58 Pay Back

"I know the video clarity is not good but I feel relief after revealing his secret and I hope you liked this surprise gift of mine," Aaron said with mischievous smile on his face when Jessica was watching the video for the second time.

The video wasn't clear as it was taken seven years ago.

It was taken during the night in Oasis. The temperature was cold as it was mid night. Everyone slept but Austin stood in the balcony to feel the fresh air. He could hear the sound of waves till his room.

"Bro. Say hey," Aaron said while taking a video of Austin and his friends who were asleep.

Austin ignored him.

"Why are you standing alone.The nation wants to know," Aaron spoke with enthusiasm.

"Stars," Austin replied but his eyes were looking at another balcony. The lights were still on. He wanted Jessica to come out so that he could talk to her in that starry night but Jessica didn't come even after waiting for an hour.

"But your eyes are looking for something else," Aaron laughed.

"Let's go inside, " Austin decided to go inside.

Just when he was going inside, he heard the sound of the door open. He looked back instantly to see Jessica. But when he looked at her clearly, he saw her walking unsteadily. She had a glass in her hand and she was taking the support of the wall to sit on a chair but then she passed out after coming out of the room.

"Jessica?!" Austin jumped on the other side when he saw Jessica fall down on the floor. The balconies of each rooms were so close that one could jump from one balcony to another and enter other people's rooms if the doors were left opened.

Aaron jumped after Austin with his video camera. He didn't stop taking the video.

Jessica was still unconscious even after his attempts to wake her up, Austin told Aaron to call the other girls to help her. When Aaron went Inside he saw the girls lying on the bed.

"They are not in a position to wake up now," Aaron said to Austin while laughing.

Meanwhile, Austin took her in his arms and placed her on the couch gently.

"Looks like the girls planned perfectly for tonight," Aaron said looking at the empty bottles.

He placed his camera on the table while it was still in recording mode, he took a glass of water and sprinkled it on Jessica's face.

"What the hell are you doing?" Austin hissed.

"Can't you see. I'm waking her up," Aaron said and poured water in his hand from the glass to sprinkle at her again.

"Don't even dare to do that again," Austin glared at him.

"Who said it was for her, it is for me," Aaron said and sprinkled the water on his face after seeing Austin's cold gaze at him.

Aaron took few steps back and looked around to avoid Austin's cold gaze upon him and that was when he found a bottle of vodka on the edge of the table. He wanted to try having a vodka shot the moment his eyes fell on the bottle. He immediately took a glass to have it. Since it wasn't first time for Aaron to have a vodka shot, he was able to mix it well with required quantity of lemon juice.

Austin wiped Jessica's face because of what Aaron did earlier. It was the second time he saw her sleeping face. He felt her soft skin when his hand was on her cheek. He wanted to tell her how much he loves her and wondered if he would get a chance one day.

Jessica opened her eyes drowsily and saw Austin. Everything looked blur but she managed to recognise him. She was like a sleeping beauty waiting for her prince charming.

"You were, you are and you will be the one I love," he whispered into her ears placing his lips upon hers.

Aaron who was having his second shot choked in shock when he saw Austin kiss her.

"What have you done, you pervert," Aaron said in a hushed tone. The guy was utterly shocked.

Jessica closed her eyes as soon as he kissed her .

"Let's .... let's leave now," he whisper-yelled and pulled Austin's hand to make him stand as he was on his knee beside Jessica; reluctant to leave.

Aaron didn't know what to do. He was blank after seeing what Austin had done. He even forgot the camera which was on the table and forced Austin to get out of the room. After going to the balcony, he realised that he was holding vodka in his hand instead of the camera. He went inside again and took his camera after pausing the video in hurry to leave from the room.

After jumping to their balcony, Aaron still couldn't get out of the shock but on the other hand Austin had a smile on his face.

"Good thing that she didn't see you I wonder what ..."

"She saw me. I guess," Austin said.

"What? you ki .. you did that even after she saw you?" Aaron asked him.

"She closed her eyes again, so I'm not sure," Austin said in nonchalance.

Aaron was stupefied after listening to Austin.

He never thought that Austin was serious

about her to this extent. The next day Aaron didn't come out of his room and also he didn't allow Austin to get out of the room. Aaron was afraid that Jessica might remember if she meets Austin.

While Austin was determined that no matter what he won't leave her hand. He knew that he would make her his girl one day and years later he was going to marry her just like he wanted.

Even after replaying the video for more than five times. Jessica still couldn't believe what she just saw. Yesterday, when she asked him to take her to the place where they kissed for the first time, Austin said that it would take hours to reach. She didn't understand why he told her like that because it took them only an hour to reach the lake when they went there for the first time. But now everything made sense to her. She understood that Austin was talking about Oasis and not lake since Oasis was the place where he kissed her for the first time.

Jessica who was nervous until now had a mischievous smile on her face. She wanted a pay back for the stolen kiss.
