Violet Ashlock

"When will you go back to Miami?" I asked as we walked along the Brooklyn bridge.

"The day after tomorrow." He answered and I nodded.

"Thankyou for the dinner, it was delicious." I smiled at him and he smiled nodding.

"Glad that you like it.. so tell me why you always come here everyday?" He asked and we sat on an empty bench.

"I don't like being alone. I hate being alone. That's why I always come here and enjoy seeing people come and go.. along with the view and sometimes the moon." I said and he nodded.

"Did something happen in the past?" He asked and I sighed.

"When I was in my 2nd year of college, I went out alone from the library to go back to my dorm. 3 men stalked me and almost raped me at that time. They took off all of my clothes and thank God my friend saved me. I know when I'm in my house.. I have guards but still.. I feel insecure."

"You might get rape here too.. you're alone too."

"It's an open space, Austin. At least.. there's a lot of people here besides I always come home around 8 from here."

"Well.. you know that you won't be alone from now on." He said that and I turned to him. I smiled widely and turned my head back to the view.

"I will come back to New York in a month." He stated.

"Well.. good to hear that."

"If you agree to try this.. I will come back here next week." He said and that made me turn my head to him. He smiled and raised his eyebrows.

"Well.. I guess I'll see you next week." I said and he chuckled.

"Glad to hear that."

"Come on.. I'll take you home.. It's chilly and we have work tomorrow." He said and I nodded. We got up and he offered his hand. I took it and we walked hand in hand. I can't stop smiling.. I love this feeling. Everything just feels so right.

"Thankyou for today.. really.." I said to him once again and he nodded. When we arrived at his car, he stopped me and I looked at him confused.

"You surprise me today."

"Hmm?"

"You just surprise me in every way.." He smiled.

"Well.. I'll take that as a compliment."

"Because it is." I slipped my hand to his cheek, I looked at him for a moment and then I kissed his cheek. He opened the door for me and I got inside. He walked to the driver seat and got in. He started the car and drove away.

"Thank You.. for today."

"Stop saying thankyou." He said and I chuckled.

"Sorry." I said as I opened the door. I was going to get out but he stopped me. He pulled me back in and cupped my face. He kissed me slowly.. It was sweet and just romantic.

"Night." He smiled and I bit my lips completely out of my mind because of that kiss.

"Night.."

"Don't do that." He pointed at my lips and I chuckled.

"See you.. next week.. right?"

"Yeah.. See you next week." He said and waved. I waved him back and walked inside. I can't contain my happiness.. I jumped happily and walked to my room. I plopped to my bed and closed my eyes.

I swear.. I'm going crazy.. I'm so happy.. gosh.. After that.. I erased my make up and went straight to sleep.

The next day, I woke up and went back to work. I drove to the office and got out of my car. Suddenly a message came and it's.. Austin.

Morning sunshine..

I know that I say I will see you next week but.. apparently I can't wait. Go to the brunch restaurant right in front of your office.

See you there

A.P

My breath got hitch when I received the message, I looked around like an idiot and walked out from the building. I saw the brunch restaurant and went there. I walked inside and looked around the place. Suddenly a waiter gestured to me to go up, I walked up and there he was.. looking strikingly handsome in a suit.

"Hey." I smiled and he gestured to me to sit.

"Hey.. beautiful. Let's just order first." I ordered a blueberry with vanilla ice cream and he ordered a english breakfast.

"I can't wait for a week.. it will kill me." He stated and damn that made me blush so hard.

"How do you even know this place? I have never been here." I said as I looked at the restaurant.

"I've been here with Blake and Jean."

"Ah.. Blake and Jean, the cutest couple."

"They're not cute.. They're quite scary." He said and I chuckled.

"What do you think about settling down?" I asked looking straight to his eyes and he just looked at me with an unreadable expression.

"I don't want to settle down." He said and that hit me. If this relationship continues.. it won't have any ending.

"Why?"

"You know why.. Violet.." He said and I nodded.

"I know.. Just like every billionaire in America. Not wanting to settle down and just.. loving their bachelor life."

"Don't you too? Still wanting to have fun.."

"Well if I want to settle down.. I will.." I said and he looked at me with a really unreadable eyes. I know from that moment that this guy is up for something. He wants something from me..

It's pretty clear and I'm not dumb to realize it.

1. He doesn't want to settle down

2. He came to me when he clearly knew that I wanted him for a really long time

3. He's up for something

Lastly.. I know he came to me to play a game..

We both know inside our hearts.. in the end.. I will be the one who lose the game.. but you know.. let's turn this table around.. shall we?

Austin Portwalt.. you pick the wrong girl to play your games..

"So.. Can I stay at your place tonight?" I asked and that got him a little bit shock.

"Stay at my place?"

"Well.. we won't be seeing each other a week. It will kill me you.. you know.." I smiled sweetly at him.

"Sure."

