A Little Patience

11. I Still Love You

That night Axl heard knocks on the door and he answered and saw Lilly in a short nightgown. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. But Axl quickly pulled away as a sharp pain ran through his mouth. "Ow," he said. "Are you alright?" Lilly asked. "I'm fine, my mouth hurts a bit but I'm fine," Axl said. Lilly noticed his mouth didn't open a lot when he talked so Kurt must've hit him hard. But all of his teeth were intact so he oughta be able to kiss her in a day or so. 

Axl scooped her up and led her to bed. He dropped her down and hovered on top of her. A smirk forming on his face as he saw the nightgown wasn't covering her lower body much. "No, Axl, not now," Lilly said as if reading his thoughts. Axl nodded and placed a small kiss on Lilly's forehead. He turned over to where he was laying on his side in bed. He pulled Lilly to his chest and they soon fell asleep close to each other's side.

Lilly woke up the next morning to see herself and bit far from Axl, Pumpkin Spice laid between them. Lilly smiled at the sight. She crawled out of bed and walked to the kitchen and decided to make eggs and bacon. Axl walked in yawning as Pumpkin Spice chased a string that hung off of Axl's sweatpants. Axl fed the kitten and then walked over to Lilly who was setting the table. "Are you hungry?" she asked. Axl shook his head. "No," he said. "You should eat," Lilly said. "I'm not hungry," Axl said. Lilly nodded. "Are you alright?" she asked sitting at the table. Axl nodded. "I'm fine," he said. Lilly nodded and ate. 

Lilly sat beside Axl on the couch. Axl laid down and placed his head on Lilly's lap. Lilly ran her hand through Axl's hair. "Are you sure you're alright?" Lilly asked. Axl nodded. "I just wanted to make sure," Lilly said playing with Axl's hair. Then Axl started crying. "Axl, what's wrong?" Lilly asked. Axl sat up, tears streamed down his eyes. "Lilly... I... I cheated on you, Lilly. I didn't mean to! I was drunk and I kissed a few women and I touched a f-few women. I can't look at you without f-felling g-guilty," Axl said. He started sobbing as Lilly was left speechless. "I'm s-sorry, Lilly. I-I'm sorry f-for being a s-shitty boyfriend," Axl said as he buried his face in his hands and sobbed.

Lilly wasn't upset. Axl tried to keep it a secret but he couldn't. He had to tell her. He was honest. He loved her. 

"Axl," Lilly said placing her hand on his shoulder. Axl lifted his head and sniffled. Tears still ran down his face like waterfalls. "Axl, sh, sh, it's alright," Lilly said. She crawled into Axl's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Y-you don't have to do this, Lilly," Axl said. "Do what?" Lilly asked. "Stay here. I've been a shitty boyfr-" "No, don't say that. Don't cry. I still love you, baby," Lilly said stroking Axl's hair. "How?" Axl asked. "I know it was an accident. I know you didn't mean it," Lilly said. "And you were honest. Just don't ever get drunk again, not while I'm not there at least," Lilly said. The last part came out more seductive than she wanted it to. Axl smirked and kissed her lips.
