Silent Memories (Emery Scott)

Chapter Thirty Two:

Emery Scott~

There were no words to explain the feeling I had after the events that had just occurred. My breathing had finally slowed, my skin laced with a thin layer of sweat. I couldn't find any words so I just quietly removed myself from the bed and walked into the bathroom connected to my room. Axel was laying on my bed, no words were shared but I felt like none needed to be.

I didn't know what had overcome me, that in such a short amount of time I had been completely blinded by another, the feeling I had at the thought of him sent me weak at the knees.

I am drowning in the thought of Axel.

The touch of the warm water had me more relaxed than I could ever imagine. The way it soaked my skin, I brought my fingers to my plump lips and smiled.

Once I finished my shower I wrapped a towel around my hair and made my way to my chest of drawers to grab some clothes, Axel remained laying on my bed only he was now dressed in his boxers.

"Are you okay?" I asked quietly as I pulled on my
Pyjamas joining him back on the bed. He offered me a soft smile and nodded slightly but it wasn't very convincing.

"Everything is fine" he replied as he pulled me so that I laid on top of him as he wrapped his arms tightly around me. He sighed slightly as he kissed my forehead and I had an odd feeling in my chest.

"You're not fine" I replied.

"I am, I'm just tired and I have so much work I need to do" he mumbled as he brushed his hands through my hair.

"Do you need to go home?" I asked feeling my stomach sink at the thought of him leaving me.

"No, I wanna spend the night with my girl" he replied as he kissed my head. The sound of the words 'my girl' rolling off his tongue made my body ignite into a meadow full of butterflies it was a feeling that warmed me in every possible way.

"Your girl" I replied trying to hide my Cheshire grin that was plastered all over my face.

"I like sleeping next you at night, the nightmares disappear" he whispers into my ear the sound of his light breathing as it moves a small piece of my hair from my cheek. "I can't explain why" I smiled softly at the thought of Axel being able to sleep without the constant replay of what happened in his child hood, I know he told me briefly what happened I just hope one day he can tell me everything.

"From the night I met you, you have always made me feel safe" I whispered. I could feel Axel shift suddenly but maybe that was because he was uncomfortable in the position he was laying in.

"I promise I'll do everything in my power to make sure you never go through that again, ever" he replied kissing the back of my head.

Eventually I fell asleep to the soft sound of his breathing something I never knew could sound so beautiful and so peaceful.

The morning came too quickly, I wanted to stay in his arms for along as possible but when I awoke I felt cold and empty. I wiped the sleep from my eyes and looked to where Axel was last night only to find it empty and cold.

He left?

I thought we was passed this.

I rolled over to where my phone was on my stand and glanced at the time my eyes widening in shock 12pm? I never sleep in this late no wonder he left he told me he had work to do I just expected him to at least wake me.

I glanced at my call list and debated whether I should come across as a needy girlfriend and call him to see where he is and sighed in defeat as my button pressed the caller Id.
