65. Austin

"What are you doing?" I ask Rowan, staring at my computer screen as we talk on FaceTime.

"I'm baking for the family gathering" She grins.

"What are you making?" I tuck my pillow under my arms, looking at the clock to see how much longer I have before I have to go to work.

"They're these taco things, it's taco meat, cheese, green chilis, diced tomatoes and tortillas cooked in a cupcake tray" She lists off, looking at the things scattered around the counter of her hotel room.

"Sounds delicious"

"I'll make them for you one day, Rosa and I are thinking of adding them to the bakery. We're changing the menu soon, taking away our non-popular things and adding new stuff, I can't wait" She gushes, and I smile, admiring how excited she gets over the bakery.

"What are you doing?" I hear Rosa yawn, and soon she comes into view as well as Rowan's mother.

"Hi Austin" Rosa waves, and I smile waving back. Rowan's mom looks over Rosas shoulder to look at the computer screen, and she waves.

"Hi" I wave back and she smiles, turning her attention back to Rowan. She mumbles something I can't hear to Rowan and Rowan nods, mumbling something back. Cierra walks out of the room, and Rowan sighs, putting the tray of food in the oven and hitting start.

"We've been blabbing about me, so what's going on with you? How are you?" Rowan leans on the counter, looking at the camera.

"I'm good, just miss you though" I pout and she giggles.

"I miss you too"

"The house is quiet without you" I say "And your cat thinks we're best friends, but we're not" I chuckle, her cat has slept under my chin every night, it's like having a scarf on while you sleep.

"He's just lonely, don't be mean" She laughs. I look over at the clock, and sigh cursing to myself.

"I have to get ready for work Baby, but I'll call you later okay?" I huff out and she nods.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later" She smiles, hanging up our call. I close my laptop and climb out of bed, walking to my closet to change. I put on a pair of jeans and a button up, walking to my dresser and spraying on cologne. Rowan's cat meows and I pick him up, carrying him down to the kitchen after grabbing my phone.

I pour him some food, and set him down in front of his food bowl, grabbing my car keys "I'll be back later" I tell him, as if he'll actually care and walk out to my car, driving to work. When I walk inside, Trish frantically meets me at the door of the elevator, grabbing my wrist.

"What?"

"There's a very determined McKenna in your office. I tried to tell her to leave but she won't listen and she threatened to punch me and I can't be punched because I have stuff to do later and I don't want to be asked questions about my bruised fa-"

"Trish, calm down" I place my hands on her shoulders "It'll all be okay"

"Okay, okay" She nods nervously "Let me know if you need anything"

"I will" I nod, walking into my office "So, showing up here unannounced, not following directions when told to leave, and threatening my workers, I must say, you've developed" I sit down at my desk, pressing a small button under my desk in the process.
