Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally or some of the characters used in this story.
Another year had gone by with such little time left of me being the Billionaire's assistant. Last year was filled with so much drama, trauma and twists and turns that I never saw coming in my life. I had fallen in love with a powerful man who I never expected to ever fall for, and had gotten my heart broken by him multiple times, but in some circumstances I could never stay away from him no matter how hard I desperately tried to. I had thought that since I didn't have long of being his assistant, this year was going to be less drama free, but little did I know what it had in store for me.
It was a sunny and bright afternoon on January 5th, 2014, and I was sited in my living room, along with Keira, Trent and Alexis.
I sat on a small stool near the window gazing over at the three of them but all I could think about was Austin and that particular night we spent together last month when I rushed over to his mansion to calm him down.
~*Flashback to December 7th*~
As Austin led us back into his study and closed the door behind us, I could see the want and lust in his eyes. He pressed my back against the door as I stared back up at him with intensity. I knew that being here with him in this very position was wrong, seeing that I had agreed to give Michael a chance, but he was the last thing on my mind. As Austin's eyes slowly travelled down my lips I found myself wanting him more than I had ever wanted him. How was I supposed to ignore that feeling right then?...
Although I knew I should've left when he asked me to, I just couldn't. I just couldn't find the strength in me to walk away yet again and leave him by himself in a time like this.
"What do you want?..." He asked in a low whisper as he slowly cupped my cheek one hand.
I closed my eyes relaxing to his gentle touch before biting onto my lip. "For... for you to make love to me again... just for this night" I whispered whilst gazing deeply into his eyes. I had missed his sensational touch all over my body and the heated passion we shared as our bodies moved together as one.
He grasped his thumb across my lips before leading me over to the couch and agressively pushing me down onto it. He started to slowly unbutton his shirt as I gazed up at him with so much passion, which caused him to speed up a little. "Even if you wanted to back out now I don't think I could stop myself" he muttered quickly taking of his shirt and throwing it on the floor. He wanted this ss much as I did and we both knew there was no going back.
He pushed my hair back before pressing his weight onto me and instantly capturing my lips with his. Our lips moved in time with each other as he raised his hands up to tangle his fingers in my hair. He ran his other hand down my thigh whilst biting onto my lip, giving me the upmost of pleasure. He kissed me hard, harder and more passionate than he's ever kissed me, almost as if he knew that this was the last time we were ever going to do something like this again or for a while.
After a while he slowly pulled away from my lips and moved down to my neck, whilst helping me take of my clothes. Once I was naked he slowly parted my legs open before nestling his hips into them as he traced along my jaw line. I moaned lightly as I went to tug onto his hair, but before I could he slammed my hand back down on the sofa before interlocking it with his. As he moved back onto my lips, he quickly slid in his tongue, before using his orher hand to fondle my breast. Not being able to take it anymore; I let out a loud moan whilst squeezing onto his hand tightly.
As I ran my free hand down his chiseled back, he quickly pulled away from the kiss before lifting himself of me. He grabbed onto my hand and ran it down his six pack abs and I couldn't help but blush deeply.
"If I could make you mine, for real... I would" he muttered as he started to unbuckle his belt. Just what did he mean by that?
He took of his jeans and boxers and quickly threw it down on the floor before pressing his weight back down at me. I bit my lip at his hard bulge pressed against my thigh and blushed at the feeling of being crushed beneath him.
"I love you..." I whispered gazing back up at me.
He gazed down into my eyes for several seconds before slowly thrusting inside me causing me to moan his name over and over. I began to lose control over my body and before I knew it tears started to roll down my eyes as I wrapped my arms around Austin begging for him not to stop. Only he could make me easily surrender my body to him and make me feel this way. His lips traced along my jaw line once again as his thrusts began to quicken by the second.
He made love to me with so much passion and intensity all night like he's never made love to me before, and as morning came I had left to go back home before he could wake up.
~*End of flashback*~
Ever since then, we had made sure to keep our distance again and not to speak of the night. It was almost as if it never happened. I knew that Austin was great at pretending and hiding his emotions, but he pretended a little too much, which led me to imagine that he trily regretted that night.
"Alls, you okay?" Trent asked snapping me out of my thoughts.
