with me." he managed to say. I leaned further down to kiss him. His lips were swollen but still sweet and soft.

I never wanted to separate from him.

He moved his hands and cupped my face, slowly separating from me. I leaned my forehead on his. "I'm sorry i ruined your surprise." i apologized. "It was Sandy," he whispered and i moved away. "Who?" i asked. "The girl i was talking with earlier. Tina introduced me to her." i knitted my eyebrows. "I wanted to surprise you. She's going to make your wedding gown. And, Tina would design it.-" i cutt him off.

I moved away from him covering my mouth. "Austin!..." i cried out of shame and stupidity. "I should've told you about it instead of making it a surprise." he said and i shook my head. "Babe i'm so sorry!" i shouted throwing my arms around his neck once more. He sighed and looked up to me.

"I'm so sorry for making you feel bad. It won't happen again." he apologized and i brushed it off. "No, i should be the one saying that to you. I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry Austin." i said looking down.

He just smiled caressing my cheeks. "It's all okay." he said chuckling. I laughed and hugged him again. He tightened the hug and we stayed like that for awhile.

"Austin?" i whispered. He replied a low "Hm?" i smiled and held his face up to face me again. I stared at his beautiful face for seconds.

"You're the coolest boyfriend in the whole fucking world."

His face immediately lit up and i was shocked when he stood up lifting me. "Fuck it!" he shouted and we both started laughing.
