The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Fourteen
After speaking with Austin about it all, I agreed to join him for dinner with Markus. Knowing what I know now, I knew I didn't really have much of an option. Austin still felt so bad that he's brought me into this, I kept telling him what's done is done and we can't change that now. I will come up with a plan to get us both out of this, I just have to be careful due to how Markus is. There was someone I wanted to tell and ask what to do, but I knew Austin wouldn't want me to do that. Also, he would immediately tell me I would need to tell someone like the police, but with the little I know about Markus, I would not be doing that. If you haven't already guessed who I'm talking about, it's Roman. He's only been away for coming up two weeks now, I just hope that all of this is out of the way by the time he gets back. We can't have Markus thinking Austin and I are a thing, then he'll see me with Roman! That's just more drama and chaos that I really don't need in my life right now, it will

We didn't speak for most of the car journey there, I think both of us were just trying to wrap our heads around what just happened. There were so many things swirling around my head, who was it that told the police that we know more? Was that a trap or some kind of test from Markus? But I saw the badges the guys were wearing, they were definitely police officers. Austin didn't fool that police officer back there, that's why he ended up giving me his card. I didn't want to show Austin that because I know he'd tell me to throw it away, but a part of me wanted to keep it just in case. I promised Austin that somehow I would figure out how to get him out of this, maybe that police guy is the way forward. We soon pull up at a huge mansion, I thought the one he held the party in was grand, but it did not compare to this. Why didn't he just hold that gathering here? Actually, with what happened that night I guess he wouldn't want all the mess. Or for the police to trace it back to him."Than
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Sixteen
The first half of the car ride was silent, I couldn't believe how Austin stood up to Markus. Whenever he talks about Markus, he tells me how you can never talk back to him. Apparently, he doesn't take it too kindly and will retaliate in some sinister way. I was hoping that wouldn't happen, but I couldn't help but feel grateful for Austin."Thank you" I say looking over at him slightly as I spoke. "I know that must have been terrifying to talk back to Markus like that, but you protected me from being forced to also work for him" I smile where he shakes his head, but does look over at me."You really don't have to thank me Payton, you shouldn't be put in a situation where he would be offering you a job. This is my fault" he says lopping back to him feeling sorry for himself. "But when it comes to you, I would do anything to keep you safe" he says looking over at me with a serious face, before he turns back to look at the road."Would have Markus sent the police around to test if we woul
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Seventeen
Austin needed to get out of the house to try and calm himself down, what Roman said to him just angered him in more ways than he could have imagined. Austin only wants what is best for Payton, everything he is doing is to protect her from Markus and anyone affiliated with him. But Roman calling the police has put that on record, if Markus was to look he’d see that police went around their house to talk. What could Markus think if he saw that?Roman telling him Payton was his girlfriend also bothered him, yes he knows they’re together and have been for years, but he can’t shake the feelings he has for Payton. He has liked her ever since they met back in school, before Roman and Payton ever knew each other. He told Roman the feelings he was having back then and Roman said he needed to back off, he had eyes for Payton first and there was no way Austin was going to come in and take his potential girlfriend. A few weeks later, Payton and Roman began dating where Austin had to just deal wit
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Eighteen
The car ride was silent which was becoming a running theme lately, my head was just worrying and going over what could happen while but also after, I meet with this police officer. He sounded like he already knew somehow we were involved with Markus, so maybe I won’t have to tell him much. I just needed to ensure that Austin was kept out of this, he didn’t know what he was getting himself into until it was too late. Perhaps after this is all over, he can start getting back to the way he was before this all started.We were soon turning the corner to where my work was located, which only caused the nerves I was feeling to just grow and grow. I take a deep breath in before putting a smile on my face, I can’t let Austin see how nervous I am or he’ll ask me what’s really going on.“Are you sure you want to do this, you can wait until tomorrow” Austin says which tells me I didn’t do a good job at hiding this, probably why I never got into acting. “If you’re worried I can come in with you”
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Nineteen
We waited around an hour until another officer joined us, he was also in normal clothes as he walked through the back door. I was worried he wasn’t a police officer at first, but he pulled out his badge that definitely calmed my nerves slightly. Austin rang while we were waiting, my phone was on silent though so I didn’t pick up. He left a message saying he hoped I was okay, I quickly sent one back telling him I was absolutely fine but my boss was taking his time.“Does Austin know you’re doing this?” The first officer asks whilst the second was sorting all the papers out, which was also taking so long too!“No, he thinks I’m talking to my boss about getting some time off due to this” I say pointing at my face, before I look down with a sigh. “Austin will act tough and pretend none of this scares him, but he’s terrified at what Markus could do. If he found out I was meeting with you, he’d tell me how dangerous this was and if Markus found out he’d kill us” I say still looking down at

