ten. preston

"You're out of beer" Chase says, his mouth full as he sits down on the chair in my living room.

"Okay, I'll get some from the store later" I sigh, running a hand over my face. It's been two weeks since I've seen Austin at the mechanic, and I can't get over how good he looks. He just looks so happy. I didn't want to have to tell him about Chase, and I hate that he can see right through me.

I hated to say it, but being with Chase was good for business. Getting married would basically force our companies to mix, making one of the largest in the world. And if that's the case, happiness can wait.

I can't help but wish that I could see Austin, I want to be close to him again. I didn't know he'd have this much of an effect on me, but he's all I can think about. I honestly don't even care he has a daughter anymore, my mom was right, it isn't that big of a deal if you really want to be with someone. It just took me way too long to realize that I don't want to be with him.

"Preston, you're out of beer"

"You told me that already" I roll my eyes.

"I know, but you haven't gotten any yet" He shrugs.

"I wasn't planning on dropping everything to feed your alcoholism" I sneer and he scoffs.

"I'm not an alcoholic"

"Okay, sure" I nod, standing up from the couch and walking towards the front door and grabbing my car keys to drive to the store. I pull up to the parking lot and find a parking space, my heels clicking against the asphalt as I walk up to the doors and walk inside, the cold air of the frozen section immediately hitting me.

I walk to the alcohol and mixer section, walking down the aisle to find Chases favorite beer. I find a case and pick it up, carrying it out of the aisle.

"That's a lot of beer" A voice says and I look over to see Austin.

"What Chase wants, Chase gets" I shrug, and he chuckles shaking his head.

"So, you're basically a servant now?"

"No" I scoff "I'm just a good person"

"Oh come on, he probably made you do it and when you get back I bet you won't even get a thank you" He crosses his arms over his chest and I bite my lip.

"That doesn't matter, I know he appreciates it" I shrug, and soon a girl walks up behind Austin, putting something in their cart. I look the girl up and down and immediately a jealous feeling swirls in my stomach.

"We need to get food for Bella" She says and Austin nods.

Is this Bella's mom, because Jesus Christ.

"I'll go get the animal crackers and I'll meet you at the deli line" She says "Oh and baby food" She snaps and my eyebrows furrow in confusion.

Does Austin have another kid?

"Alright" He says, and she walks off, leaving Austin and I alone again.

"She's pretty" I mumble, and he chuckles.

"Yeah, too bad Zach got to her first"

"What?"

"That's a friend of mines wife, she had to pick up baby food, and I had to get food for Bella so we just came here together" He shrugs "Was someone jealous?" He teases and I scoff, shaking my head.
