Love & Letters Chapter 3

Love & Letters


Chapter Three


A/N: Thank you for all the reviews I've been given. I hope this chapter is just as well received as the last two, sorry it took so long for me to post this story but I wasn't too sure about how I should take the advice I was given in reviews and how I felt this chapter should go. I tried to ask my friends for their advice but no one got back to me so here is the chapter that I thought of. Hope you enjoy this chapter.


I adored "Tickets and Trashbags", Ally looked absolutely gorgeous in her dress and that hairstyle, so mature and I'm surprised that Austin's jaw didn't drop when he saw her. How sweet was his and Ally's hug, though it was brief? It was an adorable moment as was the fact that Austin had a framed picture of Ally that he brought with him to the awards show. I thought Dez, Trish and Ally's trashbag outfits were very well done, they looked like an actual shirt and pants instead of garbage bags and man can Trish and Dez move, I never knew they could dance.

Anyway, I have gone on long enough. Once again I don't own anybody so please do not sue. Enjoy and please leave reviews.




"I have a sneaking suspicion that Austin might be my secret admirer, insert girly squeals, cause he is the only one who would know the intimate details of the first day that I set eyes on the young man that would ultimately become one of my best friends, my confident, my work partner, my personal cheerleader and the guy I have dreamed about meeting since I was a little girl.


I can't very well go up to Austin and confront him with the sweetest, most romantic letters ever written, they are even better than anything romance novels could come up with, and ask him to tell me the truth; that he is in love with me as I am with him. Umm yeah I can so see how that will play out; Me spending all night convincing myself that I can tell Austin my feelings, though I hadn't been able to tell him for the last 6 months (my excuse is one look into Austin's beautiful brown eyes and I melt into a tongue-tied goofball who can't string together a complete sentence).


Then the next day, I would force my feet to go over to Austin, wordlessly put the letters, which have been under my pillow since I got them so that I can constantly re-read them whenever I have the urge to remind myself that some guy loves me the way I am, on the counter and wordlessly and begging in my head that Austin says something to make my dreams come true.


Oh man that scenario is pathetic, I mean what guy would want a wall flower who is too scared to tell him what she is feeling deep in her heart when he has poured out his heart to her to either reciprocate or deny his love. Okay, I so need help from the mastermind of getting confessions from people without the person even knowing they are being questioned and who is a secret romantic aka my best girlfriend Trish." Ally said out loud to her bare room as she wrote like mad in her songbook/diary about what she had been thinking about all day since she got the last romantic letter but she didn't want to write her feelings down right at the store when her friends were always trying to take a gander at her journal no matter how many times she tells them not to touch it and she didn't want Austin to see her gushing about him until she's ready.




The next day Ally seeks out Trish who was upstairs with Dez watching the newest music video before they posted it online. She had to get rid of Dez before she talked to Trish because Dez might not be the smartest cookie in the box but he would definitely tell Austin what the girls would be talking about. But Ally had an idea of how to get Dez out of the room, sorry Dez.


"Trish, I really want to talk to you about this super-duper guy that I have a massive crush on. I need your advice on what make-up, hairstyle and clothing I should wear to impress him and of course I need flirting advice" Ally said with as much of a calm and natural voice with the touch of need for a girl talk as she could so not to let Dez onto what she was doing.

"Okay, girl talk is makes me feel queasy so I'm going to get out of here and find Austin for some man time. Have a good talk, ladies. I'm getting out of here before I get caught up in the girlishness of the moment. See ya," Dez said as he backed out of the room like he was afraid to catch some girl disease but at least he was leaving.


"What a dork. He acts like talking about love and impressing the person you love is something to fear and run away from. I hope that not all man are like that or mankind will be in trouble of getting their butts kicked from the woman in their life for being wimps when it comes to admitting they love someone other than themselves." Trish said in exasperation at the retreated Dez.


