Austin's POV
"Married !?" Bea and I said in unison. I look over to her and she shyly looks away. I couldn't help but to smile whenever I see her.
It's been like 20 days since last time I've seen her. Last time I saw her was the intense kiss we had in the rain. Every time I think of Bea, I would remember the kiss and how she said ..
I can't do this again ..
Again ? What does she mean by again? What do you mean Bea ? How com-
"Yes married .." Alex interrupted my thoughts. I look down and started to think of another way to talk to her.
Falling down the stairs counted but I don't want to do that again. That hurt too much and she didn't even talk to me.
All she did was help me up and bring me to the couch. I think she's intentionally ignoring me. I sigh in frustration.
"Is something wrong with my decision Austin?" Alex shot at me with an angry tone as I look up in confusion.
"No no AC. I was thinking of something else." I shook my head so AC won't get mad. I don't want him to get mad.
Have you seen the angry side of Alex? I wouldn't want to see that. No one would.
"I'm happy you guys are deciding to get married .." I flashed the two love birds a smile as I glance at Bea.
That black dress looks perfect on her. Her short brown yet wavy hair falls above her shoulders as her RayBand glasses were pushed in towards her face.
"It's fantastic" I look away because I've been staring for too long. Alex glances at Bea then back at me and raises his eyebrows up and down.
You want to talk to her? Alex telepathically asks me as I nod my head no but it's too late.
"So Bea .. Uh when's your graduation?" Alex asks Bea as everyone's eyes turn to her. She raises her eyebrows gracefully and pushes her glasses in.
Those glasses. Calm yourself Mahone.
"Tomorrow .." She speaks with a smile as I catch her look at me then look away.
Why look away? Look at me. I command her but she doesn't respond.
"Would you mind if we all drink then? ... For celebration?" He asks her as she says that she doesn't mind.
We all then get up and make it towards the backyard. Rob and Zach getting beers as I plan different scenarios to talk to Bea.
"Thanks for saving my life back there .." I sit next to her as the tent above us blocked the sunlight. The wind chilly but it also soothing.
"I helped you recover from falling down a couple of steps .." Bea said matter of fact.
A couple of steps? I flew down a flight of stairs for you. I thought as she continued.
"It's not like I jumped in front of a speeding bullet for you ..." Her tone much more fuller and somewhat sassy. Rob and Zach then came outside and started handing out beers to everyone.
Bea and I grabbed one as she opened hers by hitting the cap against a ledge. I used my key.
I cleared my throat and wondered what to say next. I turn my head and I see Alex and Sarah staring at us.
With their amused faces, Alex rose his eyebrows and motioned me to talk to her. I mouthed the words I know and resumed.
"I didn't know you drink beer." I surprisingly said. Saving myself from a totally awkward situation.
The ends of her lips curled up as she slowly pressed her soft lips against the opened bottle and sipped.
Once she was done she smacked her lips together and murmured "A lot things changed these few years."
"Not all things .." I blurted out softly; hoping she wouldn't hear me but she did. Her head turned and our eyes met.
It's the second time she looked at me today and I got goosebumps all over again. I hide my true feelings behind a smirk as she squinted her eyes and faced forward again.
Bea's confused expression was left in my thoughts as I was confused myself. Why did I say that?
"Everyone gather around !" Robert screamed unnecessarily. But he saved me from another awkward situation. Thanks rob.
"In celebration of Alex and Sarah's engagement ... We're gonna play a game." Rob spoke as I cringe.
Rob . Gonna isn't a word. I thought as I glance at Bea and she smiled slowly as I knew she thought that too.
We all got up and gathered around the circular table. We all sat down as I noticed Bea was to my left and Alex was to my right.
"This game is called .." Rob then placed 6 shot glasses in the center of the table. We all stared at it as Rob pulled out 2 bottles of Jack Daniels Whiskey. 1 on his left and one of his right.
"Truth in a shot." With that being said, rob then began explaining the rules.
He said that each person drinks a shot of whiskey when it's their turn. One person asks that specific person a question.
"You have to tell the absolute truth tho. The whiskey will help you." Robert grinned as Sarah raised her hand. Interrupting Roberts explaination.
"How will we know who will ask the question if there's only one person to ask it?" Sarah asked Rob as he looked at her with wide eyes. His face filled with delight as he kneeled down and went through his bag.
"With this ..." He then took out the board from the came Twister. You know the board where you spin it so you know what color and hand you're placing on the mat.
"Were gonna use the spinning arrow, not the colors and stuff .." He pointed at the board as we all shake our heads; beside Bea.
Her face horrified as she looked at the Jack Daniels. She sat back uncomfortably as she asked if she can't play.
"No Bea ... You have to play." Robert shushed her as he excitedly sat down in his seat.
"But my graduation is tomo-"
"Okay." Robert calmed her down, trying to find an alternative. "After the first few rounds and you don't like it, you can stop .."
"We're not gonna drink a lot .." Rob and everyone else stared at her. I wanted to stand with Bea about this game but I really wanted to play so ... Sorry Bea.
"Okay." She glanced at everybody before looking down and sighed. Everybody grabbed a shot glass and looked around at each other.
"I'll go first .." Rob spoke with excitement. He then leaned over, flicked the arrow and all 6 of us stared at the arrow spin.
Watching it decrease it's speed and stopping at Alex.
Let the games begin. I thought as we started playing a Truth In A Shot.
