The atmosphere in the car became very intense after that intimate conversation. Austin rubbed his chin looking away from Savi as he got lost in his thought. He knew this moment would come and rather than having two hearts broken, he selflessly backed away from this relationship. He realized even though how much he did loved her, it won't do any good. She had earlier been Matthew's and he just came along and snatched her from him. All his act even out of love wasn't very honorable to start with. Believe it or not if he really want her without considering the consequences, he had already done it. But for the first time he wanted his father to at least acknowledged him as his son and respected him.

Savi stepped out from the car and turned to him, "Thank you for telling me the truth. I promise I will do as what you say. I don't want you to get hurt because of me."

Austin stepped out from his car and walked towards her, sighed, "What are we going to do about us?"

Savi swallowed her frustration and fought back her tears, "I don't know. I will never forget you." She burst into tears and Austin caught her, holding her close to him.

He whispered, "Then, don't. I don't want you to forget me." He smoothed the curls of her hair and planted a kiss on her forehead. She smiled and looked back at him.

He released her, "Go inside. I don't want you to catch a cold."

She grabbed his wrist and offered, "Don't you want to come in?" There was a longing reflected in her eyes.

He held her hand and kissed it, "It's no longer appropriate for me. But we'll be seeing more often after this."

Savi smiled hesitantly, "Probably, I hoped so!" Then she went inside without a backward glance.

As he reached home, Austin went upstairs and found his stepbrother curled around the bed with unknown woman. Both draped across each other in a very revealing way that made Austin almost pissed with uncontrollable anger. He grabbed the pillow and threw it at both of them before ordering the woman to leave the house. "You already engaged. What is this childish nonsense!" His face red with anger as he confronted his stepbrother.

"Come on, just a harmless sleepover," Matthew tried to twist his words and he just went back to sleep. Austin climbed on top of him and smacked him on his face.

"Next time I caught you red-handed, you'll be a dead meat!" He warned. How could he left her to be with him. His stepbrother wasn't near responsible enough. He would only hurt her more than what he already had.

Suddenly their father, Chandler stormed into the bedroom to witness the fight, he quickly punched at Austin's face and almost break his nose. Austi touched his nose and lips, noticed that there's blood already coming down. He knew his father had never supported or loved him since he got that bastard, Matthew. Chandler helped him up and Austin slapped his hand away. "You don't have to act nice in front of him." He stormed out from the bedroom and leaving both of them by themselves.

The next morning while they were having breakfast together, Chandler broke in the news, "I want to invite Savannah to have a dinner and sleepover with us. Besides, after your marriage this will also be her house too." Austin nearly choked at the idea of inviting Savi here to be with these monsters. Besides his idea was absolutely absurd, how can you let somebody that didn't had any relation to you to stay as a family. Sometimes he thought that his father just trying to piss him off.

"Excellent, then I can meet her often," Matthew supported the idea. Once a moron always a moron.

"What do you think Austin? Do you think it is a good idea?" his father teased.

He quickly got up and excused himself, " Just do what you want!You don't need my approval!" He walked away in anger and the other two laughed at his behavior.

At the office, he watched all the movement of Savi from afar. He intended to keep that promise and even f he couldn't be near her, at least he still watched over here. Moment of pain had slowly rubbed him in. He pretended not to look when in reality, he can no longer fought the urge to rip her from the clothes she wearing and thrusting into her. Sometimes, she stolen a glance at him and sometimes she caught him staring at her. The whole situation was awkward especially if you were working in the same company together. The flirtation going on and they definitely felt comfortable with it, it's only a matter of time when this all over and they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

When it's time to turn over the paperwork which been assigned by Austin, Savi's heart would started to beat fast. She feared that she would gave in to the forbidden temptation. Easy or not, she needed to act professional and set aside her abnormal desire to focus on getting her job done. She anxiously waited until all of his clients left his room before making her move. She hesitantly knocked on the door twice, waiting for answer. She reaching her nervous breakdown all of a sudden. Being alone with him in his room can brought back old memories, which she didn't intended to share with others. Once she heard him called back from his room, "Come in!" she quickly opened the door and mustered up a smile to cover her anxiety and walked straight to his desk, handing over the papers.