"I hope not because I was telling the truth; there is this guy that I'm like madly in love with and have no idea how to impress him so he will fall in love with me too. And I have been getting this romantic and sweet note filled with personal references for the last few days and I have an idea that Austin is my "secret admirer," Ally uses her fingers to quote her last point, "Please help me!" Ally babbled as she glanced pleadingly at her best friend for help in winning over Austin.


"Ally, slow down, you have been getting romantic notes from the guy who you think is Austin for two days and you didn't think to show them to me?" Trish exclaimed. "I wouldn't think Austin would be romantic and sweet as you make these notes to be but I guess a guy who is madly in love will only show his true colors to the woman he loves. Can I see the notes?" Trish asked excitedly as she grasped the concept that her two best friends were finally acting on their not so subtle feelings and all because of a love note.


Ally gave Trish both notes with a confused face; "What do you mean that Austin is in love with me? He never gave me any indication that he feels anything but friendship towards me? An example of that would be the time where Austin and Dez read my journal and thought I had a crush on Austin. Do you remember how freaked out he was? So there is no way that Austin loves me so why get my hopes up?"


Trish looks at her best friend with an "Are you kidding me?" look. "So what I'm getting is that you and Austin are going to continue to play dumb to the fact that you two are perfect for each other, and let poor Dez and me suffer through having to play matchmaker instead of concentrating on Austin's career. How unfair!"


"It is not our fault that you and Austin are so afraid to admit your guys' not so hidden love because you both worry you'll lose your friendship, which I'm here to tell you there is a 0% chance of that happening. You both are too scared to admit your true feelings for each other that if you guys aren't careful you will lose the other person to someone who isn't afraid to show their love for them to the world and then where will you both be? Do you really want to risk losing someone that might be your true love? I don't think so. So girl, for the love of all things holy, girl up and go get your man" Trish said with the exasperation and attitude she was famous for dishing out to the people she loves.


Ally stared at Trish with an open mouth in total surprise that she wasn't as subtle as she thought she was so that her best friend already knew how she felt for Austin. Cause if Trish knew her true feelings for Austin then there is a greater chance that Austin already know how she felt and was probably trying to come up with ways to let her down easy.


"Oh great. Since you and Dez already know my feelings for Austin, that means he does too. He doesn't like me like that, he just sees me as a friend and that is all we will ever be. We are destined to be with other people and I will have to accept that" Ally said in sad voice as the image of Austin with another girl made her heart sad.


"Oh sure Austin doesn't like you as more than a friend. Then why did he sing a song written by a 5 year old in front of thousands of people just so you wouldn't be embarrassed by Tilly or freak out at the number of people watching the "competition? Or have a framed picture of you that he brought to the Internet Music awards, according to Nelson. Or spent so much energy trying to find things you guys could do together that you both would enjoy on your "Austin-Ally" day, though I think Austin wanted you to act scared during Zaliens 5 so he could comfort you.


Or "assisted" you with coloring outside the lines? Or tried to get you on camera during "It's Me, It's You"? I suspect that during the songs he sings such as the song I just mentioned or "It's Not a Love Song" he is thinking of a shy little brunette the entire time which is why his ritual during his performances is to pick you out of the crowd, lock eyes with you for a couple of seconds, point and wink at you before returning to the audience. I even think someone did a double look at you in your dress for the Music awards. Need I go on?


And girl don't make me list the number of times, Dez and I have caught you two flirting cause that is another long list of events that you two thought you were alone. Nope us matchmakers were in the shadows watching for sweet moments like that" Trish said as she alternated between putting her hands on her hips and staring point blank at her best friend daring her to question her findings and looking up to heaven for strength at the never ending battle of trying to convince her friend that the guy she was head over heels for was just as love-struck as she was.


