Emily's POV

I was there at the practice for about an hour or so...I like the guys. They're pretty funny. If Austin trusts them, of course, I trust them too. I was lost in thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder "Emmie?? You ok?" Austin looked at me concerned. "Huh? Oh yea...I was just..."thinking" I guess. All done? Ready to go?" I asked him smiling. "Umm yea...I think so, oh and the guys are coming over too...I AM taking u to my place...you know that right?" He asked me in an obivious tone. "I kinda figured" I laughed and he chuckled. It was two cars...Me, Austin and Mark in Austin's car and the other's in Jake's car. We were all walking to the cars. "You're being really unfair Austin..." Eric started and Austin looked at him with a confused look. "I mean keeping this beauty "off limits" Eric gestured to me and put on a fake pout. Austin chuckled and shrugged. "You're lucky you get to be friends with her atleast" Austin added. "I guess he's right man." Jake said and the others slowly agreed. "I'm right here you know! This conversation's about me and I haven't even said anything yet!" I said gave them all a crazed look. Everyone just chuckled and shook their head. Ok what is that about? I stomped off to the car and they just laughed even more. Now I'm getting annoyed. It's weird how I only met these guys today and I already feel comfortable around them. I'm not too shy around them. It's like another side of me comes out or something. I opened Austin's car and got into the backseat as he unlocked it. "What? You're supposed to be sitting with me." Austin said whining a little. "That's what you get for laughing at me!" I stuck my tongue out at him. Mark just gave Austin a look of fake sympathy and got in the front seat with him. They started talking about different things and I could see Austin taking glances at me once in a while. I couldn't help but smile at that. He's proabably still bummed about how I didn't sit with him in the front. I giggled under my breath and both of them looked at me. Ok maybe it wasn't under my breath? At least I thought it was. "What's so funny Emmie?" Austin asked me and Mark just looked at me. "Oh umm...nothing...just you know...stuff...ran into my mind I guess." I said and smiled. "Uh huh...what kinda stuff?" Mark asked me raising an eyebrow. It was so obivious on his face that he was asking this to annoy me or put me in "trouble". "You..." I tapped Austin's nose and then Mark's. "...don't need to know." I stuck my tongue out at them.  "Excuse me...maybe HE doesn't need to know..but I have every right to know considering that we're pretty much the same person" I smiled at that and Mark looked surprised. "Ouch...that...hurt man" He put his hand on his chest and made a fake hurt face. I shook my head and smiled. Austin pouted and looked away. "That's right...eyes on the road babe." I told Austin trying to hold back my laugh. He gave me a glare through the rearview mirror and I gave him an innocent smile. Well this was fun. We pulled into his drive way and everyone else arrived soon after. Austin was still pretending to be mad at me apparantly because when I started to walk with him he ignored me and walked faster away. I'll show him. He can't keep himself away from me for long...especially if I give it a little push. 

I smiled to myself and went over to Eric. He smiled at me and I smiled back. I linked my arm through his and walked in the house. Eric bend down to my ears and whispered "What are you doing?"

"Oh you know...just giving Austin a little something something." I whispered back and giggled.

"Oh ok...I get it...but if I get my butt kicked...which by the way he's looking at me right now, I probably will...its all on you." He said glancing at Austin. I looked at Austin as well and he looked like he was about to go punch someone into the hospital. I shook my head in disbelief.

"Don't worry...you'll be fine." I smiled and gave Eric a nudge. We all sat down around in the living room.  I could feel Austin's eyes on me and Eric the entire time.

