It was soon the weekend, the time where Austin and I need to head over to this meet up. I was still rather confused on what this event was supposed to be and how I would be involved in this, but I knew better than to tell Markus no. I was just getting ready in my rather fancy clothes, Austin told me Markus pulled him aside and told him he and I need to wear some fancy type clothes. At first, I didn’t know what he meant by fancy but I once I saw the outside of this meet up, it all became clear.I wore a black dress that went just below my knees, the top half was a corset like dress which was sheer, while the skirt flared out a tiny bit. I wore black heels while curling my hair at the button.I was trying to keep myself busy so I wouldn’t overthink what’s about to happen, it wasn’t just down to Markus but also worrying if they’ll find out I’m working with Jacob and what they’d do. I take one last look in the mirror at myself, I used as much makeup as I could to hide the cuts and bruises
Austin sends me a little smile whilst looking away from Markus, we didn’t want him thinking we were talking about him in anyway.“If you can hear me, clear your throat” Jacob voice fills my ear, it did cause me to jump at first as I didn’t expect it to be that loud in my ear.I bring my hand up to my mouth clearing my throat, Austin looks over to check if I was okay which I send him a little smile. I was unsure if this was going to be challenging, I would need to listen to Jacob while also keeping track with what was happening around me.“Woah, that’s one of the best throat clears I’ve ever heard” Jacob says which does cause a smile to fill my lips, I didn’t know if I should take that as a compliment or not.“Why are you smiling?” Austin asks which breaks me from what was happening with Jacob, maybe I need to be more careful moving forward.“I’m just amazed at the beauty of this place, who would have imagined us two standing in a place like this?” I smile hoping that would be enough f
I stare up at the men for a few seconds before looking away, I didn’t want them to see me looking at them, they might catch onto the fact that I knew what they were planning. I take a look to Austin once more, who was in deep conversation with Markus and that Mason man. I walk over to the side slightly where I pretend to cough.“Jacob, do you see those guys on that balcony?” I ask really quickly, this being the first time I was directly talking to Jacob this whole time.“Yeah I’ve got my eyes on them right now, why what’s happening I’ve lost sight of you?” He asks worriedly while I take a look back out to the guys, who were still scanning the crowd while the huge guns in their hands scared me.“Those look like the same guys that were at the party the night it got shot up, they’re doing exactly what they were right before, I’m worried that’s about to happen here” I whisper not wanting to draw any attention to myself, but I felt so trapped in this building with no way out.“We can’t let
I don’t utter a single word in the car, I didn’t even turn to look at Austin even once. My mind couldn’t wrap its way around the event that just happened, what the heck was Austin thinking?! I know Markus has to be involved in it somehow, or he wouldn’t have reacted the way that he did afterwards.Once we pull up at the apartment, I didn’t wait for him to turn the car off before I climb out. I didn’t want to sit there and allow him to tell me how it was all Markus’s fault, Austin does have his own mind to make his own decisions. Kissing his best friends girlfriend is a big decision that he made! I climb the stairs to the apartment while Austin closes his car door, I was unlocking the apartment door as he was still at the button of the stairs. I enter the apartment and head towards my bedroom, while I hear the front door close behind me. Austin must have ran up the stairs to catch up.“Payton please” Austin starts to say but I shake my head looking back at him for a second, I didn’t ev
I stay in my room just staring at the wall, what does Austin expect me to do with the information he just told me? What will Roman do if he found out? When he gets back are we just going to pretend none of this happened? As I’ve said before Roman is so good at catching the vibes of the room, he’ll know something is off almost immediately and will ask what’s going on.I couldn’t help but feel bad for Austin, if he’s telling the truth and he has been hiding the way he was feeling since school, that’s been more than a few years. From the way he was telling me back there, I could just see how hard it was for him to tell me.Before I had time to dwell on those thoughts anymore, Austin starts to shout dinner was ready in the kitchen. How is he acting so casual after what we just spoke about?! With a little sigh I sit up from bed, I knew I couldn’t avoid Austin forever. Firstly, because we live in the same apartment and second, we still have to keep up the couple act around Markus. I slide o
It was the next morning, I didn’t really get much sleep last night as my mind was just racing with all the things Austin told me yesterday. The thing I couldn’t get out my head was the way he said Roman treats me, I’ve never thought Roman treated me badly, he’s just really over protective. He’s always been like that ever since we started dating, he used to walk me to and from school to keep me safe even though it added an extra hour onto his walk each day.What also was playing on my mind all night, was when Austin told me he loved me. I didn’t know how I was supposed to handle that, until Roman left I generally thought that man disliked or even hated me at times! But according to him, he’s had those feelings for me ever since we met in school. But why would he constantly treat me like dirt then?A knock on my bedroom door makes me jump slightly, within a few seconds Austin was walking in with a plate of food in his hands. That same smile still on his lips, which I couldn’t help but s
We walk around the different stalls for around an hour, I could not get over the beauty of this place and how it is not really known to the public. Now I know about it, I hope Austin is telling me the truth when he tells me we can come here often.The people were also so nice, they were just generally grateful that we were there walking around. I must have thanked Austin like a thousand times for taking me here, this was truly a beautiful place!We soon stop at a stall that was selling handmade jewellery, you could just tell by looking that these were made with such love and care. Every piece was dramatically different to the other, so if you brought this you were really getting a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery. My eyes scan the pieces when they land on one, it was a beautiful locket that was sat on its own.“Do you like it?” Austin asks once noticing my eyes had not moved to any other piece, I nod my head with a little smile as I went.“It looks nearly identical to the one my grand
We continue to cloud spot for a little while longer, this was something I didn’t expect that Austin would be enjoying. At first, I know he didn’t really think much of it, but now he was eagerly pointing at the different clouds. His guesses are much weirder than mine, apparently, he kept seeing a troll for some unknown reason.“I knew once you started getting into it, you’d start enjoying yourself” I say looking over at Austin who was still laying beside me, he nods his head laughing turning to look at me too.“I didn’t think this would be something I would be enjoying either, but lately it’s become clear that any activity involving you, I always enjoy myself” he says looking at my face where I just smile, but the conversation we had last night popped back into my mind.“What did you want me to do with the information you told me last night, I’m so happy with Roman and can’t picture myself with anyone that isn’t him” I say just being open with him, I didn’t want to lead him on in any w
