"I didn't think I'd ever say this but even school would be better that this shit." Axel groans and I laugh, dragging him by his hand into the next shop. After our make out session, we went downstairs and I made us pancakes while Axel made coffee.
I was a bit worried that the school will call my parents but Axel comforted me and said that we'll write to the teacher a letter excusing my absence and that he'll sign my mother because apperently he's good at faking a signature.
It's like he's a proffesional at all the illegal things.
Sophie's POVI watch the water in the stream slowly moving down, further away from me. My bum feels a bit uncomfortable against the hard rock I'm sitting on, but I ignore it.The image of Axel kissing another girl is slowly beginning to burn less than it did before.I'm comforting myself with the fact thatshekissed him, not vice versa.I overreacted a bit, but I really n
When she found out that I'm staying at Liam's, Amber came knocking on his door immediately, so now we were all in Liam's bedroom, eating pizza.Liam's parents were really nice and didn't complicate about anything, welcoming me in their home.I told Liam and Amber what happened and they listened."But how could he afford the necklace?" Liam asked and I shrugged."He said he got some money on the trip."
When I finally get home, I full on hate myself. He means so much to me, and I lost it all simply because I was too much of a prude to tell him that I liked him back.Of course I like him! I probably feel even more for him, but I am too much of a damned romantic and want every moment to be perfect. I have no idea how I managed to drag myself home, but I somehow did. My eyes are puffy and red from all the crying and I throw my bag across the living room. My phone still in my hands, I go upstairs to my room, and collapse on the floor next to my window, looking up at the moon.I fucked it all up. I can't lose him, he means too much to me. I close
I look at my father who looks taken aback. Mum puts her hand on his arm, slowly carresing it, trying to calm him down. "No! What the hell are you even doing in my house?" Dad suddenly bursts and I jump a bit in fright.Axel frowns for a second and I think he's gonna go all out, but then he composes himself and taking a deep breath, he begins:"I came for your daughter, sir, and I won't give up. I'm sorry that we got off on the wrong foot, but I care for Sophia, no matter how it may look."I gasp, quietly but everone hears it so they all look at me.
Even though he's much less nervous than he was before, I can still see the tension in him as he drives us to some restaurant."Some day I will leave this town and go somewhere nice and warm and not as much of a shithole as this." he says while driving."Maybe somewhere where there's a nice, beautiful beach." I continue with his fantasizing. "I would take a walk every morning with the dog I would have and just watch the waves, washing away everything that happened yesterday."I glances at me and slowly starts to nod.
I sit in shock. Mouth wide open, all the missing pieces coming in place.Of course.That's how he can afford it all, he probably has much more money left somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if he owned a house somewhere in California.That's why he was gone. That's why he replied only when I said I'll call the police!Those guys are probably in the same business.
I squeal and jump in his arms, taking him completely off guard.However, he still manages to not let either of us fall and wraps his arms around me, burying his face in my neck."You're amazing." I whisper and he chuckles."Anything for my girl." he replies and slowly lets me on the ground.I stand on my toes and pull him down a bit, pressing my lips on his left cheek.
The silence around us is engulfing us in the oblivion as we sit in the car, in front of my house.I had a great night with him, but it's time to say goodbye. Tonight, a lot of things were revealed to me and I didn't know what to think of them.Axel will need his answer, and I'm not sure what it will be. I can barely see his beautiful tattoed hand move to catch mine in the dark. He intertwines our fingers, fingertips brusing against the soft skin. I look up his arm and his torso, tattoos sligtly visible under the button-up. His chest looks fit and slightly tanned, like he'd spent many hours under the sun in the summer.
