The Devil behind me Chapter 33
Mirabel's POV Looking up to see where the car horn sounded, I saw Charlotte come down from her car before she walked toward where I stood. She stood by my side and glanced at Stella. "You aren't going home today?" I heard her ask out loud to my hearing, she seemed to have been waiting for me. "I'm going now, let's go," I said, and we walked toward the car, hopping in, we ignored Stella. We hopped in and screeched..., we drove off.We both remained silent in the car till Charlotte suddenly asked "Something is bothering you?", I pulled out of my thoughts when I heard her question. " No no," I said as I shook my head "I'm just tired, and I'm feeling sleepy," I said responding to her question. She chuckled slightly as she said "I guess Manager Rosie is making your day hectic" "You can only imagine," I said and breathed out a puff of air. After a long drive, we finally arrived at my apartment. I was contemplating whether to invite her in or not, but I suddenly heard her say. "I ha

"You don't have to," he said as he released my hands from his grip. " Get used to sleeping in the same room with me" I heard him say, I was raging inside, I felt like knocking down his head. How hard was it to just explain to me so I can understand? He always gives me incomplete sentences. "Why should I? Do I need to, and must it be in the same room?" I asked all my questions in one go. "There are a lot of reasons why you should get used to it, dear," he said with a smug smile before he continued "Have I answered your question?" he asked me with a smirk that I badly wanted to pull off from his face. "What the hell? .. can't you just act normal at least once, of course, you haven't answered my question. All you've done is confuse me more. Can you just not be so insane" I asked him loudly, I was already furious at him, which led to me pouring out my heart... I regretted my words when I saw his lips suddenly curve up into a smile "Insane you say?" I heard him ask as he took a step c

"Oh Mira, why do you keep on embarrassing the shit out of yourself in his presence," I said almost in a whisper before making my way to the bathroom. I need to be fast so I can arrive at work early. Axel's POV I sniffed in a breath of air as I walked into my study, and closed my eyes, standing in a spot. I stood there for a few minutes before I finally moved and made my way to the bathroom in the study. "Mira..." I called out her name, barely in a whisper, geez now I needed a cold shower this morning. With every passing minute I spend with her, and every single time we are close by just a few inches is becoming more of a torture for me, I badly wanted to kiss those lips intensely, have her body close to mine with her legs wrapped around me. My breath hitched with just the thought of it.***** Mirabel's POV I spent about twenty to thirty minutes in the bathroom before I came out with a towel wrapped around me, from my chest down to my knees. I walked to the closet where he said

Mirabel woke up early the next morning as she felt the taunt muscles her hands lay on. Axel lay straight on the bed with his back to it, while she had her hands on his chest and one of her legs on top of his. The same position she woke up in yesterday. 'How can you be such a heavy sleeper, Mirabel' she scolded inwardly. She gently removed her hands from his chest and moved her legs from his, he was still asleep so she sat still on the bed admiring the godly figure that was sleeping. His chiseled jaws showed off his masculine face and his eyes were closed shut, his nose, his lips, down to his Adam's apple. Mirabel moved her gaze to his chest, he wore pajamas, but the first two buttons were opened, why is he so perfect? She moved her gaze back to his eyes and 'OH LORD' his deep dark eyes were now opened, staring fixedly at her, but they looked different, more like it was hiding a shade of hunger, intense yearning. Mirabel smiled nervously, "Good mor..." She didn't complete her state

*****SATURDAY** Mirabel woke up late the next morning. She turned around the bed and noticed how empty it was, her eyes shot open as she glanced at Axel's side of the bed... He wasn't there. She gazed around the room before her eyes settled on the couch. He sat there, typing on his laptop. 'Did he sleep at all?' Mirabel questioned herself inwardly. She cleared up her throat "Good morning" she said. Axel looked up from his laptop and glanced at Mirabel "It's starting late around four." Axel was referring to the occasion at the main mansion. "Where's your ring?" he asked her. Mirabel who sat on the bed subconsciously glanced at her finger, before she looked back at Axel "It's in my purse" she responded and received a nod from Axel.
