24.

Posted: March. 16, 2016

I didn't go to softball practice after school, so I'm doing this earlier :)

So, I had to return my school ring for them to fix it, and I sent it back nearly 3 weeks ago, but I can't get it back until April 2nd and I'm so fucking pissed.

24. Rowan

Once we land, Austin walks out of the airport, telling me he's going to see if his car is here while I go to the bathroom. Once I'm finished I walk out of the airport, the hot air, in complete contrast to that of New York, hits me. 

"Jesus fucking Christ it's hot" I groan "It's making my boobs itch" I resituate my bra.

"Ro, Baby come on" Austin fights a laugh, opening the door to the front seat of his BMW.

"Who's this?" The girl asks, her jaw clenched but a smile on her face. I tilt my head at her, wondering the same thing.

"Rowan" I smiles, my hand in my shirt "I would shake your hand, but you know" I motions to the hand in my shirt, and I see Austin face palm from the corner of my eye, as I climb into the front seat of his car.

"Wow, what a downgrade" She mumbles under her breath, climbing into the backseat of Austin's car. I think about saying something rude back, but I'm obviously the better one, I mean who is Austin dating? Me, not her.

Austin gets into the drivers seat, turning on the car, and driving out of the airport parking lot "I'll drop you off at home" Austin says to the girl in the backseat, moving to rest his hand on my thigh.

"I feel like we should go over who's coming tomorrow" She says, leaning forward to rest her elbows on the center console. 

"We can go over that tomorrow" Austin shrugs.

"But-"

"Jesus Christ, can you be any more desperate?" I ask with a huff, and she scoffs.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sure you heard me perfectly. Now back the fuck off, he's taken" I sneer.

"Austin" She whines. 

"You heard her" He shrugs, and I smirk, winking at her. Austin turns into some neighborhood, pulling up to a house. 

"I'll see you later Austin" She grins, squeezing his shoulder, making me want to punch her. 

"Yeah, bye" He says, and she gets out of the car, swaying her hips as she walks up to her front porch. 

"Who is she?" I ask, disgust lacing my words.

"She's my receptionist for the building out here" He shrugs.

"I don't like her" I cross my arms over his chest, and he chuckles.

"You don't have to worry about her" He leans over to kiss my cheek, before driving off. We drive for a while until Austin pulls into a gated community, filled with fucking castles "Close your mouth" He chuckles, and I snap my mouth shut.

"What even?" 

"Eh, they're alright" He shrugs, pulling into the driveway of what I'm guessing is his. I climb out of the car, as Austin grabs our suitcase and I walk up the front porch, still marveling at the beauty of his mansion. He walks up to the door, and unlocks it, letting me inside.

"Holy cow" I gasp, the inside being more beautiful than the outside. He leads me to his room, and I sit down on the bed, while dropping the suitcase into the corner of the room. 

"I'll be back" He whispers, kissing my nose and walking out of the room, and coming back moments later with a menu in his hands "So, Chinese or pizza?"
