Can you believe there's like less than 20 days until Christmas? Like holy cow.
47. Austin
"No, stop talking. Shut up" I speak into the phone, rubbing my temples. Work called, even after I told them to leave me alone while I'm away, but they never listen.
"We're sorry, but we just don't know what to do"
I huff loudly, and roll my eyes, giving Rowan a sympathetic look before standing up from the bed and walking towards the balcony, stepping outside. I look back at her, seeing her stand up, with a sigh and walk towards the bathroom, and I frown.
"What happened?" I ask into the phone, Trish rambling on about how they ruined files, and deleted things that they shouldn't have and they can't get it back.
"I'm really sorry to call you, I know I was supposed to take care of this but I had no idea how" She apologizes.
"It's whatever" I shrug "Just, don't worry about it, I'll fix it from my laptop while apologizing to my girlfriend for doing the one thing I told her I wouldn't" I hang up the phone, walking back inside. I drop my phone on my bed and pull out my laptop, accessing my files for my company.
After about twenty minutes I finally get everything back, and I turn off my laptop. I put it back into my bag before walking to the bathroom, opening the door. Rowan doesn't open her eyes as I walk into the bathroom, kneeling beside the tub.
"Baby Girl" I kiss the back of her hand.
"What?" She mumbles.
"I'm so sorry" I sigh, kissing up her arm and to her cheek.
"I know" She sighs back, and I frown.
"Move over" I say, undressing and climbing into the tub with her.
"I hate you" She mumbles, wrapping her arms around me, as I lay between her legs.
"I know Baby" I lace both hands through hers, kissing the back of each of them "I love you"
"I'm still mad at you" She kisses my neck, and I smile.
"I know, and I'm sorry, I shouldn't have answered" I shake my head, the only reason I did answer was because of a surprise I'm planning for Rowan that Trish is helping me with, I didn't expect her to bring up work stuff.
"You shouldn't have" She huffs "Sorry, I probably sound really possessive right now" She catches herself, but I shake my head.
"Don't apologize Baby, I told you I wasn't going to do anything work related and I did. So you don't have to be sorry"
As she's about to respond her phone rings, and she smiles as she sees my mom's name on her screen "Hello?" She answers, her smile widening and she puts the phone on speaker.
"Hi Mommy!" Amelia yells, and I smile too.
"Hi Baby" She says.
"Hi Princess" I say and Amelia giggles.
"Hi Daddy"
"How are you Baby?" Rowan asks.
"Good, Grandmom's the best"
"Aw, you're so sweet" I hear my mom coo. We talk to the two of them for a little while longer until Rowan gets tired. We hang up the phone and get out, putting on clothes before climbing into bed.
"Tomorrow we can go get breakfast and walk around Paris for a bit. That sound okay?" I ask, wrapping my arms around Rowan as she lays her head on my chest.
"Sounds good" She nods, playing with the necklace I'm wearing "I love you" She kisses my chest.
"I love you more, Baby"

"Austin! We're in public!" Rowan gasps as I pinch her butt in my hands.
"I can't help myself" I shrug "I love these jeans" I whisper in her ear and she rolls her eyes. I kiss her cheek, and wrap my arms tightly around her waist from behind as we wait for a table to eat breakfast.
"Aw look" Rowan looks at a little old man, carrying a picture of a woman in his hands. She goes and sits down next to him, giving him a warm smile "That your wife?" She asks, and the man looks at her, and smiles before returning his eyes to the picture.
"Yes" He nods.
"She's beautiful"
"She always had been" He nods, his accent thick "We used to come here every Sunday for breakfast before she died" He sighs "Now it's just me"
"Well," She says before looking at me "You're more than welcome to join me" She offers, and he smiles.
"You're so sweet"
"Thank you" She giggles "Now come on" She stands up, holding out her arm for him, and he links his through hers, following the lady to our table. Rowan sits beside me and we sit across from him, and he doesn't even open his menu.
"What do you recommend?" Rowan asks.
"The full english breakfast, by far" He nods "I'm not English but it tastes good" He shrugs, and that's what we all order.
"So, tell us about you" Rowan smiles, folding her hands on the table.
"Well, I'm not very exciting. My name is William, I grew up in America, Seattle to be exact but moved here when I was about 10 and that's when I met the love of my life, Mia. We had been friends but eventually became lovers" He smiles "You're turn" He looks at Rowan.
"Well, I'm Rowan. My family is from Argentina but I was born and raised in America. I played a lot of sports and didn't meet this hunk of man until about 22, nearly 23 or so. We have a daughter together named Amelia. Uhm, I also own a bakery" Rowan shrug "You're turn" She looks at me.
"I'm Austin, I'm just from America" I chuckle "I own a record label, a few of them actually and that's really all I got" I laugh with a shrug.
We all finish eating, making small talk with William, and once we leave we walk out of the breakfast place, Rowan giving William a hug and kiss on the cheek "It was lovely meeting you" She smiles.
"You as well" He smiles back, before looking at me.
"You've got yourself a real gem" He shakes my hand "Keep hold of her"
"I definitely will" I nod.
"I should be going, thank you for being so kind" He smiles.
"Anytime" Rowan says sweetly before we go our separate ways.
"You're so sweet" I kiss her temple, wrapping an arm around her shoulder "I love that about you"
"I've done that since I was younger. I hated seeing people eat by themselves or do things alone so I would invite them to sit with us. My old teammates from high school used to hate it, but Rosa was the only one who was okay with it and she says she does it too" She giggles.
"You're incredible" I wrap both arms around her, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to kiss her "And I love you so fucking much" I kiss her slowly.
