PART OF ME - you become so emotionally close to someone that you feel like they are literally a part of you, like a half of your heart. You don't want to live without them - you can't.
Aviana Ember wouldn't know this fe...
But there, is a light In the dark, and I feel its warmth In my hands, and my heart Why can't I hold on?

I wake up naked in Axel's arms to the sound of a high-pitched scream. I'm groggy at first, rubbing my eyes as I glance around the room, trying to locate it. I'm up on an elbow when I realize it's coming through the wall behind the TV, and it's not really a scream.
I press my lips together awkwardly, glancing at Axel, who seems to be asleep until he peeks at me out of an eye and grins.
"Sounds like someone had the same idea as we did," he says softly, his voice a little rough and hoarse from sleep. I want to wake up with him every morning, and close my eyes to just hear his breathing and feel his lips against my skin as he speaks, almost in whispers.
I chuckle. "Yeah, well at least I'm not that loud."
Axel snorts as he glances away, his brows climbing his forehead.
I kick him under the sheets. "I am not!"
"Mhm?" Axel challenges as he sits up and tries to imitate me, "oh, Axel, uh, fuck, Axel, Axel, uhh, uhhh, uhhhhh—"
I tackle him before he can embarrass me any further and cover his beautiful lips with my hands, pretending I want to smother him to death. He easily rips me off of him and throws me back down onto the bed, pinning me against the mattress with his body and his hands on my wrists.
I giggle profusely, trying to squirm away from him, but he's too heavy.
"Stop it, I didn't even do that!" I whine.
"Do you want me to prove it to you?" he asks deviously, and I can feel his excitement against my leg.
I go still underneath Axel, my face turning pink when I nod "mhm."
Axel laughs, shoving his hand between my legs to notice how aroused I am already.
"You'll have to wait sweetheart," he tells me, although he continues to rub me gently, teasing me. "I kind of want to get the hell out of here."
I nod in agreement. We're showered and on our way home by 7:30, and it's the first time I check my phone since last night. I see that my mom has messaged, and think 'oh shit', and when I actually open her text, I yelp.
hey hun. took Jemmy out for breakfast, passed Axel's place
his car isn't here???
I suck air in through my teeth, and Axel notices.
"What?" he asks from the driver's seat as we pull onto the highway.
