Chapter 15: Rough

Every morning in Austin's life is beautiful. He feels fresh. He feels good. He feels sleepy. Sometimes he would just want to stay home, play with his cat all day and do absolutely nothing. He doesn't have a choice today. He has to get up. Get ready and be at AWAN company. He rubs his bare eyes and yawns. Please rain today. Please rain today He wishes so he doesn't have to shoot that stupid ad film. His cat jumps in his bed and meows. He holds her in his lap and pats her. He tries to kiss her and she hisses. This cat doesn't like to be kissed. The cat jumps down from bed and meows. She's hungry. She wants food. Austin shoves the blanket away and gets food for his cat. The cat forgets everything when she's eating. Ausy smiles and goes to freshen up and take a shower.

He brushes his teeth and looks at his reflection in the mirror. This face was ordinary a few years ago but not now. He turns on the shower and the hot water falls on his naked body. His fans must envy the water that gets to travel his body.

The water feels warm and somewhat ticklish. He takes some shower gel and rubs it all over. So slowly he's doing it that it looks like he's massaging his arms. He rubs his broad shoulders and his neck where everyone wants to leave a hickey.

He also rubs his thighs and the little buddy between his legs. The sensation of it is so intense that when he touches it, it turns him on. His own hand is making him horny. He knows it's not the right time to get horny. But there's no specific time to be horny either. He puts his right hand on the wall and hides his face under it. He closes his eyes and bites his lips. His left hand is doing all the work. When you do it with your left hand, it doesn't feel like it's yours. Like your own dick doesn't recognize your own hand.

Austin is so hard right now that he doesn't realize the sexy moaning sounds he's letting out. He takes heavy breaths and sucks his lips. The speed is increased a little. Every stroke makes him a little closer to coming. This is it. A few more and he's going to come. Ahh ahhh. He's moaning loud. He's breathing faster and just before the climax he hears his phone ringing. It totally distracted him from his important job. He sighs as he couldn't finish what he started. His little buddy is still hard but stroking it more times isn't helping.

He finishes his shower and goes out to check who's calling. It's the manager. Of course, it's the manager.

"Where the fuck are you? I told you not to come late!" The manager shouts. So loud that Austin wants to rip off his vocal cords.

"Relax," Austin says "I am not late. Yet. I'll be there in fifteen minutes"

If Austin wants to be there on time he has to skip breakfast. Which is not a big deal. The big deal is that little buddy is not little anymore.

He tries to calm it down but doing it while driving is making it even harder. He whistles to distract but nothing seems to help. He looks around and waves hi to some of his fans who noticed him. He looks down and finally. Little buddy is back to normal.

Austin gets stuck in the traffic and he's glad. He looks to his left and sees his picture on a billboard at the top of a renowned shopping mall. But besides the entrance of the mall, an old man wearing shabby clothes is selling red balloons to children. Beside the old man stands a gas cylinder. Usually, Helium is used to make the balloons float. But this old fool is using Methane which is flammable and extremely dangerous for kids to play with. Austin was just about to get out and warn the old man about it but two security guards came and did the job. Bright was relieved.

He is in front of the AWAN building. He now hates this stupid place. He doesn't want to get inside and see the stupid beautiful faces of the employees who work there. Not to mention the stupidest of all. The president. The president walks around like he knows what everyone else is thinking. And always wears a smile on his face. No one can see through the mask he wears.

Austin frowns as he looks at the building. The manager kept texting his entire way. Maybe reading his texts helped his buddy come down a bit. But he can still feel the blood pressure down there. Who knows what will happen if he sees someone appealing. The imagination stops as he sees the manager rushing towards him. He releases his seat belt and comes out.

"What the fuck! You said fifteen minutes and you arrive now?" The manager yells.

Austin is grateful to his manager. He has handled his job pretty well all these years but he needs to stop yelling. He wants to yell back at him but that is not him. He may hate someone very much but he would never disrespect him if that person is older than him.

"Would you calm down? I am here, aren't I?" Austin says calmly. Before the manager could yell a few more times he chuckles and fakes a smile as he sees the handsome president coming out from the building on the car window.

Austin gets lost to see the sudden behavior of his manager.

"Ah, Austin. Welcome. I was about to go to your condo to pick you up. Well, now that you're here let's start the shoot, shall we?" He says with that same smile he gives to everyone.

Others might not see it but Austin surely does. He wants to punch this guy in the face so he can't smile anymore.

Austin can't look that furious. He has to maintain a calm personality here. Violence won't stop anything. So he smiles back.

"Sure. Let's start" he says.

"We have arranged everything for you. Your makeup team is here as well. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask" the manager says as he leads them to the shooting spot.

They made the second floor of the building look like a playground for basketball. And the third floor looks like a football field. AWAN sure put a lot of money in this. A well-known videographer was hired and as well as a screenwriter. VFX will also be used so that everything looks real which already does.

Austin will wear the sportswear and enter the field with his teammates. Other models. Two teams will play one round and of course, Austin's team will win who will be wearing the new sportswear by AWAN. After the match, everyone will pose and the photographer will take pictures of them.

Austin is in the makeup room and he's annoyed by everything and everyone. He's also very bored right now. He needs to talk to someone so he calls Josh.

