Be Alright

Last Time

What happened last night? Who was I laying on? Who's arms were wrapped around me? All these questions rose through my mind as I opened my eyes. Austin. No. I didn't. I just had a one night stand with the sweetest guy. It meant nothing. I don't remember anything that happened last night. He shifted under me. I lightly pulled myself off of him. Where were my clothes? I grabbed a blanket that had been tossed on the floor, wrapping it around my body.

I looked around the room to find my clothes thrown on the couch. I quickly pulled them on, wishing I had worn a pair of jeans and a sweater last night. "Morning." I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around.

"Good morning Austin." I said grabbing my bag, and tossing the blanket I found back on the couch.

"I don't usually do this, I wanted you to know." Austin added walking and grabbing his white t shirt. I watched as he pulled it over his shirtless body.

"Me either. I guess it's a first for everything." I said rocking back and fourth on my heels. "I should get going, I- wait." I began. I came with Maggie, and I'm pretty sure she left. "Do you mind giving me a ride- wait, never mind.. I'll just take an über." I replied walking myself to the bedroom door.

"No Dani! Wait." Austin said tying his shoe. "At least I could do is give you a ride home." He continued. "Anyways, aren't you cold? Do you want a sweatshirt?" He asked walking to the closet.

"You can't snoop through somebody's clothes." I hushed.

"These are my clothes. I'm staying with AC for the week, so I don't have to be alone in my apartment." He said handing me a sweatshirt. I thanked him as I pulled the sweatshirt  over my body." He winked. "C'mon, I'll drive you home." He smiled grabbing my hand. Wait, last night he led me to his bedroom?

"Can I ask? Since you brought me to your bedroom last night.. Did you automatically think we would do what we did?" I asked looking down at my heels.

"Of course not, Dani." He said putting his finger underneath my chin, pulling it up. "It just happened." He added. I nodded slowly. "Let's go." He said pulling my hand down the stairs.

"Look who it is. Did you guys have fun last night? Wait, what's with the hands?" Robert smirked. I let go of Austin's hand.

"I'm just going to give Dani a ride home and I'll be back." Austin replied as we both walked to the door.

"I knew they'd hit it off." We heard Alex say as we exited the door.

"This is it." I said unbuckling my seatbelt. "Thank you for the ride." I smiled opening the car door and walking to my front door. I didn't think Austin would walk me to my door, but he did.

"Dani, I was wondering if I could get your number?" Austin asked.

"Of course." I nodded nervously, as he handed me his phone. Why did I feel butterflies? Why was I nervous? For heavens sake, I've already has sex with this guy, there's not much to hide anymore.

"I'll call you." He smiled.

"See you later Austin." I smiled back as I entered my house. My phone buzzed, a new text message.

'Beautiful, if you think this is the last time, you see me, you're wrong. I'm going to need my sweater back.' The text read. I giggled at the dorkiness in the text. Maybe Maggie was right? Maybe I did find "the love of my life".
