Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Call me crazy or stupid for letting him back in my life, for forgiving him or believing his words that it was a mistake. Hey! I’m just your typical average teenage girl, that’s it. I have my own flaws just like he and everyone else. Will he hurt me again, definitely YES? Will I forgive him, absolutely YES? Why because, I’m human with feelings of my own and I’m done living with the maybes and ifs and what not. Yeah so get over it.

“What’s MFEO?” I ask. He smirks running his fingers through his hair.

“A crazy set of words Bailey described us as…uhm, Made For Each Other.” He looks at me smirking. Of cause it’s something Bailey will say.

“I’m happy we kissed and made up.” I say sitting Indian style on the dock.

“Technically you didn’t kiss me Snoopy.” I roll my eyes glaring at him but deep down I smile. My cocky Austin is back.

“It’s a metaphor Austin stop acting crass.”

“I know what a metaphor is Snoopy.”

“Really?” I look at him pointedly which he chuckles.

“Whatever. I’m just happy you are back in my arms. Truthfully, I’ve had a past horrible week and I don’t want to relive it.” agreeing to that with a nod while enjoying the serenity of the atmosphere.

“What is the plan now?”

“Plan? What plan? I didn’t know there’s any plan.” He faces me playing oblivious wanting me to say the word.

“Us, Austin.” Stating the obvious which he grins looking more handsome.

“Oh that. Well it’s simple. Show my beautiful girlfriend off and enjoy the sweet taste of victory.” He smirks smugly.

“A little presumptuous are we now.”

“What?” he grins. “You have always been my girlfriend. You don’t just want to accept it. Foolish pride.” He sucks his teeth playfully.

“Wow! Really Austin? If that’s what you think then I have a plausible claim by accepting Liam proposal.” I throw at him brushing stray tendrils of my hair which fell loose out of my ponytail due to the wind blowing.

“What? What proposal?” his smirk twist into a frown, eyebrows scrunched together and his voice suddenly became hard. Well Hello jealousy, I'm Snoopy. I grin inwardly.

“He asked me to be his girlfriend and also his date to prom. Cool right?” I glance cheekily at him trying not to give my poker face away with the laugh threatening to burst out.

“You will refuse him right?” he looks at me in a frown. “Right?” I’m really trying to hold it in here. I bit my lip looking at the water with a shrug.

“Why? Last I checked I’m single and searching.”

“No you not. I’m your boyfriend.” His voice rise in alarm. I turn facing him.

“Quick question. Did you ask me to be your girlfriend?”

“No but...” he grumble.

“Ah ah ah don’t interrupt. Did I in any way accept to be your girlfriend?” I act tapping my head as if thinking.

“No.” he looks seconds from bursting out, a frown on his face clearly not enjoying the direction of my question.

“So that’s it. I’m free to go to prom with whomever I feel like because Austin is much of a bad boy to ask me out. The girl he claims to love.” I wave it off looking back at the still water.

“Fine.” He grumbles.

“Fine.” I smirk rolling my eyes at him.

“To the girl I admire, cherish and cannot live without, who also broke my heart by saying she hate me twice I might say…”

“What? No?” I stop him alarmed.

“Ah ah ah you are ruining my moment and the audience is kept in suspense.” What audience? We are alone by the dock surrounded by water and trees.

“Sorry guys, she tends to get overly excited with things like this, you know, a hot sexy boy like me and her I'm sure you get the picture.” he say slyly after giving me a once over look. With

that I hit his chest, he groans chuckling.

“Snoopy will you be my girlfriend?” finally. About to say yes he continues. “To fulfil all formalities and appease your spirit because whether you like it or not, I’m as yours as you are mine. So say yes and let’s move on.” I glare sternly at him.

That’s it. His cocky ass just had to ruin it by saying stupid things. Out of reflex I push him away standing up to leave. If I ever said I missed or love his cocky self, I take it back. I’m so done with his arrogance. His pride and ego can go feed the whole of America, definitely just not me. He can be his girlfriend because I, Mary-Vienne is done with him. He should go choke on his arrogance.

I heard him chuckling chasing after me. “Snoopy, Snoopy, hey why the face?” He blocks me amusement laced his words. So, he finds this funny right? Moving to the other side he blocks me still, smirking smugly. Yup, he really do find this situation funny and I glare at him.

“Let me go Austin. I’m about done with you.” I frown huffing, looking anywhere but him folding my arms across my chest clearly annoyed. His hand tilts my head to his.

Again with the eyes, those eyes should be tagged lethal weapon of massive heart destruction. I felt my iron wall melting with the burning lava of his eyes. My heart thump erratically in my chest.

“I’m sorry okay. It was a joke.” I suck my bottom lip already knowing I will lose this battle especially as his eyes looks into mine so innocent and sweet.

Sighing, I nod knowing I have no fighting chance and it will be foolish to go into a losing battle. He tilts his head to the side smiling down at me, I scan his beautiful rugged face stopping at his lips a second longer before going back to his eyes that was doing the same at me.

“I don’t know what I did in my past life to deserve someone like you. You are so beautiful, in and out that it hurts to know you are mine. You are everything and more to me, never forget that Snoopy. Promise me.” When he says things like this I feel like exploding. My heart doing the slow dance, my blood pumping rapidly, butterflies, swarms of them goes off in my belly.

Sighing softly, I exhale looking to his eyes watching me waiting for my answer. “I promise Austin.”

Expelling a deep breath I didn't know he held his hand raise caressing every inch of my face

from my hair to my brows trailing down to my cheeks and brushing softly against my lips. My head leans on his palm enjoying the feel of his hands that I've missed so long and not without kissing softly at it. “You own me, all of me. It’s yours to do as pleasing Snoopy. No restraints.” He says with passion before pulling me into his embrace locking me within the grasp of his arms kissing my hair, I sigh in delight loving the seconds that pass by. I don’t want him to change, I really don’t. Being him is enough for me. Annoying, cocky, rude, sometimes angry, funny and caring. That’s the Austin I’ll never forget his promise. The Austin I’ll never let go of. The Austin I'm in love with.
