guy has to have some mystery," he grins and crashed his lips to mine. 

 

I groan and he makes a growling sound and kisses me harder. My hands move across his back with my nails digging into his back. His hands moved beneath me and suddenly I'm straddling him. I come up for air panting. His hands grab my hair and pull my mouth back to his. I could feel his hardness beneath me. I start to move my hips and grind into him making him groan. It feels so good. His hands caress down my back searching for skin. My skin tingled when his hands made contact. I moan into his mouth. His hands travel up my back and then moved to the front to cup my breasts. I gasp. 

 

"That feels so good," I whimper. 

 

"Oh shit!" someone yells from the door. I look up quickly seeing Revi. Oh shit. I feel myself going red with embarassment and quickly got off Axel kneeing him in the groin in the process.

 

"Fucking hell," Axel groans and turns sideways grabbing his groin.

 

"Oh shit sorry!" I stand by the bed looking at him with horrow and of course embarassment. "I didn't mean to knee you in the nuts. Are you okay?" Laughter starts to bubble up my throat but I know this is not a good time for laughter.

 

"I'm okay," Axel grits out. "Want to kiss them better?" He winks.

 

"Asshole!" I call him and hit him with a pillow.

 

"Oh this is too funny," Revi laughs. I can't help but laugh with her.

 

"Hey stop laughing at my poor boys," Axel yells trying to sound serious which made us laugh even harder.

 

I jump back on the bed and spoon him and place my cheek against his. "Babe I'm really sorry," I apologise with a smile. He turns his head and kisses me. "You're forgiven."

 

"Uh guys, please you're not alone in the room. Save your hanky panky for when you're alone," Revi jokes.

 

"We were until you barged in," Axels mutters making me laugh. 

 

"Okay you gotta go. Its already way past curfew," I tell him.

 

"I'll call you later," he kisses me one last time before getting off the bed. 

 

"Bye," I wave as he walks out. I turn to see Revi grinning at me. 

 

"Hoe," she calls me.

 

"Oh shut up," I flip her off and we both laugh.

 

"I can't believe you kneed him in the balls."

 

"It was an accident," I roll my eyes. "So how was Rhett?" I ask changing the subject.

 

"He was awesome," she sighs happily. "I think I'm in love with him."

 

This is what I was afraid of. I don't want my best friend to be heartbroken when we have to leave.

 

"I think I'm in love with Axel," I tell her. We both just sit there silently."I think I want to break up with Axel."

 

I hear her gasp. "Wait, what? You want to break up with Axel?" She asks with confusion.

 

I am about to answer when the opens showing Axel. 

 

"Hey," I smile at him but he doesn't smile back. In fact his face looks cold. 

 

"I dropped my phone," he says clippingly. I look to the other side of the bed and see his phone. I grab it and hand it over to him. "Here you go," I say cheerily. He takes it and says thanks and then turn and walk to the door. "Bye," I call out. "Yeah bye," he says without turning around. He walks out and closes the door behind him.

 

"Okay that was weird," I turn to Revi with confusion clearly written all over my face. 

 

"Yeah," Revi nods. "Anyway, you want to go have lunch in town tomorrow?" She asks.

 

"Yeah sure," I answer her but mind was still on what just happened with Axel. I felt something in my gut saying something was wrong but I don't know what it was. I decide to text him to check.

 

Lani: babe, are you okay?

Axel: yeah

 

He replies and that was it. Maybe I'm just being pessimist. Ugh. I take out my sketchbook and draw my stress away.

 

"So are you serious about breaking up with him?" Revi asks. "No," I reply. I really mean it too. I'll just let fate take its course.

 

 

Chapter 13

"Lani, get up! We slept through breakfast," Revi shakes me awake.

 

"Okay, okay," I slap her hands away from me.

 

"So how are going to get to town?" I ask Revi as I put on my shoes.

 

"We're going to catch the bus," she grins as she grabs her bag. 

 

"Do you even know which bus to take?"

 

"Duh, I looked it up. And we need to hurry before we miss our bus," she walks to the door. I grab my purse and follow her out. 

 

"Let's hope we don't get on the wrong one."

 

"Don't worry dude. We'll be all good." 

 

It took us 20 minutes to walk to the bus stop. If only we could borrow a car. We wait another 5 minutes for the bus to arrive. We climb on and pay our fares. There are no other passengers on the bus except us. So we took the seats near the back. 

 

"You know, I kinda feel guilty for going to town on a Sunday. Maybe we should look for a church along the way to attend?" I tell Revi. "Yeah good idea. But after we have lunch," she points on her finger to make a point. "Of course," I chuckle. 

 

I take out my phone to check the time and realise that I didn't receive a goodmorning text from Axel. I wonder if I should text him instead. Yeah I should invite him for lunch.

 

Lani: Morning sunshine! x

Lani: Want to do lunch today?

