Burning me

Chapter twenty six - Venera

I giggled when Axel sat next to me and kissed my neck at the lunch table. He knew I was ticklish, yet he continued to tickle me.

I threw him a threatening look, but the smirk on his expression wouldn't have gone away.

His lips pressed on mine as he kissed me softly in front of our friends.

"Okay, guys, I know y'all love each other and all that, but there are still people who don't have relationships, okay?" Sophie said.

We broke our lips apart and saw her look between Enzo and Carla, who were also kissing, and Axel and I.

Carla ended up finally telling Dwight about them a week ago, and he already knew. He wasn't blind, after his words. He just waited for them to come out. Also added the fact that he was nothing compared to his father.

Enzo didn't tell Carla about the Mafia yet, and I didn't tell Axel either. I'm kinda waiting for the right moment.

The past few weeks have been perfect. He took me on pretty many dates whenever he got the chance. It was usually in Fridays and when I was free on Sundays. He forced me to go at a party on Halloween and I got drunk again. That time he didn't leave me out of his sight. I danced a lot, drank a lot and ended up trying to sleep with him again. He didn't give in and I was thankful. He was pretty good at controlling himself. I respected him for that.

He made me feel special and wanted. I barely had any nightmares and my schedule felt a lot more relaxing than the first weeks.

The bar kept going great, but I didn't accept getting paid. I couldn't. I had enough money in my accounts. I just worked there because I didn't like wasting my time on doing nothing. Boss was pretty shocked, even when I asked him to split my salary to the others, without them knowing. To them, I got my money monthly, but instead I got an empty envelope.

Without even knowing, there were just a few weeks until winter vacation, soon having to go home.

I still had to give my exams, but I didn't see it as a difficult task. I was one of the top students, my professors saw me as one of the best students, but I didn't put much thought into it. I was just studying and doing my assignments. Sounded pretty easy to me.

I didn't hear about Isaac in weeks, but I saw him around. I heard he couldn't play because of his arm for a few weeks, so whenever I saw him he glared at me. I mostly ignored him. I didn't want him to do another shit thing to me.

Everything else went perfect. My relationship with Axel was the best in all honesty. He was all I could ask for and even more. There were times when I was wondering why did he want me, but he always made sure to cover those thoughts with his sweet gestures. He worshipped me and cherished me. He showed me he cared when I was down and he stood by my side. He was the best boyfriend someone could ever ask for.

And what meant probably most, he waited for me. He still was. And he was not pressuring me. Not at all. He did a lot of good things for me, not just those.

God, you should've seen him when he came with a bunch of food and pads when I was on my period and out of both of those things. That was unbelievable.

I didn't admit it yet, but I fell hard for him. I was just waiting for the right moment to tell him.

In the end, everything went perfect. Well, almost. There was one thing I couldn't accomplish and it bugged me.

You see, whenever I called my Dad and tried to talk to him, tell him I had a boyfriend, he either didn't pick up, he either said he was busy and would talk to me later. But he never called. The same went for Enzo. Dad kept brushing us off and neither of us had the chance to tell him stuff. We never talked to Mom, so he wouldn't have found out like that.
