Sorry for the late update. I had the busiest day, today. But here you guys go

As usual thanks for the endless support you guys are amazing 

Goal is down below

Sophia's Pov: 


You will regret going out. His words continued to ring in my ears for the whole party. I went out with my friends, thinking that Axel will follow me. I kept on hoping that he will come and announce that I was his to all of the guys that were around. Guess that I was just being silly and mislead by his angry tantrums.

Feeling a new born passion in his kisses, I thought that his heart just like mine was skipping beats, that his breath hitched whenever the distance was forgotten between us. Looks, like hope is truly is just for suckers.

Midnight ticked and I noticed that. But feeling a bit hurt, sad and rebellious, I decided to continue on partying. My friends were nice people and they made me smile unlike Mr.Tantrums. I danced a little but made sure to keep the perfect wife profile on. As much as I want to tease Axel I won't risque his or my repetition. I knew that some of the guys already knew that he is having an affair with Liza but at least they won't flaunt it in my face, yet again unlike Axel.

"We push and pull like a magnet do

Although my heart is falling too    

I'm in love with your body " Singing to myself I entered the mansion tiptoeing my way in.

"Do you know what time is it?" Axel's voice echoed through the silent rooms of the house and shocked me. He was sitting in the now dark living room. Not a light was on. He just popped out of nowhere.  why was he still awake?

"Something past midnight?" I easily answered ignoring his tone and hard features

"Are you drunk? and how's body are you in love with?" He continued to question. Did I at some point agree to play a game of Q/A ? 

"I don't drink. I am not Liza. And Ed sheeran." I answered  even though I started to feel annoyed by him. Maybe if I take off my heels, I would feel a bit better.

"Don't bring her into this and who the hell is this Sheeran guy? Did you meet him in that club? I don't remember an employee of mine named so" He roared at me

"Still standing up for her even though she cheated " I said feeling hurt 

"That is my personal business." He fired 

"Well my time out and any guy I speak of is my personal business too. From now on, I am not answering any of your questions." I dared yelling at him and continued my way to the stairs

"You will answer all my questions. Now who is this Ed guy?" He continued to yell

"Axel enough." I yelled while my eyes connected with his and I saw how dark and hard they looked. His eyes made me shiver. A part of me wanted to ease his anger but a bigger part wanted to ignore him. He is not treating me well so why should I?

"Sophia, you know that Ezra or Adam could be the ones sending that Ed guy to hurt you." Axel suggested and I couldn't hold my laugh anymore. I just found his seriousness and the silliness of his words entertaining.

"You should have more fun. Turn on the radio now and then and you will for sure know who is Ed." I explained and continued to walk upstairs to Axel's room

"What do you mean?" He asked following me

"That is another song that you will listen to for sure if you turn the radio on." I teased a bit more

"Gem, talk like normal people." he threatened as we walked inside 

"All normal people will know exactly what I am saying. It is like your living under a rock." I playfully commented ignoring his angry and confused face.

"Are you sure that you are not drunk?" He hushed again

"Yup." I promised leaving him behind and going to the bathroom to take a shower and change.

Thinking that Axel would already be asleep, I went out trying not make any sound because  If I wake him up, he will certainly yell again and make a scene. Yet crushing my ideas again he was still awake looking directly at the bathroom door like a hawk.

"Sorry if I made you wait." I apologized but he didn't say a word.

Seeing how tense our relationship is getting I decided to go back to the sofa. Hellish or not it would still be more appropriate than sleeping in the hands of a guy who still holds feelings for his ex. Remembering how Axel still defended Liza made me feel a pang of pain. I was honestly starting to like him but if he won't give up on her why should I get close to him.

Clearing my head in the shower, I promised myself to build the walls back around my heart. I will distance myself again. He ignored me for two years and I will act professionally with him till this marriage meets its end. I will push him away whenever he angrily kisses me. I will just treat him like I used to do; kindly but from afar...

"Gem?" Axel questioned as I sat on the sofa

"I am sleeping here from now on." I declared seeing his face hardening 

"I had enough of your shenanigans for tonight. I have to work early tomorrow. Just come and lay with me." Axel ordered sternly

"I am not your Liza and I will not be held by a stranger. I accepted us sharing a bed because you broke up with her. Yet clearly you are still in love with her. You just defended her even though we both know that she is a drinker. You came back home , for nights  picking her drunk sleepy figure. " I argued

"I already told you Gem. Liza is my personal business. But if you are jealous just admit it." he said then dangerously smirked at me

"Not in a million years. Now if you excuse me I need to catch few hours of sleep." I ignored him and his claim and laid on the sofa hugging one of its decorative pillows.

"You will hurt you back, Gem." Axel spoke yet this time worryingly but I didn't respond.

A backache is way safer and better than a heartache, well at least from my perspective.
