Austin's POV

Zipping up my suitcase. I pick it up and carry it to the front door. "I'm about to head out, Casey. I'll be gone for a month."

She steps out of the room wearing a white dress that has a slit up the side of the leg and there's a dip at the back. "Me, too. The shoot is going to take place when I get there." Leaning forward she kisses me.

Pulling her against me I deepen the kiss. After a couple of minutes, we pull away. "Bye," I grab my suitcase and leave the house.

When I get to my black BMW I hit the alarm button and the alarm turns off. I place my stuff in the trunk and then climb into the drivers seat.

Reversing the car out of the parking lot I turn the car to the left and head towards the small town I grew up in.

***

Three hours into the drive I pull into a service station and fill up the car. Scanning my card I pay for it and then climb back onto the car.

Pulling away from the service station I continue along the road until I reach the town.

A smile spreads across my face as I see the sign to the town. I pull the car over and step out of it. Taking a picture with the sign I put it on Facebook with the caption.

I'm home.

I put it online and a few people start sending me a message.

Ronnie Abercrombie: Can't wait to see you.

Nina Abercrombie: Looking good, Aus. ;)

I'm surprised that she would say something like that to her sisters ex-boyfriend.

Mischa Coleman: What time are you getting to the club? You owe me a drink, sweetheart. ;)

Of course I do.

Austin Wilde: Mischa Coleman: I'll be there at 7 pm.  I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Putting the phone back into my pocket. I climb into the car and continue driving until I reach Spencer Hotel.

I climb out of the car. Grabbing my suitcase I head to the office. Opening the door I wait in the queue until all the people in front of me has been checked in.

"Austin," A female voice says. "Is that you?"

Turning around I come face to face with Jordyn, "Hey, Jordyn. What are you doing here?"

"My husband owns this place." she walks behind the counter and write on the computer. "I'll show you to your room, Mr Wilde."

Grabbing the card from the desk she leads the way to the lift. She presses the button and we wait for the lift door to open. "I'm surprised that you're staying here instead of going home."

"I'm here for three nights and then I'll be staying at home with my parents. I just didn't want to wake them up after the reunion."

A smile spreads across her face. "I've seen photos of you and that beautiful girlfriend of yours. I was hoping she would be here today."

"She's flown over to Milan for a photoshoot. Apparently, she's going to be the new face of Axel's."

A frown appears on Jordyn's face as she thinks hard about what I've told her. She pulls her phone out of her pocket and typed something in it. "There's no magazine called Axel. Are you sure that's what she said?"

"Yes," pulling my phone out of my pocket I give her all the details that Casey shared with me.

Going through the phone she checks out all the information. "It's all a scam, Austin. She's been lying to you. I wonder if she's actually in Milan."

"Jordyn, you don't have to worry about my girlfriend and I. Do she's lying I'll find out sooner or later. Can you just show me to my room I want to get ready for the reunion."

When we get to the room Jordyn gives me the card. "If you need anything you can find me at the reception desk until 5 pm. Then I'm getting ready to party."

Opening the door I enter the room. The walls are painted a peach colour, the curtains match it and there's a king-sized bed in the room to my left.

A living room to the right and the kitchen is opened spaced. There's a balcony outside the kitchen door.

I'm glad that I booked a room.

My phone goes off and I look at it.

Ronnie: I'm at Lizzie's place and she's not here.

Me: That's a good thing. She has to beat you for that thing you did to her on graduation night.

Ronnie: What did I do?

Me: You drugged her and she thought she was drunk. It's a good thing that we live in a small town and people know everything.

Ronnie: She was safe at the party.

Me: Lizzie, didn't stay at the party after you gave her the drink. She was walking home and made it only three blocks before she had to rest.

Ronnie: That was during the time her Mom had a stroke.

Me: that's right.

Ronnie: Shit, she's not going to happy knowing this piece of information.

Me: Let's hope she doesn't learn about it.

Putting my phone away I head to the bathroom and strip out of my clothes. I turn the shower on and keep my hand under the faucet. When the temperature is adjusted to what I like I step in. I wash my hair and body.

Stepping out of the shower I grab the towel and walk to the room. I pull out a pair of blue boxers and put it.

Going through the suitcase I find my suit and put it on.

Grabbing my phone I put it in my pocket and head out the door. I walk down the hallway and press the lift button.

When the door opens I step inside and press the button for the ground floor.

The door opens on the 16th floor and a couple steps inside. They are wearing formal wear and the guy looks over at me. "Hey, Austin. It's great to see you."

"Trevor?"

"Yep, I surprised that you remembered my name. A couple of years ago, when we were at the pub you couldn't remember my name, but a few guys you were sitting with recognised me."

"Were you expecting them to invite you over for a drink?"

"Yes, I did."

"The guys and I will have a drink with you tonight."

His girlfriend places her hand on his arm and then she whispers something in his ear. He starts laughing.

The door opens on the ground floor and I step out. I walk out the door and wave a cab down.

Climbing into the cab I tell him that I need to go to Club 21.

It takes fifteen minutes before we pull in front of the club. Paying the driver I step out and walk to the front door of the club.

When I get inside there's two-woman sitting behind the desk.

Mischa smiles at me. "Hey, Austin." She slides the name tag across the desk. "It's good to see you."

A smile spreads across my face. "You, too, Mischa. Hi, Harley."

Harley flutters her eyes at me and then twirls a piece of her hair around her finger. "Save me a drink during the night, handsome."
