The Devil behind me Chapter 94
"I should be asking you that question, not you. What are you going here Charlotte" Desmond asked as he dropped the glass he was holding on the tray of the waiter that passed. Before giving him an answer which was stuck to her throat, Charlotte looked down at her red shirt which he had mistakenly spilled a drink on, it wasn't that visible and it was only a little of his drink that had splashed on her "Give me a minute, I'll be right back" she said and went in the direction of the washroom. She washed her hands and then her face before taking a napkin, soaking it a little, and wiping off the drink from her shirt. A few minutes later, she walked out and went back to meet Desmond who was still standing in the same position she had left him. Charlotte looked at her long-time friend from childhood, it's been six years since she last saw him because his family had moved out of the city, and of all places, they could clash with each other, it ended up being at a bar. His blonde hair was r

"Huh?" Charlotte looked at him in surprise, what did he mean by they weren't ending with just a sorry? "I said I'm sorry, it was a mistake and not intentional, I almost fell to the floor that's why the drink splashed on you," She said again, trying to make him understand, but unfortunately for her Troy chose to be petty today because of his shirt. "Hey! It might not be your fault but still, my shirt was splashed with the drink because of you," Troy said to her with a glare that showed how pissed he was. "Yeah, because of me but it was a mistake. Not like I'll intentionally trip on my steps so I can splash my drink on someone. This is not my fault" Charlotte said staring straight back at Troy. "Are you sure it isn't?" Troy said as his gaze traveled down to the heels she wore. Charlotte's looked down at the direction his gaze was on and DAMNIT! she seethed. She was wearing high heels today, which means this action was partly her fault. Looking back up again, she saw him staring at h

*****ARION**** Mirabel spent her whole time in the room ever since Axel left the house, he returned like two hours ago but he seemed busy as he didn't enter the room ever since. Taking a deep breath, Mirabel stood up from the bed to head out of the room but the door was suddenly opened from outside and Axel walked in. He walked into the room with a package, something like a box, his eyes landed on Mirabel who stood staring at him. Axel closed the door and walked into the room. "We are going out in the next hour, get ready," he said before he dropped the box on the bed. "Okay," Mirabel answered. "Wear the dress and heels on the box. When you are through meet me outside. I'll be waiting" WOAH! Mirabel was a little bit surprised and she was trying hard to not show it, so she nodded. Axel left the room after telling her what to do but Mirabel still stood there star-struck for some minutes, she wasn't blind to not see this extremely sweet side of Axel that she never knew. Was this a

Mirabel looked around the beautifully decorated restaurant, deem and not bright lights were used to surround the place, everything looked like a romantic setting, 'when did he have the time to plan all this?' she thought in her head. Ohh! And also, the red roses and candlelights on the table. Everything was made to match each other, red? wasn't that to symbolize... love? Mirabel thought. And not to mention, they were alone in the whole place, she went back to eating her food as her gaze landed on the man who sat across her on the table eating ever so elegantly. Axel suddenly looked up and smiled at her pulling Mirabel out of her reverie as she wasn't yet used to having him smile genuinely and not a smirk which he always pulled on his lips. A few minutes later, Mirabel suddenly broke off the looming silence as she asked the most stupid question she could think of "Um... why are we here?" she questioned, was it just to eat? Axel looked up "It's still not obvious enough?" he asked he

Several minutes later, they arrived back at the villa, Mirabel didn't want to come down from the car so Axel had to carry her princess way to their room. Mirabel wasn't sleeping yet but the alcohol's effect was taking a huge toll on her. She didn't say a thing until they arrived at the room. "I'm hungry," she suddenly said as Axel dropped her on the bed. Axel looked at her, she had eaten in the restaurant but now she was hungry. "What do you want to eat?" he asked her. Mirabel scrunched her face as if she was thinking hard about what to eat "I want pasta" she said as her eyes sparkled. Axel didn't say anything for a while, he removed his suit and then tie "Ok, wait for a while I'll bring it for you" he said as he removed three buttons from his white shirt, leaving his chest bare. Mirabel's eyes were on him throughout the time, she suddenly wanted to rub her hands on his chest as she saw the view. Axel turned around to leave the room but abruptly came to a halt as she called out t

Mirabel turned and tossed around the bed when she woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache "Arrrgh" she yelped at the sharp ache. She lay down on the bed, not moving at all as she tried to calm her nerves, it took her a while before she opened her eyes. With her hands in her throbbing head, she sat down on the bed and looked around, she glanced at Axel's side of the bed and as usual, he had gotten up already but he wasn't in the room. Mirabel gently dropped her feet to the floor and tried to remove the duvet used to cover her, it was at this moment she realized that she was wearing something that wasn't hers. Axel's shirt? how come?' she wondered and tried to think back at what might have happened yesterday but the more she tried, the harder her head throbbed in pain. The last thing she remembered was when they were at the restaurant and she had finished the bottle of wine, but that was all... The remaining story wasn't vivid to her. But wait... After the time at the rest
The Devil behind me Chapter 100
It took him a while before he could get the right words to say "I said nothing serious transpired" he uttered to her "You called that not serious? me running like a crazy woman in outer space isn't serious?" "No, we were alone so that's not serious," he said immediately. "Still, I embarrassed myself in front of you" she spoke out, a frown pretty obvious on her face. "No you didn't, I didn't mind at all," Axel said to make her calm down. Mirabel became mute as she heard his sincere words. They both stood there staring at each other and not saying a thing when suddenly Mirabel cut the silence as she said something again "What about last night after returning home? what I did wasn't crazy?" Mirabel looked at him and mumbled to his hearing. Remembering their almost steamy night Axel shook his head in response "No, It wasn't crazy at all" he said, well apart from the part she left him on his tip and went to sleep every other thing was okay. Mirabel nodded her head as she thought de
The Devil behind me Chapter 101
Feeling their body so close together made Mirabel's inside stir, it seemed like his chest was bare, closing her eyes she inhaled the scent of an shower that was coming from him "I had to take my bath" she said. "I thought you weren't coming" she murmured and turned around to face him as Axel moved his head from her shoulder. They now faced each other with his height towering over hers. And Mirabel was right, his chest was indeed bare, and he only wore aqua shorts. "Why wouldn't I?" Axel asked her with a slightly raised brow. "Cause you were busy" Mirabel reasoned and uttered to him. "Not busy to skip spending time with you" Axel muttered with a smile before he released her as he could feel his nose itch him like he wanted to sneeze. He wouldn't be able to fit himself into the water cause he still had a cough, he was just here to watch her. Mirabel's lip's pulled into a loving smile as she heard what he said. Axel's gaze traveled down a little and rested on her chest, his gaze lin