I quickly looked over at him and nodded before picking up my glass of orange juce to the side and taking a sip of it. "I'm fine Trent, no need to worry" I smiled before placing my palm on my cheek and looking over at Alexis as she interlocked their hands together, whilst looking up at Keria as she stuffed some potato chips into her mouth.
"Careful with that Keira or you'll get fat" I chuckled causing Trent to laugh.
"Not you too Ally, this doofus is gonna start making fun of me again" she smirked, pointing her head over to Trent.
Trent smirked back at her before loosening his hand from Alexis and going to snach the potato chips of Keira. "Is that anyway to talk to the guy who bought you the potato chips in the first place?" He hissed whilst rolling his eyes playfully. "Thank you for that... now can I have it back" she chuckled before quickly snatching it back away from him. I watched in amusemeny as Trent quickly pulled Keira into a headlock whilst ruffling onto her hair causing her to laugh loudly, before looking over at Alexis as she held a blank and unamused expression on her face. Trent had Keira had become more overly friendly with each other and I could tell that it was slowly getting to her.
Keira's phone began to ring and she quickly escaped out of Trent's grip before going to check who it was. She sighed to herself before quickly declining the call and placing it face down.
"Who was that," Trent asked arching his brow up at her.
Keira forced a reassuring smile up at him whilst waving her hands in front of his face. "It was nobody don't worry about it" she uttered before quickly shifting her eyes away.
Trent sighed to himself before picking up her phone and quickly getting up from the sofa before she could quickly snatch it back from him. As he went through her phone his eyes began to slowly widen. "Jeremy? What the fuck does this motherfucker want and why does he have your number?" He questioned a little irritated.
"How did you know my password?" Keira hissed getting up to grab the phone of Trent, but before she could he quickly raised it up in the air, knowing that she couldn't reach.
"Oh c'mon I've known you for like seven years now Keira, I know everything about you, now tell me why Jeremy is calling you" he groaned stepping back away from her as Alexis crossed her arms before slowly shifting her eyes away.
"Okay fine...he got my number somehow a week ago, and he's been calling and texting me ever since, I've tried to get him to leave me alone but he just won't listen" she explained briefly.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Trent sighed before handing her back the phone. "If he continues to bother you just call me and I'll take care of him" he assured, raising his hand to cup her cheek but quickly stopped mid air as he realised what he was about to do.
Keira smiled up at him before turning around to sit back on the sofa. "Just because you're now big and strong, that suddenly makes you my knight and shining armour?" She laughed as Trent rolled his eyes before goinf to sit inbetween her and Alexis. "What kind of fuckery is that" he hissed causing the both of them to snicker.
"Babe?" Alexis muttered quickly placing her hand on his shoulders and he quickly turned his head to look down at her before flashing a cheesy grin.
Keira picked up the remote and started flicking through different channels, finally stopping at a news channel showcasing Austin snapping at a member of the press. Since the past month, Austin had gotten in a few issues regarding the press, simply because of the violation of his privacy. He had been in the public eye ever since he was born, so I completely understood his anger and frustration at how badly he wanted them to go away.
I watched as he cursed at some paparazzi's taking pictures of him near his mansion as some of his bodyguards stood behind him, before hearing a beep go of on my phone. I quickly picked it up from the side to see that it was a text from Austin.
'Austin: I'm outside, bring Alexis with you, I have a surprise for her before my press conference'.
I placed my phone inside my purse and pulled down my pencil skirt before getting up from the stool. "Alexis, Austin's downstairs, he said that he has a surprise for you so we should go" I stated before glancing out the window to see his Limo and his two other cars parked in front and behind.
"What surprise?" She asked, slowly getting up from the sofa besides Trent.
"I'm not sure, he didn't say" I smiled before going to hug Trent and Keira goodbye.
Alexis nodded her head and put her shades back on before leaning down to place a long kiss on Trent's lips causing Keira to quickly look away. "I'll see you later babe" she smiled whilst grasping through his lips. "Yeah, I'll call you once I'm of work" he muttered taking her hand and kissing it before looking back at Keira as she dazed of somewherelse.
"You wanna come?" He asked as Keira slowly turned her head back to look at him.
