“Who said I am not going to do anything about it?” Axel asked and she sniffed. He sighed and pulled her into a hug.
“I just want you to always stand up for yourself. What if something happens and I am not there? You are going to have to take care of yourself.” Axel said softly and stroked her hair, she wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly.
“I’m sorry I didn’t do anything.” Axel apologised and she sniffed again. He held her gently in his arms and closed his eyes, the feeling he gets when she is so close to him is something he will always cherish.
“She knows everything.” Lily muttered and pulled away from the hug.
“I know, I know how to deal with that.” He replied.
“Are you sure?” Lily asked worriedly. She wouldn’t want everyone to call her a whore. She couldn’t imagine the shame she would go through and how it would affect Axel’s family.
“Of course.” Axel assured her and she wiped her tears. He watched her as she did.
“Where were you by the way? I was looking for you.”
“I know, I got your text. I was outside with Max, I saw you when you headed to the restroom.” He replied and she smiled.
“Okay.” She replied.
“Does your head still hurt?” Axel asked as he raised his hand to touch it. Lily moved away from his reach and nodded.
“Yeah, it still hurts.” She replied and he dropped his hand and locked their fingers.
“On a scale of one to ten, rate it.” He said and Lily bit her lip as she thought about it.
“Hmm, I think five.” She replied and he nodded.
“Why did you ask that?” Lily asked as they started to head back into the ballroom.
“Nothing, just asking.” He replied and she smiled at them.
They got back into the room and the party was still going on, suddenly Nora rushed towards them with a happy expression on.
“Why the hell have you guys been? You need to see the way everyone has been staring at the McCalls.” She said and chuckled. Lily looked around in search of them.
“They are standing over there with Susan.” Nora said and pointed at a corner, Axel and Lily looked in the direction, and they saw them at a corner.
“Everyone is mad at Lydia’s mum for inviting them. I love this season so much.” Nora laughed and Axel rolled his eyes.
“When is this ending?” Axel asked tiredly and Nora scoffed.
“Like what everyone likes for once.” She said.
“I like Lily.” He said and Lily turned to him surprised.
“Everyone likes Lily and I like Lily.” He added and Lily’s cheeks heated up.
“Yeah, everyone knows that.” Nora scoffed and walked away.
Lily giggled and Axel gave her a questioning look.
“You like me.” She said and he nodded. She smiled widely at him and he chuckled.
“What? What’s with the smile?”
“Because you admitted it. You like me.” She replied and Axel chuckled again.
“Yes, I like you.” He said again and Lily’s cheeks heated up.
Lydia suddenly walked to them with a smile and they paid attention to her.
“Mr. & Mrs. Blackwell, I am glad you came.” She said and Lily smiled at her while Axel kept a straight face.
“Thank you.” Lily replied and Axel squeezed her hand, she looked at him with her brows raised and he shook his head.
Axel wanted her to not be nice to Lydia, this lady could do anything to hurt her, and she shouldn’t be so friendly with her.
“Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the party.”
“We will.” Lily replied with a smile.
“Oh and Lily, you can come and check out the latest brand of wear at my store sometime.”
“Of course I will.” She replied and Lydia smiled at them before walking away.
“Being too nice will get you into trouble someday.” Axel said and she turned to him.
“No, it can’t. Being nice can’t get someone in trouble.”
“If you say so.” Axel shrugged.
“And if I get in trouble, you will always be there to save me.” She said and Axel chuckled.
“Of course, anything for you Lilyana.” He replied and she smiled happily.
“When will this party come to an end?” Axel groaned and Lily chuckled.
The party finally came to an end and Axel was glad, he walked out of the ballroom with Lily and they both headed home.
The drive wasn’t so long, they talked about Lily taking driving lessons. Axel’s response was not direct yet, he said he would think about it.
They finally got home and they both walked out of the car, as they headed in, Axel carried Lily in a bridal style and she screamed a little because she wasn’t expecting it.
He carried her up the stairs and she giggled as she wrapped her arms around her neck, instead of heading to her room, he moved towards his instead.
Lily was surprised, it was the first she would be entering his room.
He walked into the room with her in his arms and he dropped her on her feet. Before she could speak, he hurriedly kissed her and she reciprocated.
As they kissed passionately and it started to get intense, Lily suddenly felt the urge to puke. She hurriedly pulled away from the kiss and rushed into his bathroom. Axel rushed after her worriedly.
Lily puked in the toilet and Axel held her hair back for her, when she was done, she washed her face and Axel watched her as she did.
They both got back in the room and Lily sat on the bed while Axel stood in front of her.
He stared at her with furrowed brows and Lily wondered why.
“Is something wrong?” She asked.
“Are you sick?” He asked back and she shook her head.
“Is there something you want to tell me?” He asked further and Lily shook her head.
“Did you drink at the party?”
“Just a glass of wine.” She replied, she could see the worry on his face. She knew why he was worried, he was not just bothered because he thinks she is sick.
He suddenly brought out his phone and Lily raised her brows.
“Who are you calling?” She asked.
“Dr. Gerard.” He replied and Lily sighed.
“I am not pregnant if that is what you are bothered about. I got my period this month already and I took pills from Nora.” Lily said with a plain look and he looked up at her.
“I will still call him.” He replied and paid attention to his phone. Lily couldn’t help but feel sad, he really didn’t want her to get pregnant.
Is there any other reason behind this? If she is willing to stay with Axel for the rest of her life, does this mean she will never have kids?
