Chapter 67 Beautiful love
As every minute passed, I realized that there was nowhere else I'd rather be than Axel, and in a way that scared me while equally making my heart race.
I was having what would easily count as the best day of my life while I watched him make small talk and smile at his weird jokes, and as you'd expect I smiled in return because I was paying more attention to him rather than the words leaving his mouth.
Every movement, every feature, every flaw, every detail, and every single thing about Axel appealed to me in a way that almost seemed obsessive, but knowing that he was just as in love with me brought me an unmatched relief.
"Lisa? Lisa? Babe?" His deep voice barely broke through my thoughts.
"Yeah?" I replied absent-minded, still trying to push past my thoughts and focus on what he was saying.
"Are you having a good time? You've been so quiet" His brows furrowed in confusion as he stared at me trying to deduce my mood based on my expression.
"I'm having the time of my life, I'm quiet because I'm soaking all of this goodness in" A huge smile spread across my face as I spoke.
"Whew, for a minute there I thought you were bored out of your mind" he breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled lightly.
"Do you know I've never been to a park?" I watched his eyes widen in shock.
"No love. I know we both had uneventful childhoods having grown up in Mafia families but towards my teens I became more independent and found time to explore a little" he narrated, his eyes never leaving mine.
"As the only daughter of the Mafia's leader I was almost always under surveillance and in intense training up until my teens, so nahhh" I replied in a low tone.
"On my part, that's a blessing in disguise because you'll make several core memories with me since it'll be your first time ever doing several things," he said with glee, a smug smile plastered across his handsome face.
"Of course, you'd love that, and honestly- I would too, very much in fact," I said while reaching for his hand and squeezing it gently.
"You're still the most stunning woman the universe has brought my way" he surprised me with a compliment as though we weren't having a different conversation.
"Well, it better remains that way because you're perfect for me and you better not be looking at other women- ever" I hoped he knew this was a threat, if he ever crossed me, he'd be dealt with.
"I'd never dream of it" he laughed and I knew he loved that I'd be as jealous as he would be if I ever took interest in anyone else.
"I'm having a swell time today, you know? Every single second that passes feels just as amazing as the last" I say still holding his hand in mine.
"Seeing you smile makes me feel just as good" he places a soft kiss on my forehead making me smile.
We spend the next two hours bantering about unbelievably weird occurrences in our childhood that no normal child would've gone through and survived.
Knowing that we survived anyways makes us laugh easily at the past because as tough as it was, it's made us who we are and it's made us surprisingly compatible since we have so much in common despite being raised as rivals.
As we banter we also fill up on snacks and wine until I'm tipsy, however as our designated driver for the night, Axel drinks way less than I do even though he has a high alcohol tolerance.
When it begins to get dark, I quickly text Tana that I might be back a little late to avoid getting her worried.
"You'll drive me to my hostel yeah? I'm tipsy as fuck" I asked slurring a few words, I'd been drinking since we arrived.
"No baby, you're coming home with me tonight, I want every inch of your body recoiling in pleasure" he answered, his eyes lowered and took in every inch of my body slowly while I could barely breathe after he spoke.
"What do you have planned for me?" I barely managed to get the words out with his sultry gaze fixed on me.
"You'll find out real soon and it'll all be worth it" he smiled and my anticipation built a pit in my stomach as my heart raced at the thought of what he'd possibly do to me.
"It's getting late, shall we?" He rose and gestured for me to take his hand which I accepted eagerly, I was no good at masking my anticipation.
We held hands and walked out of the tent and I gazed longingly at the rose path again. No matter how many times I saw it, I'd never get enough of how beautiful and romantic it was.
The walk towards the car was filled with a comfortable silence, he squeezed my palm softly at intervals that were genuinely calming and adorable, he seemed to always know what to do and that's why I knew he'd drive me crazy in bed later tonight.
"The air here is different, fresh, and serene," I remarked as I took a deep breath while we came to a halt in front of his car.
"Yes love, it does feel refreshing," he said agreeably as he pulled the door of the passenger's seat open for me.
"Thank you," I winked at him as I got in and he shut the door after me. I watched him walk gracefully to the driver's door and get in.
"Music?" he asked as we both fixed our seatbelts.
"Something funky, my nerves are all over the place" I laughed and he knew it was the wine speaking as I'd never say no to slow love songs.
"Your wish is my command" he chuckled and turned on the radio, I figured he just wanted to find a suitable radio station because neither of us had a funky playlist.
"Turn it upppppp" I yelled as soon as he found a radio station with a 90s vibe.
He laughed loudly and started driving.
The ride was filled with music, laughter, teasing, jokes, and a hint of longing as we both knew we had a night of lovemaking to look forward to.
I didn't know half of the songs that played but I whooped, bopped, and danced along happily anyways and my excitement somehow rubbed off on Axel because he was nodding along and laughing with me all the way.
Even a simple car ride felt like absolute perfection in his presence, how much more a night of lovemaking? Ughh.
Soon enough, we approached the gates of his house and got access to the building. However, as the music came to a halt because he had to park his car I felt a tinge of hesitation.
He alighted from the car and walked over to my side of the car and opened the door before I could reach for it. He treated me like royalty and I loved it so much!
"Why? Thank you" I smiled and kissed his cheek, I was really tipsy and it showed.
