I'm waiting for Ink Master so I decided to write, which means I lied about not posting again in the book before school starts.
Crazy shit is about to go down, but you guys will fucking love me
23. Rowan.
"You're pretty" Austin mumbles, a cute smile on his face. He uses the makeup wipe to clean off my face, and I roll my eyes.
"Oh please"
"I mean it" He giggles "You're so pretty" He emphasizes, leaning in to kiss my lips.
"You're cute" I pinch his cheek and he grins, winking at me. He pulls me closer, so it sitting on his lap, and he wipes off my lips, getting off the lipstick.
"I love you"
"You're so drunk" I chuckle, and he whines, shaking his head.
"That doesn't mean I don't love you"
"Well, thank you. I love you" I kiss him gently
"I'm going to go say goodnight to my little baby and then I'm going to give you a little baby" He giggles, winking at me.
"Austin-"
"That basically means we're going to have sex" He moves me from his lap and skips out of the room and I laugh loudly. I walk out of the room and outside, remembering that I forgot to check the mail. I open the mailbox and grab the mail from the mailbox and carry it up, flipping through the envelopes. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion when I see a letter from the ministry that helped Harry and I get married.
I drop everything else on the kitchen table and sit down on one of the chairs ripping open the letter. I skim through the letter, not finding anything important until the last paragraph.
Franklin Smith, did not have an updated license to be a minister. Therefore your marriage had not been legally acceptable. We're so very sorry, and we know you believe in your heart the marriage is true. If you have any questions, or would like to get remarried legally you may contact the ministry at...
I stare down at the paper in shock, my eyes blurred with tears. All this time it's been a lie and I didn't even know.
"There you are Babe!" Austin yells "I thought I lost you" He walks over to me but I can't stop staring at the letter "Babe?" He stands beside me "What's wrong?" He asks.
"Nothing, nothing" I snap out of my daze, shaking my head "I'm good" I stand up from the chair, folding up the letter.
"What is that?" He asks, pointing to the letter.
"Just a letter from Amelia's doctor. She needs to get a check up soon" I lie and he nods.
"You look like you need a sleep" He wraps an arm around my shoulder "Come sleep with me" He leads me back up the steps and we lay down in bed, my head on his chest "Goodnight, I love you" He kisses my forehead.
"Goodnight" I mumble, my mind still racing.
Austin falls asleep quickly, and after about an hour of making sure that he won't wake up, I grab my phone and climb out of bed. I tip toe out of the room and down the steps. I walk out of the back door and towards the pool, sitting on the edge, dipping my feet into the water.
I dial Harry's phone number and hold the phone up to my ear, chewing on my lip nervously "Hello?" He answers.
"Hey, so I uh, just got a letter in the mail from the ministry..." I trail off.
"Fuck" He mumbles, so low I almost didn't catch it "What did it say?" He asks nonchalantly.
"Want to take a guess?" I ask, knowing that there's a good chance he already knows.
"Rowan-"
"You knew didn't you?" I cut him off.
"Yes, but I didn't think it meant anything-"
"You didn't think it meant anything?" I ask in disbelief "Our whole marriage has been a lie! How long have you known?"
"6 months" He answers and I choke on my breath. That's when all the baby talk started.
"Yes it has. You've kept something like this from me and I can't believe you"
"I'm sorry" He sighs "I didn't want you to find out and then change your mind"
"So, you wanted to put a baby in me so I didn't have a choice but to fix it?" I accuse, but when he stays silent I know my accusation was right "Who even are you?"
"Rowan, I'm so sorry"
"Well, you're not the only one that's been lying" I take a deep breath, knowing that I need to admit this now or I never will.
"What do you mean?"
"I've been taking my birth control ever since you started talking about having a baby"
"Why would you do that?" He asks.
"Because, I don't want more children. I told you that, but I don't regret it knowing you did it to trap me is disgusting" I scoff "We'll talk about this when you come back. I don't have time for this right now" I hang up the phone, burying my face into my hands. I hear a meow and I furrow my eyebrows looking behind me to see my cat rolling around on the ground.
"What are you doing out here, crazy?" I pick him up, sitting him in my lap. He rubs himself against my chest and I giggle, kissing his head "You've always made me smile"
I sigh, and pick up my phone again and call my mom, waiting for her to answer "Hello?"
"Ma" I mumble.
"Rowan" She says in surprise.
"I love you"
"What happened?"
"I don't think Harry and I are going to be together much longer" I frown.
"Why not?" She asks.
"Well, for starters he's been keeping that our marriage is fake for six months. He wants a baby so I don't leave him, and I want someone else" I sigh.
"Austin?" She asks.
"Yes" I nod "I love him so much"
"I know you do" She says "You deserve to be happy"
"So do you Ma" I sigh "I'm sorry about Argentina and not talking to you. I was just upset but I know how you feel. It's the same way I felt with Austin and I get it now and I'm so sorry"
"It's alright, I forgive you" She says.
"I just wanted to tell you that, but I need to go to bed before I'm caught. I'll talk to you soon" I yawn "Lunch tomorrow?"
"Okay"
"Okay, goodnight"
"Goodnight"
