Chapter 3- Life loves me exactly like how Hitler loved Jews . " Jesus ! I think I might have to find some extra space in Mars to fit all this junk . " I complained to Tango , who was busy chewing . his toy bone to give even bother about me . Even Tango gave up on me and my rants . I sighed . I could feel Tango's reprimanding gaze on me , I bet he must be thinking- Get over your whiny Bella Swan attitude woman , and come toss a ball to mel Never mind . I secured the tape on the last box and slid to the floor exhaling , rubbing Tango's head , feeling the soft fur brush against my finger's , and the spoiled baby snuggled closer to me , obviously loving to be pampered . I looked around the room and exhaled again . T Ten boxes . Yep . Ten boxes filled with Ryan's trash in my house . Yes , I was amazing at setting boundaries . But on the other hand it was not like I got Ryan with a ' Cheater' tag on his head instead , I got him in a package filled with hot looks , toe curling kisses and sexy stares . But that's how all heartbreaker's come right ? My phone rang and I saw Austin's caller ID and I felt a small smile tug at my mouth almost involuntarily . It was almost three weeks now , Austin and I were friends now , I guess ? We talked almost every day . Did that classify as friends ? I received his call , with a smile but my mood was still down in the dumps , rotting with my broken heart . " Hey .. " I greeted and I immediately winced at how off I sounded .. I heard Austin chuckle . " Well . Aren't you a ray of sunshine ?" " Yeah , I could put the Sun to shame with my brightness " I clipped . I could practically feel his frown at the other end . " What got your panties in a bunch , cupcake ?" My mouth formed a lopsided grin at the mention of my nick name , as I felt my mood lighten . " Oh , nothing much . I'm peachy..er , I mean I'm fine . " I lied . " You know half the time girl's say ' Tm fine ' they are lying . So what have you got to hide cupcake ? " I pouted . " First of all , I am not a cupcake and second , I'm fine . " " Not " Please , I can practically feel the nonsense drip from your words , and are you trying to get me sick ? Because I am allergic to bull crap . " I sighed , if there was something I learnt about Austin in three weeks then he is as stubborn as a mule . " Fine , I'm not riding over rainbows on unicorns , because I am stuck packing Ryan's stuff on a bloody weekend . And each item is like a dagger to my poor heart and it bugs me that Ryan is not the least bothered about his stuff and that he hasn't even got the decency to give me a call and at the least apologize , but then what can I expect from a son of a s ** t who cheated on me on our a nniversary ? " I fumed , letting out a breath . I should really stop venting to Austin , I wonder why he bothers to talk to me . I act like a hissy child about to throw a tantrum . " Okay , wow , you are really angry . First of all I'm not an advice guru . I might be the last person too who should give an advice on these things but all I would say is that , calm down , get yourself together woman . " I rolled my eyes . " Wow Austin , great advice ." I sassed . Austin sighed . " You're right , that sucked . But I barely know who you and Ryan were like and am no one to judge . But if I had to go by the impression you gave me then Ryan is a useless maggot who really needs to get his ass set back in place and you need to forget him and move on ," Easy for you to say " Alright , it's not easy , but you have to try right ? You had a life before him and you need to focus on that , there is a person out there meant for you . Look and listen , he might be really close , you would be overlooking . " I smiled to no one in particular . How could he be so sweet ? Sweet guys don't exist . Atleast not in my world . Hot , dangerous , bad boy's who play girl's exist . Is Austin real ? His might be a different specie . Perhaps he had flaws , who knew ? " Thank you . But you sure your not good with advice ? Because you sound like some relationship expert . " Austin chuckled , his deep , honey like voice making me smile wider . " No , seriously , no . " " Why not ? " " Eh , that's a long story , which included drunk girls , a high school party and a bad ' never forget kick that landed where the sun doesn't shine . " I perked up . " Sounds interesting ! I'm all ears ! " I could feel Austin rolling his eyes . " Okay . So story time ! Once upon a time a guy went to his first high school party with the girl he was dating . He got drunk till he couldn't tell his own name and then went to play spin the bottle and kissed the wrong girl then got his balls kicked . The end ." I puffed out my cheeks and snorted unattractively before bursting into peals of laughter . " Yeah , alright , very funny , Haha . Austin is an amazing joker dude . Now , shut up . " I laughed harder . " So did it hurt? " " Hurt ? " " Did it hurt to get your balls kicked ? " " No s ** t , Sherlock . I actually thought I lost my nuts , I wept like a baby too . And trunk crying in a room full of teenagers doesn't really do the best thing for someone's high school reputation ." I laughed again . This guy was one funny dude . " Atleast I made you laugh . " I heard him mutter and immediately felt butterflies as a red tinge coated my cheeks . I quickly brushed it off , knowing I'd sound like a retard if I even dared to gush . " So , what's your story Austin ? " Austin pretended to think with exaggerated " umms " and " hmms " " My story … hmm .. so I live in Los Angeles obviously same district code , I grew up in Minnesota . I have three sister's , mum and dad live in Chicago . My sister's are all married , they persuade me too settle down too , but my life is too busy for that . I was a footy player back in university then came up here in LA and opened a restaurant and now I own a chain of hotel's and restaurant's . Quite boring . " I rolled my eyes . how old are you " Who in the right mind would call that boring Mr. Rich pants ? Anyway , I repeated . Austin let out a deep throaty laugh that for some stupid reason made my stomach flutter . I need to get my head examined soon . "You won't let that one question slide , would you ? " " Nope . " I said popping the'p " . " Fine , I'll reveal my age , if you tell me your story " I bit my lip . Mine wasn't great . " Well um … there's nothing much to hear though . " " No way . I reject that right of the bat , a girl like you ought to have a long tale ." I blushed . A long , embarrassing tale . Fine , so it goes like this .. I was born in California . Sun and beach and all I was a mistake , my parent's really never expected me . As I grew my parent's became a dysfunctional mess , they divorced when I was just eight . They used to meet for the useless family reunions ' I kept but they hate each other's guts .. and after a while I gave up . I haven't seen my mother for years , she left . and my dad calls once in while , he has his own family with my step mother who isn't fond of me . I finished my graduation with a literature major and high school was an awkward mess . Trish , my best friend got married and moved to LA and I kind of followed her later and ended up becoming an editor at Crossword . That's pretty much it ." " Well … I'm sorry about your parent's . " " Don't be . It's fine , really . Anyway , now time to reveal your age , you age less creeper . " Austin laughed . " I'm twenty six , be scared , I'm an old enough to be a pedo . " " Please like you would be a pedophile . And don't worry about being a pedo , I'm twenty five myself ." "I never asked for your age . " " I just revealed it because you told me yours it only seemed fair ." Austin laughed again . " You seriously are something else . " I smiled but when my sight landed on those boxes my smile dropped reminding me that life loved me exactly like Hitler loved Jews . Of effin course . I had to return Ryan his s ** t back . " Alright Austin . I'll talk to you later . I need to finish dumping Ryan's junk . " " Good luck cupcake . " I'm not .. never mind . Good bye Mr. Rich pants . " With that I ended the call . I had called Alex to load all the boxes in the car , and help me drop them back at Ryan's because god knew I would lose my nerve if I went there alone . I heard the door bell ring , I knew it was Alex . I took a deep breath . This was it . I had to go face the heartbreaking bastard again . May the odds be ever in my favor . Yeah right , like they ever were. his love look forward to talking to all of you lovely readers- hope you enjoy this chapter be updating regularly now , please show this at Love xx