"First of all I don't flirt; I don't even know how to flirt. I simply interact with Austin who flirts with me while I blush like crazy and try to keep my fast beating heart from jumping out of my chest. And so what if I have fallen madly in love with Austin with his kind eyes, hair that makes me want to push it out of his beautiful eyes that I can stare deep into for hours and see his soul in, the smile that makes me melt like butter on a summer's day and his personality that makes you want to know every inch of it to see what makes him tick, it doesn't make a difference cause there is no way that he loves me like I love him" Ally said over the piece of hair in her mouth as she nervously chewed on it at having her deepest secret being put into the open.


"Ah-ha, so you admit that you love Austin. I wonder what Romeo has to gush, I mean say, about you when asked why he loves you, it is probably said with all the emotion and love he has in that pop star body of his and Dez has probably heard it like a million times already. Now that you know that your Dream Boy loves you as much as you do, we have to figure out how to let Lover boy know that you love him and that he wasn't at all subtle that he is your secret admirer.


But to do that you need to have a little fun driving him nuts with your flirtations, which I will help you with, cause come on you know I'm the Queen of driving people nuts. We just need to find your inner flirt," Trish said while rubbing her hands together as she thought of all the things Ally could do to drive Austin nuts until he finally couldn't take it any longer, caves and tells Ally he loves her.


Then Ally will do the same, they'll kiss and end up being one of those couples that makes people gag and roll their eyes at their open displays of affection and love like kissing, giggling over inside jokes, hold hands and whatever else couples do. Even though Trish was kind of dreading seeing that all the time whenever she hung out with Austin and Ally she also knew that her two best friends belonged together and if watching the two of them being in love to the point that it made her wish she had someone special in her life, then it would be worth it.


"Now the first thing you need to do is—"

Love & Letters Chapter 2

Love & Letters

Chapter Two

A/N: First of all I would like to say thanks to all my reviewers for their kind words of encouragement and support; lillypad6, ctiger, falling.up12, WiseGirl-AC, Bubblelina15, Gabby, x KawaiiAngel x, QueenSerenityRose, TwilightsucksHProcks, emeralgreenlove, chelsea, Hannahpie45, GabbyDJesus, i love ross lynch, Emma, Tenshi Yami- Angel of Darkness, Alphinia, and theepiclavapenguin.

I also want to say that I never meant to insult anyone. I just wrote my opinions and views in my story, that's all. So sorry if anyone took offense to anything I wrote. Hopefully people will like this chapter as much as the 1st one. I was expecting like 2 reviews and was surprised and excited about all the author alerts, story alerts and reviews I got.

Like always I don't own any of the characters, just the concept, so please don't sue. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter and no one died in anticipation or suspense of wanting to know what happens next :) because I never want anyone to die because of me. Please review cause reviews make me :D.

Now onto the story;



I have been thinking of the mysterious but sweet note all night, every spare moment when I wasn't thinking of Austin's latest song, working at the store or making dinner for dad and me. I was dedicated to trying to figure out who my secret admirer could be. It had be someone who works at the mall cause he mentioned that he had seen me around but there were so many stores in the mall, I only know that because Trish seems to have worked in almost every store in the mall and yet there always seems to be a store that she hasn't been fired from.

My secret admirer could be anyone. I have gone over the note with a fine toothed comb, going over each and every line trying to find a clue, no matter how small, as to the identity of the guy who has loved me from first sight with no luck. This guy is really good at keeping his identity a secret to me until he feels he is ready to come out of the shadows and show me his face.

Once again my fingers are crossed that by some miracle, it is Austin. My heart feels lighter with love, my insides twist and clutch with hope and there is lots of praying at the thought that the man of my dreams being just as much in love with me as I am with him until reality sets in that there is a small chance that it is Austin. Oh well a girl can dream can't she?

I love Trish like a sister but I could die from embarrassment if I hear her tease and josh me once more about how Austin and I are completely oblivious about how we both are madly and hopelessly in love with each other. According to her, even Dez knows how Austin and I feel about each other, and Dez, though I love him like a brother, can be a bit dense when it comes to things happening around him.

