Chapter 20

I am updating now just in case I won't be able to by the end of the weekend because of Mother's Day this weekend. So here's a chapter for you all ❤️ I'll try to update again soon xx

For all you mommas out there, just like myself, Happy Mother's Day. I hope you get breakfast in bed and to sleep in, because we all know we need that extra sleep (;

"I can't believe it! The serious, expressionless, Axel was actually stunned and shocked! Then all you could was smug and pride covering his face when you kissed him," Sarah yells out ecstatic, her arms flinging around crazily as she describes it again, like she has been for the last ten minutes they got to the mall.

"Kissed his cheek," Ayliah emphasizing the word cheek.

"I kissed his cheek, it's not like I was making out with him! It was a thank you kiss," though the pink hue on her cheeks seem to disagree with her words.

"Whatever, it was like he won the damn lottery when you did that! I have never seen Axel other than serious so this a damn shock okay. Then he wouldn't even stop starring at you when you walked away, my gosh the tension and heat in his eyes...damn," Sarah hand fanning herself as Ayliah chuckles at her.

"He didn't he takes his eyes away from the car until we were out of his sight, he literally stood there watching you as we left! Every time I looked in my mirror he'd still be standing there with a stupid smile on his face. And it's all because of you babe," Sarah looks at Ayliah, who was blushing as she continuously bit her bottom lip, and Sarah starts lifting her eyebrows up and down with a smirk on her face, embarrassing her friend even more.

"Okay okay enough. You are raking this way out of proportion and thinking you're seeing this that didn't happen," Ayliahs head down and her face still red as she fiddles with her fingers, her heart going crazy wondering if what Sarah said was true.

Ayliah feels an attraction to Axel, something pulling her closer to him, wanting to get to know the man that he was. He was caring, tender and seemed like an all around nice guy. Yes he had that stonic, serious expression, he always wore but when he was around her he didn't seem like that and that makes her feel happy that he shows her another side of himself he doesn't show others often.

Sarah turns to her friend and gives her a genuine smile to show that she wasn't joking.

"That man likes you, I can see it, everyone can see it. I have never seen him with a girl before, unless they were family friends, and even then he never showed as many expressions as he has showed you. Trust me when I say, that man only had one face and it was harsh and serious. Since you, he has actually, full blown, smiled and hell even laughed! Make no doubt about it, that man is head over heels for you," she looks pointedly at Ayliah.

"And I know your into him, don't bother denying either...your blush says it all girl," she winks at Ayliah who once again blushes confirming what she already knew.

"Okay fine, yes there is something about Axel. I get these crazy feelings when I'm around him, and can barely pay attention. It's like there is this pull that keeps tugging me harder towards him and my body is telling me to trust it. It's just so weird, I have never felt like this before with anyone," she sighs.

Sarah looks at her friend with a sneaky smile.

"What? You think I'm crazy?," she asks Sarah, her brows pinch as she bites her bottom lip. Conflicting emotions running through her body.

"No, if anything I know exactly how you felt. I felt that with my boyfriend, still do, and I was in the same boat but trusted my feelings and they haven't steered me wrong. Mike is the love of my life and I'm glad I met him. We've been together for over a year now and those feelings, the feelings you are feeling too, still have not gone away. Trust those feelings, don't fight again that bond that is trying to bring you together. Everything will make sense soon you just have to go with it hun," Sarah face wistful as she thinks of her mate, a loving smile and blush forming.
