*Axle's POV*
When I leave Six’s apartment complex I have a very confusing string of emotions running through me. The only thing I’m sure of is that I love her and she loves me. That should be all
that matters but if somewhere in her logic chain she decides that I’m not good for her and, more importantly Theo, it’ll all be over. I know she would give up love for him. She would give up anything for him. And I would do the same for her.When I reach home, I find my dad’s car missing from the driveway and hear my mom and
Jameson’s voices coming from the kitchen. They’re seated at the dining room table and theyboth turn towards me when I walk in.“So?” Jameson asks expectantly.
“Could have gone better. Her fucking ex was there when I showed up. But I spoke to her and
explained everything. She said she was going to think it over first, which is fair. She has a lot to consider here*Six's POV*As I go to pull my shorts on, I notice a reddish-purple mark on my inner thigh. I turn my leg out to look at it. Are those teeth marks? Apparently he bit me harder than I thought.“Axle,” I whine at him. “Look what you did! I’m wearing shorts!”“So?”“So, your mother and brother are gonna see that!”“I still don’t see the issue. I’m sure they can guess what we were doing anyway. You're not exactly quiet,” he says with a wink.“Uuugh! Still! Just be more gentle next time!"He flashes me a grin and says, “You and I both know you don’t want me to be gentle.”I smile back and just roll my eyes because he’s right but I’m not gonna amdit to it out loud.“Alright Hannibal Lector, let’s go.”I take his hand and we walk downstairs to find Irene and Jameson in the kitchen.They
*Six's POV*When I get home, I put Theo to sleep and am in absolutely no mood to work so instead, I pickup my phone, unblock Alisha’s number and call her. She answers on the second ring.“Six? Is that you?” I can hear the shock in her voice.“Hey Alisha. Yeah, it's me," I say, glad she can't see me if I look half as uncomfortable as I feel.“Oh my gosh it’s so good to hear your voice. I am so sorry Six. I’ve been trying to call you andtext you and I-”“Alisha, woah, slow down. I know. I’m calling because I was wondering if you might wanna meet up somewhere and you know, catch up sometime?” “Yes, of course. Anytime. Like tomorrow after school? My house?”“Yeah okay. I can be there around 4," I tell her, still not feeling any less awkward. It feels a bit like I'm making an appointment with a gynecologist instead of going to visit my best friend.
*Axle's POV*It’s been a couple of weeks since everything with my father came out and Six and I are in areally good place. We’re together all the time and I think this is the happiest I’ve been my whole life. The band has had a couple more gigs and a definite increase in requests for us to play. Between practices and visiting Six’s mom in rehab and school work, it feels like we haven’t had very much time to just chill out and take a breather. It's exhausting.It’s a Friday night and we’ve decided to just spend the evening at Six’s place with Theo andorder in. When we make it to her apartment after school, Six grabs the mail and then we pick up Theo and head to her apartment. She starts sorting through the mail when we walk in as Theo runs off to his room. She stops in the middle of the hall and her eyes are wide as she stares at an envelope.“What? What is it?” I ask her, running through a m
*Six's POV*Axle walks up on stage and pushes up the sleeves to his leather jacket as he makes his way up to the microphone, “How’s everyone doing tonight?” People cheer and whistle. God his voice is sexy.“Glad to hear it. Y’all ready to hear some music,” This elicits more cheering and screaming fromthe crowd and Axle does a super hot half smile that has me considering jumping up on that stage and dragging him away when turns to Nate, indicating for him to start the beat. They play a few songs and our group makes its way to the stage to start singing along and dancing to the music once a crowd starts to form and we can no longer see them from where we’re sitting.Several more songs later, Axle’s voice says, “Alright, we’re going to take a quick 15 minuteinterlude and we’ll be right back with some more songs. How does that sound?” More cheering from the crowd. I love seeing how m
*Axle's POV*As we’re leaving the recording studio the Saturday after meeting with Trevor, we’re all feelingpretty good about what we put out. We decide to go out for drinks to celebrate after we drop off our cars and equipment and grab something to eat. We call the rest of the gang and tell them to meet us at a bar.When I call Six, she answers quickly and says, “Hey, how did it go?”“It went really well. We’re all gonna go out for drinks. You coming?”“I’m with Shaunice and Stan right now, so I dunno.”“You should come and bring Shaunice with you.”“Um, maybe, hang on I’ll ask her.” I hear some incoherent mumbling from the other end of thephone before she says, “Alright, Stan said he can watch the kids. Text me the bar and we’ll grab a taxi and be there soon.”“Awesome, see you soon baby.”When I
*Six's POV*The next morning when I wake up, I feel Axle’s arm wrapped around me as he spoons me. Istart to wiggle my butt a little bit against him and feel him start to harden against my ass. His arm squeezes me and he says in a super sexy, half asleep voice, “Don’t start something youcan’t finish."“Who says I can’t finish it?” I reply coyly.“The people coming over soon," He replies, attempting to hold me down with his arm to try and stop me.“Come on, we’ll be quick,” I say, placing my hand over the back of his and then leading it downmy body and in between my legs. He groans when he touches me and, at this point, I can feelthat he’s just as turned on as I am. I smile to myself silently celebrating my win.He moves his hips backwards and adjusts himself so that all he has to do is move his hips up and he’ll be inside me, but he doesn’t. H
*Six's POV*I add chocolate chips to the batter and cook the pancakes while we have casual conversationand Stan goes to get the kids while Axle helps me set the table. They take their seats and I pour them each a glass of orange juice before serving everyone pancakes.After breakfast, Axle helps me clean up and we decide to take the kids to the park so they can burn off some energy from all the chocolate chips and syrup. Keeping two 3 year olds pumped up with sugar indoors is really just beggin for a meltdown of epic proportions.When we get downstairs and into the parking lot, Theo comes in between Axle and I and grabsone of each of our hands and I say, “You holding on tight buddy?”“Ya!” he yells excitedly.I look at Axle and say, “Alright, one...two….three!” On three we lift him up in between us and he giggles and squeals. “Again! Again!”We continue this until we reach th
*Axle's POV*After exams and Christmas, which Six, Theo and I spend some of with her mother who got out of rehab and seems to be doing well and some with my family, not including my father, it’s the 3rd of January, and Six’s birthday is tomorrow.We still have a week left of Christmas break, thankfully, and I’ve planned a surprise party for her tonight with all of our friends and I even invited Alisha, Jordan and Shaunice. I know on her birthday, she made an appointment with my mother’s lawyer to sign and submit the paperwork for Theo’s guardianship and then have dinner with him so I had to do it the day before.Stan already said he would watch the kids since she still doesn’t want to leave Theo alone with Laura and I’ve told her that I want to have a pre-birthday celebration with just us so she agrees to come over to my place.When we drop off Theo, Stan says that Shaunice is “in the shower” when Six
