"Shut up, you're the one that almost lost someone their job!" I tell Axton as we walk out the mall. It was now evening, pink hues splattered over the sky. The sun had just set and the evening breeze hit my skin calming me down.

"He was giving you fuck me eyes!" Axton yells back.

"Doesn't mean he should lose his job."

"Yeah, you're right, he should lose his eyes," he says and I widen my eyes.

"You're crazy," I mumble to him.

"Only for you darling," he smirks, opening the door for me. Those words give me a sense of deja vu.

"What do pink skies remind you of?" he asks me and I instantly answer.

"Evenings at the summer house," I tell him and he smiles.

"Some of the best memories huh?" he smirks, probably remembering the pranks he pulled on me.

"Most of them. My family was really, a family you know?"

"Yeah." he says and I feel like ranting about it, but I don't want to bother him.

"Go on," he says and I look at him confused.

"What?"

"Go on, Soph, you can't act like it doesn't hurt." I sigh.

"Yeah, so many family members are calling me and giving me their sympathy but, it doesn't hurt. Is that bad?" I ask, honestly awaiting his answer.

"No, not at all. It shows how strong you are." he tells me, leaning over. Is it me or is this car too hot?

He pulls the seatbelt across my body.

"You, are so careless with your life," he mumbles as he buckles it. My mind drifts off to how careless he was with his life, once again I remember how many things this boy has been through. He's so strong.

Flashback.

"Ms. Sophia. Thank God you're here." Camilla, says as I walk into McKay's mansion. The house was dark, with little to no light at all.

"Where's Axton?" I ask her and she nervously speaks.

"Sir is in his office." I nod walking up the staircase, this house is so, lonely with Denzel and Eleanor gone, Paris is more important than their son.

I reach his office and I see him typing away on his computer, he looks exhausted, frustrated and sad.

I walk back down the stairs, into the kitchen where Camilla is.

"Has he eaten?" I ask her and she shakes her head handing me a plate of food.

"Thank you," I mumble, walking to his office again. I knock on his door.

"Camilla I said you're fired, leave," he growls.

I push the door open and his cold blue eyes meet mine.

"Sophia just leave. I already yelled at Jace and Amyra. Don't make me yell at you because I won't forgive myself." His eyes were filled with sadness.

"You can't live in here forever, you're gonna get sick."

"Then I'll be fucking sick!" he yells, running his hand through his hair, he looks good even on his worst days.

"Don't act like you fucking care," he mutters.

"I do."

"How about we go for a walk then you can come back?"

"Just fucking leave!" he yells, yeah he's not that good at scaring me.

"FUCK!" he stands from behind the desk and walks to the window.

"I'm sorry for yelling, I just-"

"Eat." I hand him the plate. Hesitantly he took the plate of food and started eating.

"How long have you been working?" I ask him and he looks at the watch on his left hand.

"Five days, non-stop." he scoffs. Huh?

"You need a break, Axton."

"My breaks are showers," he mumbles.

"Everything is so fucked up. My father fucked everything up and Corbin did the same shit. I don't even know some of this shit and I just sealed a fucking deal." he looks so frustrated I just want to hug him.

"My parents could care less about me. And fuck it hurts," he mumbles. My heart hurts.

I wrap my hands around his torso, he tenses but wraps his hands around me. I've never hugged him before. He gives good hugs, if only he was a hugger.

"Can we go for that walk?" he mumbles.

"Only if you let me throw you in the lake," I tell him and he chuckles.

"Not a chance Soph," he mumbles as we walk out of his office.

End of flashback.

"Soph!" I turn my head to look at Axton.

"What?" I ask him.

"Do you have Piper's assistant's number?" he asks me and I nod.

"If I may ask, why?" he scrunched his nose in disgust. He's cute.

"For the wedding," I mumble, pulling out my phone from my purse. I go through the contacts and find her number.

"What now?" I ask and he smirks.

"This isn't going to end well," I mutter looking out the window.

"You're going to call her and tell her, Piper requested the fake clothing to be dropped off at my house." he smirks and I immediately I have a plan in my head.

"You're smart." I tell him, calling her assistant.

"I already knew that." he smirks as I roll my eyes.

"Hello, Piper Fallon's PA." She answers the call.

"Hey, this is Sophia," I tell her and she gasps.

"I'm a huge fan of your line!" she tells me and I smile, I love people who are supportive.

"Thank you! I was calling to tell you that Piper requested her PR from my new summer line sent to McKay mansion, before eighteen, please." I tell her sweetly.

"Okay, sure, why didn't she ask me though?"

"Well, you know, she's caught up with her in-laws today," I tell her looking at Axton.

"Oh yes, okay, I'll send it over. I can't wait to get the new line tomorrow! I can't wait to meet you for the wedding planning!" she says and I smile. Stupid me, she isn't going to see your smile.

"Same here! Have a nice night!" I tell her, hanging up.

"You should start acting," Axton says and I cringe.

He makes a right turn and his bag from Pandora falls. I see a cinderella themed box. Huh?

Why is he buying cinderella themed jewelry?

My building comes into view and I get my stuff from the back seat.

"See you tonight!" I tell him.

"Yeah." he smiles at me as I get out of the car.

I walk into the lobby, making my way into the elevator. Why is he buying Cinderella-themed jewelry I keep asking myself.

The elevator doors open and my jaw drops at the sight in front of my door.