Trish and I have sat down and went over the list of the guys in the mall our age that we knew of that could possibly be my secret admirer; like Dallas the cell phone accessory guy who, from the only conversation we ever had, was completely boring; he kept referring to me as "babe", he kept checking out other girls in the mall as he was talking to me as well as checking out his hair and teeth in the mirror on the cart and when I tried to come up with a topic to talk about all I would get is a, "whatever" attitude.

I have been praying that he isn't my admirer, though I doubt he would ever have the brain power to come up with something so romantic. See when I get stressed, my mean streak comes out, but I really blame Trish for putting the idea of speaking my mind in my head and to let out the bad girl Ally hiding inside me.

There is no way that I'm telling my dad about the note because he would totally freak out. I'm his little girl and any guy who wants to date me has to get through a game of 20 questions, and they aren't easy questions, they are to the point, frank and kind of intrusive like " What are your intentions with my daughter?", "What are your life goals?", "How are your relationships with the women in your life?" and so on.

I know that dad just wants to make sure that the guy who eventually takes his little Princess away from him will love and honor me like he does but also treat me like he treated mom before she died, like an equal, his best friend and partner in life and everything that happens in their lives together. But I don't want him to freak out and go all "Dad-zilla" before I find out who is my secret admirer and decide how I feel about him, so for now the notes are a secret.

Before I closed my eyes, I felt a thrill of excitement at getting another romantic and sweet note from the guy and possibly a vital clue to his identity tomorrow. I couldn't wait for the next day. I didn't have to wait long for the next note; the next note was attached to the drum set, on the middle drum. I wonder how the guy had the chance to post the note. I was only upstairs in Austin and mine's practice room for a few minutes to turn on the store's lights, that didn't give him much room to get in and out without anyone seeing him.

I began to read the note which was scrawled in pretty nice handwriting, it wasn't fancy or anything, but I could tell that this guy really took the time to write this note in as nice handwriting as he could which made me feel like he was doing everything he could to make me feel special.

"Ally,

As I mentioned before, I think I fell in love with you as soon as your beautiful chocolate pools met my boring brown ones. I felt a connection between you and me at the slightest touch of our hands; I hope that my large, clumsy and rough hand didn't tarnish your smaller, delicate, and soft like silk hand.

With that connection, I knew that I needed to spend more time with the earth angel I had met to see how deeper and stronger our connection can become so I would think of the smallest reasons to see you. I heard that you are a really good singer with an angelic singing voice who writes songs from the heart and the experiences that your adorable shyness won't allow you to discover for yourself unless you have a very extraverted person in your life who is willing to be a "pain in the butt" to get the world to know the sweetheart that is Allyson Dawson.

To do that someone might have to do something big and kind of wrong like "borrow" one of your wonderful song and perform it online. That will give me the chance for you to search me out and come into my personal domain aka my home.

But when we meet again be prepared for me to sound like a total nerd who says the most random and dumbest things when an angel aka you tries to talk to me cause who can really speak coherent words with someone as beautiful and fiery as you in the room? But don't worry sweetie, I will make sure that I find you and apologize for my lack of speech and try to make up for my past disregards to build me up as a great guy that really wants to get to know you and hopefully be the man of your dreams.

That will mean that we will have to spend all night writing one song, you waking me up from my catnap with symbols which knocks me off the counter then me shocking you with a magic shock finger and ending up with us sitting side by side at the piano with our hands brushing and sparks flying through both of our bodies.

Then we have an awkward moment where we see whether we hug which means more sparks as you enter my inner sanctuary and I can breathe in your sweet scent of flowers that make me feel like I am lying in a meadow of spring flowers. Or we could go the traditional way and just shake hands though I am sure that the sparks will fly no matter what we do or what body part touch, I didn't mean for that to sound dirty, I swear.

We seem to have that secret spark that every couple hopes and prays to have in theirrelationship and I know our spark and connection will last for a long time, as friends or as sweethearts cause we have the strong base of being best friends who know every detail of each other's lives and what makes the other tick that will hopefully flow into the next step of becoming sweeties who will last forever cause I have a feeling we have a good chance of being the couple that last.

