*Six's POV*
I feel Jordan stir underneath me and then he looks down when I adjust my head so that my chin is on his chest.
“Morning beautiful,” he mumbles. He was never a morning person.
“Morning,” I reply.
“How are you feeling,” he asks me.
“Honestly? I have no clue.”
“Do you wanna talk about it?”
“Not really no. Thank you, for being here though."
“Always,” he says and bends down to kiss my forehead.
“Coffee?” I ask him. He nods and we get up. I put on a pair of boyshort underwear and then pull Jordan’s t-shirt over my head, enjoying how his familiar scent makes me feel comforted. He throws on just his grey sweatpants and then wraps his arms around my waist and says, “I
almost forgot how good you look wearing my clothes.” I smile and very quickly, our clothes endup on the floor again.After we ge
*Six's POV*When I make it downstairs, I find Axle leaning up against his car. I walk over to him and he stands up straight and he says, “Look, let me just start by saying that obviously I’m not happyabout seeing you with Jordan.” I go to cut him off but he says, "Just let me finish. I get it, I broke your heart and you needed someone. Literally anybody else would have been better, but I’m gonna let it go because this whole thing was my fault. I was pissed off at the whole situation and I took it out on you. I wasn’t thinking rationally. That was just too much information to process at once for me and I handled it like shit, and it took half a bottle of whiskey and a dose of reality check from a bartender of all people but I get it and I should have let you explain instead of just leaving you.”“Answer me this: If I had told you before the shit with your dad, would you have made mechoose between you and my job? Be h
*Axle's POV*When I leave Six’s apartment complex I have a very confusing string of emotions running through me. The only thing I’m sure of is that I love her and she loves me. That should be allthat matters but if somewhere in her logic chain she decides that I’m not good for her and, more importantly Theo, it’ll all be over. I know she would give up love for him. She would give up anything for him. And I would do the same for her.When I reach home, I find my dad’s car missing from the driveway and hear my mom andJameson’s voices coming from the kitchen. They’re seated at the dining room table and theyboth turn towards me when I walk in.“So?” Jameson asks expectantly.“Could have gone better. Her fucking ex was there when I showed up. But I spoke to her andexplained everything. She said she was going to think it over first, which is fair. She has a lot to consider here
*Six's POV*As I go to pull my shorts on, I notice a reddish-purple mark on my inner thigh. I turn my leg out to look at it. Are those teeth marks? Apparently he bit me harder than I thought.“Axle,” I whine at him. “Look what you did! I’m wearing shorts!”“So?”“So, your mother and brother are gonna see that!”“I still don’t see the issue. I’m sure they can guess what we were doing anyway. You're not exactly quiet,” he says with a wink.“Uuugh! Still! Just be more gentle next time!"He flashes me a grin and says, “You and I both know you don’t want me to be gentle.”I smile back and just roll my eyes because he’s right but I’m not gonna amdit to it out loud.“Alright Hannibal Lector, let’s go.”I take his hand and we walk downstairs to find Irene and Jameson in the kitchen.They
*Six's POV*When I get home, I put Theo to sleep and am in absolutely no mood to work so instead, I pickup my phone, unblock Alisha’s number and call her. She answers on the second ring.“Six? Is that you?” I can hear the shock in her voice.“Hey Alisha. Yeah, it's me," I say, glad she can't see me if I look half as uncomfortable as I feel.“Oh my gosh it’s so good to hear your voice. I am so sorry Six. I’ve been trying to call you andtext you and I-”“Alisha, woah, slow down. I know. I’m calling because I was wondering if you might wanna meet up somewhere and you know, catch up sometime?” “Yes, of course. Anytime. Like tomorrow after school? My house?”“Yeah okay. I can be there around 4," I tell her, still not feeling any less awkward. It feels a bit like I'm making an appointment with a gynecologist instead of going to visit my best friend.
*Axle's POV*It’s been a couple of weeks since everything with my father came out and Six and I are in areally good place. We’re together all the time and I think this is the happiest I’ve been my whole life. The band has had a couple more gigs and a definite increase in requests for us to play. Between practices and visiting Six’s mom in rehab and school work, it feels like we haven’t had very much time to just chill out and take a breather. It's exhausting.It’s a Friday night and we’ve decided to just spend the evening at Six’s place with Theo andorder in. When we make it to her apartment after school, Six grabs the mail and then we pick up Theo and head to her apartment. She starts sorting through the mail when we walk in as Theo runs off to his room. She stops in the middle of the hall and her eyes are wide as she stares at an envelope.“What? What is it?” I ask her, running through a m
*Six's POV*Axle walks up on stage and pushes up the sleeves to his leather jacket as he makes his way up to the microphone, “How’s everyone doing tonight?” People cheer and whistle. God his voice is sexy.“Glad to hear it. Y’all ready to hear some music,” This elicits more cheering and screaming fromthe crowd and Axle does a super hot half smile that has me considering jumping up on that stage and dragging him away when turns to Nate, indicating for him to start the beat. They play a few songs and our group makes its way to the stage to start singing along and dancing to the music once a crowd starts to form and we can no longer see them from where we’re sitting.Several more songs later, Axle’s voice says, “Alright, we’re going to take a quick 15 minuteinterlude and we’ll be right back with some more songs. How does that sound?” More cheering from the crowd. I love seeing how m
*Axle's POV*As we’re leaving the recording studio the Saturday after meeting with Trevor, we’re all feelingpretty good about what we put out. We decide to go out for drinks to celebrate after we drop off our cars and equipment and grab something to eat. We call the rest of the gang and tell them to meet us at a bar.When I call Six, she answers quickly and says, “Hey, how did it go?”“It went really well. We’re all gonna go out for drinks. You coming?”“I’m with Shaunice and Stan right now, so I dunno.”“You should come and bring Shaunice with you.”“Um, maybe, hang on I’ll ask her.” I hear some incoherent mumbling from the other end of thephone before she says, “Alright, Stan said he can watch the kids. Text me the bar and we’ll grab a taxi and be there soon.”“Awesome, see you soon baby.”When I
*Six's POV*The next morning when I wake up, I feel Axle’s arm wrapped around me as he spoons me. Istart to wiggle my butt a little bit against him and feel him start to harden against my ass. His arm squeezes me and he says in a super sexy, half asleep voice, “Don’t start something youcan’t finish."“Who says I can’t finish it?” I reply coyly.“The people coming over soon," He replies, attempting to hold me down with his arm to try and stop me.“Come on, we’ll be quick,” I say, placing my hand over the back of his and then leading it downmy body and in between my legs. He groans when he touches me and, at this point, I can feelthat he’s just as turned on as I am. I smile to myself silently celebrating my win.He moves his hips backwards and adjusts himself so that all he has to do is move his hips up and he’ll be inside me, but he doesn’t. H
