Have you ever felt so safe that it scared you? It's like everything will go away and all you'll have left are memories. Instead of living in the moment, you try to memorize it. How he smells, how beautiful his eyelashes are, and how unfair it is that they are so perfect. When his shoulders flex, it gives you the illusion of angel wings. There is a scar beneath his right pec; it's really hard, and judging by the high rise, it must have been deep. I'll ask him about it later. For now, I'm going to focus on memorizing it.

I never thought I would have this. This melancholic thought first occurred to me when I was just 18. My classmates started dating at the age of 12. Back then, it was cute. But then mother nature intervened. What they got at 14, I got at 16. I never had a thing for bad boys, and that was the most popular phase when you're a teenager, which ruled out the majority of boys. The few good ones were already committed.

We had been doing this for a week now. After Jennifer's birthday, Axel had carried me home and put me in his bed. He slept on the other end. Since then, I've been sleeping in his bed, my head on his chest, our legs entangled. We even wake up early to make out. Crazy...

"You know it's rude to zone out on your husband like this," he teased, giving butterfly kisses to my knuckles.

"I didn't zone out, I was just... thinking." I lied. I did zone out while I was thinking.

"If you think this is going too fast, then tell me, sweetheart," he said seriously.

No, no, no... he's wrong. I propped my arms on his chest and faced him completely. "I was just thinking about how happy I am, Axel. I just never thought I would have something like this, something like—" I was interrupted by his phone ringing.

He sighed in defeat. His ringtone was different. He had assigned it to someone in particular, and judging by his face, it was someone he didn't like at all. Axel isn't the kind of person who has issues with many people. It must be Liam.