Austin's POV

She was taking this way too far. She's all cuddly with Eric! She better stop before I do something I'll regret. But then again, I WAS the one to ignore her in the first place. She's probably trying to teach me a lesson. Lesson recieved but I'll play along. "Hey who wants a drink? I'm off to the kitchen." She stood up and looked around. Almost all of us raised our hands including me. She and Eric exchanged glances as she walked over to the kitchen. Ok what was that about??? Soon after, Eric got up and left to the kitchen too...OK WHAT was THAT about???? Everyone else just looked at each other then shot their eyes at me. "Hey man...I thought you said she was "OFF limits" Pete saidn and Mark nodded. "Does the rule not apply to Eric? Now that is just NOT right man." Jake added. "Nah...she's just playing games with me. Yes she IS off limits and YES the rule applies to Eric too. I'll see him later." I said and the guys chuckled. "Well...looks like she's got you bad...I mean you KNOW they're faking and just look at how jealous you are..." Mark said laughing in between. "Jealous? Who? ME? I am SO NOT jealous. It's just a little...inappropriate is all." I said trailing off. "Oh come ON!" Pete started. "Inappropriate? What are you a teacher? or her MOTHER?" finished Jake. I shook my head. "Just shut up ok?" I said as I brushed my hair back with my fingers. Ok what is taking them so long???? I got up and went to the kitchen and I could hear the guys cracking up behind me. Pshh...morons. I walked in and they were talking...Eric had his hand on top of Emmie's and she was smiling and...UGHH! SO not right! They saw me walk in and Eric looked at Em. "I'll take these drinks out." He took the drinks and walked out to the living room. I crossed my arms and stood there leaning against the wall. I looked at her and she looked back at me...her warm brown eyes full of amusement...her beautiful pink full lips trying hard to hold back a laugh...so gorgeously annoying. "What?" She asked me innocently. "What? You're asking ME what? I should be asking you that? What was all that about?" I asked her, jealousy so clear in my voice. Oh man...jealousy! Such a royal pain! "Nothing...I was just being friendly..." She told me..clearly about to burst out laughing. IF she does...she's definitley gunna get it! "A little too friendly there Emmie." I said walking towards her. She coulding hold it in anymore and she starts laughing. Her hand was on her stomach and she looked like she was about to collapse to the floor. "Too...much" She continued on laughing. "Stop it! It wasn't even that funny! I don't see anything funny!!!" I protested but that just got her laughing even more. "OK that's it! You're so getting it now!" I said and her eyes popped open and she took a small step back. I smirked as she ran into the living room. I started chasing her and the guys were already cracking up. They probably heard the whole conversation. I repeat...morons. "Ok is someone gunna help me or what???" She asked the guys while running. "Nah...this is too good." They continued on laughing. She groaned and ran around the living room...not knowing what to do. Soon after I cornered her. "Uhh...hi..Austin...how are you? Did I mention this whole thing was a joke? One day we'll all look back and laugh...at..this?" She stuttered as I walked towards her smirking. "Oh yes we will...I'm just adding a little more humor so we can laugh a little more in the future." And with that I picked her up by her waist and threw her over my shoulder. The guys stopped and stared for a moment...then started cracking up again. And may I say this girl...was weightless! It was almost...unbelievable! I could feel her struggling to get out. "Austin PUT. ME. DOWN! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" I chuckled and shook my head. I took her over to the pool. "Oh no...no! NO! Do not throw me in th...." I brought her down to my arms, crarrying her bridal style now and threw her in before she chould finish the sentence. She rose up to the surface soon after and I laughed. The expression on her face was priceless. I walked back to the living room. The guys all just looked at me as I kept laughing. "Austin...Dude...what did you do?" Mark asked and everyone looked at  me anxiously. "Oh I..." I couldn't finish the sentence. "AUSTIN...YOU IDIOT!!!!" Emmie rushed in the living room and all eyes shot back to her. There was a moment of silence and then everyone started laughing in unision...including me. She was all soaked...and that expression on her face...she looked like a cherry...so red that you could tell she was about to explode with anger. "I am SO getting you back for this!" She spat out and I stood up and walked towards her chuckling. "Aw come on babe...you did something...I did something...now we're even. Truce?" I asked her grabbing her by the waist and pulling her towards me. "Hmm....I'll think about it." She stuck her tongue out at me and pushed me away. She smiled as she walked upstairs...to my room probably...to change or get a towel or something. I shook my head and smiled to myself. "And I thought I was gunna get it trouble..." Eric said and I gave him a fake glare. We all started laughing again. Man...life was so much better...and almost perfect with her back in my life.
