“I love you, Daddy,” I said reaching down to hug him gently.
“I love you too. Now go and get him before it’s too late,” he called after me as I ran out of the room.
My dad was right, Axel was right, and I was wrong. And I needed to get to Axel before I lost him forever. I remembered him telling me that he was leaving in the morning, and I also remember which airport we’d landed at.
The only problem was the rush hour traffic. I jumped in my car, thinking that I could turn on the radio to see how heavy traffic was this morning. I turned the key, once, then twice. But nothing happened. Slamming my fist on the steering wheel when I realized that I’d left the headlights on, I cursed myself, jumped out of the car, and ran towards the street.
I was about to signal for a taxi when one pulled up in front of me. The back door swung open, and my heart dropped immediately. Dark brown eyes stared straight into mine.
“Hello Jaida,” Ethan said.
I’d always wondered what would happen when I saw him again. Would I cry or would I scream? Would I fall back in love with him? Or would I be holding Axel’s hand?
“Hi Ethan! Bye Ethan!” was all I said before jumping in the taxi and telling him where I needed to go.
I looked back and snickered at Ethan’s dumbfounded expression, but turned my sights back to the road as the taxi drive merged in with traffic. Looking down at my phone, I searched for Axel’s number in my phone book.
It rang and rang and rang, but Axel never opened it. I wondered if that was because he was in the air already, and I just missed my chance. I cursed under my breath. There was no way that could happen. I needed to get to him before he left!
“Sir, could you please speed up!” I said impatiently.
“Look lady, I don’t know what your deal is, but there’s no way I’m getting to that airport in under an hour.”
“Are you sure? There are a lot of openings here on this bridge; can’t you just squeeze in a little?”
“And scratch this paint? It might not seem much to you, but this is my living!”
“I know but I need to get to the airport fast, ok? IT’s a life and death situation!”
“It sounds like a personal problem to me. If it was such a life and death situation then why didn’t you just stay in the hospital? You’re just going to have to wait!
“Shit! Listen, I need you to make an exception ok? I’ll pay you extra if you can get me there in less than thirty-five minutes.”
“How much extra?”
When I got to the airport, I immediately felt overwhelmed. I’d never seen the airport this packed before. I realized that it was Friday, but still, this was worse than traffic. Squeezing past a few people as I searched for Axel, I remembered exactly where Axel would go. The only problem was getting to him before he got there.
I reached back in my phone, and was shocked when I saw his name flash across my screen. I answered immediately. At first I couldn’t hear him, but finally finding a break in the ongoing chaos of the airport, I asked him what he said.
“I said, what are you doing?”
“I’m looking for…wait, what do you mean what am I doing?” I asked looking around.
I was going in circles until I froze. The look on his face stopped me dead in my tracks and caused my heart to thrum deep in my chest. He looked so, intimidating. I knew that he was mad at me, but he seemed almost livid right now, instead of happy to see me.
“I’m glad I caught up to you.”
“Why?” he asked.
“I…wanted to find you.”
“I understand that, but why?”
Axel, I’m here, to find you because, I wanted to say that I was wrong to let you leave. And I was wrong to let my family put a wedge between the two of us. I should’ve said something to them. I know you’re mad at me, and with good reason, but if you can forgive me, I would like for us to start again,” I said as he stood three steps from me.
“Give me a reason why I should? I mean, you honestly can’t expect me to give you another chance. How do I know you won’t do this again?”
“I will do anything to prove to you how truly sorry I am. Axel, the day I met you, was the day you changed my life forever, and I can’t imagine my life without you. Axel, I love you.”
Axel tried to hide his happiness, but I could tell that those words meant a great deal to him. He looked away from me and to his left for a while, and didn’t say anything. I almost felt as if I should say something, but before I could, I was swooped up and into his arms.
He kissed me fiercely and passionately as his arms held me tight against him. I felt so happy that my eyes watered with emotion. I’d never felt a love like this. Axel was mine now, and I would never let him go again.
By the time we’d gotten back to the states, it was around noon. My mom knew that we were on our way and made the necessary arrangements for our arrival. A few months had passed, and dad had made a full recovery. MY mom told me that he’d been eating a lot healthier.
He even told me that he’d been to the gym several times that week and had started a new healthy regimen. My mom said she hadn’t seen him that healthy in years. I couldn’t wait to see him. I missed my family, but not near as much as I missed my dad.
I knocked on the door as soon as we’d gotten out, and was greeted with a huge hug from my mom. Walking past her, I gave my Josie and her husband a hug, before finally reaching my Dad. I could hear Axel getting along with the family with ease, and smiled when my dad kissed my forehead like I was five years old again.
When I turned around to look back at Axel, I noticed that he was holding Samuel’s hand in his. They were locked in that embrace for some time before Sammy gave him a hug. Lucas followed suit and embraced Axel as well.
“I hope we can have a good relationship, Sam and Luke.”
“As long as you treat our sister right, we’re alright,” Samuel said embracing Axel once again.
“You never have to worry about that.”
“After what you did for our father, paying the bill that we could never have afforded in our lifetimes, you became number one in my book,” Luke said
“Oh please, you had a crush on Axel from the start!” Samuel said causing the whole family, who had been listening in on their conversation, to burst out into a fit of laughter.
