19. The Secrets.

"So, where do you wanna go out today?" Hazel asked as she looked at Austin who was having his breakfast.

"Huh? Don't you have any classes today?" Austin asked as he gulped down the food he had in his mouth.

"I do. But it's your birthday today. So, why don't we have a day out together?" Hazel asked excitedly.

"That is not right! We can't spend the day out by missing any classes." Austin answered seriously.

"Seriously? I don't have any mood to go to classes today. I want to be with you!" Hazel replied, making puppy eyes.

"No. We can't. You have important classes going on." Austin said making Hazel scout and looked away from him

"Hazel..." Austin called slowly.

"Don't call me,I hate you." Hazel said, pouting as she looked around the other people passing by.

"You don't hate me." Austin replied with a confident smile plastered on his face.

"I do. Because you said 'no' to me. How can you do this? On your birthday? I want us to spend the day out together!" Hazel said whining and Austin took a deep breath.

"Hazel, listen... We have got all the time in this world. We can go out on a holiday. But not today!" Austin replied. 

Hazel got up from her chair and walked away from him with an annoyed look.

"Hazel... Wait." Austin called as he quickly got up from his chair to follow her and walked towards her, stopping Hazel in mid way.

"What?" Hazel asked plainly, staring into his eyes.

"Baby, listen to me." Austin said in a pleading tone.

"No. I am not listening to you!" Hazel replied and looked away.

"Hazel... My love." Austin called again as he walked closer to her and wrapped his arm around her waist bringing her closer to him.

"I have a meeting appointment with someone today. So, I wouldn't be able to go out with you today and neither could I spend the night with you. But I can spend some time with you till the evening and then you can go to my flat. You have the flat key. Right? Wait for me... I will be home late tonight." Austin said his every sentence carefully looking straight into her eyes.

"Really? Then, it's fine. I don't want to trouble you. How about we go to your home right now and celebrate your birthday?" Hazel asked, making Austin chuckled.

"Celebrate my birthday?" Austin asked and Hazel nodded her head in yes, multiple times.

"Yes, I want to bake a cake with you and for you." Hazel answered and he smiled.

"For me?" Austin asked as he patted her head gently .

"Yes. Why not?" Hazel asked as she wrapped her hands around his neck.

"No… It's just you know, You Don't have to work so hard. We can just order it…" Hazel cut off Austin in mid sentence.

"No. I want to bake it myself, for you." Hazel replied, making Austin sigh.

"Are you sure?" Austin asked again with a serious look.

"Yes!" Hazel answered as she gently played with his end hair behind his neck. He chuckled.

"And you won't feel bad if I am not with you for the night right?" Austin asked once again to confirm.

"No. I won't. I know, you have your work but still, you take time to be with me whenever I ask!" Hazel answered with a smile.

"Umm… Yes. But still…" Austin looked at her searching for words to convince her.

"No But and if, Austin. I am really lucky to have you here and you know what, you are staying with me now. So, it's fine. And you will be back home later again." Hazel Replied and the way she said home, made Austin smile brightly as he felt good when she called his house, A home.

He always wanted to have a home for himself. He wishes to have her as his woman.

He knows that he will be really happy with this wonderful woman in his life and he also wanted to give her the life that she deserves, that is, without any worries and the tourtue she goes through with her family but he is scared, about his life and not sure about how she will react once she finds out who he really is. 

But he is not at all ready right now to open up about his life to her.

He just wants her to understand him completely and know how much he loves her before she finds out about him.

"Alright. Let's go then!" Austin replied as he grabbed her hand from the back of his head and they both walked away from there to the parking lot.

Austin opened the car door for her and she got in the car as she smiled brightly at him. She got inside the car and Austin closed the door. He walked around the car and got into the driver seat.

He started the engine and drove off from there but little did they know that they had been watched by someone.
