I just knew that I couldn't put her off for too long! It was inevitable! I could only go so long without having Natasha visit the Mansion that I live in with my Brute of a Husband. I've been trying to put her off for months by making up silly excuses,that was until I just couldn't any longer. She can be rather insistent at times but I love her in despite of that.
"Fucking size of this place! I can't believe I'm finally at your house,Ness.I was worried that It might come to me having to sneak in."Natasha chuckled.
That's what it might have come to-I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I woke up one morning to find her sitting at the breakfast bar watching Alma cooking her bacon and Eggs. Not surprised at all!!
"I know-I'm sorry!You know what it's like,things just get so busy sometimes."I moved my hands up and down in the jacuzzi."You're here now,I want you to enjoyed yourself."

JEREMYI opened my front door,expecting her face to be the first thing that I would see. I was sorely disappointed to not find her ready and waiting by the stairs, nor the kitchen or living room either."Vanessa-Where are you?"I shouted, with agitation in my voice but I didn't get a reply. I took the stairs towards her bedroom and I walked the hallway. When I had left she was almost ready,I can't believe it's 30 minutes later and she's still keeping me waiting.I pushed open her bedroom door."What the hell is taking so long,Vanessa? I'm growing impatient!"I looked around,but she wasn't there. I noticed the dress that she was supposed to be wearing for tonight's dinner was still hanging on the door of her closet.Where the hell is she?Did she change her mind and decide not to come,Just to make me look like an idiot? I pulled my phone from my pocket and dialled her number,but instead of h

I wake with the feeling of dread and sadness. The dread of the day ahead and the sadness of all the hope that I have lost,now that he is gone. He's gone-It feels weird even thinking about it. I'm grieving for him I guess.Perhaps I should have been smart enough to grieve for my Father after the accident instead of all this time later.I shouldn't have had hope!!As I looked at myself in the mirror,I tucked a curly lock of hair behind my ear.Today is the day of the funeral,the day I burry my Father.I couldn't bare the thought of saying goodbye to him..Just like I did my Mother.The door to my bedroom opened slightly more than it already was,and Jeremy's face came into view."We have to um-be at the church in twenty. Are you ready to go?"His voice was low and sweet,not at all what I was used to.I nodded my head at him in

VANESSAIt was New Year's Eve and Jeremy and I were on the drive up to his cabin for a couple of days. At the time it seemed like a good idea,I'm definitely regretting my decision to rope him into coming up here now since things are so awkward between us. Very awkward-Like unbearable silence awkward!! That stupid kiss the night of the funeral,what the hell was I thinking just kissing him like that? Our family Christmas with the Austin's was silence between Jeremy and I for the most part. I think both Ava and Tom figured the reason for my quietness was that I was still grieving for my Father. They would be right in thinking so,at least partly. I'm still finding it hard to come to terms with my Father's passing. Having them

Natasha and I sat in the waiting area of a cute little restaurant,while we waited on our take out food to be brought out to us. It's been the better part of an hour since we left so I'm sure the guys have raided the fully stocked cupboards in hunger."Those animals better not have touch my Chilli Heatwave Doritos!!"I thought,as I looked out the window of the restaurant."If they do there will be hell to pay.""I wish you would have come since it's New Year,we could have started the year together just like we did last year."Natasha pouted,as she looked at Alex's pretty face over the screen.Alex sighed."You know I would have loved that,but you know what my reasons are. It has nothing to do with you,Ness..Just the man you married."Natasha nudged me in the shoulder,pulling my attention from the snowy street and towards the screen."Hmm,I get it. He hit you-you have a right to feel the way you do."

Jeremy drove the car up the snowy driveway and pulled the car up outside the mansion,after the long drive back from the cabin. Our trip was nice,It might have been just what I needed.Not that it made me feel any better about loosing my Father,but it took my mind off life for a little bit.Now back to reality!!The reality of it was that Jeremy and I have been fooling around the entire weekend,and I wondered would things change between us now that we are home. Walking into that house, would we go back to the married couple that don't communicate with each other.Just like we were before...I guess we'll see."Ollie definitely looked like he regretted drinking that last bottle of champagne last night."I chuckled,at Ollie's expense. "Poor thing,he looked so pale this morning."Jeremy glanced in my direction."It's his own fault,We did warn him.Usually it's me that has one too many-Not him" He undid his s

Alex and I were lingerie shopping and spending some quality time together.Look at me,shopping for cute lingerie to impress the man I married.Crazy how things change.Alex wasn't happy about it!Since he knows that our marriage is a fake,I always go to him to talk about Jeremy. I had to tell him what was going on between us,but from his reaction I'm thinking that it was a mistake to say anything at all.Alex shook his head in disagreement."I don't like it.""I know you don't like him and I can't blame you for that."I released a sigh,as I searched the rack of expensive lingerie."I like him,I want to give this a chance.""He's not a good guy,Ness. I think you know that already. This marriage is just a fake-What happens when the year is up?"He asked."Do you divorce and go back to how yo

