Axel

23

I S A B E L L A

I held the baby blue bikini up in the air as i examined it, It was a simple bikini that was tied at the back and around the neck, the bottoms showed quite a lot of my butt and were also tied at the sides.

I slipped out of my clothes before putting it on, it took a minute to tie the bikini securely but i managed. I then stepped back until i could see my full frame in the mirror, it definitely showed a lot more cleavage.

I couldn't help but feel insecure, my flaws were always the first thing i noticed about myself and i hated it. It always took a minute to convince myself that i'm beautiful, that i'm brave and that it doesn't matter what others think before stepping out the room.

But i didn't get far, because the minute i opened the door there stood a 6'4 gorgeous man in nothing but black swimming trunks. I trailed my eyes all the way up his body, going painfully slow when i reached his beautiful tattoos and broad chest. And when i reached his face, his eyes were hooded as they looked down at me, he had slight bags under his eyes and his lips were pulled into a small smirk as his jaw slightly clenched.

You can't blame me for staring, Axel was gorgeous, so gorgeous that it sometimes became hard to breathe. And it wasn't always his looks, sometimes it was the way he carried himself, the way his presence made everyone around him pause and turn to look, the way everyone was cautions about how they acted around him, the way his look was so pure and real but yet so unreadable and plain.

I moved to the side, allowing Axel to walk into the room. I noticed how his hands shook as he rushed into the room and rummaged through each of the pockets in his clothing that laid resting on a chair, he then pulled out the small plastic bag filled with drugs and tried to hide it from me, but i had already noticed.

He took two short and fast steps to the dresser before pausing and turning to me, i gulped and looked down.

"What?" His voice was soft, but i could hear the slight irritation in his voice almost like he wanted me gone so he could continue what he was going to do. I looked up again, i smiled.

"Nothing." I said before slowly turning around and leaving. As i walked down the stairs, it suddenly clicked to me. It clicked to me how illegal these substances are, it clicked to me how i just let it slide past him because Axel made it seem as if it was normal. I never acknowledged how he could get into serious trouble for this if he got caught with them, instead i just watched him like it was nothing.

But i also knew that when it comes to Axel he didn't care about the consequences, he just lived his life with no rules.

When i made it to the bottom of the steps, Lucy was sat with Ethan and from the smile on her face it seemed like she was getting along with him. It reminded me to apologise to Lucy, i left her with men she doesn't know nor like.

I took it as my que to talk to her when Ethan got up and left. I rushed to her and sat down, she turned to me with a smile on her face.

"Hey love! You look stunning." She said, scanning me with her eyes. I blushed and thanked her before taking a moment to speak.

"I wanted to say sorry for leaving you, i felt bad saying no an-" I got cut off when she grabbed my hands and interrupted me.

"Stop it, dont worry love. Ethan and Kai are actually not bad, i think I'll get along with them." She smiled, then snaked an arm around my shoulder and hugged me. I nodded and smiled in relief.
