《Goody Two Shoes #Wattys2017》Song, Food and Strawberry

"Good morning, Gem." Axel said as he entered his room. I was still laying down replaying his words. They made me cry. They made my heart pierce in pain but I couldn't help but see a bit of hope. My heart wanted to take his suggestion for a try of our feelings but my mind feared that I will only end up more hurt. I already fell for him but he kept on call my feelings a "thing" as if they didn't matter that much, as if they didn't mean to him anything...I felt like I could be a mere stupid fling to him...What if after a month, he gets the need to go back to Liza? What if he finds out that he is unable to love anyone other than her?
"Morning" I shortly replied eyeing the tray in his hand suspiciously. Is he having a breakfast in bed? Did he fight with Olivia? And worst of all did she know about the loophole that I found? I am perfectly healthy and able to get pregnant but since I need a way out of this marriage and because Axel is clearly not in love with me, I must find a way to detached myself from him , his holding hands, comforting blue eyes and away from his possessive ways. I must leave him before I lose my heart and mind. I am must leave before he suddenly decides to leave me.
"I got you breakfast." Axel said as he walked towards me and I was shocked. Breakfast, for me, in bed but why? Did I over sleep or something? I rapidly turned to my left to find my clock ticking seven. It is my usual waking up time, so why? And why is Axel eyeing me like I was a fragile glass doll? Why is he suddenly moving slow like he is afraid to approach me? Why is the so great CEO walking nervously to me?
"Thanks but I can go downstairs." I informed him eyeing him weirdly
"I know that but I thought that you may like it." Axel said as he sat the tray on my lap and sat on the edge of the bed next to me.
"Thank you but I really doubt that Olivia will approve of us going missing for breakfast." I told him again refusing to accept such small gesture because it was making my heart beat insanely
"She was not that happy to see me cooking. I trashed the kitchen and annoyed the hell out of our chefs. I kept on asking them thousands of questions to make you breakfast. I never made a pancake before." Axel chuckled making my already heart melting heart swoon at him. " Yet when I told her that it was for you, she smiled really big and ordered all chefs to help me." Axel continued and turned my way. His eyes glittered as the sunlight invaded through the windows and reflected on his sea blue eyes. Dear god, I am falling hard.

"You cooked?" I hushed at him as my eyes studied his face, every detail about it. His hard jaw and slightly rosy cheeks. As if founding the proof to my answer, a bit of flour stained his cheek. I without thinking held my hand high and caressed his cheek lightly. His blue eyes shot at my mere touch. Seeing his reaction, I wanted to drew my hand away. I myself was blushing deeply. How can we fight last night but talk civilly today? Is this what they call the ups and downs of love? But it is not love. According to Axel it is just a "Thing".
"I cooked." Axel hushed but caught my hand tightly. I tried to draw it away but he wouldn't let go.
"You had a bit of flour there." I tried to reason my previous deed but Axel just continued to look at me. His eyes stared at me. I felt the same old shivers erupting in my body. My heart bounded fast. I could hear the crazy beats between my ears. Even my mind stopped working. It just froze. I just froze.
"Thank you." Axel murmured then brought my hand to his lips and kissed my palm. I felt blood rushing to my cheeks. I forgot how to breath and suddenly heat started from where Axel's lips sat and warmed the rest of my body.
"Did you have breakfast?" I asked him after a long silent moment.
"I didn't. Now that I have cleaning the kitchen, I will just have a coffee, here. When we go to the office, I will order a sandwich or something." Axel said as he smiled at me as he stood and took a small step away from the bed
"No." I denied his plan and the words flew out of my mouth without thinking "Eat with me." I suggested. What happened to my plan of pushing him away? Why am I always taking a step then walking ten backwards?
"Are you sure?" Axel asked and his stupidly blue eyes connected with mine making me shiver. Just refuse, my mind ordered but my heart and soul wanted me to nod. " It is okay, Gem. I will just go." he continued offering me a small smile because I didn't answer him back.
"Just stay silent but come and eat this can feed three people." I ordered and joked seeing the pile of pancakes and two omelettes than sat on two different plates with fruits, juice, coffee and tea.

"I didn't know exactly how many pancakes you liked. I didn't want to make less than needed. There also two omelettes because Liza likes whites only while I like it the normal way. Then you seem to eat strawberries whenever they are sat on the table, so there they are. You also like orange juice with your breakfast and change between coffee and tea." Axel explained and all sounded so sweet but one name that made sure to huant him still.
"Liza." I hushed bitterly and lowly thinking that he won't catch it
"I didn't mean to bring her up." Axel said as he rapidly and sat nearer to me on the bed
" It is okay." I promised as I picked my favorite cat mug
"Listen, Gem, I won't deny the importance of Liza in my past life. But now things are changing." Axel promised again and I just silently nodded drinking the black liquid and welcoming its warmth.
"She is your first love so no need to deny her importance. But try to avoid bringing her up in all conversations." I pleaded because whenever he brings her up my heart breaks a bit more
"I will try but does this mean that you are giving us a chance?" He questioned hopefully
"I don't know yet. I cannot just give you my heart fully when I know for sure that she who should not be named is still there." I said pointing to his chest and heart. " But thanks for the nice gesture." I continued and eyed my breakfast again "and I like my omelets with the yolk. I don't fear for my figure as much as she does." I informed him with a smile
"Well, you clearly have a greater taste and I like the ." Axel flirted using a so familiar song.
"That's my song." I informed him sticking my tongue out
"Well, I told you that agree with that Ed guy." Axel teased making me blush harder
"No, you didn't." I denied not remembering that sentence
"I did especially in that deep red dress. That image will always be carved into my mind and engraved in my wild dreams" Axel informed and laughed seeing me cover my face away from him to hide my blush. How can last night's tense atmosphere turn so light and playful? " Come on sweetheart, you clearly picked such dress to drive me insane." Axel continued to tease and I just did the only thing I could think of I picked a strawberry and launched it at him.
"So mature of you Gem." Axel playfully said as he placed the fallen strawberry in the tray.
"It stained the bed sheets. The maids will have so much trouble to clean it. It is all your fault." I grumbled at him
"It amazes me how you are so considerate. You don't care about the price of such pure silk bed sheets. You don't care about money but about how tired a maid can be. She who shouldn't be named." Axel laughed using the new nickname for his ex " would have ranted for hours about how pricey it is and even threatened the maid to clean it or be fired. You are a true gem sweetheart." Axel continued while sincerity laced his tone
"Thank you." I coyly said as I tried to look anywhere but him
"I really want to give us a try." Axel said again "Us" well at least this time he is not calling us a thing
"We will see but now let's just eat." I ordered and he nodded while his hand sneaked in his sweatpants's pocket and brought a fork out.
"What the hell, Axel?" I shockingly asked and he smirked at me
"I knew that you are going to invite me. I didn't have breakfast on purpose." He informed his smirk getting wider and his eyes shining with mischief
"You idiot." I yelled at him and crossed my hands in annoyance
"Just eat in silence Gem." He now ordered but his tone was still playful.
"I hate you." I grumbled at him
"No you don't now eat." he said as he picked a strawberry and held it near to my face.
"I can eat on my own thank you very much." I said annoyed but my blush couldn't be hidden
"As you wish Gem." Axel taunted playfully and drew his hand away and I stuck my tongue out again teasing him like a kid