Violet Ashlock

"How's work?" He asked as I entered his apartment with a pizza box on my hand.

"You bought pizza?"

"It was okay.. and yeah I bought pizza. You like it right?" I said and turned to him.

"Yes.. I'm starving.. I was going to ask you if we should buy a take out."

"I got you.." I smiled and waved it. I walked to the living room and opened it. I walked to the sink to wash my hands and walked back. I took off my blazer leaving me in my white shirt. I pulled up my hair into a ponytail and sat down on the ground.

"Austin!" I called and he walked out from the room in his muscle tee. Gosh.. please don't tempt me.. he looks so hot in that. He walked towards me.. and looked at me confused.

"What?"

"Not eating at the table?"

"Where the fun is that? Sit down.. can you turn on a movie?" I asked and he nodded.

"What do you want to watch?"

"Something like.. Thor or Spiderman.."

"Got it." He turned on spiderman

"Let's dig in.. I'm starving." I said and took one. I ate it while watching the movie without caring about anything.

"This is good.."

"Is it? Glad that you like it.. it's my favorite." I smiled to him and he chuckled nodding. I continued eating and eating and eating.. I ate 5 big slices all by myself.

"That was good.." I said and turned to him. I chuckled to see there's a sauce smudged near his lips. I leaned to him and kissed it. I licked the sauce and he looked at me disbelief.

"There's a sauce there.." I smiled. He put his pizza down and leaned to me. He cupped my face and kissed the side of my lips.

"There's a sauce there too.." He smirked and I chuckled. I smacked his chest playfully and turned my head to the movie again.

"Up for a drink?" He asked suddenly and I nodded.

"Yeah.." I said and he got up. He walked to the kitchen taking a bottle of alcohol along with the glasses. I decided to open my shirt because it's damn hot. I'm left with my white tank top.

He sat down again and looked at me with his lustful eyes. I took the bottle and opened it. I smirked and took the glasses too from him. I poured it and gave it one to him.

"Close those mouth babe.. you'll catch a fly." I sipped the alcohol and turned my head to the movie again. I sipped my alcohol slowly and turned to Austin. He was already looking at me. He put his glass down and took mine down. He leaned slowly to me and kissed my lips slowly.

I moved to his lap and circled my legs around his hips. He cupped my face to kiss me deeper. We both stopped and looked at each other.

"Be my girlfriend?" He said and I smirked. I know what he's up to now.

"Yes." I smiled widely and circled my arms around his neck. He kissed me again and there's a lot going on in my mind. Let's the two of us play this game.. even though I know I'll be the one who loses in the end.

Suddenly his doorbell rings.. I got up and Austin cursed under his breath.

"Take the door babe.." I said and he nodded. He walked to the door and opened it. Revealing Jean and Blake.. I put on my shirt because it will be inappropriate to greet someone just in my tank top.

"Well.. you didn't answer your phone so I decided-" Blake smirked when he saw me. He looked at Austin.

"Oh.. Violet right?"

"Yes, I'm Violet." I shook their hands.

"You know her?"

"Well.. I met her once when she's with my friend."

"Yes.. Zenny."

"Aren't you going to let us in?" Blake looked at Austin smirking big time.

"You just interrupt my time with my girlfriend, dumbass."

"Oh!" Blake and Jean looked at Austin in shock.

"Girlfriend?" Blake teased him.

"Shut up and just come in.. What's up?" Austin said and they walked inside.

"Spiderman huh?" Jean asked Austin and I raised my eyebrows.

"Shut it, Jean."

"Oh yeah.. This is the file that you want. You workaholic." Blake threw a file towards him and he caught it.

"So.. is he sweet?" Jean asked and I chuckled.

"Yeah.. I guess.. we just hooked up not long ago."

"Aww that's okay, me and Blake started fast too." She said and I nodded.

"Babe.. let's go! I don't want to get a bruise tomorrow." Blake said, making us laugh. Jean linked her arm to Blake's.

"Wear protection.." Blake winked to both of us.

"Get lost, you idiot!" Austin hissed and kicked Blake's ass. They're bestfriend and I'm aware about that.

"I'll see you in LA.. baby.." Blake teased him again by touching his face.

"Jean.. take this idiot out."

"Will do!" Jean pulled Blake out.

"Bye!" They said and Austin closed the door. I chuckled and turned to him.

"They're cute.. not scary.."

"They're scary.. trust me."

"You and Blake are best friend right?" I asked as he put his arm around my shoulder. We walked back to the sofa.

"We basically grow up together in LA and then I decided to move to Miami 5 years ago. We're like brothers.. just from a different mother."

"Well.. you both do look like brothers.. acting funny and joke around a lot." I said and he nodded. I leaned my head to his chest.

"Sleepy?" He asked.

"A little bit.. work got me good." I closed my eyes.

"Let's just go rest.." He said and I shook my head.

"I'm lazy to walk again.." I said and he picked me up. He walked to his bedroom and put me on his bed.

