The Domino Effect || Auslly (The Online Chat rewrite)

Chapter Fourteen

Quick A/N - if you're not happy with this story then it's not that hard to delete the story from your library. But at the end of the day, I'm happy with my story. It's better written than The Online Chat and the practical side of it is better too. Also, this chapter is kind of weird.

"I can't believe my idol has been my best friend all along." I exhale, placing a hand to my forehead. We've been sitting here for at least an hour and a half now. The paparazzi is gonna and I still haven't seemed to wrap my head around the idea that Austin is my friend from Tumblr. I've been talking to him for years now without even realising.

I use to dream about meeting Austin Moon. Now look at me. I'm sitting in a cafe with him and chatting as if we were old time friends catching up in each other's lives. In a way, that's what we're doing. Minus the part where I'm mentally wrapping my head around the concept of being best friends with my celebrity crush.

Austin reaches over the table to place his hand on top of mine and I look up at him. He has a worried expression plastered on his face and I can't help but wonder if I had spaced out or something of that sort. "Are you okay?" He asks me and I smile at him, nodding my head.

"Better than ever," I admit and he mirrors my smile. His smile is so beautiful. It's a gift from the heavens. His face was carved by God himself. Hallelujah, I can now die in peace. Just get me a casket and put me in a hole. I'll be good from there on out.

"That's good," Austin smiles at me and I smile back, my stomach knotting up when I stare. He's just so perfect. So beautiful.

"Austin!" Someone yells as they barge through the door to the cafe. I turn in my seat only to see Dez, Austin's best friend. He rushes over to our table and he lets out a breathy squeal, his hands shaking violently.

"What is it?" Austin asks him and Dez holds a hand to his chest as he gains his breath back.

"You've gotta get ready for that event later tonight." He says.

"Is that it?" Austin asks in disbelief and Dez nods, a quaint smile on his face. Austin gestures towards me and Dez looks at me. He screams. He literally screams.

"Oh my god!" Dez shouts, screaming like a girl. It's worse then when he came in. He immediately drops down onto one knee and he takes my hand in his, kissing it. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, my queen!" I laugh at him, taking my hand back from him and he looks towards Austin with the biggest smile. "Did you arrange this for me?"

"Actually, I-"

"Aw, you're the best man." Dez says, engulfing Austin in a bone crushing hug. I stifle my laughter at the site and Austin playfully glares at me from over Dez's shoulder.

"You should go." I smile at him when Dez pulls away. "You have to get ready for that event, after all."

Austin nods and I begin to stand from my seat when he stops me. "Wait! I-I... You should come tonight."

"What?"

"Be my plus one." Austin offers with a hopeful smile and I gape at him, a little shocked.

"Uh, sure." I say and Austin lets out a relieved breath. "Would I be able to get a photo with the two of you? I doubt my best friend would believe me if I told her about this without photo evidence."

"Yeah, sure." Austin pulls out his phone and pulls Dez and I to each side of him for a selfie. Austin and I pull a smile while Dez does whatever he calls that expression. He takes the photo and then asks for my number, which I gladly give to him. "There." He smiles at me and my phone goes off.

I pull it out to see an unknown number. I open it and quickly save his contact under Austin #iscool before I look up at him myself. He takes my phone from me and opens my camera, turning the video on and videoing himself speaking.

"Hi there, I'm Austin Moon." He smiles at my phone. "How are you? Uh..." he turns to me, "what's your friends name?"

"Trish." I smile.

"Hi Trish!" Austin exclaims before turning the camera so that its on me. I instantly cover my face. "This here is my best friend now. Say bye to her." Austin laughs and I almost swoon. "That's right. I'm that person she's been talking to on Tumblr."

"You have a Tumblr?" Dez questions him and Austin nods with a laugh.

"Yeah, I do. It's I am cool and I've been talking to Ally eighty eight for a good three or four years now." Austin smiles towards me again and he moves so that he's got an arm wrapped around me. I cover my face again and he laughs, handing the phone to Dez. He pries my hand from my face and plants a kiss to my cheek. Austin turns to Dez and asks, "Did you get that?"

"You bet!" Dez shouts and my face flushes a bright red.

Austin turns to me and says, "Will she believe you now?" He laughs and when I nod, Austin pulls me into his arms and places a kiss on the top of my head, chuckling to himself. "You can turn that off now Dez." And Dez does as he's told before handing my phone back to me. I stuff my phone back into my pocket before I wrap my arms around Austin's torso. I could stay here in his arms forever.