"And watch you work again for six hours while doing nothing, no thanks" She scoffed before pushing her hair back. "Fine, stay at home on your own, alone" Trent smirked as Keira rolled her eyes before folding her arms. "
"Alright, but we're stopping to get pizza first" she grinned widely before turning to walk towards our bedroom.
"Is food the only thing you think about?" Trent called whilst placing his arms above the sofa. "Don't judge me Jackson" she groaned loudly before closing the door behind her, causing him to laugh out loud.
We said our last goodbyes to Trent before turning to walk out the front door. Alexis walked slowly besides me with her head low whilst clutching onto her handbag tightly. She let out a deep sigh and pushed her blonde hair out of her face before turning her head to look down at me. "Trent doesn't even know my phone password, and he's never that protective of me anymore... do you think he has feelings for Keira?" She questioned worriedly.
I stared back up at her whilst trying to figure out what to say. Whenever Trent had feelings for somebody he would instantly tell me, but considering that it was Keira, he might had been a little hesitant to.
"Forget I asked that its a stupid question, I guess I'm just overthinking a lot" she chuckled before looking ahead and holding onto my hand. I flashed her a small smile and squeezed onto her hand tightly, and with that we strolled out the apartment building.
As we stepped out, I looked over to see two of Austin's boydguard guarding thr Limo while the others stood besides the other cars. Alexis quickly adjusted her shades and lowered her head to avoid being recognised by anybody, and I held onto her as we quickly rushed over to the Limo, before stepping inside with the help of the bodyguards. Alexis sat besides Austin before pulling him into a hug and I sat across from them as my eyes fixated on Austin. He wore a navy blue two-pieced suit, with an expensive watch and gold rings on rach finger, and he looked very tired and exhausted, more tired than I've seen him look in a long while.
He looked back at me catching my gaze and I quickly shifted my attention towards the window as the memories of the last night we spent together statted to recall back into my head once again. It amazed me how he acted like nothing had happened the week after whilst I was a nervous wreck, but I guess he did it to make things less awkward between us. After all, it was one of the most passionate and longest nights we shared together.
"Ally told me you had a surprise for me?" Alexis asked as the Limo began to slowly drive off.
"Just wait and see Lexi, I think you're gonns love it" he smirked lazily before pushing her hair back. She smiled up at him before doing the same, causing him to chuckle lightly. "You look like you haven't slept for a whole week Austin, is everything okay?" she asked before looking back up at me.
"Don't worry about me Lexi" he said assuringly flashing her a tired smile before turning his head to face me. "Afternoon, Ally" he spoke in a professional and strict tone, leaving an aching feeling in my chest.
"Afternoon..." I mutterred back quietly as Alexis looked at the both of us a little suscpsciously.
We sat in silence for several minutes with Austin and I taking quick glances at each other while the other wasn't looking. I wanted to so desperately feel his lips on mine again, but I knew that I couldn't. Things were more complicated than ever, and I had no idea where to go from there.
"If I didn't know any better, I would say that you two are hiding something" Alexis broke up breaking the silence and I quickly shot my head up at her, trying ny best to deny it.
Austin gazed across from me as I continued to tell her that we weren't in fact not hiding anything. I was expecting him to join me, but instead he picked up his shades and put it on before pouring himself a glass of champagne. "So big brother, have you told Ally you like her yet?" Alexis asked leaving me a little speechless.
Austin took a sip of his champagne and placed his arm above the seat before turning to look down at her, and the next thing he said left me completely shocked and overwhelmed.
"Can you keep it a secret..." he uttered whilst looking back at me as I began to blush deeply.
I lowered my head anxiously as Alexis began to squeal and gush. "Well you should know that Ally likes you, no in fact I think she loves you... she's never told me but I can tell by the way she looked at you when we both entered the Limo, and also-
"Alexis!" I groaned quickly cutting her off in embarassment.
"Lexi can you do me a favour?" He asked as she quickly nodded her head whilst smiling widely to myself. It was almost as if to them I wasn't even in the Limo. "Can you tell her that I love her too, just this once" he muttered as I gazed up at him surprisingly.
