The Love We Found

Chapter 10

Grant's POV:

"Axel. you told me you wanted to have sex with me in your sleep when we got home from the hospital. I never told anyone because it was when I brought you to your room. If you don't want me to show you how much I love you and how much we were made for each other, just say the words." I said.

I watched as his eyes widened and a blush became prominent on his face and neck. His ears started to turn red as his eyes darted around the room.

"I... I... Uh..." He stuttered.

"Wait... I don't want to force you into anything. I won't take the next step in our relationship until you are absolutely sure you are ready." I said, stopping him.

He jerked his head to look at me, his blush deepening.

You know I'm not good with this shit." He said with a groan.

"Well until you verbally express what you want I'm not touching you again. If you want anything from me, you need to ask. Whether it's a hug or a kiss, or simply holding hands."

I went to stand up when his hand reached out to grab me.

"No, don't go. Please. I want to but I'm... you know."

"A virgin?"

"yeah... that too, but I meant I'm scared." He whispered.

"Baby, you know I wouldn't hurt you."

He nodded, yanking on my arm to try to get me to sit back down next to him. I chuckled before I lowered myself down onto his bed.

"I want to but we have to be careful of my leg too."

"Of course baby." I said cupping his cheek.

"Help me get the brace off?" He said pushing himself backwards so he was more on the bed.

"Shouldn't we keep it on?" I asked.

"No, it'll just be in the way. I'm supposed to change to the metal brace anyway. The physical therapist wants me to be bending it already." He said, trying to reach the bottom of the brace and take it off.

I was watching him struggle to take of the brace and I felt wrong. I felt like this was too planned and the wrong time.

"Baby, wait. I'm sorry, I can't. As much as I want this I can't do this now." I said.

I stood up and turned to face him. I watched his face as his expression changed from happiness, to confusion, to anger. His eyes becoming clouded as what I said registered. I know that he feels rejected and that hurts. He just freaked out about us being married, and he flipped on his parents for no reason. It's not the right time. This was a stupid plan.

"Get out." He said.

I stepped towards him and he jerked his body away from me, before turning his icy glare to me.

"Get. The fuck. Out." He said through gritted teeth.

"Baby..."

"No. Fuck off."

"Whatever, push everyone away like you always do."

"I will."

"Fine."

"FINE." He yelled.

I unlocked his door and opened it.

"You know what, Axel? I think it's time for you to grow up. Take your fucking medicine when you need to and stop hurting and pushing away your parents and anyone who gets close to you." I said.