I walk out of the back door of my work, the fresh air making a smile form on my lips. When travelling here, all I could think about was how terrified I was to have this meeting with Jacob and the other man. But now I have and I kind of know what’s happening, I felt more confident that in the end Austin would be free from Markus. But I also knew how dangerous this was, if Markus does find out what I’m doing who knows what he’ll do?!I pull my phone out where I see all the missed calls from Austin, I did feel my phone going off in my bag but I couldn’t just pull my phone out in the middle of that meeting. I hope he wasn’t too annoyed or worried. I click on his name whilst putting the phone to my ear, it only rings twice before his worried voice comes through.“Finally you’ve called, are you okay?” He asks worriedly, I smile thankful that he wasn’t annoyed that I never rang him earlier.“Yeah I’m okay, sorry it took so long my boss can talk for England!” I laugh thinking of an excuse on
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Twenty-One
It was later in the day, Austin was in the kitchen cooking dinner while I was slowly starting to fix the house. I say slowly as my arms were still hurting, but I refused to stay in this house if it looked as though a tornado had gone through it. I walk over to the mantle piece, picking up the broken photo of Roman, Austin and me. It was taken around two years ago, we had just gone on a holiday up north and the weather was so nice. It was the first day Austin and I actually got along, which is why a photo was taken.With a tiny sigh, I take the photo out of the broken picture frame which goes in the bin. Before I could dwell more on the past, my phone that was sat on the counter makes a text noise. As Austin was closer, he picks it up thankfully, only able to see the name.“A text from Jacob” he tells me which instantly makes my eyes grow wide, I place the photo back down before making my way over to Austin. “Who’s Jacob?” He asks as he hands me over the phone, while I click on the mes

The Step In Girlfriend Final Chapter
*Ten Months Later*I was peacefully walking up and down the market, as it was getting darker earlier once again, the pretty market was just full of fairy lights. This place always reminds me of a fairytale, the people are always so nice when you talk to them.We haven’t been able to come back here in way over a year, with all the chaos we had to stay clear of this place which was sad. But now I was back, the peaceful moment is what I really needed. But due to the peaceful moment, my mind was having its opportunity to start thinking about all the chaos that had filled my life for those months.Of course, my mind drifted to the one and only Roman first and what he was up to now. I know that might be very confusing but also, rather alarming to hear me speak about him that way. But I’m here to tell you, Roman never died that day, even though that’s what Jacob said. When the police looked more into what Markus did to the city, it was found that the device that Markus used to blow up all th

I continue to lay in Austin’s arms pretending to be passed out, the only flaw to my plan is I couldn’t see what was happening because of my eyes being closed. I trust Austin won’t let anything happen, but let’s all remember that Markus is about and when he’s involved, there’s no telling what could happen.“We don’t have time for this, come on” I hear Markus’s panicked voice says from somewhere, I didn’t know how long this was going to stale him but anytime, is better than us running with him.“Can’t you see that my pregnant girlfriend has passed out?!” Austin voice shouts which did nearly make me jump, thank the lord that I managed to not flinch.“Payton is going to be fine, but we really need to leave!” Markus says sounding like he was really losing his temper, but at this moment I didn’t care that much. “I know something that will wake her up” he says and before I know it, my eyes shoot open as he had just thrown cold water on my face.“What the fuck?” I ask looking down at myself,
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Sixty-Three
Around an hour later, Austin and I were back in his car heading towards the seafront again. I feel like this is all I have done recently, just drive to and from the same places over and over again. We had both gone over the plan with Jacob and I felt confident, that we both knew what we had to do.The car was silent as we sat there, I think we were trying to come to terms with what we had just learnt, Austin more than me. While also, worrying if a certain part of this plan falls through, which is something we cannot let happen!“I still don’t understand how you were able to hide what you were doing from me for so long, either you’re really good or I don’t pay attention” Austin says breaking the silence, I look over at him laughing as he looked back at the road.“I did it to keep you safe and I knew what you would have said if I would have told you, I’m sorry I kept it from you, I hope you’re not too angry” I say looking over at him with a tiny smile, I would understood fully if he was