Throughout the car ride we continued to stare at each other not saying anything. My heart beated incredibly fast, and I wouldn't be surprised if they could hear it.
After a while, we pulled up in front of this huge private mansion downtown.
"Austin, what are we doing here?" Alexis asked puzzled as he helped the both of us out the Limo. He held onto my hand and gazed down at me intensely before letting go a couple seconds later and turning to wrap his arm around Alexis.
"Well, this is your new mansion..." he spoke leaving her completely gobsmacked.
"Y-You bought me a mansion?" She gasped loudly whilst covering her mouth.
I stared up at the mansion in amazement before turning ny attention back to Austin and Alexis. "I bought my first mansion when I was 16, and you're 18 so I don't want you to keep living with those two any longer, everything you want is inside, plus I've hired some maids and bodyguards for you so you'll be seeing them next week" he smiled whilst stroking her gently.
Without hesitation Alexis quickly threw her arms around him, squealing loudly. "Its huge, I love it! But how much did it cost?" She asked before pulling away from the hug and turning to gape up at the mansion. "Around $11 million dollars, I won't have my baby sister settle for less" he uttered before leading her towards the mansion.
"What do you think Ally?" Alexis asked turning back to face me.
"Well it is big..." I chuckled. "And beautiful..." I trailed off as Austin smiled down at me. I hadn't seen him smile in so long that I couldn't help but smile back. I went to speak up again till my eyes quickly narrowed over to a Limo quickly pulling up besides us. I looked closely to see Mike and Mimi slowly stepping out of it with the help of their bodguards before looking up at Austin as his smile began to slowly fade away.
"What the hell is going on here James! I thought I told you to keep them from finding out about this!" Austin scolded over at James.
"I'm terribly sorry sir, they ordered me to tell them or else-
"Oh they ordered you?!" He snapped cutting him off. "Are you forgetting who you work for?, when I made you my head bodyguard after Duncan I expected you to live up to his expectationd not disapoint me!" He hissed before rubbing his head frustratingly, and I could tell that he was trying his hardest not to think back to Duncan.
"Please forgive me sir, it won't happen again" James apologised, bowing his head at him. Austin rolled his eyes at him and sighed to himself before turning his attention back to his Parents.
I watched as Mike and Mimi slowly made their way over to him, with a deemening and intimidating expression on their face. Since they were one of the most wealthiest families in the world you would instantly expect them to get along but it was the complete opposite. There was so much hatred, bitterness and jealousy in this family that you could almost sense the disgust, just by being around them. It didn't have to be like this but, because of Mike and Mimi's selfishness, they managed to push away what was supposed to be their two greatest treasures.
Austin and Mike stood face to face with eah other as Alexis glared over at her mother with her arms crossed. Mimi gaped back up at Alexis despicably before walking over to Mike. Before I knew it, she quickly raised her hand up and slapped Austin across the face.
"Have you lost your damn mind Austin?!" She yelled furiously. "Who the hell do you think you are buying Alexis a house? Are you forgetting that we planned another engagement for her since you ruined the last one!-
"Stop it mom!" Alexis snapped before going to stand in front of Austin. "How many times do I have to tell you and Dad that I don't wanna get married now! Why won't you both just leave me alone and let me be huh?! I made $10 million dollars by myself last year so I don't need you both" she yelled as Austin lowered his head whilst clenching his fists tightly, and I could tell he was trying incredibly hard not to lose his temper again for the sake of Alexis.
"I'm not gonna let you ruin this family's name by parading around with that boy, you're gonna do exactly as we say Alexis or else-
"Or else what Mike?!" She questioned finally standing her ground, and I couldn't help but smile.
Mike stared down at Alexis angrily before scoffing to himself. He slowly took of his shades before raising his hand to hit her but before he could, Austin quickly caught his arm and shoved him away before pushing Alexis behind him. "Ally, take Alexis back inside the Limo" he spoke looking over at me and I quickly nodded my head before taking Alexis's hands and opening the door for her to step inside.
As we shut the door behind us, I quickly rolled down the windows to see Austin face to face with Mike once again.
"Listen old man" he muttered calmly whilst slipping his hands inside his pockets. "What I do with my sister is not your damn business alright. She's going to live in this mansion from now on, away from you two, and there's nothing that you could do about it-
"And who the hell are you to make that decision Austin" Mimi yelled quickly cutting him off.
