I woke up and the first thing I saw was Austin’s brown eyes looking straight at me. He was crouching next to my bunker and had a smile on his lips. I looked at him and wondered what he was doing.
"Are you watching me sleep?" I asked, and he nodded.
"I was supposed to wake you up, but I just couldn’t" he said.
"Why not?" I asked and sat up. He smiled.
"Because you talked in your sleep and… I just couldn’t" he said.
"I talked in my sleep?" I gasped, and wondered what I had said. But the look on his face was just so adorable I bet I said something like I loved him, or something like that.
"I guess you really like my eyes" he teased and shot me a huge grin.
"Well I do" I said and shrugged.
"So what is happening today then?" he asked.
"Well we have a day off, so what about doing something?" I asked, and he smiled.
"I would love to" he said and kissed me, before walking out to the others.

Austin held my hand as we walked through the city. Currently we happened to be in Chicago and it had been a long time since I’ve been here. It felt good to just look around and not feeling bothered by anyone. We took a coffee at a Starbucks, or Austin took a coffee and I took tea.
"Tell me about Africa" he said and looked at me.
"You wanna know about Africa?" I asked, and looked back. He nodded and looked curious, and he had that playful smile on his lips.
"Well everything began when I was in London. I wanted to do something and help people at the same time, and that was when I stumbled upon this nice lady who told me about becoming a volunteer" I said. He nodded and said that was one way of helping people.
"So I signed up for a orphanage program, where you would help kids in Kenya. Be at the orphanage, teach them english and spend time with them" I said.
"Sounds pretty nice" he said and nodded.
"It was. You can’t even imagine how wonderful it was to see all the children so happy when you came, and when you got to know them and they told you their stories" I said and smiled. Flashes of the children’s faces and the places I had seen was heartwarming.
"And teaching them English, it was really fun. they are so eager to learn and get to know more about the world" I said and looked at him. His eyes was shining and he looked really curious. He smiled and took a sip of his coffee.
"Do you know how beautiful you look when you talk about this? You can really see how much you enjoyed being there" he said.
"I did, I learned so much from being there and it was such an incredible journey" I said and nodded.

We passed a store that sold bathing suits and Austin stopped.
"I don’t need a bikini just because I’m in Chicago" I said and looked at him.
"What would you say if after this tour, you and I go away for a week and just relax?" he asked and looked at me.
"Away? Like where?" I asked him.
"I know this pretty place on Hawaii" he said and shrugged.
"Well if you insist" I teased and poked him. It would be nice to go away and just spend time with just Austin.
"And if we are… we need to get you a new bikini" he teased.
"You just want to see me try something on, don’t you?" I asked, and looked at him. He shot me another grin and I rolled my eyes.
"Fine, let’s see if we can find anything" I said.

Austin’s POV

I sat outside the dressing room and waited for her to put on the first one. I could hear her mutter a little and that only made this so much more fun. I smiled and glanced over towards the curtain and then it opened. I just stared at her and she looked at me. She blushed a little and looked nervous.
"Wow" I said and looked from head to toe, and back up again.
She had a black, purple and light blue bandeau top and black panties. On her hips rested two small ribbons from where you knit the underwear together. It made her hips look really wide, but not in a bad way. Her waist was thin and her chest small. But she wasn’t flat. She still had curves and with her short hair she looked… stunning.
"Does it look bad?" she asked. I shook my head and just stared.
"It looks great" I said and she looked at me with disbelief.
"Austin" she said.
"No really, honesty is our thing, remember?" I said and smiled. She looked at herself and turned around. Damn. She had the perfect round ass too.
She came back out from the dressing room and gave me a small smile.
"Did you like it?" I asked.
"Yes" she said and looked at it.
"Good, because I’ve already payed for it" I teased.
"AUSTIN" she whined and stared at me.
"What? I like to give you things sometimes" I teased and kissed her temple.
"I’ll pay you back" she said.
"Never" I said and started to walk out from the store.
"Austin" she called my name again and hurried after.