“Man! Shut up Shaft!” Luke teased causing the family to continue in on the laughter.
After the family finally settled down, we all gathered around the table for dinner. Mom had prepared a healthy selection of grilled chicken breasts, and salmon along with veggies. Everything was delicious, and we were all having such a great time.
When the laughter died down for a moment, Axel and I decided that was the perfect moment to announce our surprise. Axel gathered their attention, and gave the floor to me as I held up my small hand.
“You’re engaged! Oh my baby!” My dad exclaimed.
“This calls for some bubbly!” Josie called out.
“Oh Lord, somebody better get this woman away from the wine!” Sam teased.
“I’m so happy for you, you two are a wonderful couple,” my mom complimented.
After dinner was over, and we’d said our goodbyes, Axel and I headed to our hotel to check-in. Since our permanent residence was now in Tuscany, I gave up my apartment and left my car with to my mother. My job interview with Axel went well, like he’d predicted, and I was signed on as a permanent employee of the company.
When we arrived at the hotel or should I say, luxury suite, I knew that something was up as soon as I opened the door. Dim light lit the room romantically. The smell of fresh roses wafted up from under my footsteps as each petal caressed my bare feet.
As I walked further into the suite, I bit my lip, and turned around to notice a huge stuffed teddy bear stood eye level with me. I’d never seen something so large in person, and I immediately reached out and took it in a warm embrace.
I looked over its fluffy brown shoulder at Axel, who held
a slender black box in his hand. He opened it to reveal a white gold chain with a chocolate diamond pendant dangling at the end of it. It was so gorgeous I didn’t even want to touch it.
“Don’t put it on me just yet. I want to wear it tomorrow with my new dress.”
Axel nodded in compliance as he placed the necklace back in its box, and set it to the side. Grabbing my teddy bear from me, he tossed it to floor, and snatched me off of my feet almost as if I were a teddy bear.
He walked easily over to the bed, and lay me down gently. His hands met with the flesh of my belly underneath my shirt, and around them rim of my low rise jeans. He pulled them down slowly kissing the flesh of my thighs as he revealed them. I sucked in my breath each time I felt his stubble scrape gently against my inner thighs.
When he was done, he came up to place his lips against my belly button. He kissed it gently twice before climbing on top of me. My shirt was up and over my head before I felt his hands as the softly caressed my breasts. I moaned as he gently revealed one nipple from the silk of my powder pink bra.
He teased it with skilled fingers as he watched me writhe beneath him. Reaching behind me, he took my bra off in a matter of seconds, and tossed it to the floor. His hands came up to grab my sound mounds of flesh before leaning down to give them both a sweet gentle peck. When he sat back up straight, he stopped his sheer torture, and for a moment, all he did was stare at me.
“You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. I’m the luckiest man on the planet to be able to call you my girlfriend, my fiancée, my future wife, and mother of my children.”
I took in a deep breath as the goose bumps struck me as hard as those sweet soft spoken words had. I brought my hand up to cover my mouth as I looked into his beautiful eyes. The love that he was showing me was raw, it was real, and it was all for me.
It was the deepest look of love that I have ever seen in a man’s eyes. I began to tear up instantly from the happiness that he bestowed upon me with those words. Axel wiped them away with his lips as he kissed me on the cheeks. He trailed them down my neck as I wrapped my arms around his. They tenderly kissed each collarbone, each breast, and my lips as he left patterns of affection down my body.
I closed my eyes when I felt his mouth against my sex. I almost held my breath when he began to fill me with his fingers. My panties were pulled down and tossed to the side before he optioned to work on me. I felt his lips kiss me tenderly as my hips rocked against his face.
My fingers began to dig into the sheets as I called out in sweet agony. I felt my hips began to buck with my building orgasm. Axel continued to thrust his fingers in and against my g-spot, causing my walls to tremble as strong waves of pleasure erupted into a powerful orgasm.
His name rang through the room like a ballad as I sang his praises. He immediately came up to cover my mouth with a warm seductive kiss. I tasted myself on his lips before I bit my tongue. The pressure from his size entered me almost immediately after he was finished, and before he stood up. My leg wrapped around his waist before I felt the cold hard wall suddenly against my back.
My legs still wrapped around him, I nearly screamed in pleasure when he thrust deep inside of me in one hard stroke. I bit my lip and scored his back when I felt him again. My legs began to tremble as he picked up tempo, and my face began to spot with sweat as my breathing turned into full on panting.
The sound of our hips smacking together was pure and erotic as it echoed off the walls. I cried out his name more times than I can count, and moaned over and over again with each pump of his erect member. He held me to the wall like I was a nail and he was the hammer, I couldn’t remember a time when I was ever so happily compared to construction tools.
I could tell that he was close. The look in his eyes was almost feral as he pressed his forehead against mine. His hand wrapped gently, but firmly around my neck as he picked up his tempo for the last few thrusts. His voice came out like a roar against my lips, I felt as though my eardrums might burst, but didn’t care.
Axel’s knees buckled, but he caught me before we both tumbled to the ground. I laughed as I lay sweaty and exhausted on top of him. He pat my bottom a couple of times before he gave it a nice firm squeeze. I lifted my head, and looked into his eyes to see the same look of amusement mirrored in them.
“God I love you,” he said breathily.
“I love you too.”
