Stella

After the last interaction with Axel, I think I'm starting to feel more comfortable with him now. He's so cute when he's caught off guard doing something he thinks no one sees him doing. 

Like when he was staring at him and made up the excuse of the bird, like, sir?

I'm currently laying in my bed, scrolling on my phone, thinking of what to do for the day. That thought soon goes away when I'm suddenly approached by a, "Stella."

Axel. Shit. His hair is messy as fuck and.. ooh damn his abs. Does this man own a shirt? Oh fuck, the grey sweatpants too? Fate is really against me huh. Butterflies go off in my stomach and it's like I lose all of my common sense. I hurriedly get up and even though the height difference of him being 6"4 and me being 5"6 doesn't help at all when I try to look up at him. His eyes darken.

I swear to god, my neck's going to break. I'm in a really loose tank top which probably shows my tits from up top and short shorts. He looks me up and down and I'm 100% sure I look like a tomato right now. Great job, Stella! You're wonderful at this.

I'm standing there for a hot 10 seconds waiting for him to say something but all he's doing is staring at my ugly ass morning face. I cough as a way for him to get the memo.

He flinches in the slightest of slightest. "I-um, was wondering, if-" He scratches his head and his cheeks turn the shade of a flamingo. Is this man stuttering right now? Axel? Axel Xavier Haze is stuttering? That too, in front of me?

I let out a small laugh and he gets slightly annoyed, his nose scrunches up and I want to grab his face and smother kisses all over it. He's too cute.

"Go ahead." I let him continue.

"Actually, forget it." He runs a hand through his hair, but I'm desperate. I grab his hand and tug on it so he pulls back. His eyebrows furrow and he scans my body.

"No. Tell me." I say confidently. Feeling bold today huh, Stella?

"Nah, it's fine." He grins. Is he pulling this shit on purpose?

"Shut the fuck up and tell me." I get annoyed and he smirks. Yup, on purpose.

"Beg for it." His eyes darken again and he smirks. But like a horny smirk. Huh? My eyes for sure widened.

"Excuse me?" I ask, confused.

"I said, beg for it." He repeats calmly. How does every conversation of ours turn into something sexual or argumental?

"Beg for what? Your small ass dick?" I laugh knowing that statement isn't true.

I can tell that throws him off a bit, but he doesn't say anything. He runs his tongue through the inside of his cheeks and chuckles.

"Mhm, mhm."

Good lord. This fine man can come ruin me any day.

"Anyways, I was going to ask if you wanted to go to the book store that's really close to the college. Since, well, that's the only common hobby we share. But, it looked stupid so I dropped the idea of it."  That's so fucking cute.

It's like his hands are searching for something to play with but he has nothing on his hand except rings. His eyes fall on my teletie, and his mouth opens a bit but shuts immediately. He shoves his hands down his pockets and scans my face waiting for an answer.

"Sure." I simply state.

His eyebrows furrow as if that wasn't what he expected.

"Wha- What?" He looks embarrassed seeing himself stuttering.

"Yeah, sure. Let's go. Does at 4 sound good? Because there's this really good restaurant I want to try." It was already 2 since I slept really late.

"Oh. Um, yeah, yeah. Sure." He blinks really fast and leaves to go get changed.

Ha. Got you there.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I decide to wear a baby pink crop top and high waisted baggy jeans with a medium sized black zip up over it incase I felt cold. I did my makeup, very minimal. Mascara, mini eyeliner, highlighter on nose and cheeks plus eyes, lip gloss, and blush. I let my hair out and I had my curtain bangs sit right on top of my head at the front.

I'm sitting on my bed scrolling through my phone waiting for Axel.

"Ready?" He asks putting on his watch. He was dressed in a black tight fitting black sweater pullover, and jeans. Rings on his hand, and a chain on his neck. He runs a hand through his hair and scans my outfit. When he realizes I catch him looking, he hurriedly pulls out his phone as if he got a text. 

"Hmhm." I let out a cough.

"Yeah, let's go." He lets out his hand in front of me as a way to signal to go first.

I can't wait.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We get breakfast from the canteen and get in the car. The Hills by The Weeknd is playing in Axel's car when we stop at a red light.

She gave me top at the red light, suddenly starts playing in my brain. I try to shake it off laughing at the thought of my stupidness.

He grips the steering wheel tighter and his veins pop out. His jaw is clenched and I can't tell if he's mad or not.

"Lets play 20 questions." I blurt out.

His head spins towards me and he looks back at the road. I guess that's my sign to ask first.

"How many siblings do you have?" 

"2." He simply states.

I pause, as a way for him to get the hint and elaborate. He sighs and continues.

"One younger brother, and one older sister." 

"What are their names?" I ask wanting to know more.

"Nina and Eli." Aw.

"You?" He asks.

"One younger sister. Sage." I smile.

He nods, and I see our destination arriving. 

We go inside of the bookstore, and it's so beautiful that I almost let out a gasp. Dark academia aesthetic, and a café on the side. It's gorgeous. There's so many couples here it makes me want to cry. Both tears of joy and sadness. 

I notice a group of attractive fine guys huddled up talking to each other. One of them points to me and the other guys smirk.

Out of the blue, Axel grabs my hand and takes me with him. Huh?
