Stubborn.

[AN- So..yesterday I was in a hurry and couldn't go into details. Why I was in a hurry? I was supposed to post the chapter before the clock hits 12 o'clock. Yes, at my place it was near 12. I literally posted yesterday's chapter at 11:59 and then edited it with updates....and that is also the reason the creator's thought was short. Ok, enough of chit-chat and let's get to the main part.]

"Here is the contract. Take it home and you can suggest the changes." David said as he handed the contract to Austin.

"Okay.." Austin said as he took the contract.

After he reached home, he read the conrract thouroughly and then discussed it with his mother who according to her husband's last words had took over the company. After discussing some points, Austin messaged David about the changes.

Before signing the contract officialy and making it public through the press confrence Austin asked David one question that he was having "Hmm..you made me sign this contract by blackmailing with 'those kind' of photos of Ally....Do you still have them?"

"You know I realized two days ago that the camera never recorded anything..." David said.

"So, you did have that kind of plan anyway" Austin said.

"Well...yeah... but after I found out that you are pursuing her...I threw that idea from my head..." David said.

"You do know your words are just confusing me more and more?" Austin asked.

"Hahaha... actually I had crush on someone from my college...and I met that girl when I was at my buisness trip... " David said with a wide smile on his face.

"Then?" Austin asked.

"We talked and talked and talked...and suddenly I told her I had a crush on her during college...there was awkward silence for some minutes but then...she grabbed my collar and said 'if you had said this in college, won't we be on our 2nd or 3rd honeymoon?'" David said as his face went red.

"Ohhh...that's..that's nice. " Austin said as he scratched the back of his head.

***********************

After some days.

Austin finally had recovered a bit from the shock of losing his father and David acting nice and giving Texas industries a contract and the fact that his camera did not record anything. Phew!

But this was not the only thing that was happening in Austin's head...now that he had time..he started to rewind some things that happened recently.

"What's really happening to me...? Why was it that I started to cry when Ally told me to but I did not even show some expression when same thing was said by Mike, Sam or even Mom? And truly...this all wouldn't have happened if David had not threatened me...and to be honest I was not concerned about my phone but...her..." Austin thought and jerked off from his bed.

"Ok, definetely not! Your mind is thinking funny Austin Texas! I guess its because I haven't got out much, yeah! That is exactly the reason. Let me call Mike & Sam to hang out." Austin thought as he called Mike & Sam.

Of course Mike & Sam had no problems to hang out with him at all. So the trio decided to meet at their usual bar and drink some beer have some snacks and of course a good long talk.

On the other hand, Ally was studying as the first year exams were close...but somehow she was unable to concentrate. She definetely had her books open but her mind was not set for study but thinking about something else or should I say someone else?

"Damn it Ally! Concentrate. Thinking about him won't get you good grades." Ally thought to herself *out loud*

"Him? Him, who?" Ally's father asked as he entered her room to give her some snacks.

"Ah... a novel character!" She lied without batting an eye.

"Hmm, ok." Her father said.

After closing the door, Ally's father went into kitchen where his wife was preparing dinner.

"I think Ally has a boyfriend." Ally's father said to her mother.

"What are you saying?" Her mother asked.

"Yes! I went to her room as you told me to give her snacks and she had this 'lost in someone's dreams' expression on her face. You know the ones you had when we were in college?" Ally's father said as he poked his wife with a playful smile on his face.

"Eeeesh! You still remember those notes I used to write?"

"Of course!" Ally's father said.

At that time, this couple used to talk in small notes left in the locker everyday..

"Phew...jee I didn't noticed I thought that out loud.. Let's just lie down... I'll study when I am calm." Ally thought and lied down on her bed.

*************

King's Bar

Mike, Sam & Austin were chilling with their beer and snacks and talking usual stuff.

"Guys...I think I have got a mental disorder." Austin said as his expression went blank

At this point where Mike & Sam were about to take a sip of beer from glass, the hands stopped and looked at Austin with a confused expression.

"What disorder?" Sam asked as he gulped his own saliva after hearing what Austin said.

"I don't know...these days...I am just thinking about one face all the time like literally all the time..." Austin replied as he took the beer bottle and drank it in one go.

"Whose face?" Mike asked.

"Ally's" Austin replied.

Just when Austin said this, Sam & Mike looked at each other and then looked at Austin. They knew that Austin was drunk, usually people say truth when they are drunk. But Mike & Sam did not say anything and just continued their usual talking.
