#Chapter12

/"Relationship?/" he looks at me with an expectant expression on his face.

Goddamn it. I hated that word more and more.

I sigh. What do I say? I can't hurt him, but I also just woke up in this.

/"I-/" I close my eyes, trying to put the words together, and I can just feel Axel putting distance between us as he sees how reluctant I am.

Goddamnit, this is not what I wanted.

/"It's okay, I shouldn't have focused on that word./" he says, distant look in his eyes.

/"It's not okay./" I immediately stop him. I shake my head, let out a few deep breaths in frustration, then step out of the Jacuzzi on the patio floor, wrapping a towel around myself.

Axel's eyes follow me all the time, but they don't seem as happy as they did just a few minutes ago.