"Who the hell am I? I'm the reason why we haven't lost our billions of dollars yet, everday I bust my ass just for that company and what do I get in return? Nothing!... you both make me sick". Silence filled the air for a brief moment
They stared up at Austin despicably and after a short while, they slowly turned around to head back inside their Limo without saying anything. I slowly stepped out the Limo with Alexis as Austin ran his hands down his face. "James, Billy, take Alexis back to my Parents mansion and pack all of her things ready for her to move" he ordered, and they quickly nodded before rushing to the car behind and opening it for her. Alexis said her goodbyes to us before walking over to the car. We watched as it drove off in the other direction before stepping back inside the Limo.
I sat across from Austin and looked up at him as the car began to slowly drive off. He took of his shades and through it to the side as he clenched his jaw tightly staring into the distance.
"Arr you alright?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah... I'm fine" he muttered before loosening his tie.
Not knowing what would happen, I slowly shifted closer to him and placed my hand over his for comfort. He threw his head back and shut his eyes whilst letting out a deep sigh. After a while, I went to remove my hand from his, but before I could, he quickly laced my fingers with it before placing our hands down on my lap. I bit onto my lip and smiled a small smile as he gently rubbed my palm.
We stayed like that throughout the ride, not saying anything but continuing to hold hands. It was almost as if we didn't have to.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the place where Austin's public press conference was being held.
I looked out the window to see the reporters and paparzzi's, along with hundreds of people on the streer waiting for him to come out. I looked up at him as he rubbed his forehead and sighed to himself before slowly loosening my hands with his. He lowered his head for a brief while, almost as if he was in deep thought about something, before lifting his head back up to face me.
He gazed down into my eyes deeply, which made me a little nervous. With a little hesitation, he slowly raised his hand up to cup my cheek before shifting closer to me. Since his windows were tainted, it meant that nobody could see what we were doing inside, thankfully.
"Close your eyes" he whispered whilst grasping my pale cheeks.
"What? Why-
"Just do it" he muttered briefly.
I stared up into his eyes for a couple more sefonds before shutting my eyes as told. I felt his large hands gently run down my cheeks before feeling his soft lips quickly come into contact with mine. It started of slow and passionate, almost as if he was making sure to savour in the feel of my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck securing our position as he moved his face to the side, deepening the kiss. All I could think about was how our bodies bumped together as we picked up the pace. He moved his hand down my back, as the kiss grew more and more intense by the second. Warm tears began to fill up my eyes as he kissed me roughly and forcefully making my knees weak. The kiss was so powerful that I couldn't help but lose control of my body and allow the tears to flow down my cheek. It reminded me of the night where we last slept together.
The fact that there were a lot of people waiting outside for Austin, completely unaware and oblivious to what was happening inside between Austin and I made it even more exciting.
A couple minutes later, Austin slowly pulled away from the kiss before pressing his forehead against mine as we breathed in and out trying to catch our breaths. He slowly wiped away the tear stains from my cheeks with his thumb, before placing a kiss on my forehead.
"I had to do that again one last time before going out there" he whispered cupping both my cheeks. One last time?, what did he mean by that?.
"Austin, I... I have to tell you something" I murmured completely lost in his eyes. "I can't hide and pretend anymore, I wanna be with yo-
"Don't" he sighed cutting me off before pushing a strand of hair behind my ears. "We can't be together Ally... I'm not the man for you, so do me a favour... I want you to try and forget about us, about all we've been through..." he spoke leaving me a little puzzled.
"Austin what are you saying?" I asked searching into his eyes for some answers.
"After today, you're released from your contract as my assistant, I know you had until next month, but its easier for me if I let you go now". Was he firing me?. Tears started to fill up my eyes yet again as he slowly removed his hands from my cheek before lowering his head slightly. He went to cup my cheek again, but quickly stopped himself.
I watched as one of his bodyguards quickly rushed out to open the door for us. Austin fixed his tie and his hair and put his shades back on, before stepping out the Limo whilst avoiding eye contact with me. I stared down at my lap as my ears instantly filled with screams from people outside reacting to the apperance of Austin. I quickly wiped the tears away from my pale cheeks and forced a brave smile onto my face before slowly stepping out the Limo.
