devin: oh and hey ! how're you doing ? we haven't talked much since we all got back and that's a real crime

alanna : are you okay ?

                      Laughter made it harder to hold the camera steady in her hands, no matter how hard she tried to point it towards the other to get a memorable, yet clear photograph. ❝Is it at all possible for you to take a picture without making some absolutely ridiculous face or being outright outrageous?❞ Yet the question was given through that same warm laughter as blue colors locked onto the screen of her camera, scanning through the many pictures. ❝It’s like a joke flipbook filled with ridiculous faces.❞ 

ALANNA : hey sorry i snuck out this morning ALANNA : my mom called and asked me to come over for breakfast ALANNA : didn’t wanna wake u ! i figure u needed ur  sleep ALANNA : last night was crazy lol 

ALANNA :  not to be clingy or anything ALANNA : but i kinda miss you :) ALANNA : heeh

if alanna had to do this whole fake relationship thing, she was happy it was at least with austin. they had already been sleeping together, so it just made sense. she felt more than horrible for asking, knowing how embarrassing these things can be if it came out that it was a pr stunt. but her parents wouldn’t let that happen, especially since this whole thing was their idea anyway. a sunday morning walk through central park together was a perfect way to start the whole thing, and feed the press something to work with, so that was exactly what she was doing with the boy. “thank you, again, for doing this,” she mentions as she stops walking, while looking down at their already interlocked hands. it officially started when she noticed the flash behind them, a pap quickly snapping pictures of them standing there holding hands. alanna’s quick to continue walking along the continued path, still holding his hand. “can we go get coffee ?” she asks, offering him a small smile.

                    Her attention had been half split between the now empty bowl in her lap and the movie playing on the television, yet she couldn’t tell you two seconds of the actual movie they had been watching. Unsure focus was just off that day or if her mind was too busy wandering other places. Either way, it was no wonder her attention pulled away from the flashing screen and towards a thought in the back of her mind. ❝Oh, right, I have those pictures from Bora Bora you said you wanted. I threw them in a box and almost completely forgot. That would have been awful.❞ The thought had her setting the empty bowl on the table before leaning over to reach for the box she had set on one table beside the couch, pulling it over to set it in her lap to dig through it with the other beside her. Finding it silly how she had set it there so she wouldn’t forget, only to end up almost forgetting, anyway. ❝They turned out great, if you don’t count the few blurry ones.❞ Though they would be kept, all because the blur was because of laughing too much and there was never a problem with laughing. ❝But I made copies so you could take the ones you wanted.❞