Jeremy pulled me onto his lap and my legs parted either side of him,there was only a thin towel covering us both.The only thing that was separating him from pressing against me,it was the only thing that was stopping him from slipping inside of me finally.I wanted him!I've wanted him inside of me,I've been dreaming of this moment for far too long. The man makes me feel naughty and I finally want to know what it feels like to have him inside me.The sauna was creating little droplets of sweat all over my body,all over his too. I liked feeling sweaty with him. I liked the way my body felt against his,all wet and slippy. Slippy enough that he could slide it right inside of me now and we would be good to go."Vanessa.."He moaned,and removed the towel from my body and threw it to the floor of the sauna. He set hi

I took a glance in Jeremy's direction and chuckled on the inside. Just the look on his face was priceless,it was definitely worth the very long flight in coach just to get here.He wasn't thrilled about flying coach, especially on a long flight from San Fran to Scotland. But I had already purchased the tickets and I wanted the trip to be on me not him. I planned it all after all.Jeremy thought we were just coming to Scotland,but he didn't know the reason why. He didn't know that I was taking him to the Macallan Estate,to drink whisky while we spend the day exploring.I know the way to the man's heart.Of course this is not all for him,I have my own reasons for wanting him here.I want some time alone with him-Just the two of us for two whole days. Sleeping together is most definitely on the table.Jeremy snaked his arms around m

