The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 58: I’M A LIAR AND A CHEAT
VANESSAMy heart was beating at a fast pace as I ran beside him. The afternoon sun was shining down and there was a slight breeze against us both, which was better when one was working up a sweat. When he suggested coming this morning I was a little apprehensive, but I figured I could use this opportunity to talk to him about important things. Conor isn't a runner! Like not at all! I was even going a little slower so he wouldn't be embarrassed. He's not the type of guy that likes to work out in his spare time, instead, he likes to play video games, read a book or write. That's not a bad thing at all. We just like different things and that's okay. Suddenly he stopped and I stopped too. Colin was head down between his legs gasping for breath just like I figured he would be."I can't — it's too much. You're like a machine."I chuckled."It's just because I'm used to it. Are you okay?""I will be... I need a minute."He stood up straight bracing his hands on his hips. Beads of sweat were
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 59: THE DEBT
VANESSAI slipped my T-shirt on to cover up my sports bra before answering the door to my brother. It's been a couple of months since I've seen Finley and it wasn't like him to drop by unannounced so I was already suspicious about why he's here."Finally! I was beginning to think you weren't going to answer the door."My brother smirked. "How is my sister?""Fin..."I embraced him in a hug while noticing the backpack on his back."I'm good, How are you?""Good I guess, I have no complaints."He pulled back from the hug and looked at me."You look sweaty... Are you just back from the studio?""No, I'm just back from a run in the park. What are you doing here?"I asked as I closed my front door behind him and we walked down my hallway into my open concept living space. "It's been a while so I wanted to check-in and see how you were doing. It's okay if I stay the night, Right?""Sure, Of course. I can set up the spare room for you."I know my brother... he's hiding something. He drops by unann
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 60: AFTER THE CRASH
VANESSAThe call I received reminded me greatly of the one I received the night of my parent's accident. It was as though I was reliving it again... only not with them, but with someone else in my life that I cared for. I had that anxious feeling inside — a feeling that won't leave me until I see him with my own eyes. I know he's okay, well he's alive. I was told by the nurse when she called me to let me know that he was there. Car accident... that's all I know. Jeremy was on his way to me the last time I talked to him and so I waited up for him for over an hour, but of course, he never arrived for obvious reasons.I was escorted by a nurse to his private hospital room after waiting in the crowded waiting area for what felt like forever. I hated hospitals, even though I spent a lot of time here visiting my father. I walked into his room and saw him. I felt relieved, finally seeing him for myself."Jeremy.."I walked towards his bed and he sat up straighter to greet me."Are you okay?
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 61: STICKY SITUATION
JEREMYI hung the phone up and threw it down on the mattress in frustration. Usually, a call from my mechanic wouldn't anger me as much, I only go to the best and money is no issue if something needs fixing. But this call was different from the others... I was expecting him to give me a logical reason as to why the brakes of my car failed the other night, I wanted him to tell me that there was a fault and he fixed the problem. But the problem isn't the car... The problem is the person that has it in for me.Someone tampered with my brakes. There were small cuts made on the brake line is what Fred told me. When I pressed on the brake as I pulled away from the nightclub it felt spongee to me, but I ignored it. I shouldn't have!Someone was trying to kill me! But who -- Who wants me out of the way?I placed my hand on my ribs in pain as I moved toward the edge of the bed, placing my feet on the ground. Vanessa would be at the restaurant by now.... with him and his mother. Playing happy
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 62: BLAME
VANESSAEveryone that was sitting at our table had their eyes on him. Colin's were a little wide in shock. Of course, they were... he didn't expect my Ex husband to show his face at our dinner uninvited. I didn't expect it either. My heart was absolutely pounding in my chest, the rapid beating being all that I could hear. A part of me wished that I didn't wear heels to dinner tonight. If I didn't I think I might've made a run for it.. But I can't run from this. "What are you doing here?"Colin asked and he wasn't being polite about it. Normally he would refrain from being confrontational or in any way insulting or rude. But with Jeremy right now, he clearly didn't care. "I came for her. Vanessa let's talk outside."I was at least thankful that he was trying not to say too much and give away the truth about us before I have my chance. "What's going on here?"Ms Garrett narrowed her eyes at her son for answers. I was hoping that this situation could be avoided in front of her. I hope
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 63: HIS WIFE
VANESSAJeremy's hand cupped my breast and squeezed gently as he moved his dick inside of me. I turned my head into the white satin pillow to muff my moans of pleasure. He took that as an opportunity to nibble on my ear lobe. He knows how I feel about that. Maybe he doesn't remember.I giggled immediately and turned my head to look at him."That tickles."He smirked before capturing my lips in a kiss and swirled his tongue with mine sensually. This is what it's like waking up to him in the morning. Sweaty sex at sunrise lasting hours and making us both late for work. Every touch from him made it worth it. All of it was worth it. I moved my fingers through his dark hair and looked at him, his gorgeous intense green eyes stared back at me. His eyes I'm sure had many people cower at his feet over the years. He wanted it that way. Jeremy flipped us over so he was laying down and I was over him. My hair flowed down in soft morning curls from the shower I had the night before. The shower
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 64: SECRETS TOLD
VANESSAI walked out of Jeremy's office building and into the bustling streets. I told him that I was okay with him staying behind to work some more. He seemed like he needed it and I have some things that I would like to do as well. Things that I would rather do alone. As I slipped into my Uber, my mind was occupied with so many different things...Jeremy, Colin, The ballet and all those secrets that I'm keeping. Some big and some small, but secrets all the same. My Mom used to warn me not to keep secrets, that the truth is better coming from me, rather than someone else's mouth.She may be right about that. In this case, I think the truth will do more harm than good, why hurt the people around me over something that can't be controlled.The driver stopped the car and I slipped out onto the sidewalk, outside of the building I used to live in. I was dreading this — truly I was. I can imagine that there will be shouting on his part. He probably hates me for what I've done and I wouldn
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 65: THE AUSTIN OCCASION
VANESSAI woke from my sleep to the sound of the doorbell ringing... again... and again... and again. It's Saturday morning, Maria's day off, which means no one is answering that door but me. It's going to keep ringing unless I get it. I groaned as I got up from Jeremy's bed. In the bed that he chose not to sleep in last night, I thought he would change his mind and join me but he didn't. I'm guessing he didn't get over his rage to come and talk to me.I rushed down the stairs and towards the front door dressed in one of Jeremy's T-shirts that hung slightly lower than my bum. I didn't bring nightwear with me — pyjamas are not something that I've needed. His words -- not mine. The bell had been ringing, so putting on extra clothes wasn't something that came to mind. Whoever was at the door was going to get a view of nipples and long legs. I opened the door and saw Jeremy's father standing in front of me on the porch."Tom..."He looked at me with furrowed brows."Vanessa, What are you