That is the end of this letter; I hope I didn't bore you too much. This is what happens when a guy has a chance to open his heart to the woman he loves. So bye for now though to be honest I'm never too far away from you, that sounds so stalker-like, but you draw me into you like a moth to the flame. So until the next time, stay the same, sweet, sensitive, caring, adorably dorky, shy and beautiful young woman I know and love and never ever change.

I love you,

Your Secret Admirer

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo"

Once again this guy has made my heart go pitter patter, stop for a second then speed up with each sentence I read. I mean who wouldn't? With every sentence this sweet, sensitive and romantic man painted a picture that reached into my chest and touched my heart of how much this guy must really love me to make up possible scenarios that could happen if we ever met and shared some sort of connection.

Even I'm not that naive not to see that my secret admirer's scenarios matched the history of Austin and mine's first meeting and our first interactions with each other. And only Trish and Dez are the only ones, besides me and Austin, who know the details of those two days and believe me they wouldn't spill those details to anyone because it isn't anyone's business but Austin and mine. Plus they both know Austin and I would kick their butts to Kingdom Come if they told anyone.

I still remember every detail from those two important days, I mean it isn't every day when a girl goes to work like any other day and meets her dream man. I was writing in my songbook about how I wished with all my heart to make a difference in people's lives with my songs, inspire people to be the best possible versions of themselves and rise against the adversities and challenges that life brings them, if only I could get over my stage fright or that would never happen.

I heard someone playing the drums loudly and when I glanced over, I saw a really, really cute boy who looked about my age playing the drums with something other than drumsticks with another red haired boy filming him. I knew I had to stop him cause like the sign behind him said there was no playing the instruments so I rushed up to him and whistled really loudly in his ear.

The words I wanted to say got stuck in my throat for a moment as the cutest guy I had ever seen turned towards me, my mind didn't register that I was holding his wrist still, all I could focus on where the pair of brown eyes that were locked on me. I, of course, told him of the rules and then gave him a last glance as I walked back to the counter.

If I had my way I would stay with the boys and try to get to know the white blond haired boy because the moment I touched his wrist, I felt sparks going all through my body, just like you read about in every romance novel. I had never felt sparks from the other boys my age who come into the store to buy musical instruments for the school band; I wanted to see how far these sparks went.

I got my chance when after shooing Austin and Dez out of the store after Dez, trying to show off, tried to play a harmonica through a tuba and shot the harmonica into a poor old lady's throat and almost choked her, thank God she's okay, Austin popped up beside me in my practice room.

He was so nice to compliment a song he had only heard a bit of before I kicked him out, I didn't want to kick him out but my fright of people having a chance to criticize me made me push him out the door praying he wouldn't be swayed by my attitude and come back to the store.

I didn't have to wait long. The next day Trish downloaded "Break down the Walls" which I didn't know that he had stolen until then, so of course, I had to confront him. I wasn't mad at him for very long cause he was just so cute, in a dorky way, with his merchandise that he and Dez had made by themselves so I was trying really hard to stay mad at him so he would know that even though he is super cute, he couldn't go around stealing other people's work.

I even tried to go to the Helen's Show to get my voice heard, what I was thinking of me speaking in front of thousands of people because I haven't been able to speak or sing in front of anyone, I can't even sing in front of Trish and I have known her since kindergarten. I was so embarrassed that I went to the wrong studio and called Austin "a weasel that wasn't even cute".

I was happy when Austin came to Sonic Boom and asked me to help him write another song cause it meant I got to spend more time with the cutest guy I ever saw and have another chance to get to know him more, I was thrilled to find out that while Austin may have a bit of an egomaniac problem sometimes deep down he is sweet, funny and fun to be around.

I enjoyed spending the night with Austin; we laughed, joked around, crumpled up lots of paper with the rejected lyrics and woke each other up the fun and different way; me crashing cymbals in Austin's ear and him shocking me up with Trish's stupid shock finger. But finally our song was complete.

