Chapter 3
Austin became much of a big deal after our very first date. He later learnt about my break up and how my boss would not let me work without passing nasty comments about my body and how he pretty much made all the workers know he wants me in his bed.
He was just like an older brother but I grew attached to him. I wanted him at all cost for myself. I know this sounds selfish but how do I let such a man go when he practically spends all his time with me and not his girlfriend. As we became inseparable, I was let in on the fact that his family and close people knows the girl he’s dating and they just adore her. His older siblings and mother couldn’t stop planning their wedding with the least chance they got. Sarah, his girlfriend would come to their house bringing gifts for everyone- who wouldn’t love someone with this gesture?
All this information did not make me feel like I couldn’t get what I wanted. Though his parents and siblings didn’t give me the warm welcome one expects the first day they met me. How can I blame them? It takes a while for us all to accept others or so I thought.
Three months down the line I finally got what I was looking for. Austin had come to my place as usual to spend time with me and we couldn’t help but get all cozy in my little sofa, by the time realization hit me, I was already on top of him almost shirtless. I had the urge to keep kissing him but I also felt what I was doing was wrong. ‘I am better than this.’ I stopped abruptly and got off him to go sit on my bed. He followed suit.
“I’m sorry I shouldn’t have done that” I said looking away.
“It’s alright, I started it.”
I looked at him with my head still bowed not sure what else to say. He inched closer to me, held my chin and lifted my head up slowly.
“Don’t you want any of this? Don’t you love me?”
“Austin, you already have a..” he interrupted me sweetly
“But I love you Liz. I know I have someone but I can’t stop the fact that I want you. Every part of me yearns for you.”
“But.. but what of your girlfriend?”
“Don’t think about that one, it’s you I want and as long as you feel the same, we can make this work.”
“I like you too but I can’t be dragging with someone over a man”
“I’ll leave her for you, just give me sometime.”
Boy was I relieved? A big yes to this. I knew he loved me and couldn’t be just friends. He kept asking if I was his girlfriend over and over and my happy self would answer in the affirmative with a cheerful glee.

Austin was the too good to be true kind of guy. I would wake up to his texts with sweet messages, he’d spend time with me and the amazing part is how he showed me he cared always. With all this, I had a problem. This is a relationship that I cannot tell anyone about and had to act like we are just friends every time I met his family and close people. It was killing me inside. The way he’d be all around Sarah when she comes over to his parents place, watching them give sweet comments about how they will make beautiful kids always got on my nerves but I had no choice. If I want this guy, then I should as well, play my cards well to win this love battle. Austin didn’t totally leave me out when Sarah came around, he would pass me winks and air-blown kisses every time no one was watching. I loved how those gestures made me feel at ease.
