It was a photo that I had posted on facebook a month ago when Kasey and I took a trip to the beach. I slowly sat his laptop on the coffee table behind me and I found it hard to look at him for a moment.

"Austin..."

Before I could say another word something dawned on me, he really did want me and I decided that I had made him wait long enough.

I quickly sat in his lap, my legs straddling his waste as I brought my right hand up to rake through his dark brown hair.

"So what exactly were you thinking about?" I asked in a low warm tone.

The nervous look that had been on his face quickly died away as he placed his hands on the small of my back and leaned up to press his lips against mine.

"Would you like me to show you?" He murmured against my skin as his breath traveled down my neck.

I only nodded as he scrapped his teeth softly down my neck and I gripped onto the front of his shirt sighing quietly as I tilted back my head. Austin let his hands into the back of my shirt and only removed his lips from my skin to get rid of my t-shirt. He trailed his heated pecks down past my collar bone, carelessly pushing down one of my bra straps that were in his way. I brought my hands up to tangle my fingers through his soft hair, bringing his face up to mine as I did. I hurriedly molded my mouth to his, allowing my right hand to glide down his chest and stomach until I reached the tail of his shirt. I tugged it up until he got my point, lifting his arms and tossing the piece of clothing across the room before quickly placing his hands back on my hips.

Austin then hooked his thumbs into the belt loops of my shorts telling me, "Stand up for a second."

I stumbled to my feet and he swiftly slipped my bottoms from my legs, then prompted me to step out of them. He pulled me closer to him, pressing kisses to my hip bones.

"A-Austin." I breathed shakily.

"Tristy?"

"Yea baby?"

"Tristan wake up."

"Huh? What?" I questioned, heavily confused and then I realized that I was being shook.

It had been a fucking dream.

I gave an irritated groan as I opened my eyes to find that I was on Austin's couch, several boxes of Chinese sat on the coffee table with only two open and eaten out of, the room was dark and the TV was playing some music show on the VH1 channel.

"Were you having a good dream?" Austin asked with a chuckle.

"You have no idea." I muttered to myself as I remembered that I actually brought the food to him and he had been watching TV and I managed to pass out on his chest. So there was no masturbation, no kissing, and no promises of a very pleasant evening. I hated to admit how bummed out I was and not to mention that I was really hot and bothered from that wonderful dream.

"What was it about?"

I couldn't stop the heat from rising to my cheeks as I thought back to my vivid dream, "I don't really remember actually."

He let out a dry laugh, "Liar."

"Well maybe I don't want to talk about it." I muttered trying to keep myself from grinning.

"Don't make me get it out of you." He warned playfully.

"And how exactly do you plan to do that?"

"If I wasn't hurt, I think you would love what I had in mind." He murmured against my neck, making my dream almost seem like a memory, but then he added, “But for now I'll just stick with tickling the shit out of you."

With that he wiggled his fingers into my sides and I hurriedly escaped his grasp, laughing and shouting, "Okay, okay! I'll tell you! It was about you."

"Well I kind of figured that since you were saying my name. What was I doing?"

"Kissing me..."

"And what else?"

"Touching me." I breathe, starting to get very embarrassed.

I felt his hot breath on my neck again and I couldn’t resist from shivering this time. "How?"

"Austin this isn't fair!" I whined, "You ought to know what you were doing and I'd really like you to stop since we can't act any of it out."

"Oh so you would actually want it to happen huh?" He questioned with a grin in his voice.

"Austin please." I begged and he let out a chuckle that was cut short by a yawn.

"Alright Tristy, but since I'm sleepy you have to come to bed with me."

"But I'm so comfy right now." I complained snuggling against him as I spoke.

He laughed softly and then got up from the couch, picking me up bridal style along the way.

"Put me down! You might open up your stitches if you're not careful!"

He only scoffed at me, "You act like you're actually heavy."

"Doesn't it hurt?"

"Not as bad as you think it would." He replied carrying me to his room.

Once he laid me down on the soft creamy sheets he carefully climbed in as well, pulling us both under the covers. He pulled me over to him, draping his arm and leg around me as he pressed a soft kiss to my forehead.

I felt my heart swell as he murmured, "Goodnight baby girl."

"Night Austin."

After that I rested head against him and fell asleep to the beating of his heart.

The next morning I was awoken by an obnoxious ringing that never seemed to end.

It finally stopped when I heard Austin speak, "Hello? Yeah man what's up?"

After a minute he sighed, "Shit I forgot about that being today. Alright I'll be ready in ten."

I rolled over to face Austin since I had somehow managed to move away from him in the night. I rubbed my eyes and groggily ask, "What was that?"

"Alan called to tell me that we have a signing in two hours, so I need to get up now." He explained as he pulled himself out of the bed.

"Hang on I'll get up in a second." I muttered.

He pressed his hand to my back gently saying, "No you should sleep, I'll be back in a few hours."

"Are you gonna be okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just going to take it easy today, so I will see you later. Go back to sleep Tristy" With that he leaned down to press a kiss to the top of my head and I drifted back off after that.

At least an hour later I woke up to my own phone ringing on the night stand, I smiled knowing that Austin had put it there for me.

I answered to have Kasey's voice jabbering in my ear, "Hey girly, I hope you had a good night with your man, but I'm coming to steal you for a bit so you can tell me all the juicy details."

I laughed, "Okay then, but like I had said, nothing happened."

"Aw bummer! I was hoping for a steamy little story!" She cried.

I then told her about my dream and the rest of the evening as I grabbed a gray cutoff shirt from Austin's closet and slipped it over my red tank top, I'm sure he wouldn't mind me wearing it. Not long after I was dressed she was knocking on the door and we headed out to enjoy the day as she put it. We went into to town and stopped by several of the local stores, I was glad to say that this was turning out to be a fun day, I could almost ignore the constant nagging in the back of my mind that Max was out there somewhere waiting and planning ways to, as he put it, 'get me back'.

That's when I noticed a sliver car pull up around the corner rapidly. Before I could even think about running Darby and Max burst out of the car and he swiftly grabbed me up off my feet as Darby ran around to hold off Kasey.

"What are you doing?!" I screamed trying to kick my way out of his hold, "Let me go! Put me down Max!"

He only laughed at my weak attempt to free myself and opened the lid of his trunk, I knew exactly where this was going. I saw Darby shove Kasey to the ground as hard as she could right when I was tossed in the trunk and the lid slammed shut. I let out the loudest scream I could muster and slammed my fist repeatedly against the interior of the vehicle, but I realized no one was going to be able to get me out when the car began moving. I heard it peel down the road and hit a curb, making me bounce up and smack my head, I blacked out after that.