When she turned away to walked out from his room, he called her back, "Savi wait, I needed a moment with you!" He already stood halfway from where she was looking at her with such longing that burnt her in a minute.

Instead, she looked away, "Anything else? I already completed your tasks!" She stood still by the door, not moving a bit.

He approached her slowly, before handing her over the chain watch that he possessed since his first day in the academy. The watch cracked a bit but it held a special place in his heart. Savi looked with disbelief as he put the chain into her shaking hand. "This crack represent how deep my heart had been broken when you left me earlier. I want you to treasure this as much as I did." Then, he grabbed her shoulders and bent over to kiss her. His kisses are demanding, invading her tongue and he savored her like tonight was their last day on earth. When he released her, she noticed some sort of emptiness that plagued her all this while. She walked towards him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, "Don't leave me. I missed you!"

He turned around and wiped her tears with his fingers. "Don't cry for me. It's not worth it." He got back to his desk and sat down, pretending he already got over his own pain on loosing her. She turned away and walked out from his room, shutting the door behind her. At that very moment she saw him cried for the first time. If only I could turn back time, she thought.

It's already 5:30 pm, Shirley and Jane frantically packing up, getting ready to go home and they peered through Savi's window to give her a hint. She lazily shut down her computer and cleaned her desk. After finished packing up, she followed her friends heading home until she walked across Austin's room. The light still switched on and the computer still not being shut down yet. She patted on Jane's shoulder, "You know what girls, you both go first. I'll catch up after this."

Shirley shook her head, "You don't have to wait until this hour to jump him!" Jane sniffled a laugh.

Savi raised her eyebrow, "No, I just want to check if he was alright. I'm fine walking alone." She waved her friends goodbye.

Jane turned Shirley's around and called back, "If you insist!Bye."

Savi knocked on the door hesitantly. Dreading for an answer, she almost rejoiced when he answered back, "In here!" She slowly crept into his room and plastered a smile on her face. "I just wanna check on you, that's all!"

Austin wore an unreadable look once he saw her in front of him. "I'm alright. You can go home now." He turned back to look at his computer. Annoyed, Savi dropped her back on the couch and pulled out the chair to sit. She wore a grumpy look on her face now. Austin taken aback by her action. "What are you doing here?You should go home!" He taken off his glasses to massage the bridge of his nose. Frowning, he leaned back on his chair looking at her with disbelief. The next thing she knew he already stood up and walked towards her. Then, he was standing next to her with his hands folded over his chest. Now, he was brooding. The look that she would be missing the most.

She felt her heart skipped a bit when she stared into his dreamy eyes. The same eyes she had longed to look at her with desire way back when she was in the academy. "You don't have to act ignorance now!" Savi commented.

Austin looked at her repulsively, "My family want you to meet them tonight!" He blurted out that statement which he hated most. "Let me take you home so you can get dressed for it." He demanded.

Savi lost all her coherent thoughts, "Why should I?It's not official yet. Besides my relationship with Matthew is still edgy."

Austin ignored her complain. "They also invited you for a sleep in. Hope you won't mind!" He hurried to his room door and opened it, "Shall we?"

Savi didn't move an inch, "Go to hell, I won't!" She keep defending her own manner. "If you still act ignorant with me, I won't let you ordered me around!"

He rushed straight to her and lifted her to his desk before devouring her innocent mouth. "Is this what you want? he breathed close to her neck. She wrapped her arms around him and pushed him deeper with her legs wrapped around his waist. She jerked up and responded to every kiss, demanding each and every bit of them. He dragged her body on his desk and taste every him of her, kiss by kiss. He bent down and nibbled at her ears while while licking at her neck, tasting the saltiness of her skin. She pressed him down deeper with her and splayed her hands on his back. She lowered herself and cupped his face, looking at him with a yearning that matched the thirst for water.