"Cuddle me.." I said gesturing to him to lay beside me. He chuckled and laid beside me. I hugged him and went straight to dreamland.

Violet Ashlock

Playing games in your life that you know you won't win in the end.. will pretty much hard. I know so well that I will lose in the end and even will fall in love with him. Just like I predicted.. Austin is using me completely just for work. He thinks I'm dumb for not realizing but little did he know that I'm playing along with him.. wanting to know until how far he will go.

I don't know if he's dumb or what.. he never cares about me. He just took me everywhere and everytime he made a deal. He's playing games with in a really obvious way.

"Have you eat?" I asked and he just ignored me. I walked out from the room and bought myself a bagel. I ate it myself and walked back to the room.

"Babe, let's have a date." I said and he looked up.

"Violet baby.. I'm busy." He might say sweet things but he never mean it.

"Oh come on, you always busy.. I'm your girlfriend, at least you should spare time for me." I said and he sighed.

"Okay fine.. Where do you want to go?"

"You need to show me around Miami.. I never know this place." I said.

"Okay fine.."

"At least you need to take me out because we're been dating in the office for almost a month." I said sarcasticly and he just never cares. He got up and put his files away.

"Let's go." He smiled to me and geez.. I've never see that smile since a month ago when he asked me to be his girlfriend. He walked to me and held my hand. When we're going to walk out from his office.. suddenly someone bursted inside.

"Oh shit.." Austin hissed and I looked at him confuse.

"Baby.." Wait? What! Baby? The girl ran to Austin and hugged him. My eyes widen as she kissed his cheek.

"Hey!" I pushed her until she fell down.

"Violet!" Austin scolded me and I looked at him disbelief.

"You've got to be kidding me.." I hissed and walked out from the room ignoring whether he will make out or do whatever he want to do with that girl. I turned off my phone and walked out from his building.

I walked towards the beach.. in heels. I hissed and cursed myself for this. I was pissed with Austin's attitude these days.. he never cares and just.. ignoring me all the time. I know that he's just using me but at least he needs to treat me right.

"Wow.. walking in heels on the beach is not a good idea." I ignored whoever said that beside me.

"Hey.. I'm warning you that it's quite dangerous to walk in-"

"Shut up!" I hissed as I turned to the guy who warned me.

"Go away and just mind your own business.." I hissed coldly and then I fell.

"See.. I told you." He laughed and I ignored him. I got up and took off my heels.

"Shut it." I hissed and walked along the beach. I looked at the sea when suddenly the guy earlier walked beside me.

"Marcus Prens."

"Nice meeting you.. bye" I said ignoring him by continue walking.

"Hey.. hey.. can I get your name?" He asked and I ignored him.

"Violet!" I hissed hearing Austin's voice.

"Violet huh?"

"Hey babe.. don't be mad." Austin ran to me and held my hand.

"Get lost!" I hissed at him.

"Wow dude.. if she asks you to get lost.. get lost.." Marcus said and I ignored the both of them.

"Violet look.. I can expla-"

"I'll see you in New York." I said to him and walked away leaving him alone. I walked to the side and put my heels on.

"Let me help you.." Marcus held my hand and I put on my heels.

"Thanks." I said without looking at him and walked away.

"Well.. at least I know your first name.. which is Violet.."

"What do you want?" I stopped and looked at him.

"What did he do?" He asked me in a serious tone.

"We just met like 5 minutes ago.. and now you want to butt into my business?"

"What did he do?" He repeated the question and I sighed.

"Look.. Marcus, thankyou for your concern but I need to go." I said and he nodded lightly.

"At least.. can I know your last name?"

"Violet Ashlock." I said and then turned my body around. I walked away to my hotel. I packed my bags when suddenly someone knocked on my door. I opened it and as I expected.. it's Austin.

Quite an effort.. I see

"Go away.."

"Look.. Violet."

"Come in.." I said to him and he walked in. I closed the door and walked inside.

"Look Violet.. My parents currently arranging marriage me with that woman earlier."

"And you will get married to her?"

"Why would I? I have you remember." He held the both of my hands. What a lame excuse..

"Really?" I asked and I know he will think that I'm dumb for believing him.

"Yes, please believe me.. She came because my parents ask her to come." I raised my eyebrows.

"Your parents don't know that you have a girlfriend?" I asked him disbelief.

"Uhmm about that.." I pushed his hand away and sighed.

"Look.. Violet."

"What excuses will you make this time?"

"Don't go back to New York, tonight let's have dinner with my family." I rolled my eyes..

"You won't even say about me to them.. if I didn't ask you right?" I asked and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Violet. There's a lot of things going on in my mind. I'm sorry." He said and okay.. let's continue the game.

"Okay fine.. I will let you slip today."

"Thankyou babe." He crashed his lips to mine and I kissed him back right away.

Let's see until when you're going to keep up with this game..