"Sawatdee Krub. How's the shooting going P'Austin? Having fun?" Josh teases as he laughs from the balcony of his condo. He's shirtless and enjoying his morning coffee. He looks fresh. Well, of course, he didn't have to wake up early and shoot an ad film, did he?

Austin looks away scoffing and this makes Josh laughs even harder. His adorable dog also starts jumping out of joy.

"You don't miss any chance to pull my leg, do you?"

"How could I? Such an opportunity is very rare"

"Why are you so relaxed, huh?" Austin asks him of jealousy "You're the ambassador so why am I filming the first shoot?"

"Well," Josh says putting the coffee cup aside "I already filmed it yesterday, P'Austin. My ad will be released before yours"

"But you only had to pose and look handsome which you already are but I have to play two rounds for these idiots"

Listening to Austin complaining like a kid seems very funny to Josh. No wonder he can't stop laughing. The more Josh is laughing the more irritated Austin is getting. He can't take this anymore. He called Josh to feel better but instead, he entertained him.

"I have to go," Says Austin "Those idiots are calling"

Austin hangs up the call before Josh could tease him more about this. But he really does have to go. He's wearing the sportswear and looks very hot as he is. He walks out from his makeup room and few employees can't seem to avert their eyes off of him.

Austin plays football first and goals and his team wins. They all come together and pose looking at the lenses. Everyone looks so handsome and appealing. Austin did it within less than an hour. He thought it would take even less time than that but the president wasn't satisfied enough. The next game is basketball. All he has to do is jump and score.

The game starts and they all play dramatically making I-will-kill-you-at-once look. Austin has to finish this perfectly. He doesn't want to do retakes. He does his best to do it in one shot but something's gone wrong.

Austin takes a jump to score and something else jumps as well. His little buddy can't seem to calm down this time. The shorts of course are thick but something down there is thicker. Austin's eyes widen as he realizes what's happening but he can't stop now.

No one notices at first but when they all come again together like the first shoot, the first one to realize happens to be the photographer and the president who laughs secretly behind the photographer. The photographer blushes and so does other people who noticed later. The female employees giggle and even the men around felt shy.

Austin becomes uncomfortable. He tells the president that he would like to do it again. But the president smiles charmingly and says,

"I think we got it" The president puts his hand on Bright's shoulder and Austin shoves it away.

"You got nothing!"

Max couldn't sleep the whole night as he was so excited for the orientation class. He couldn't wait for the sun to come up. Looking at Arman sleeping so peacefully was very annoying. How could he sleep like a baby tonight? Isn't he a little bit excited? He thought. This is a new place. He needs new friends here. But making friends isn't really hard for Max. But that was back in his home. What if people here don't like him? He's not worried about his biggest secret anymore since most people here already know him and shipped him and Arman together. So of course his sexuality isn't a big deal here.

Max was so lost in thoughts that he didn't realize he had fallen asleep. If Arman hadn't wake him up he'd still be sleeping. He got up so fast in a hurry that he accidentally slapped Arman. Arman got the slap on his right cheek and fell flat on the floor. Max put both his hands on his mouth as he gasped. He tried to help Arman but the blanket got stuck in his legs and he ended up landing on Arman's body.

"Ow," Arman said as his back and cheek were hurting.

"Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry," Said Max continuously.

"Get off of me" Arman coughed "God! You are heavy"

Max quickly gets up and helps him. Arman sits on his bed and his left hand's rubbing his back and the right his cheek.

"Why would you slap me?" Arman complains "I was just trying to wake you up for the orientation class you were so excited about"

Max feels guilty for accidentally slapping Arman like that. Arman looks like he really was hurt. But he looked fine after a few moments.

"Still hurting?" Max asked nervously "Do you want me to massage your back?"

"No, thanks. I'm fine" Arman said.

Max tried to relax but something made it worse. My palm is printed on his cheeks!

"What?" Arman asks as Max is looking weirdly at him.

"Nothing," Max says with a pitched voice and smiled like nothing just happened.

Max takes a shower and goes out to have breakfast with Arman. He looks at his cheeks on the way and his palm's print is still there. Arman looks suspiciously at Max as he keeps staring at him.

"Ok. What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" He finally asks.

"Um..ahh... print.." Max stutters. He was about to explain but Raven is already here. Max curses under his breath. This can't be happening right now. He needs to tell him before she does.

Raven comes towards them smiling and her smile suddenly turns into something more like a devil's grin. She narrows her eyes and Max's heart beats faster. Max is so anxious right now that he believes he's going to explode. He has no idea what Arman would do if he finds out.

"Oh, Miss Raven," he says "come have breakfast with me. Arman has other work" he tries to take her away from Arman.

"I don't have other work" Arman simply says not knowing Max's intentions.

Max hides his face with his hand and the tension rises as Raven walks closer to Arman.

"Wow" Raven opens her big fat mouth "You like it rough, huh?"

Max wants to jump in a well and die right away.

"What?" Arman says

"What?"  Max pretends to sound lost.

"Take a look at your cheek," Raven says. She smirks at Max and continues "Kid, you surprised me today" And she leaves.

Arman quickly takes out his phone and opens the front camera. He looks shocked as he sees the five fingerprints printed on his cheek.

"What the hell!"
