Chapter 10 - Sorry , your smile made me forget my vocabulary . Austin . Austin . Austin . His name kept repeating like a broken record in my brain as I stared at him , dumbstruck and a little breathless . Did he know ? Did he know that I was feeling dizzy looking at him ? Did he know that he was making my heart beat like it was doing a marathon ? Did he know that for some reason my knees were feeling weak ? Did he know that my lungs and brain were forgetting their functions just because of him ? God , I hope he didn't . He was smiling at me , shaking his head . God , that smile- " Cupcake ? " I snapped out of my trance and blinked at him , fully registering that he was actually speaking to me for the last minute or so . " Huh ? Sorry , your smile made me forget my vocabulary , " I blurted and immediately slapped a hand over my mouth as my face turned red . s ** t . " I mean , you know I just spaced out for a while because you know I was pretty stunned to see you here because I didn't expect to see you for real ever especially after you told me you were Austin Hamilton and I googled you , yes , I admit I googled you , but I'm not a stalker I promise . I mean I don't usually google people I dial by mistake and befriend but I'm pretty sure I sound like a deranged stalker right now and you would be pretty much questioning your sanity to have ever trying to know me and- " He placed his finger on my lips looking beyond amused . X I closed my eyes in embarrassment . First I space out and then I go and have a verbal diarrhea in front of him . Way to make a good first impression Sophia . " Now I definitely know I've met my cupcake . " Austin chuckled . I opened my eyes feeling colour spread to my cheeks . Oh , Austin you're killing me . I looked around to see a very amused Trish and two very confused Aerin and Jace . " Wait , you two know each other ? " Aerin asked , completely bewildered . Austin shrugged . " Yeah..it's a long story . " A long , embarrassing story . อ IL F O < 1/5 s Chapter 10 Sorry , your smile made me forget my vocabulary Trish extended her hand to Austin . " I'm Trish , nice to meet you Austin . I've heard a lot about you ." Austin returned her handshake . " Likewise . " +8 Fonts7 I still couldn't shake over the fact that it was him standing in front of me . And I couldn't shake the weird feeling I was getting from just standing near to him like suddenly all my senses were awake and I was a little out of breath . Once Austin finished chatting to Trish he turned towards me and smiled widely . Damn , those dimples are killing me . He held my shoulders and sized me up properly . " My God … it's really you . Sophia Colleen Martell . It's a pleasure to finally meet you . " I shook my head like a weird bobble head . " It's great to meet you too … but Austin how did you know it was me ? " Austin grinned . " It was all co - incidental . Aerin had been after me to come with them for this wedding and when I heard it was Alex Donain and Blake Rivers ' wedding , it clicked to me that it might be the same wedding you were talking about and then Aerin couldn't stop gushing about her editor Sophia which again cemented my doubt and then when you started rambling I knew I had found you . " I blushed . " So , neurotic rambling is my identity now . " Austin shrugged . " Hey , I find it adorable ." I smiled . There's a first for everything , after all . Somebody tapped my shoulder , I turned around to see Madison , Alex and Blake's planner , she gestured me to go to the stage for the song . Right . Now that Austin was here , what were the odds that he doesn't witness me act like a complete clown ? I looked up at Austin's face , silently willing my butterflies to calm down . " I..er..um … it's time for my song . So , let's just hope I don't end up making a complete fool of myself . " Austin chuckled . " You won't . Remember what I told you ? Your voice is beautiful . " Now my face probably resembled a beetroot as I fumbled for thanks . " You I thank . " I blurted . Great , now I went Yoda on him . " I..I mean thank you . " I corrected myself and Austin started laughing much to my utter embarrassment . " You seriously are something else ." I turned away from his figure , shaking my head as the zoo of butterflies in my belly went wild . 2/5 < Chapter 10- Sorry , your smile made me forget my vocabulary +8 Points 2 I moved to the stage and was handed my mic and positioned in the centre of the stage , as the crowd trained their eyes on me . I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked at the sea of faces in front of me , but there was one face that stood out like a sunflower in a field of dandelions , Austin . He was grinning goofily and giving me a thumbs up . He's such a cartoon . I chuckled and rolled my eyes . The starting notes of the song started playing and I inhaled and prepared myself to sing . There I was again tonight Forcing laughter , faking smiles Same old tired lonely place Walls of insincerity , Shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your face All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you I looked up to see Austin's face and felt another set of butterflies explode in my belly as he gave me his breathtaking smile . God , I hope I don't mess up Your eyes whispered , " Have we met ? " Across the room your silhouette Start's to make its way to me The playful conversation starts Counter all your quick remarks Like passing notes in secrecy And it was enchanting to meet you All I can say is I was enchanted to meet your This night is sparkling , don't you let it go . I'm wonderstruck , blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you Suddenly , the lyrics started to get meaningful for my situation too . All our weird conversations , our silly jokes , all the time spent in talking endlessly . What would have happened if that night I had not messed up with the digits of Trish's number ?

There was something , something that I couldn't pinpoint that Austin made me feel and I was liking it , honestly I'm not going to base off Austin as my possible Prince Charming , because I'm pretty sure handsome , successful , polite , unearthly guys would not be caught dead dating dysfunctional , neurotic rambling , awkward girls like me . But I really hope he'd stick around , maybe even become a real friend . This is me praying that This was the very first page Not where the story line ends My thoughts will echo your name Until I see you again Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you Oh god , I seriously mean those lyrics now .

And all I could think was- Austin Richard Hamilton . You've truly enchanted me .
