A few weeks later
The space was small, smaller than I would expect a court room to be. If I remember correctly, the one back in the states was bigger than this one.
I felt hideous, dressed in prisoner's clothing while everyone around me wore suits. The guards didn't allow me to wore one myself because they're a bunch of miserable dicks and want to see others miserable, too.
"So what now?" coach asks me as we drive through the city, getting rid ourselves of paparazzi.It's starting to snow pretty hard outside, so I turn on the windshields and the heating up in my baby, exhaling out.Breathing free air as a free man."The plan now is," I glance at him,
Suppressing the grin on my face, I scold her for her language - I'm the bad one, she's the good one and I like it like that besides, her cursing makes me want to do things to her that are inappropriate for the time and place."Let's get you to bed," I lead her towards her room, "and you can get on my nerves further when you're laying down.""I don't know why you insist on carrying me." she stubbornly protests with words though I can tell her body is thankful. "Eve
I wake up with a start, breathing heavily. What the fuck was that all about?Sophie stirs next to me and opens her eyes. "What is it?" she asks softly.I gulp in an attempt to calm down my harsh breathing, and I shake my head in dismissal. "Nothing, bad dream."Rubbing my hand ove
Silence spreads around us like a thick spider web, turning into an endless moment in time and making me unable to breathe. The brown eyes of the toddler seem to be mocking me, destroying me and breathing life into me at the same time."You look like my daddy on the photo." he explains, speaking with difficulty because of his young age.I finally shift my focus to his mother and it suddenly all makes sense.
"Daddy, why is your hair so long?" Leon asks and I spit out the tea back into the cup."Because the ladies like it that way." I reply and he grins. "I'm sure they don't like you only because of your hair."I tilt my to the side, shrugging. "I's probably because of my face as well, don't you think?" I ask him and he nods enthusiastically.
"Whiskey." I plop down on the bar chair, behind the bar. This place looks like a dump, a place where someone like me shouldn't be in because they'd get kidnapped or something, but I'm hoping none of these are actually stupid enough to attack me.I set the phone on the bar and it starts ringing immediately, bold letters "COACH" appearing on the screen. Right, practice.I shove the phone back into my pocket.
"Axel! What are you doing? You scared me!" Sophie sits up on the bed against the headboard and crosses her arms on her chest.I stagger in, leaning with my hand on her bed. "Do you think I'm a bad person?" I slur with my words and a frown forms on her beautiful face. I notice that her hand is rubbing her tummy in a calming motion."Are you drunk?" she asks me in response and I shake my head but because it immediately makes me sick to my stomach, I stop doing that.
"Oh, my god." I wince and cover my eyes with my hand to shield them from the burning light outside. Fucking hangover."Morning." I hear Sophie's voice from right next to me, and I look down to meet her icy blue eyes. "How did you get in here last night, Axel?" she asks and I shrug."No idea. Can't remember shit."