I lowered my head and avoided the cameras in my face as I followed behid whilst Austin quickly made his way inside. I felt so much hurt and pain in my heart, but no matter how much I was hurting right then, I couldn't show it, seeing as this press conference was to be shown on TV.
Why?... why did something like this have to happen again?... why couldn't I ever be happy?.
As we made our way inside, I spotted Piper standing over at the side with her Father as many camera shots began to flash our way. Austin placed his arms to his side before walking over to them. I watched as he kissed Piper's hand like the gentltman he was, before turning to shake her Father's hand. He spoke with them for several more seconds before turning to walk up the stage where his Parents, Trish and Dez, and the board of Directors from the company were stood waiting.
"Afternoon sir" they spoke as he walked up on stage. He nodded hid head back at them and turned to face me for a split second before walking up to the microphone and turning his attention to the crowd.
I joined my hands together before turning back to face Trish and Dez. They smiled and waved back at me and I forced a smile back before turning to face Mike and Mimi as they posed for the cameras. I let out a deep sigh before turning my attention back to Austin. He took of his shades and placed it to the side as the reporters and paparazzi's awaited what he was going to say.
"A lot of people have been asking what I have planned for Strattmon Inc. Co-operations this year" he spoke up before pausing for a little while. Hundreds of people in the crowd began to throw questions at him but he briefly ignored them. "Last year was a tremendous year for the company, we managed to make an increasiny amount of profit and use the money to help other cities and countries battle important issues such as climate change and global warming" he announced as people began to clap and cheer.
"Mr Moon, I know you have an important meeting in China next week to discuss more about the issue of pollution in the country, could you tell us how you plan to tackle that also?" A reporter from the crowd questioned before getting up and holding his microphone up.
Austin lowered his head slightly before turning to look back at Dez. "I won't be attending the meeting, but the head of my trade market; Mr Dez Worthy, will be attending in my place instead" he announced as Dez quickly held a puzzled look on his face.
"What the hell are you doing Austin?! That meeting is important god dammit!" I heard Mike quietly hiss from behind him.
"Austin, is everything okay man?" I heard Dez asked worriedly as his eyes paced around the ground.
"Mr Moon, the Chinese President has been expecting you for a couple months now, could you tell us why you won't be able to attending the meeting the whole world has been talking about?" Another news reporter asked, as more camera flashed began to go off.
"Ally, what's going on?" Trish asked quietly, but still enough for me to hear. I looked back at her and shrugged my shoulders, before looking back up at Austin as he looked to be in deep thought about something. Could he possibly be thinking about what had happened between us in the Limo several minutes ago?.
Austin ignored his comment before turning back to face the crowd of people. He lowered his head for a brief moment before looking up as the crowd began to murmur loudly and ask questions. I noticed his muscles began to tense and his jaw began to clench tightly. What was going on? I thought to myself as he remained silent whilst multiple questions were being thrown at him. After a couple more minutes he cleared his throat before speaking up, and uttering the words that had left the whole world in shock.
"Six years ago I took on the biggest responsibility of my life when I started running my Father's company, and it was the worse decision I ever made... as of today, I would like to publicly announce that I would be resigning my position as the CEO of Strattmon Inc. Co-operations".
It was a moment that I would never forget. I remember how the crowd had quickly erupted into shock at the sudden news of Austin quitting. My mouth hung low as Austin removed his tie before unbuttoning the few buttons of his dress shirt. He took a deep breath berore turning back to face his Parents as they held a gobsmacked and angry expressiom on their face.
"Its all yours again, old man" Austin muttered over to his Dad before taking one last look at me and walking of the stage and out the building as reporters quickly bombarded him with questions.
I went to run after him but there were too many people blocking the way, and once I had managed to get past them and rush outside, he had already drove away in his Limo.
Little did I know that was the last time I was ever going to see him for a long while.
Wow what a twist, who saw that coming?. Don't forget to review and tell me what you thought of the chapter and also what you think will happen now that Austin has quit as the CEO of Strattmon. Inc.
