(outfit)

"I'm going out!" I said to Izzy and Kush as I walked past them in the bus.

"With Austin?" Izzy asked.

"Maybe."

"You better tell him!" She yelled, but I quickly shot her a look before opening the bus door to be greeted by Austin.

"Hey babe," he gave me his dorky smile, which I hesitantly returned as I shut the bus door and came down the stairs to him. "Hey.."

"I think the theater is only like half a mile or less away, so lets get walkin!" He held out his arm and I linked mine with his as we started to walk out of the park.

"You were gone this morning when I got back," Austin looked down at me.

"I got bored! You left me there all alone!" I exclaimed, trying to keep a smile on my face.

Austin chuckled, "I'm sorry, I just couldn't wake you up, you were out like a light."

"Yeah," I nodded, silence lingering for a moment after.
"Would you slow down?!" I laughed lightly after a while, trying to catch up with Austin who was basically dragging me with his long legs. He started laughing at me, dramatically slowing his walk like he was in slow motion. "Oh you think you're funny," I stuck my tongue out at him.

"I do think I'm funny," he stuck his tongue back out at me. "And maybe you should speed up, huh, ever think of that?" He teased.

"Excuse me, mister, I'm not the one with 7 foot long legs!"

"...Touche."

We laughed at each other, starting to walk down the sidewalk of the city we were in. Somewhere in Oklahoma, I believe.. I really should know, but there are so many tour dates and places that I get lost.

After a little bit longer of walking and me listening to Austin tell some story that just cracked him up, a few times me as well, we made it to the movie theatre. It was a cute, old fashioned place that made me smile. Austin did the gentlemanly thing and bought my ticket for me and the popcorn for us.

"Hell yes," Austin cheered when we got into the theatre, finding it was empty. I watched with a smile as he ran to set his food down and then start jumping over seats. "Austin!" I laughed when he climbed up onto a pole that was for handicapped people to use on the ramp and jumped off and over the row of seats below. "You're insane!"

"Insanely awesome!" He smiled and then turned, starting to run fast over to me. My eyes widened when his speed didn't slow as he got closer, and I realized he was going to tackle me or something. I quickly set down everything in my hands and turned, running away while laughing in nervous anticipation. I ran down to where the screen was, luckily the previews hadn't started yet. I then saw Austin gaining speed, ending up on the opposite side of the nearest chair that I was, ready to lunge at my next move. I would try to go left, and he'd hop there first, same with right. I was trapped. But, hey, why not at least try to make a run for it?

I let out a squeal when I did try, Austin moving fast and grabbing me around the waste before I could get by. He spun me around so I could face him, both of us trying to catch our breath. The fact that we both just got winded from barely running for a couple of minutes made us chuckle, but I gasped in shock when mine was cut short by Austin's lips.

It felt like everything else had slipped away but him, the only focus I had was on the man attached to me. The ones who lips so delicately, but hungrily, devoured mine. While his hands were gripping my hips, pulling me close to him. I could get lost in him forever, I could kiss him forever- "Tag, you're it," he breathed into my ear, breaking away and then turning around a sprinting off with a laugh. He left me stunned for a moment, but then I smirked. He's such a child.

A child that I was gona catch.

"It's on!" I called and ran up the stairs to the level of chairs he got to.

I chased him around, both of us giggling, for a little bit longer, but soon enough, he had gotten so far ahead of be with his super long legs that he managed to find a hiding spot. "You can run but you can't hide!" I called as I turned in a circle, looking for him to come out. When no one did I huffed, letting my shoulders fall, only to jump nearly out of my pants when hands came up behind me, tickling my sides. I even let out a scream, turning so fast around and ready to pounce that I fell on my butt, completely forgetting it was Austin until I saw him laughing at me. "Not funny!" I held my rapidly beating hard. "You scared the crap out of me."

He quickly came over once I fell and grabbed my hand, holding it lightly in his, giving it a kiss and making me smile. "I," he moved and kissed my shoulder. "Am," he kissed my neck. "So so so so so so so so so so so," with each so he said quickly, he kissed a new spot on my face, making me scrunch it up and both of us laugh. "...Sorry," he finally gave me a peck on the lips last, which I followed his head back up when he pulled away, giving him one more.

"All is forgiven," I smiled and he helped me up. "Now come on, I think the previews are starting," I grabbed his hand, tugging him over to the food we set down to grab. "Where do we sit?" I asked, looking at all the open seats.

"We have to get the best spot!" He led me to a specific row and a specific number of seats in, before finally letting me sit. "This is the best spot?" I asked him.

"Mhm, it's where you can get the best vertical angle to have no neck strain, plus, this is where the technicians test out the sound because the speakers on the right and left meet in the center, which is here," he pointed to his lap and I just looked at him with a smirk. He went on about some more science things related to why this was "the best seat" and I thought it was fun to listen to him babble about a topic that is probably completely unnecessary to know.
I couldn't help my little laugh slip out when he finished talking, he was too cute. "Sorry," I smiled, covering my mouth. "I'm glad to now know."

"You better be, this is some high class information."

"I know. You're so high class sometimes it just blows me away."

He gave me his big, dory smile, sticking his tongue out before he reached over and grabbed the popcorn. We both started eating it, the previews starting up, but nothing interesting coming on. So to entertain myself, I started to throw my popcorn up in the air and catch it in my mouth, making Austin laugh at me. "Hey, it's my secret talent!" I exclaimed. "Look, I can do two at once," I grabbed more popcorn, throwing it up, and catching it in my mouth, sticking my tongue out at him after.

"You're amazing," he gave me a smile, which I happily returned before getting comfortable again. We ended up pushing the arm rest between us up, allowing me to snuggle into him, resting my head on his shoulder while he put his feet up on the seat in front of him. He pulled out his phone and I watched as he started scrolling through twitter. Once he hit the top of his newsfeed, he opened up a new tweet, going to the front camera. He stuck his tongue out, as usual, and I crossed my eyes, making a funny face. Austin smiled when he saw it and then typed the caption: "This girl is my life" with some emojis.

I tried to keep my smile up, but as he tweeted that, everything I had forgotten in the past few moments, came back up. I remembered how much of a shit person I am. I remembered that I have big news that I need to tell him. And I remembered he was probably going to hate me, even if I had accidentally lied.

Either way I probably still am going to have to tell him eventually, even if I don't want to.. Before my self hate reaches a maximum.

But I need to find the right time.

Notes

Will Hazel ever find "the right time"???
