《Always Him.》𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟 24

As McKay mansion comes into view, I get my stuff.
"Marty, can you take these flowers back to my apartment please?" I ask him and he nods.
"Thank you." I smile, walking into the house.
Obviously, my mind is cluttered with the unknown message I got. Maybe if I do nothing, it'll go away.
My heels hit the floor, causing everyone to turn to me.
Oh okay, hello to you people too.
"Darling! I'm so proud of you. The line is exquisite." I smile as Eleanor hugs me.
"Thank you, Eleanor."
I look to Axton and he's on the phone, dressed in of course a suit. Suit, a t-shirt, a freaking garbage bag, he looks good in anything.
His eyes meet mine and he winks at me causing me to smile.
"That is wonderful, Mr. McKay." I hear Piper's voice.
"Thank you, dear." I scrunch my face in disgust.
"Shall we begin with the wedding planning?" Piper asks and I honestly can't believe they're still getting Axton married to her.
"Firstly, I'd like to address some, issues I have," Denzell says.
"Axton and Sophia are the roots of some scandals, such as you two having an affair." He says and Eleanor scoffs.
"Actually Denzell, you can't stop that, even when I was in a relationship with Trey, I was accused of cheating with Axton."
"There really isn't any way out of it," Axton says, sitting next to me. I watch as the smile drops from Piper's face.
"Now, if there aren't any other so-called issues, can we begin with the choice of venue?" I ask and Piper pulls out a whole folder, filled with places. We go through them and I honestly question her brain's health. Her parents clearly want a traditional wedding, what part of a club screams traditional?

"How about the church on the tenth street, there's a good reception hall a few minutes down," I suggest and Piper's mom agrees.
"Actually Sophia, I would appreciate if you would not suggest anything, I want this to be perfect for my husband and I, so your opinion will not be needed."
"Well then, seeing that Piper can't keep her mouth closed, I guess you can find another wedding planner, with a certificate." I smile at her.
"Piper, your ideas are shit," Axton says, resting his head on my shoulder.
"Get off her!" The actual fuck?
"Get the fuck out," Axton mumbles, clearly exhausted of this wedding planning.
"Moving on, the menu. I'll send your PA a few catering companies, you can choose by the end of this week. Decorations, I just need your list of what you want." I tell her as she scrolls through her phone.
"Sophia, thank you so much!" Eleanor tells me and I simply smile at her.
"That's it for now, get back to me on what we spoke about, by Friday," I tell Piper.
"Whatever," she says getting up. How can someone be so bitchy?
"I will be leaving now, babe, walk me out," she says to Axton.
Axton looks behind him as if she was talking to someone else. I hold back a laugh as she rolls her eyes, walking out.
"Sophia, what time is your launch party?" Eleanor asks me and I instantly remember I had to ask Axton for the suite.
"Uh, one second."
"Axton!" I call him since he walked to the kitchen, he has a weird obsession with coconut water, I don't know why.

Sure enough, he walks out holding a glass of coconut water.
"Can I host my party at the Crowne Plaza?" I ask him and he shakes his head, downing the water in his glass.
"Thank you! Send the bill to my office." I tell him, walking away to his mom.
"Party starts at six." I smile at Eleanor.
"See you there honey."
"Honey, get your stuff, I'm taking you somewhere," Axton says in a mocking tone.
"Where are we going?" I ask him.
"To hell darling." I roll my eyes.
I grab my purse, as Axton grabs his keys and phone, making a call to reserve a suite at the hotel.
We walk to the garage and I notice a new Rolls Royce in the garage.
"Did your dad get a new car?" I ask and he smirks.
"No. Look at the colour, more closely." I take a closer look at the blue colour, mixed with gliter?
It gives of a shimmery look.
"That's Jace's birthday gift isn't it?" I ask him laughing.
He nods smiling as he opens the door for me, I get into his car.
"Do you remember the time he crashed his dad's car?" Axton asks and I start laughing so much.
"Of course I do! That day he slept at my house, he was so scared to go back home." I chuckle.
"He's so stupid, he crashed into a fucking tree." Axton chuckles.
I look at him and he's smiling, that pure smile suits his face. I wish he was always this happy.
"Thank you for the necklace, by the way, I love it," I tell him and he sends me a soft smile.
My phone rings and I see my mom's name flash across the screen.
"It's my mom." I tell Axton and he nods.
"Hey mom, what's up?" I ask her.
"Honey, give Axton the phone!" she says and I raise my eyebrow in confusion. Why does she want to talk to Axton.
"She wants to talk to you." I give him the 'What the hell is going on?' look. He extends his hand out and I push it away, holding the phone up to his ears. No driving and talking on the phone sir.
"Hey, Kimberly." Why does my mom's name sound weird when Axton says it?
"Yeah, no worries, it was me." I'm so interested in their conversation, I quickly put the phone on loudspeaker. But Axton quickly grabs it.
"Give me back the phone!" I whisper yell.
"Go to hell!" he mouths back and I gasp.
"Alright, you too Kimberly." I look down at the phone to see my mom had already hung up. Ouch.
"What was that about?" I ask, looking out the window. I see we're at the dock.
"What are we doing here?" I ask him.
"You ask so many questions." I glare at him.
