Austin pov
I lay on my bed, thinking about what my life was going to be from tomorrow onwards.
I hated my parents, I hated everyone around me, I was supposed to be making friends, going to school like a normal kid but being a Mafia King is not normal in itself.
The party was in full swing downstairs. I wanted to sleep and put an end to all this thinking- to let tomorrow commence but this stupid mafias like to catch up.
I needed to clear my head, I needed to get out of this hell hall and so I took my jacket, opened my balcony door and I jumped down landing straight to the ground. I made a run towards the gate.
The guards patrolling notice me but they knew better then to mess with me.
I ran out of the gate, running towards my forest spot. I always come to the forest whenever I am not myself.
As I was already inside the forest I calm down myself. The fresh air and the smell of the rain hits me as I started to take a stroll along the familiar way. In a distance I saw a little girl in a white dress running.
I followed her out of curiosity with a few more runs and she clumsily fells down. She started to cry after a few minutes she turn towards me as I steps on the dry leaves I find my eyes going big 'gosh Austin you could have been more discrete' and like the girl she is she scream and I don't know what happened but I find myself covering her mouth.
She kept on mumbling incoherent words, she was shaking badly out of fear and I felt the need to just take away the fear, specifically Her FEAR.
I bend down and there I saw the most beautiful eyes staring right back at me.
“Stop crying, I am not going to hurt you, beautiful girls don't cry" I said trying to clam her down. And shockingly she did.
After some moments I heard the little girl talk in a timid voice “who are you?” said the little girl.
“Somebody who will never hurt you”, the little girl pull away form my embrace and look at me smiling and then in there I know what love was.
Something wet fell on my face and I noticed that it was raining so I took her hand, “Follow me, it looks like it's going to rain badly again”.
She nodded her head as a yes, so we ran, running deeper into the woods.
I rush home like my ass was on fire, I unlock my door, guess June isn't home yet, I went straight to the kitchen and open the fridge, took one bottle of cold water and drank it hastily. Leaning my back on the wall I close my eyes, and put my hand on my heart which was beating faster then it's normal rate, I felt a tear roll down my cheeks. Following the trail of the wall I sat down on the floor of my kitchen, weeping for the man I have waited for years to come back. A part of me felt relief yet a part of me felt annoyed. I have waited for this day, yet the feeling for him to also feel the pain was stronger. “Austin” I mumble his name over and over again. My stomach felt so abnormal. It had being 10 years and she didn't except to meet him in such condition. Him just popping out and surprising her was not on her plan. After so many years she still felt the same old feelings. He had grown into a Man now and she wonder if he belonged to&nb
Austin cleared his throat and said, “come I have a place to take you”, he stood up and gave his hand for me to hold. I look up and stare at the given hand and back to his eyes, without holding his hand I stood up and walk past him. We went outside but he took a different way out of the restaurant, more like the back of the restaurant. A car was parked outside and Mr. Driver was there near the car. Austin opened the door for me and I got in, he took the keys from the Mr driver and jog towards the driver sit and we drove off. “Austin, where are we going” I groan for the fifth time. “Soon Little girl soon” Austin replied. “you have been saying that from before, soon is taking so long and god if you call me Little girl one more time I promise I will murder you”, I replied with annoyance lacing through my voice. I huffed and hold my arms around my chest and look outside the window. He chuckled to what I said and mumble something und
“Why?” I asked after calming myself a bit. He hugs me tighter and replies: “It was a sudden decision, I had to leave because something came up in the family and I had to leave immediately which made me unable to tell you anything, I am sorry, if I could turn back the time I would have undone what I did”. “when you left I thought of many things as to why you left, I thought you hated me Austin—I lived my life thinking that you hated me and that is why, you left without telling me anything”. I said crying hysterically. “I am sorry Little girl, I promise I will not repeat the same mistake, forgive me. I am back and I promise I am not leaving not anymore”. I hugged him tighter “You promise Austin, if you do it again I am never forgiving you and stop calling me Little girl”. His laughter rang through the forest and I felt his body vibrate as he hugs me tighter. “I am happy you came back”. I said to Austin. “I am happy to be back too”,
My eyes nearly pop out of its sockets, I scrunch my face and took the pillow and threw towards his retreating back. He turn slowly oh like those slow-mo like videos with those playful glares, I just took a deep breath and grinned like a 3 year old kids who just received her sweets. "Oh you are so going to regret that, Stace”, he came towards my bed and pull my foot form under the sheets, I let out a surprise sequel and man with that devilish smirk he started to tickle my sides, he knew how ticklish I was over there. Laughing and trying to make him stop tickling me was how my morning went. 30 minutes later.... “No I won’t”, “yes, you will” “No I won’t”, “yes, you will” “No I won’t” “yes, you w...” I threw my fork towards him before he finished his words, which btw he catches the fork spoon like a pro. I huffed, “for the hundred time Austin I won't, I won't and I won't go, end of discussion
We stood there, no words spoken, I noticed he was dressed in a fine suit which for sure must have cost a fortune, he was neatly dress not even a single wrinkle could be detected. I look up and look at his eyes filled with a new kind of glint and I felt lost, yet again I am reminded of all the betrayal and I cleared my throat rather in an unladylike way. And raise my eyebrows up. “uh, please get in”, Austin said. “You have Two Hours to this”, I said and walked past him. He followed me in and mumbling how my temper is still the same and led me towards the table and he pulls out the chair for me to sit. To which your I ignore and sat the opposite side of the pulled chair. Ha!! Take that. “Let’s dine first, you must be famish and talk the talk later, what do you say?” Austin asked trying his hardest to settle my mood I guess. I nodded my head, I wonder what we are supposed to start with, he betraying me or he showing up after 10 years.
A knock on the door at 7 sharp and I found myself waving bye to June and greeting whoever was behind the door.But to my dismay, that arrogant Man for sure knew how to trigger my anger. Oh for the love of heavens, he have the guts to send somebody else to escort me. Ha, you are going to have a hard time dealing with me.“Hello Ms Grey I presume, I shall be escorting you tonight”. Said the bulky man dress in a Suit making him look like those bodyguards we see in the overly dramatic Movies.I nodded my head as a yes and tried smiling politely, as I don't want to come off rude to this humble Man.He open the door for me and I got in.We have been riding the car for like 15 minutes or so and I felt out of place, I am not a person who can stay silent the whole ride. Come-on who, even does that!!“So Mr driver you never told me your name?” I asked.He look at me through the front mirror, he looks shock for a second b
