Both Ember and Axle made their way into the restaurant. It was indeed new and beautiful. It had a black crystal floor tile, a white ceiling with white chandeliers that had yellow dim lights on them, there were a bunch of small black and white round tables around which were filled with people. They made their way upstairs to the quiet area that had only one table and nobody was there. Axle pulled out a chair for Ember and sge mouthed thank you sitting down on the chair. After she sat down he went over his chair that was across her from the table and he sat down. "I have already ordered food for us."He said. Ember nodded her head with a smile on her face.
'He really is new to this.'She said to herself. "What if I don't like the food that you've ordered?"Ember asked.
"That's impossible because I have ordered your favorite dishes,"He said.
"Okay. Alright that's creepy, first of all I know nothing about you, it was my first time seeing you last night but you knew my name, then now you know my address and my favorite food. You better start talking before I beat you up."She said.
"Would you really beat up.your own fiancé?" He asked.
"If he is a creepy stalker then yes I would gladly do it."She said.
"Okay, first of all I have known you for a long time. Do you remember the name Axy?"He asked.
"Yeah he was my buddy at kindergarten, but we became separated when his parents moved away from the city so he had to leave too and I never saw him again."She said.
"Axy was my twin brother,"He said.
"What? Really?"She asked. He nodded his head. "Wait, i knew your twin brother and not you that still doesn't make any sense and what do you mean was your twin brother instead of is your your twin brother?"She asked, Ember and Axy were friends for two years, we'll not really friends, Ember was more like the girl that always saved him from the kids that bullied him. They teased him telling him that his name was a girls' name(even though Ember thought that it was true). She was the one who always knew how to put those bullies in their places abd just like that Axy and Ember started hanging out. But he soon left and Ember was left all by herself and she was unable to contact him, still to this day she doesn't know where he is or what he looks like, but she just thought that he might look like Axle since they are twins.
"Well yes you only knew him, but he used to tell me about you everyday when he came home. He really thought that you were an angel that God had sent to protect him. A day wouldn't go by without him talking about you, so I became interested. I wanted to meet this angel that he kept on talking about everyday so I begged my parents to put me at the same preschool as him but they refused. After a while Axy started suffering from an unknown disease, my parents found a doctor for him.but he lived outside of the city so we had no choice but to take him there for his treatment." Axle sighed, Ember could tell that he didn't want to go on.
"So he didn't make it, right?" She asked and he nodded his head. "But that doesn't answer my first question.''She said. She wanted to change the topic because she could see that talking about Axy really brought back.painful memories for him and it didn't sit well with her. The last thing that she wanted was him crying on their first date.
"Okay okay I know. I returned to the city eight years ago and I was still interested in finding this angel so I did my research…"Before he could finish Ember cut him off.
"By research you mean stalk,"Ember said. Axle chuckled, shaking his head.
"Okay but not really stalking. I found out all the information that I needed, so then the only left was for me to find you and I did."He said.
"But that doesn't give you a reason to ask me to marry you now when I don't know you."Ember said.
"Well I just fell in love with you at first sight, so I just decided to seize the moment. I didn't want to waste any more time because you never know someone might get the chance to steak you before I do.''He said. Ember still felt like there was something that he was keeping from her. After a few seconds two waitresses came in with their food, and they put it on the table. Axle was not lying it really was her favorite food and that only gave her a reason to think of him as a creepy stalker
They both now started eating their food and chatting. Ember was starting to have a good time, she wished that the moment would never end but just like all good things all must come to an end. Before sge knew it was already 4pm and they were both standing outside the gate of the apartment building that she lived in. "I really had a great time today, thank you.''She said.
"Yeah me too, I am looking forward to seeing you again.''He said and then he leaned closer to her face and he gave a small peck on the lips. Ember was a bit disappointed because she wanted the kiss that they shared at that party last night but she was able to hide the disappointment on her face, maybe he wanted to take things slowly, who knows. I'll call you tonight.``He said.
"Yeah, I'll wait for your call."She said and she watched as he made his way back into his car and then he drove off. 'Dreamy.'She Said to herself.
"Ember!."She heard someone calling out her name. When she turned around she saw none other than Dean, if things just couldn't go from good to worse with this asshole around. She was ready to kick his balls if he tried anything stupid.
