The Austin Arrangement novel Chapter 10

JEREMY

We were sitting in a private area of the club,having cute little waitresses in short skirts bring us drink after drink.

There was a view of the crowded nightclub below us,the less fortunate that got drunk on cheap beer and not the expensive stuff like us.

"We could go back to yours?"The sexy little brunette whispered in my ear.

I looked down at her perfect rack in the skimpy black shirt that left little to the imagination,just the way I like it.

"As tempting as that is,I can't. I have a very annoying house guest that won't be happy about me bringing home strange women."

"Strange Women."She moved her hand down to my crotch and gently rubbed."I thought we were getting to know each other pretty well."

I moved my hand up her thigh while she was sitting on my lap discretely touching me."You're making it very hard for me to say no."

"Then don't."She whispered in my ear,before pressing a kiss to my cheek.

I was teased..Definitely. I knew coming out tonight was a bad idea, I knew I wouldn't be able to resist.

A Gorgeous brunette was sitting on my lap and I didn't have it in me to say no.

"Jer, Isn't that your wife?"

I chuckled."What are you talking about,I don't have a.."

It took me a few seconds to realise that I do infact have a wife,an arranged one that I wouldn't even consider a wife.

I stood from my chair,moving the brunette off my lap."Where?"

"Right down there."Toby pointed."The women by the bar in that short black dress."

"I see her."My grip tightened on the metal railing just watching her.

What the hell is she doing here?I was going out tonight,did she follow me here just to show me up and make me look like an idiot.

Antonio stood from his seat and walked towards the railing."She's looking hot,your wife.

That guy she's chatting to looks very keen."

"If that was my wife,I'd be Fucking pissed seeing some guy all over her."Toby said,then looked over at me."You're going to do something about this,Right?"

Fuck,I don't care what she does.But I'm going to look weak if I don't do something about this."Of course I am, I'll handle it."

"No one messes with an Austin's wife."Toby chuckled.

Will you be coming back for the brunette?"

"I'll be back."I shouted,as I made my way towards the private stairs.

I walked down onto the lower level of people crowded around and dancing.

"Hey Handsome."I woman with bright red lips,grinded on my leg to the beat of the music.

"Not now."I walked away and through the crowd towards the bar.

Vanessa came into view,her light brown hair and her smiling face as she flirted with a man that looked just as much into her.

This won't look good for my image and she knows that. Wife of Jeremy Austin seen at a bar flirting with another man. It wouldn't go down well.

"Vanessa,What's going on here?"

She turned around and looked at me in surprise,her eyes even bigger than they usually are."Jeremy,Um Hi. I'm just out with a friend. I didn't know that you were here."

I looked behind her and noticed the girl with the Auburn hair,looking very flirtatious and full on with a tall man.

I remember her from the wedding, a friend of Vanessa's that I don't know the name of.

Honestly I didn't really care.

"I don't care who you're here with.Get home now!!"I glared at her,hoping that it would be enough to scare her into getting a move on.

"But I'm not ready to leave."

"I don't care..You need to leave before you embarrass us both."I grabbed her arm and pulled her off her high stool.

"Hey Man,Let go of the Girl."The man that she had been flirting with got in the way."She already told you that she doesn't want to leave."

I furrowed my brows."Do you know who you're speaking to?

I'm going to take it as you don't since you're talking to me like that."

Vanessa hugged her Friend and they both shared a whisper so no one else could hear.

I had a feeling it was about me though,I was getting the dagger eyes.

Vanessa walked ahead of me out of the bar,I followed behind with security following me to the entrance.

I won't be seeing the inside of that club again.

She walked up the street and I had to run to catch up with her. If my Dad finds out about this there will be hell to pay.

"Vanessa,I have my car. Let me give you a ride back."I pulled my car keys out of my trouser pocket.

"No,Jeremy."She said,abruptly.

"I didn't mean to hit you,it was an accident for Christ's sake.

Don't make this out to be something it isn't."I continued walking alongside her,freezing my bollocks off in the October chill.

"Let me take you back,It's fucking freezing and you're not even wearing a coat."

She stopped walking and looked at me."I'm not getting in a car with you, you've been drinking."

I scoffed."I've only had like two drinks, that's nothing."

She shrugged her shoulders."It's still alcohol in your system.

Bad things happen when people aren't being responsible,I'd rather take a cab."

She flagged down a passing cab and it pulled up at the curb.

"Don't drive home,don't make another mistake tonight."She slipped into the cab.

Fuck Sake!! I sighed,grabbing the cab door before she closed it I slipped in beside her.

It was early still,yet I was going home and leaving a good night and a Gorgeous brunette behind me.

If Vanessa tells my Father about what happened tonight,I'm Fucked.
