Chapter 14

Austins POV

The ride began moving and it was quote bumpy, I felt Raph tighten his hand on my lap and I guess he was quite nervous, I placed my hand on his and gave him a little squeeze, I put my left hand on the back of his neck and he looked at me but I looked forward as though nothing had happened because nothing happened. We kept moving up the rails of the roller coaster when Raphael talked to me. "Austin, I have something else I've been hiding from you". This statement of his didn't sit well with me because I hate lies but I kept calm because I was quite curious about whatt he had to say. "I like you, and I don't mean I like you as a friend I mean I like like you". He said with a straight face as though he just said he wanted a drink. "Well I don't know how to reply to that but I'll think about it" I said even though my feelings were screaming at me to say yes, I guess the reason I did this was because I really don't know if we love each other after all we just met like what earlier this week? Things like that weren't supposed to go too fast and yes I know he said we had been together through different life times but that was for him, those were different versions of ourselves. He held my hand and said "well, just know that I'm here for you ok?" He said while looking into my eyes. I looked at his lips and wondered how it would taste, he kept lookong at me and when he noticed I was looking at his lips, he came closer to kiss me but then the rollercoaster began going down at fool speed causing him to fall onto my shoulder. We just stayed there enjoying the ride, I was quite thrilled and so I yelled a few times out of pure joy and ecstasy, I had a feeling that joyful times like this might be rare and so I had to enjoy every single one of it that I got.

Raphaels POV

I looked at him during the ride because to me, he was the most beautiful view, I loved him so much, I just wished he would be left alone so that we could live a happy life. I told him about my feelings, I'm sure he has feelings for me too but he's just being cautious... Or he just wants me to do all the work. Austin was always like that, I liked every version of him but this one where he was shy, strong and childish was my favorite because it made him rely on me. I really hope he gets in tune with his past selves that way, he'll be more open to being with me, he'll feel and remember every thought and emotion he's had in his previous life's. After the ride, he insists on knowing about my family and my home. I told him that they were fine and they lived outside this country. I lived alone well, I had a few subordinates and a butler so not really alone. I asked if he wanted to come to my home but he refused and said he needed to get home. I wanted to go with him but he refused saying he needed time to be alone to process all that had happened. I understood what he was saying, afterall what happened was a lot and many people wouldn't be able to process it, some might even have broken down but not my Austin, he was strong and I loved him so much. I told him I understood and before he left, I gave him a kiss on his lips, it was just a light kiss and it was quite swift but then his cheeks turned pink as he blushed and was really shy, I saw the rainbow colors in his eyes and I knew that I had to get used to this new changes, this hadn't happened before and it seemed the slightest thing he did would be with magic, it seemed he had to be in constant hold and control of his powers and I hated how he had such a huge responsibility on his shoulders but I vowed to help him in any way I could. "Stay safe and think about my proposal okay? " I said to him and he simply nodded, smiled and left.

Austin's POV

Today was crazy, I got home and luckily none of my parents were here, I was tired both physically and emotionally, I didn't know what to do and so I began counting backwards from 10 to 1 with my eyes closed, I counted slowly while I lay on my bed and by the time I reached 1, i was sleeping?, i felt weird, it was almost as though I was in a trance or a dream, I was in what looked like a hallway or a tunnel, there was this light further down and so I followed it. I kept walking down this hallway and soon I got to the end of the hall to see myself?