Axel: Sorry I'm doing something with Rhett 

Lani: Okay that's fine. Have fun! x

 

The bus ride was 20 minutes. I almost fell asleep on the way. We get off at our stop and I follow Revi to 'Becca's Diner'. Apparently she's been here before with Rhett.

 

I follow Revi inside and my nose was suddenly ambushed by the wonderful smell of food. I sigh. Heaven! We found a table and sat down. The waitress came over and placed the menus in front of us.

 

"Here are your menus. I'll be back in a few to get your orders,"she smiles. It was a genuine smile.

 

I smile back at her, "Thanks."

 

"What are you ordering?" I ask Revi. "I think I'm going to get the fettuccini. You?"

 

"I'm leaning towards the double bacon burger," I say.

 

The waitress returned and asks for our order.

 

"I'll have the double bacon burger with fries and a chocolate milkshake please. Revi, fettuccini for you still?"

 

"Yeah and orange juice please." The waitress takes our order and takes off.

 

We talk about the school talent show that's going to be held in two weeks and make plans to sign up for it as a duet. It's a great idea. Our food came soon after and it was amazing. I had foodgasm in my mouth. The burger was delicious. 

 

I was taking a bite out of my burger when Revi says she invited Rhett to join us. I shrug and thought maybe he'll bring Axel along with him.  Our booth is kind of hidden from the front but I can see everyone that comes through the door. I look up when Rhett came in. I smile and wave him over to our table. 

 

"Hey Rhett," I greet him.

 

"Hey Lani," Rhett sits down and scooted closer to Revi. He pulls her in for a kiss, "Hey babe". Revi blushes. Aww they're so darn cute.

 

"So did you come with Axel?" I ask Rhett.

 

"No," he shakes his head with a slight frown, "haven't seen him today."

 

"Oh," I frown at his reply. 

 

Axel lied to me. He actually lied to me. Why? 

 

I shake off my thoughts as I feel a small pain in my chest. Rhett ordered only a drink claiming he had a big breakfast. We finish our food and we chatted about school and Revi brought up our duet for the talent show.

 

"That's a great idea. You guys are awesome together," Rhett tells us.

 

"Yeah.." I didn't finish what I was about to say because every thought flew out of my head and I feel my chest compressing. A couple just came in. The girl was clinging onto the guy's arm. They stop to look for a table I think. Suddenly, the girl tip toed and pulled the guy's face down for a kiss. I felt my heart shatter right there and then. 

 

"Lani are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost," Rhett asks with concern. 

 

No Rhett. I just saw my freaken boyfriend make out with his ex! I want to shout.

 

"Did you drive?" I ask him.

 

"Yeah," he asks still with concern. 

 

"Sorry guys but I don't feel so good. Do you mind dropping me off back at the compound and you guys can go have some alone time?" I ask. I can practically hear my heart falling to pieces. I want to cry but I feel numb. 

 

"Yeah let's go. I'll pay for your lunch," he says as he pulls out two twenty dollar notes. "Dude, you don't have to," I argue. "No, my treat for today," He insists. "Thanks," I smile. Or at least I think it was a smile. Feels more like a grimace. I look up and didn't see Axel and Britney. I guess they found a table. 

 

Rhett walk out first and Revi and I followed behind him. 

 

"Hey Rhett! What're you doing here?" I heard Axel's voice and I force my face to stay blank.

 

Rhett turned to Axel's table and froze. His eyes widen and look at me with realization of why I suddenly need to leave. I see his face tense with anger as he answers, "I'm here with my girls." He turns and continue walking out and we followed suit. When we pass Axel's table I forced myself not to look at them. And I didn't. But I wouldn't say the same with Revi. I knew she saw when I hear her hiss, "You son of bitch!" I did not want to stay for a confrontation so I practically run outside hoping Revi will follow. 

 

Someone suddenly grabs my arm and turns me around. 

 

"Babe its not what you think," Axel tries explaining.

 

"I don't care. Let go, I have to go," I say flatly. I feel proud about not showing any emotion in my voice because inside I'm dying.

 

"Look I can explain."

 

"No there's nothing to explain."

 

"Why are you angry when you were going to dump me anyway?"he asks furiously.

 

"At least I don't resort to cheating before the break is official. I thought you were different. Well now I know better," I say tonelessly. 

 

"Lani, please..." he didn't finish because Revi pulls me away from him and leads to the car. 

 

"Lani, let me explain," Axel pleads as we get in Rhett's car. He stands by my window trying to get my attention. 

 

I roll down the window and turn to look at him. "I don't want to hear it. Like you said, I was going to dump you anyway. So yeah we're over," for a second there I thought I saw hurt flash in his eyes. I roll the window up again and tell Rhett to drive. As we drive away I knew Axel was still standing there because I can still feel him. 

 

We arrive at the compoundand I get out of the car quickly. Revi wis starting to get out
