Eight months laterAustin's POV:"So have you informed your boss?" I asked, rubbing her feet which were swollen. She glared at me and continued to go through her magazine. Ever since she got pregnant, I have been nagging her to quit working or at least take maternity leave for nine months but she kept arguing with me saying it doesn't work that way."Here we go, silent treatment again." I let out a sigh and went on top to lie down beside her."We talked about this already, Austin. I'll be taking my maternity leave next month," she replied, making me frown. I didn't like it that she was working. I was worried about her as she always kept complaining about how tired she was when she came home. That's right, she moved in with me, not after a huge fight though. She thought I asked her to move in only because of the pregnancy which was obviously not true. Heck, I already picked out a ring for that woman and was planning to propose after the pregnancy."Move aside, I need to fucking pee for
"Is this necessary?" I whined as Ashley kept pulling my hair, trying to style it. She kept nagging me to go clubbing with her and I was not interested at all. I was worried about my baby. Even though Liam and Anna were babysitting him and Jane, I wasn't convinced. He was just two months old and I was worried sick already."Of course it is, we need a break from all this stress and responsibilities," she reasoned and continued to work on my hair."But Ethan?" I started and she interrupted me."For the millionth time, Ethan will be fine, Emma." She rolled her eyes and I pouted, "I'm leaving Jane with them too, we can worry together later," she joked and I shook my head with a small smile, knowing how stubborn she could be."Alright, I hope Austin comes home soon. He said he will be working late today. Of all days, today," I huffed in annoyance, adjusting my makeup. Even though I was excited to go out and have fun with Ash, there was a tiny bit of worry, deep down."Alright, I'm done." She
I could see the beautiful New York skyline from my office as I stood behind the huge glass mirror, losing myself in the mesmerizing vivid colors as the sun was setting. I smiled in satisfaction, feeling peaceful and relaxed. It was almost dawn and I decided to have a drink at the club near my office. I like to drink alone and mostly preferred to be in the company of no one. I was currently interning at my dad's company and was going take over the hotel business after my graduation which was tomorrow and I couldn't be happier that he trusted me to carry on his legacy. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door."Mr.Willams?" My dad's secretary, Gina knocked on the door. I cleared my throat and asked her to come in."Your dad asked you to be here early tomorrow to discuss the documents regarding the company take ove
“But I have to study, Ashley?” I whined through the phone, trying to convince my best friend that I was not coming to the game night. She used to live with me in my grandmother’s house but recently she moved in with her boyfriend, Jake, and wanted me to come to their traditional game nights. They have it every week and I liked hanging out with them until Jake’s friend Dan started coming to the game nights and hit on me often.I didn’t like him that much.“You always study and I know you are smarter than the rest
I rushed out of the elevator, trying to get a hold of him before he could escape. Everything was coming back to my mind in bits and pieces. Of course, I couldn't remember the conversation but I was damn sure he dropped me home. I can't believe it has been almost a year. He must have recognized me earlier and that's why he had that smug look on his face all evening. God, I hope I didn't embarrass myself too much that day."Austin, wait," I ran like a crazy woman and saw him unlocking his car. He turned around at the sound of my voice as I stood in front of him, trying to catch my breath.
"I'll just follow you to the club since I have my car," I said as we walked towards the parking lot."I'll have someone drop it at your house. Get in my car," he said in an authoritative tone and I raised my eyebrows."Fine," I rolled my eyes and got in. We drove in silence and I kept my gaze outside the window the whole time.
The next morning I woke up to find myself naked with a firm grip around my waist. It felt so good that I moaned involuntarily, inhaling the woody scent which was so familiar. That's when the events of last night came rushing back to my head. I got up with a jerk and pulled up the sheets to cover myself.Shit, shit, shit, stupid Emma.This was a huge mistake. Damn me and my stupid body, to give in to my desires. This was going to be so awkward. I turned to my side to find Austin sleeping peacefully and trailed my eyes all over his chiseled chest. I remembered how amazing last night was and blushed at the thought of it.
"Au--Austin? What are you doing here?" I stuttered, shock evident in my tone. He was wearing a black jacket and white T-shirt underneath it with cargo pants, that hung dangerously low on his hips. His hair was disheveled, making him look even more hotter and those hazel brown eyes bore into mine.Damn, this guy can pull off any attire.He looked so young and sexy in casual clothes and I found myself drooling at the sight of him."Who is this?" he pointed to Liam with raised eyebrows, not answering my question.
