"So?" Bless asked as she sipped her coffee. She knew all about the progress of Axel and I's relation. All the kisses, nicknames, flirting and even bed routine. She knew that now he treats me like a girlfriend of some sort; he holds my hand, kisses me whenever his heart pleases and holds me tight between his hands to drift to sleep. All of that seems to aw people whenever we are around. Even, Olivia is the happiest right now.

"So?" I questioned back repeating the same word not knowing what she wanted to know, or to be truthful I knew but decided to ignore her glaring gaze.

"Is there any change? Did he make a move or announce a certain feeling to you?" Bless questioned as she rested her elbows on the table and her head on her fists.

"Nothing changed. Everything went smoothly for the last week..." I tried to assure her but something kept on nagging inside me, Axel should have made a move. He should have asked me out or declared that he likes me or even more...but nothing. We will always be forcefully married and just acting upon a crush 

"But ?" Bless filled for me 

"I feel like something is missing or soon enough something will go terribly wrong...We are happy now and I feel great, happy and fantastic even but..." I tried to reason my now seemingly disordered thoughts

"Because you are not progressing. You are just stuck between being friends and crushes. what about you making a move. He kissed you first." Bless suggested and offered me a huge daring smile

"He kissed me out of possessiveness. " I argued remembering our first kiss. When we nearly made out in front of Adam and Ava , also, caught us. That little memory made blood rush into my cheeks and I knew that they were tainted red by now.

"Are you truly that gullible?" Bless sarcastically spoke and withdrew sinking away in her chair " My relationship with Mitchy is moving way faster than your relation with your husband, even though Mitchy and I freak whenever someone says anything about commitment." Bless continued and a small smile found its way to lighten up her heart shaped face. She is clearly remembering all the trouble that Mitchy went through to please her. He asked her for a date and she refused. He brought her gifts she sent them back or directly gave them back. He tried to cook yet nearly burnt down her house. So she kicked him out of her kitchen and cooked for both of them. He even tried to write a poem but nothing rhymed. Yet when she laughed at his poem he acted so hurt and she couldn't but kiss him senseless. She said the words that she hated most and Mitchy said them back " I like you a lot." and now they are together , fighting all the time but together. 

"I am not gullible but sometimes I feel like Axel is changing topics whenever I am speaking about feelings or relations." I murmered at her remembering last night. We were in bed as usual; foot tangled and hands resting intertwined. My head laid on his chest and his free hand hugged me close to him. We said our usual goodnight and kissed briefly. Then mere pure silence took over us. It was not uncomfortable at all but when I said that I liked him and he just hummed a bit in agreement and drifted to sleep forcing everything to change. Different dark ideas colonized my mind then and my heart twisted in pain. He couldn't say the words back. He just hummed to silence me and his little gesture broke my heart.

"To solve this, we need Adam or any other Adam." Bless suggested and her eyes brightened and shined with mischief

"Axel knows that I am not interested in Adam anymore." I defended knowing exactly what she is hinting at 

"You don't need to like him. Just be friendly and let Adam be his annoying flirty self." Bless said back and evilly smirked at me

"Nope, I will lose Axel's trust. He was already hurt by Liza." I warned her taking my coffee mug and sipping a little welcoming the dark warmth of the coffee.

"I didn't say flirt back. Just talk normally to Adam. Your shared past can drive Axel mad with jealous and if that happens he will honestly and openly declare you as his and declare his love for you." Bless assured again but I didn't feel at ease with such a plan. It can surly fire back and hurt Axel's feeling or ruin our relation.

"Mitchel should be afraid of your dark little mind." I commented but saw Bless's smirk growing only

"Oh, trust me he is. He knows how frank, honest and mischievous I can be. Yet what draws me to him is that he likes my twisted mind. He actually helps me plan a lot of my tricks. You should have seen what we did to Aiden. Poor guy." Bless laughed easing the tensed atmosphere

"Mitchell told Axel and me about the prank. Changing the locks and keys of his car, when he is asleep, was savage of you both." I replied and an image of an angry Aiden popped again in my mind. He , three days ago, came to Axel and I's office. He threw the door with great force that it shocked us. I thought that he will mock our slowly growing relation again but his eyes, no his face was red with anger. He told us how Mitchel and Bless changed his car keys and locks and promised to get them back. Stupidly Axel agreed to help him because clearly he is not a fan of Bless. 

"Well, he shouldn't drink until passing out." Bless uttered still smiling 

"He is planing to get you back." I announced 

"Let him try." Bless answered smirking and I couldn't but smile at her childish spirit.

"So tell me how did it go when you woke up tangled in the hands of your so called husband?" Bless asked making me tense again

"I woke up before him and left him a note saying that I am having breakfast with you." I honestly told her what happened 

"Do you think that he still loves her?" Bless bluntly questioned and a pang of pain and doubt flared in me

"I don't know. He says that he is seeing stuff differently now. I don't hear her name out of his lips anymore. I don't know...He is being sweet protective possessive and in need of me but something is certainly missing...I just don't know." I replied and felt that every word burdened me even more. What should I do to break these new rising walls between him and me?

"What about doing your wifely duties? That should break all walls between you and the passion shared in making love can make you decide how he feels." Bless said rising her brows again and again

"Are all your solutions always that radical?" I blamed and my cheeks now surly are burning red. I even feel my heart pounding nearly skipping beats at the suggested thought of giving myself, my whole self to Axel in expression of love. Oh, and yes I truly fell for him but never the courage to tell him that I am in love with him.

"Men like radical stuff. Mitchell and I's relation started by a drinking competition when we were mere strangers, then a make out now the idiot is calling me his girlfriend , in front of all people. Even though I hate such a title, it is like I am his toy and he can declare that he owes me publicly." Bless replied yet her glare went softer and her tips of her lips moved to draw a small smile. She is clearly happily in love with Mitchell. And lucky them because at least they are open and honest.

"That idiot loves you and clearly you do too." I pointed with smile seeing how the immature childish Mitchell can break the walls of the feminist and strongly opinionated Blessing.

"Well Axel is an idiot for not saying that he likes you too." Bless commented and offered me an apologetic look

"We fell for two idiots but Mitchell is way easier to deal with.' I hushed at Bless and she just nodded probably thanking god for Mitchell...While I am praying god so that my last night words somehow went missing by Axel. If he didn't hear my confession it means that there is a slight possibility for him to say it back if I try again...But what if he heard it and decided that he does not like me enough to confess? 

"Just be frank with Axel. Tell him that you love him. Maybe he was drifting to sleep and missed your confession." Bless said back still sorrily gazing at me

"I am afraid that he won't say it back. That will break me for sure because I truly did fall in love with him. He is perfect when he wants to be." I confessed remembering how sweet and caring Axel can be, all the flowers and nice words and all the attempts to discover the real me. He even bought more gifts for Ava and went back with me to visit her. He asked her questions about me, about my favorite food, color and places. Finding it weird because he should have known all of those since we have been married for two years, Ava came a told me what happened then questioned me and I said that probably he just wanted to make sure of his information.

"I can get Mitchell to punch some sense into him." Bless offered again another wild solution of hers.

"You will do no such a thing." I warned 

"You are impossible. Just tell him." Bless commented then picked her coffee mug again

"I will find a way." I replied hoping that I do really find a way to get him to confess .