She rolled her eyes as he approached her slowly. He stopped in front of her, Ember already had her fists ready to give him a good beating. Even her feet were ready to kick his ass. "I have very limited time so start talking."She said."Ember, I know that I am probably the last person you want to see right now…"Ember cut him off before he could finish."You are not probably the last person I want to see. You are the THING that I DON'T want to see. Does your soon to be baby mama know that you are here?"She asked."No…Ember look, Axle is not good for you. You deserve better than him, he is just a rich playboy and he is just going to leave you once he is fed up with you."Dean said."Just like you left me because you no longer had feelings for me? Not all men are assholes like you. Just because I came across a dead fish, doesn't mean that all the fish in the river are all dead. So please don't waste your energy."Ember said. "Ember, listen to me he is not right for you, he just wants to to
"See this guy isn't worth it."Dean said but Ember didn't even bother to listen to him, she just told herself that it was all nothing but a misunderstanding, there is no way that he would just propose to her while he had a girlfriend or maybe that whole proposal thing was just a prank.and he forgot to tell her that he was just pulling her leg. She closed her eyes taking a deep breath and she opened them again, she watched them as they made their way to Axle's car still holding hands.Ember felt like she was about to explode, this dickhead Dean had just dumped her and now her new fiancé or whatever you wanna call it was here with another woman, and there was no that this could be some sort of misunderstanding, just why exactly is God being like this with her, her life was already going down and now it felt like it was rushing down."Axle!"She shouted and Axle turned his head to see who was calling her and he saw Ember, he didn't seem to be afraid or nervous he just made his way towards
"You know you didn't have to be like that with her, I wouldn't mind sitting at the back."Ember said looking at Axle who was focused on driving."You are my fiancé and we'll be getting married soon and she has to learn how to treat you with respect,"He said."I know that, but what if she hates me now?"Ember asked."It's okay, she'll be fine. She does this all the time,"he said."You know you are making it sound like it's just something normal, she's your best friend and I don't want to get in between you and your friendship."She said."Can we not talk about her now.''He said and Ember just kept quiet and she looked outside of the window. The road was busy as always, there were a lot of cars on the road but not too many to cause a traffic jam. Sometimes she wondered where she would be if she hadn't met Axle after Dean dumped her, she would probably be still crying over him, or going out to drink every night even though she doesn't drink, she just hoped that she wouldn't regret saying ye
"Axle, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"Ember asked."You-"Axle was cut off before he could finish his sentence. "Axle,Look at you, you look even more handsome in person, my daughter is really lucky. My name is Catherine and I am her mother." She said extending her hand out for him to shake and he shook it even though he did not want to."Nice to meet you."He said, trying his best to fake a smile. Ember could tell that Axle didn't like her mother."Axle, come let's sit down."She said pointing at the couch. She had never sat on it before but she assumed that it was probably uncomfortable. "Uhm, sorry I am actually in a hurry, I just came here to drop something off."He said, taking out a gold bracelet from the right pocket of the black jeans that he was wearing. "You left it in my car last night."He said. Ember could see Catherine wiggling her eyebrows at her, she was probably thinking that they had had sex in his car, but that was not the case at all."OH, I have some
They both laid down on the bed quietly after their third session, well two and a half because the first one was a ended a little earlier than the other two. Axle caressed her back and Ember just enjoyed the sound of his heart that was beating really fast and his chest was rising and falling faster. "Ember."Axle said, he was still facing the crystal white ceiling above them. "Yes?""Do you trust me?"He asked. Ember lifted her head and she sat up from the bed and then she looked at him, she was confused. She didn't know why he was suddenly asking her such a question."Why do you ask?"She asked still looking at him. He sat up straight."Just answer my question."He said. He didn't look like he was joking or anything. He had a serious look on his face."I don't get it. Is there something you are hiding from me?"She asked. Axle looked down at his hands."No."He said trying to avoid eye contact with her. Ember could feel that something was not right but she just decided to brush that feelin
"Tell me, is it true?!"Ember asked."Y-yes, Ember I am really sorry."Diana said. She didn't know what to say to Ember to make things better. She knew that she had messed up, big time."Why? I loved you so much, I treated you like a sister."Ember cried. She didn't expect someone like Diana to do something like this to her."Ember, I am sorry. I let jealousy get the better of me."She said."Jealousy? So all these years you were pretending to be happy for me and Dean? Are you going to try and fuck with Axle too?"She asked."Ember, we were both drunk that night and I couldn't control myself because of the alcohol. I wanted to tell you what had happened but I couldn't, I have always liked Dean way before you guys started dating. I tried to be happy for you but I couldn't."She said, after saying those words Diana felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders."You are so fake, I can't believe that I treated someone like you so nicely. I have been a fool for all these years, you
Ember woke up to the light striking her face, she looked at the watch on the nightstand and she saw that it was 11:11am, she dragged herself off the bed and she made her way into the bathroom to take a shower. After taking a shower she made her way into her closet and she took out a blue mini dress with thin straps and black high heels. Today was the day that Ember got to pick her wedding dress. Their wedding was going to be held in a month, she was yet to be told where the wedding would be held. She had received a call from her future mother-in-law and she told her that she would meet her at the boutique.After twenty minutes Sophie arrived. "Hey girl."Sophie entered the apartment and she gave Ember a tight hug. Normally Diana would be present but after what had happened nobody talks to her anymore. She tried to reach out to Ember but she just ignored her. Ember thought that it was best for them to stop being friends because what Diana had done was something that was unforgivable,
Ember sat in the dressing room waiting patiently for Bella who went to get her a few dresses to try on and pick the one that she likes if there is one that she likes.After a few minutes Bella walked in with three dresses in her hands and she hung them on the hangers. "These are the dresses that I am pretty sure will match the standards of the Bolton family, I have asked Karen to help you out while I try to find more dresses for you."She said, Ember nodded her head in response even though she was against the idea of being in the same room with Karen. A few minutes after Bella left the room Karen got it in with a smile on her face. "Hello there Embere."Karen said, smiling at Ember. Ember could feel that that was not a good smile and that Karen was probably up to no good."Hello Karen."Ember said, smiling back at her."You know I wanted to apologise for what I said earlier and for not being nice to you on our first meeting. I hope that you can forgive me."She said looking at Ember. Emb