I bet Austin and I looked dorky, trying to decide whether to shake hands or hug, either one would be fine with me. Either way I would be able to see if sparks would fly between us like at our first meeting and every time our hands or thighs touched when playing the piano but sadly none of it happened.

Austin was really sweet to try to push me into the spotlight at the show and for saying that I wrote the song he was going to sing live but I will never ever live down the embarrassment of me trying to hide from the laughing and probably judging me audience and trying to run away from the Helen Show stage, heck I even hide my head in the drums as I crawled off the stage.

That video made it to the #1 spot on YouTube and last time I checked there were a ton of viewers and lots more comments, not that I ever read any of them because they are probably all saying what a dork I was.

The only good thing that came out of me embarrassing myself is that Austin asked me to be his songwriter, which meant that I would be able to spend more time with this cutie and learn as much about him that he was willing to tell and show me. Right then and there I had the feeling that he and I will become the best of friends and I couldn't wait for that to happen.

Back to the present, I will need more evidence that Austin is my secret admirer before I confront him about his romantic and sweet notes that bring up wonderful memories that I will never forget. But if my secret admirer keeps bringing up the wonderful memories in his letters like he has I might have all the evidence I need to finally get the man of my dreams sooner then he planned (fingers crossed).

Love & Letters

Love and Letters

Chapter One

A/N: This is my first story so I hope and pray it is good enough to match the best Austin/Ally writers I have ever had the privillage of reading. If you don't like it, please don't write mean stuff about it; try to find at least one good thing about my story. I have seen the first two episodes about 10x :D and quickly fell in love with Austin and Ally. I mean who wouldn't? Sorry if everyone is OCC. This may seem sad so sorry about that but the ideas were in my head and needed to be taken out. Please please review. I want to say thank you to my beta and friend lillypad6.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters cause if I did then I would made more Austin/Ally adorable, sweet and slightly romantic moments until I let them date. Thanks in advance.



I know I am not like the average young lady. I don't obsess over the latest fashions, like wearing the right clothes and accessories makes me superior to everyone else and it is the end of the world if I'm seen in an outfit that was "fashionable" weeks ago. The girls at my school change clothes like every period and if one hair is out of place they have a major freak out, complete with high pitched screaming, whining and lots of pouting.

I wear clothes that are comfy and easy to care for, and that are picked randomly from my closet, I try to mix and match clothes that others might think would never go together but somehow I make them work. I spend like 10 minutes getting ready and that's for hair, clothes and shoes instead of the usual 1 hour morning routine that most girls do.

I know I'm not exactly a guy magnet; I'm shy, slightly boring (I like pickles and cloud watching), anti-fun (according to Trish, Dez and Austin), have my dorky moments when I say and do the dorkiest things; like chew on my hair and trip over my own feet when I'm nervous, stutter and say random stuff to hide my shyness and nervousness about the situation. Wow, even I describe myself as lame and pathetic. Saddening.

I don't get it; young woman who are immature (they make a big deal over the smallest things not worth fussing over), ditsy, manipulate people around them to do their bidding, cheat on their boyfriends when someone more physically appealing comes along, and use their looks to get ahead in life instead of going the normal route of using their brains, talents and perseverance to get all the guys.

I mean I don't sit around and dream about finding the perfect guy for me and then us living happily ever after; I have better things to do with my time, which pretty much consists of writing songs for Austin, working at Sonic Boom and trying to have a social life with my three best friends. I don't have time for love, I want to be established in my career and have my own life before I let love into my life.

I mean I might not be one of those hopeless romantic types that most girls are, you know; waiting for their Prince Charming that will sweep them off their feet and "save" them from all their troubles. But I do have the dream of finding a guy who loves me for me, insecurities, immense stage fright, boringness and all. My dream guy won't try to change any part of me; he will accept me for who I am and love me for it. I'm one step in that direction, I mean I know Austin and Dez love me for me, even if they tease me mercilessly that I really need "fun lessons" to lighten up, but I know that the boys are just teasing and love me like a sister.

