Love Comes With Agony

Book II (chapter 4)

Chelsea's POV

I woke up to the feeling of something heavy pushing me down on the bed... With half opened eyes I tried to remove the heavy object but obviously it was an unsuccessful attempt... I rubbed my eyes and tried to open them but that was also a massive failure.... I tried to move it again but nothing happened so I went back to sleep...
The next time I opened my eyes I saw a beautiful pair of eyes looking at me... I got up in a haste and faced the person... After adjusting my vision to the light inside the room I focused on the face...
"Good morning..." Axel said with a warm smile spread across his lips...
I didn't reply cause right now I was very confused...
Then slowly events from yesterday night came rushing back to me... Now that it all makes sense...
I didn't reply and got out of the bed...
"I said good morning..." He said again...
I still didn't say anything I just took my towel, a set of fresh clothes and went inside the bathroom... I took a long shower, then came out and went downstairs... I didn't even utter a word and just tried... Keyword 'tried' to ignore his very presence... I went to the fridge and found a stick-on that said..

You have a lot of explaining to do... I will be back in the afternoon... And I really want to know how he-who-shall-not-be-named ended up with you on your bed...
                            Love- Nicky..

I took the stick-on and threw it in the bin...
"Why are you ignoring me?" A voice said from behind me... And it scared the shit out of me... I turned and the first thing I did was punch the person in the face...
Axel stood there holding his jaw... Pain written on his face... I not only hit his jaw but also his already wounded lips... Blood came rushing out of the wound...
"I... I... Uh ... I am so sorry... You came unannounced... I am sorry..." I said and went rushing to his aid...
"Oh god blood's coming out... Wait here I will go and get the first aid kit... Just give me two minutes..." I said and I was about to leave when he caught my elbow and pulled him to his hard chest... He put one arm around my waist and pulled me even closer to him... His manly scent was making me wonky... I couldn't stand straight.... With his other hand he lifted my chin so my eyes met his...
He didn't say anything just looked at me then slowly bought his head down to kiss me... The kiss felt so surreal... It felt so right... But I broke away as fast as possible... I didn't wanted to hurt him...
He opened his eyes and looked at me... Hurt was so prominent in them...
"I am sorry chelsea... I didn't mean it... I am sorry please forgive me... Chelsea please give me a chance.. please..." He said.. sounding so genuine... I don't know if I was ready to.. what if he was lying again?
"Chelsea I want to give 'us' a chance please chels..." He said again..
I still didn't say anything... I just looked at him...
"At least say something...!!" He said...
"What if you are lying? What if it's just some sort of a plan of yours? Are you planning revenge?" I asked quietly...
"What? No I am not... Chelsea whatever I just said I mean it... Maybe back then when I had said I wanted to give 'us' a chance I was bluffing but not now... I really want us to have a future a good one.." he said but still holding me...
"I don't know Axel ... I need sometime... I need to sort things out... Please... Just give me some time..." I said..
"Chels but..." He said but I cut him mid way..
"No 'buts' if you want something you need to give me some time... You can't just show up and decide that you need me in your life..." I replied..
"Okay I will give you..' he said then gave me a small smile and left.... The moment his hand left my waist I felt so empty... I felt so cold... I didn't want him to leave but then what he had done to me just felt so wrong... I saw him go out of the door... I just stood there in the kitchen staring at the wall...
I came out of my thoughts when the doorbell rang... I went and opened it and saw Nicky standing in all her glory...
"Hey bitch..." She said with a smile...
She came in and sat on the couch...
"Dude pregnancy sucks.. I look like a bloated animal.." she said and wiped the sweat from her forehead...
"Heyyyy we were supposed to go to the doctor for the results...." I said suddenly remembering about the appointment...
"Relax I already went and came... I went when you were sleeping like a bear on your bed with that Greek god beside you..." She said and handed me a brown envelope... I went through the contents of the envelope and started screaming with joy.... My best friend was 2 months pregnant....
"Nicky I am sooooooooooooooooooooo happppppppppppy yay...!" I said and pulled her for a huge hug..
She smiled and hugged me back...
"Wait wait now you tell me how did you end up here?" She asked eyeing me from top to bottom...
I told her everything from the beginning... She heard without interrupting me...
"Yeah so that's it..." I said and ended the thing...
After sometime she spoke...
"Even after being tipsy he saved your ass from those goons.. even got hurt trying to save you... Then today morning when you punched him he didn't say anything just received the blow and then apologized to you for being a jerk earlier... And not to forget he kissed you and did not force himself upon you..!!" She said...
"Um... Yeah... But why would you say 'he did not force himself upon me' he never does all these things... He respects women a lot... Even when we were in a relationship... We never really had sex cause he respected my idea of having sex after marriage..." I said defending him...
"Is this guy for real?" She asked raising her eyebrows...
"Uhhh... Yeah... I mean he exists..." I replied...
"What are you waiting for then?? Look honestly both of you are jerks... You hurt him he hurt you... So now you are both equal.. so just put those things behind you and start fresh... Guys like him don't stay single forever... You have a gem sister... Keep it.. respect it... And never let it go..." She said getting serious...
"But I need sometime..." I said
"For WHAT? you love him, he loves you... So what are you waiting for?" She yelled at me...
"I will go back but not now..." I said...
"No you will call him..." She said..
"Stop pestering me... I will do it but not now... And that's final..." I said and got out of the couch and went up to my room...
I heard a knock on my door and saw Nicky come in...
"What do you want now?" I asked getting angry at her...
"Why are you angry at me?" She asked getting confused. 
"I don't know...!" I said...
"Okay cool... Anyway the flowers didn't come in today!!" She said... I realized she was right... They didn't come...
"Yeah right... Maybe the person got tired of sending them but wait they don't come here they come to the studio..." I said
"Yeah they didn't come to the studio... That's why I said..." She said...
"Yeah whatever... I don't care..." I replied lied down on the bed... Thinking about everything Nicky just told me... Maybe I should just call him up... I dont know...!!