VANESSA"I'll be back soon."I told him and kissed him before leaving his hospital room. As I walked the corridor my phone buzzed with incoming texts into the group chat between Alex, Natasha and I. "How is the patient?"Alex asked. He's checking up on me for the third time since he left me earlier. "The patient is sick of being a patient. I'd rather be at home."I replied as I walked. Home... Where is that? It's not the apartment that I live alone in. Is it the Austin Mansion? I don't know anymore."Vanessa..."I heard Ava call me and I stopped walking and turned around. She walked towards me with a smile so I tucked my phone away to be respectful."I'll walk you back to your room, Darling.""Oh okay."I replied and we walked down the corridor towards the elevator. We talked the entire way about Jeremy and what happened to him at the opera house. By the sounds of it, she got a fright seeing her son that way. "How are you feeling... I mean really feeling?"She asked."You don't have to hi
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 85: GUILT
VANESSAI SAT IN MY HOSPITAL ROOM ALONE...Thinking about what happened tonight was traumatising my mind. I was replaying it over and over again, trying to imagine what I could've done differently. What could I have done to change this outcome?I don't know!Michael is dead. Good riddance I guess. I don't know what is the correct way to feel right now, happy that he's gone maybe? I can move on with life and I don't have to worry about seeing him again. His death... The way it happened. It shouldn't have happened like that. He was on his knees, I shot him and he was down in the dirt bleeding. The police were coming... it was already over. Why did he pull that trigger? The door to my hospital room burst open and Alex rushed towards me pulling me into a tight embrace."Oh my God! Thank god you're safe. We were all so worried about you."Alex interrupted my thoughts taking me by surprise. Now I have to find the words to speak when all I wanted to do was forget."I'm okay, so survived."I
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 84: THE FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL
JEREMYTHE CABIN CAME INTO VIEW... It was secluded, just like I thought it would be. There were woods surrounding the cabin and they went on for miles, which meant there were no neighbouring houses to witness what was going on. No one would be close by to hear her scream for help. A car was parked out front... it could be his. MrsWatson mentioned that Bill doesn't come up here much anymore, it can't be a coincidence. The car has to be Michael's. I loaded my gun before getting out of my car which was parked a distance away from the house. I don't want him to know that I'm here before I'm ready. It's dark out so I call that an advantage. He won't see me coming. He probably thinks that I'm out of the way. I walked towards the house and noticed the front door was open wide. A million things were running through my mind but I tried not to get carried away. I walked into the house with my gun out ready to use it. In the living area, there was a fire burning low and a kitchen chair had
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 83: THE WOOD
JEREMY"He wasn't familiar, the police think it might've been the landlord. Maybe he was looking for rent money and Michael didn't have it... I don't know."I said as my father listened on the other end of the phone that was on speaker as I drove. "Michael is clearly a very dangerous human being. The only comfort we have here is that he cares for Vanessa, I don't think he will harm her."My father replied. He was trying to be positive because he knows that I'm fucking losing my mind right now. He knows the man I am, especially when it comes to her. I didn't see a positive in this situation... Not when she's not with me. I was supposed to keep her safe and I failed. "I've been getting calls of condolences all day because of the fake news all over the internet. People think that you're dead, Son. But maybe it will work out in your favour, Michael won't be expecting you to be looking for her.""Maybe... I don't know."I pulled my car up outside the house and turned the engine off. "Eve
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 82: MICHAEL
MICHAELI COULD SENSE HER FEAR...Vanessa doesn't understand where I'm coming from, she doesn't understand how important she is to me. That my life would be nothing without her in it.She's scared of me now, but I had to do what I did. Everything I've done... I've done for her, so we can be together. I was willing to go the extra mile to make sure that she's in my arms and not his.She needs to know everything about me... the things that I keep buried deep down inside. I need her to realise that I'll do everything I can to keep her safe. Everything..! "When my mother died I knew that it was coming, I expected to feel a certain way, Lost or perhaps an overwhelming feeling of sadness like I never felt before. But that's not what I felt. I felt relieved."She gave me a look, judging me for my words just like I knew she would. But wait for it... Because what I tell her next will bring me sympathy, and perhaps if I'm lucky I will gain a little trust."I felt relieved to have her out of m
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 81: GIVING UP
VANESSATHE BEDROOM DOOR OPENED...The light came in from the hallway and it hurt my eyes to look in that direction. It felt as though I have been in darkness for days, but I knew that it had only been a matter of hours. Michael walked into the room and stood in front of me. His tall figure towered over me as he extended his hand out with what looked like fresh clothes. I was still sitting on the bedroom floor with my cut knees against my chest, still dressed in red from the night before. "I brought some fresh clothes for you."He said softly but I continued to look away."Why don't you clean up in the bathroom... when you're done we can talk in the living room. It's warmer in there."I took the clothes from him and stood from the floor. I was more nervous around Michael now, than I've ever been. Now I know what he's capable of and he's worse than I'd ever imagined. Michael unlocked the door to the on-suite bathroom in my bedroom and I walked inside."I can wait right here until you
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 80: THE CABIN IN THE WOODS
VANESSAMY EYES FLUTTERED OPEN...Darkness surrounded me and it escalated my fear. I was laying on my back with not enough room to outstretch my arm. I already knew that I was in the booth of a car. We were moving, but there was quietness like it was a dirt road with no traffic. Where am I?What the fuck happened?I was at the ballet and Jeremy and I fought afterwards. After that, I went to the reception area and mingled with everyone I knew. I didn't have a drink... If Jeremy decided he wanted to talk I didn't want to be intoxicated for the conversation. He wouldn't appreciate that and I didn't want to anger him more.But he had already left... he was too angry with me to stick around. He thought that I was going to up and leave him, it looked like it maybe, but I just needed time to figure it out. What else, Vanessa?Natasha and Ollie... I remember them. I didn't want to be caught in conversation with him nor her so I escaped to the bathroom. The hallway... it was quiet... MICHAE
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 79: THE BLOODY BALLET
VANESSABackstage at the War Memorial Opera House, I was feeling a little anxious, just like I always am before a performance. I have no reason to be, our performance was perfected without a single mistake and ballet dancing is second nature to me. Despite that, I had a pit in my stomach... a fear of tonight not going like I hoped it would. Perhaps it's because Jeremy is coming and our relationship is a little frayed at the moment. I don't know where we stand since the other night.I guess tonight we'll figure that out.I looked at Wesley and noticed the panic on his face."Are you feeling okay?"I asked."I'm just nervous, but I knew I would be. This one is different... it's a big deal. Talent agents from New York will be here tonight, the pressure is on. You're nervous too, Right?""Um, a little. When I'm on stage It's just me and my dance partner, I don't pay attention to the audience."I smiled a reassuring smile to comfort him."You'll do great, you don't have anything to worry abo
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 78: THE EXPLANATION
VANESSAI was sitting on the couch in the living area of my apartment, my body wrapped in my grey waffle throw. Fresh out of the shower I felt sick to my stomach. Alex suggested putting a movie on TV to cheer me up and to take my mind off my worries for awhile. I got through 10 minutes before turning it off. My mind was on Jeremy and what I witnessed at the hotel. The proof was right in front of me, but a part of me still found it hard to believe. I thought after everything we've been through together, he wouldn't jeopardise what we have. "Natasha is coming over tomorrow to bring me out for lunch. Do you want to come with us?"Alex asked."I'll be fun, I think we're going shopping afterwards.""I don't think that's a good idea... Natasha and I are not exactly on speaking terms at the moment."I haven't spoken to Natasha since the coffee shop a couple of days ago. Thankfully she's not pushing me and she's giving me the space that I need."What happened between you two?"Alex looked at m
