<p>"I'm sorry about my brother " Austin said to Heather when he found her making breakfast for herself in the kitchen the next morning at their honeymoon suite in Cagu.<br/><br/>"About what?" She asked as she walked out of the inside part of the island, she was dressed in a white netted dress covering a grey bikini underneath but Austin could still see her shape.<br/><br/>"About what he said last night to Bella , I should have said something" he explained.<br/><br/>"It's okay, it's not like it bothered me " she said taking a sip off her coffee as she looked at him.<br/><br/>"There's lots of food in the fridge if you're hungry" she said .<br/><br/>"I'd fix you something but I suck at cooking" she added as she bent the plate infront of her to expose the toast that she had made and he frowned.<br/><br/>"It's okay" he said, "I don't understand why they found the need to fix a honeymoon for us though," he added as he walked into the kitchen.<br/><br/>"I organized it actually," Heather said as she looked at his back that was facing the fridge adding when he turned to look at her.<br/><br/>"Well, it's a girl's week out for me and my girls, I didn't see the need to skip it" she explained with a shrug.<br/><br/>"Sure," he said as he turned to look for something to eat when a knock came at the door <br/><br/>" That must be them" Heather said as she took one last sip before she rushed out to her girls, Fall, Amber and Haven who excitedly hugged her.<br/><br/>"How's your groom?" Austin heard one of the girls ask as the door closed behind Heather.<br/><br/> Austin sat going through some files on his laptop when a knock came at the door, he stood up lightly to go check who it was, it was late, past midnight and he hadn't seen Heather since morning after she had left with her friends.<br/><br/>He frowned as he looked at his drunk wife that was being carried by two of the attendants, <br/><br/>"We found them passed out at the club" one of the attendants side and Austin frowned <br/><br/>"I'll take it from here " he said as he moved forward to get his wife,he drapped one of her hands over his shoulder then asked the attendants to wait for him a bit before placing her in the couch and coming back handed them 2 hundred dollar bills each, <br/><br/>"For the trouble" he said lightly before turning back to see his drunken wife laying flat on the floor, he frowned, as he reached for her, bending down and lifting her in a princess carry , Heather lightly opened her eyes and looked at Austin, she grinned lightly as she giggled , moving her hand that was drapped on his shoulder to pinch his cheek,<br/><br/>"Hey handsome" she said in a sheepish voice as she looked at him thorugh half open eyes, giggling unreasonably then falling back to sleep .<br/><br/> Austin looked down at Heather in a trance, her mouse brown hair was messily spread across her pretty face, he thought she was pretty , with brown eyes that reminded him of orchids that were coupled with naturally long eyelashes and a pointed nose , she had small lips that were painted pink by nature and she reminded him of summer whenever he looked at her.<br/><br/> Austin had first seen Heather two years ago at his elder brother's wedding, she , unlike everyone else at the party was dressed in a white buggy top and denim jeans, she stood in the bride's room , making a scene.<br/><br/>Austin had been on his way to the groom's room when he heard noises from the bride's room and had turned to look out of curiousity only to hear her speak<br/><br/>"Don't go along with this Sage, you don't owe mom anything" she pleaded to her big sister, who like her had mouse brown hair but her eyes, unlike Heather's were hazel .<br/><br/>"No, if mom really cared about us she would not let you do this" he heard her speak again after Sage said something that he didn't catch on.<br/><br/>Sage was soft , right from the way she looked and to the way she talked ,she was always calm and her voice , no matter her mood was low, she was never angry, as far as he could remember from his encounters with her.<br/><br/>"What about Matt?!" She almost screamed , as she threw her hands angrily in the air, <br/>" Think about what this will do to him, it'll destroy him" she added, <br/>Austin looked curioulsy at Heather who seemed to have been crying, her eyes were red from tears, her face too and she seemed to be more concerned about her sister's happiness than her sister herself.<br/><br/>Austin was brought back to reality as he felt Heather's nails dig deep into his skin, he winced alittle as he turned to look down at her , she seemed to be wretching in his hands,<br/>'not now' he thought to himself, a sense of alarm going through him and he turned to head for the bathroom, but he was too late , he shrekked as he felt his legs get wet with whatever Heather had just thrown up, he closed his eyes in a frown, cursing silently at his luck and then continued to place her down by the toilet, and waited it out with her, he held her hair back in his hands as she puked, wincing lightly from the pain and then continuing to puke.<br/><br/>Austin later helped Heather up to the sink and helped her wash the inside of her mouth when she failed to help herself, he was cursing inside, taking a mental note to tell his wife not to make a habit out of this stupor which he was not enjoying at all, <br/><br/>"Thanks"Heather said lightly as she turned to look at Austin, he frowned as he looked at her , she still had her sense of responsibility at least, she wasn't the angry rich kid he found at the cafe just two days ago, she was different, polite and that right there confused him, did she treat people below her that way and the ones like her this way? Or?<br/><br/> Austin excused himself from the bathroom and to the bedroom , he wanted to get Heather something to change into but he had no idea what.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> </p>