We soon head home and begin to pack our things, Austin told me that we would have to pack one bag each. We didn’t need to be lugging a heap of bags with us when we were trying to run, I kept agreeing with him before I start worrying about the plan that was ahead of us.I had packed a bag of important things before walking out into the living room, I could still hear Austin rushing around in his room getting his things ready. My eyes begin to scan the living room a place I had called home for a few years now, trying to take in any details that I could. I had no idea if we were going to be able to come back to this place once we leave, not because we’re going off with Markus as I know we’re not. But after he gets arrested, we’re going to be put in witness protection. I know for sure that we won’t be able to live here, this will be the first place that Markus will look.I still couldn’t really believe that this whole nightmare is going to end soon, the event that has taken over my life f
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Sixty-One
Austin just looks at me for a second, I had to try and act like I was somewhat surprised over what Markus had said. But I knew before Markus knew what was going to happen, Jacob gave me the heads up a few days ago.“I mean I’m happy that you’re taking us into consideration, but Payton and I can’t go on the run with you Markus” Austin says turning back to talk to Markus, I knew Austin didn’t want to because he knew I didn’t like being around Markus but also, because of the predicament that I was currently in.“I know it’s not the ideal situation, but you’re going to have to if you don’t want the police to turn their sights onto you” Markus says not getting why Austin was so hesitant, I was more shocked Austin was kind of telling Markus no for once.“We can’t psychical go on the run” Austin said looking to me as he said it, I think he was trying to spell it out to Markus who clearly, wasn’t getting what we were trying to say!“Sure you can, I have been on the run before I came here and

Austin soon spots Markus standing there too, lucky for us he hadn’t turn around to look at us yet so we had a few seconds. Now he was in my eye line, I couldn’t stop the scared feelings that were running through my body.“I know you’re scared Payton, but trust me you’re going to be fine” Austin whispers looking down at me as we walked, I take a deep breath in sending him a smile letting him know I was somewhat fine, even though my heart was going at a million miles an hour. As we get even closer to Markus, you could see from the way in which he was standing, that he was also panicking. We even managed to get right up behind him and he didn’t know it, this Markus is one I’ve never seen before!“Markus?” Austin says when he still didn’t turn around, this does make him jump and finally turn around to look at us standing right behind him.“You two don’t understand how happy I am to see your faces, you won’t believe the amount of shit I’ve had to deal with this morning and it’s only 10am!
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Fifty-Nine
In no time, we arrive at the sea front, my anxiety still off the charts at this point. One thing that I have learnt about Markus, you never know what his next move is going to be and there really isn’t much point trying to predict it either. Whenever you think a situation is going one way, Markus sweeps it from under you and sends you in a complete spin!We drive up and down for a few minutes, I was hoping we would be able to spot him and be able to stay in the car while we talk. That way if the conversation for whatever reason was to go south, we will be able to make a quick getaway. But I couldn’t catch sight of the man even once, even Austin said he couldn’t see him anywhere.“I think our best bet would be to park the car and look for him on foot” Austin says after a few more minutes with no luck, that plan was definitely not what I wanted.What if Markus has somehow found out that I have been the one helping police? Could this whole meet up be some kind of surprise attack? Markus
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Fifty-Eight
I was sat in my bed just letting my thoughts wonder, I don’t think I have fully had a chance to think over everything that has happened. Not only with Markus, or the feelings for Austin that are slowly taking over my thoughts. But the little life inside of me, I place my hand on my stomach just staring at the ceiling.I still can’t believe this is all happening, my mind has been so consumed with everything else that I haven’t fully processed what’s really happened. I just hope when the time comes, everything will be back to normal.The noise of my phone getting a message snaps me from my thoughts, I look over to see it sitting on the table. I had a thought I could just leave it, but I knew it might be urgent so I had to force myself to stand up to see who it was.I pick it up to see a message from Jacob, all it said was the plan was underway, but I knew exactly what that meant. I thought I would have more time to prepare myself, but it looks like it’s starting right now! The spies wer

We were soon pulling into the apartment complex, I feel like this is all I have done over the recent weeks. Just gone to and from seeing Jacob, Markus than home again, not how I thought my life would be going if I’m being honest. Jacob soon pulls up at the bottom of the steps where I send him a smile, I look over at see the lights on telling me that Austin had come home before I got back.“What should I tell Austin?” I ask looking over, I think I’m fully out of excuses at this point, I’ve had to use so many recently! “I can’t say I went to work today, he only told me yesterday that he had drove passed my work and saw it will be closed for a few weeks” I say my best excuse was out the window, he knows that most of my friends are out of town until all this trouble blows over and Brooke is missing.“Just say you got a call from the station telling you Roman wanted to see you, you were picked up by an officer and took over to see Roman” Jacob says which I soon think about for a second, th