I have to admit though that I have totally gone the girly route; I have fallen in love with someone who is my total opposite yet perfect guy. I mean this guy loves music as much as me and is determined to go against his parents' wishes of giving up a "bazillion in one" chance at making something of himself in the music industry and make his dreams come true. This guy is also sweet, though sometimes he can be a bit arrogrant but he plays it off as just being confident in himself and his abilities, something I wish I had and puts the people closest to him first, like family and friends.

He is sensitive, though he tries really hard to hide that side, kind, a really good friend (he would do pretty much anything and everything for his friends even if it's not the popular choice), is fun to be around and lastly when I'm around him; I feel safe, though most of the time, since I started listening to my heart, things have been a little awkward whenever he is closer to me then "best friends" should be.

In those moments I can really feel the sparks that shoot from his body to mine and don't get me started on the times when he is talking to me and I don't hear anything he says cause I'm too busy staring into those beautiful chocolate orbs of goodness that makes you melt. Pair that with blonde hair that just begs me to push it out of his eyes or play with it, his perfect for hugging height that makes you feel safe and secure when you are in his arms, and his gorgeous, million dollar smile that brightens up a room whenever it spreads across his angel-like face, and I'm a girl in love.

In case you haven't noticed, I am taking about Austin. I know what you are thinking; why would someone as awesome, amazing and all the other qualities that I listed above even have anything but feelings of friendship towards someone like me? And that is the #1 reason I will never ever tell Austin that I love him. All he will ever know is that I love him the way I love Dez; as a brother. Wow, that is sad.

Anyway, I was writing in my journal/songbook at the front counter of Sonic Boom, waiting for the store to open and trying to hide what I was writing from a curious Austin; who was determined to see it over my shoulder no matter how many times I slightly playful pushed him aside and tried to cover the book with my body or hand.

Austin and I were still goofing around when Trish came into the store, announcing that she had gotten a job at the local bulk barn and that there was a note stuck to the door that was addressed to me. I don't remember seeing anyone near the store though to be honest; I was paying more attention to Austin to notice anyone else so if someone came to the door I didn't notice.

The note was on white paper with a flower border and in nice handwriting was poem:

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

There is not a day that passes

When I don't think of you.

I have loved you since the first sight

But what stopped me was my fright.

I have decided today is the day

I will tell you why I love you in every way.

Each day a note of love will come to you

and hopefully you will know that my love is true.

From
,

Your Secret Admierer.

After reading the poem, I could feel my heart practically melt with happiness. The note was so beautiful, sweet and romantic; it was like the note was written by Prince Charming for his Princess in a fairy tale or a romantic movie that Trish and I love to watch. The boys are always griping at us for making them watch chick flicks with them. Though, I liked cuddling up to Austin with my head on his shoulder as I got absorbed into the romance of the movie, well that was the excuse that I give to anyone who makes a big deal about Austin and me being all snuggly together.

Trish has been teasing me that I have fallen head over heels in love with the singer of my songs. That girl may not be good at keeping a job but she definitely is a master of the heart. She has been dropping hints to Austin like crazy since the day I finally broke down and confessed my love for Austin to her, no matter how many times I tried to distract her and give her the "shut up" motions with my hands and mouth.

I want to be the one who tells Austin that I love him not my best friend, though I do love her. Now all I need is the courage to get Austin alone and open my heart to him and hopefully he has the same feelings as me. I would love it if Austin was my secret admirer, that would be the most romantic thing to ever happen in my life, like my own fairy tale, but even Austin admitted that he wasn't very poetic or creative in writing. So unfortuantely, I will have to find this secret admirer and let him down gently. He might be one of the most romantic guys ever but I have a feeling that it would take more then a few romantic and sweet notes to get Austin out of my heart. I guess I will have to wait for the next love note and see if I can guess who my secret admirer is.
