After Axel drove away from the saloon, Lily thought it would be the end of their outing but Axel didn't head back to the hotel. “Axel.” Lily called when she noticed he wasn't heading back to the hotel.“Yeah?”“Where are we going?” She asked.“A restaurant. It's past noon and we didn't have breakfast.” He replied and Lily mouthed an ‘oh’She realised she was hungry after all. “Okay.” She muttered in response and looked out the window. She decided not to think about what conversation Axel was having with those ladies, he already assured her that he was not asking for their numbers. She believed him and trusted him. The drive to the restaurant was silent, no one said a word to each other. Axel pulled over in the parking lot and they both walked out together, Lily moved closer to him and held his hand. Axel looked at her and she smiled at him.“What?” She asked and he shook his head in response.“Nothing.” He replied.“Okay, let’s go.” She said and they both headed into the restaura
Lily laughed again as Leo told her a joke. She couldn't stop laughing and Leo also joined her. They were at the bar, keeping each other company.Since it is a private bar and it is only open to the guests in the suites, only a few people were there. Hours passed with Lily not realising it, she had no idea it was night already. She kept enjoying her conversation with Leo. Leo’s phone suddenly beeped and he picked it up, it was a text and he ignored it. He noticed the time and his eyes widened a little.“Oh, shit.” He muttered and Lily raised her brows.“What is it? What's wrong?” She asked and he looked up at her.“It's past 8:00 pm already.” He replied and Lily gasped.“What?” She asked and hurriedly stood up, Leo did too.“Calm down, Lily. It's not that late.” Leo said, trying to calm her down but she didn't listen.She kept thinking about how mad Axel would be at her at the same time, she kept hoping he wasn't around yet.“I have to go.” He said and was about to walk away but he s
After their conversation on the balcony, Lily returned to the room to have dinner while Axel remained on the balcony. She picked different meals from the food cart and ate them happily. She was glad Axel wasn't mad at her. She suddenly thought about Leo and she smiled, she liked him and enjoyed his company, she really enjoyed being his friend. As she continued with her meal, she heard a phone beep and she looked around to see Axel’s phone on the table. Since he wasn't in the room, she stood up and walked to it. She picked up the phone and was about to walk to him but she got curious and decided to go through his phone. She turned it on and tried to unlock it but it required a password. She bit her lip as she thought of what it could be. She tried his name and last name but they were both wrong, she tried Nora’s name too but still, it was also wrong. She tried a random word too and it was still wrong, this time, the phone locked automatically by itself and it needed five minutes b
Lily sat on the couch with her phone in her hands as she scrolled through the internet. She was alone in the suite and bored. After what happened in the morning, Axel left the suite without saying a word to her. She had cried so much and was tired of crying. She decided to not think about it, it was her fault for getting her hopes high. She was supposed to know Axel can't change, even if he would change, it can't be out of the blue. It's all her fault.The door to the suite opened and she looked up to see Axel, she hurriedly stared back at her phone, she wasn't ready to have a conversation with him.“Go pack your bags, we are heading back to New York.” He ordered and Lily felt her heart shatter. He really doesn't care, the only reason they came to Hawaii was so he can do his dirty work. And now that he is done, they are heading back home. She didn't give him a response, all she did was drop her phone on the bed and walk into the closet to pack her things. AN HOUR LATER Axel stare
“You just let her go like that?” Max asked Axel as they both sat in the living room. “Yeah.” Axel replied and picked up his phone.“Really?”“What was I supposed to do?” Axel asked as he went through his phone.“Why does she want to leave by the way? Are you guys on good terms?” Max asked Axel and he looked up at him.“She found out about the main reason why we went to Hawaii and she got mad.” Axel replied and Max frowned. He might not be so close to Lily, but he knew Lily cant be so mad because of that, to the point of leaving the house. Axel must have done something else or said something wrong to her.“Is that the only reason why she got mad?” Max asked.“We need to talk about how to feel our goods in the new warehouse.” Axel replied. He changed the topic and Max decided not to push the conversation further. *******“We are going to have so much fun.” Nora said as they both walked out of her car, Lily smiled a little. She stared at Nora’s house and sighed, it was a mansion too b
“What?” Lily asked and Nora raised her brows.“What?” Nora asked back with a mouthful.“Why is Malia hanging out with us?” Lily asked and Nora hurriedly chewed her food so she could give her a response. “Axel’s stepmom asked me to be friends with her.” Nora replied and Lily furrowed her brows a little.“Really? And you accepted that?” She asked and Nora shrugged.“Yeah, its nothing. I have nothing against her and I know you both don't really get along but I am sure if you guys get to spend more time with each other, you both can work things out.” Nora replied. Lily didn't want to push the conversation further, if she argued with Nora, it would lead to her asking questions and she was not ready to talk about how messed up her life was. She shrugged in response and also ate her burger slowly. Nora was done with her meal but Lily was still eating hers.“I will go get ready.” Nora said and walked out of the kitchen. Lily sighed and continued with her meal. Minutes passed with Lily sti
After they left the movies, it was past noon already and they were all hungry. They decided to head to a restaurant to have lunch. They arrived there and they all made their way in. They sat at a table, Lily sat next to Nora while Malia sat opposite them. “What are we having?” Nora asked as she picked up the menu. “Anything you order is fine.” Lily replied and glanced at Malia who was going through the menu too. “I will have the same thing Nora has too.” Malia replied and dropped the menu.“Okay then.” Nora replied and waved at a waiter, he walked to them and bowed a little when he got to them.“We will have pasta and chicken.” She told the waiter and he bowed before walking away.“Lily.” Malia suddenly called and Lily turned to her, same as Nora. “I realised that I don't have your contact which is kind of bad. Can I have your phone please?” She asked with a smile and Lily looked at Nora, she shrugged her shoulders and Lily sighed before turning to Malia.“Okay.” She muttered and
“Hi, Lily.” He replied.“What are you... “ She trailed off as he ended the call. She watched him as he moved closer to the tree next to her window and started to climb it. At first, she was worried he was going to fall but he climbed it like a pro.She was still a little bit worried though.“Be careful.” She said as he got closer to the window. She moved away from the window when he got very close, he jumped into the room and he breathed out heavily. He was still trying to catch his breath when Lily rushed to him and hugged him tightly.“Hey.” He muttered and breathed out as he wrapped his arms around her. Lily inhaled his fragrance as she hugged him, she couldn't hide how happy she was to see him. She has missed him so much. “I really need to catch my breath.” Axel said and she chuckled and pulled away from him. He let out a heavy exhale and Lily watched him with a wide smile on her face. He ran his hand through his hair and sighed. He was feeling better and surprisingly, he sprea
