Welcome to Hell Boys ✔

Chapter 17 - Edited Once

He looked sad and had regret in his eyes. He looked too hurt. "Why? What happened?" I asked, wanting him to continue.

"I fell asleep, and because of my irresponsible behavior, we crashed. I was the driver, Ariel! We almost died because of me, but I guess miracles could happen. At that time, three men pulled us from the car and carried us to their vehicles. We were in a miserable state and injured, so I fell unconscious with the rest of the boys.

After four days, we woke up to see ourselves lying on what seemed like hospital beds, yet we weren't in a hospital. We were in a big room. We were so confused until a man came and told us that the boss saved us and that we owe him one until he asks for our help..."

Of course. I'm starting to connect the dots.

"So one year later, now. The boss asked us to kidnap you, and we did because we owed him, and he threatened to kill us, but we have no idea why we kidnapped you. I'm very sorry, Ariel," he apologized, put his hand on my cheek, and rubbed his thump on my cheekbone. I did not move it away, I just leaned closer, and he also leaned closer until we were an inch apart.

His breath smells like Oreos. Why?

"I understand," I whispered sincerely while looking into his green eyes. He looked soft and relieved. When he felt more comfortable, and our lips were about to touch...

"I'm back!" Owen shouted, and we stood up quickly and sat away from each other. Surprised. The door flew open by a drunken, wobbly clumsy, and mood-killer Owen. He had to come right now.

"Heyyyy guys, how was your day?! Mine's awesome. I will sleep now, bye!!" He yelled, then closed the door behind him. I looked at Jaxon, and he looked at me, and we laughed.

"What was that?" I asked.

"No idea," he replied then we fell into a deep silence. Until I broke it with a jump that made Jaxon jump.

"Yes, I know what's the perfect dialogue for your story!" I grabbed his laptop and started typing. Jaxon sat next to me on his king-sized bed and read what I was typing.

"That's pretty good," he thought, then continued reading until I finished typing.

"So, what do you think?" I asked, hoping for the best.

"This is amazing. Yes, I'll use it." Jaxon nodded with a smile and pressed save, then put the laptop down.

"So what do we do now? I'm not sleepy," I asked, playing with my hair. What is wrong with me? I look like a girl around Jaxon... Oh, wait, I am a girl!

"Do you want to swim?" He suggested.

I looked at him with raised eyebrows. "In winter? And there is a pool here? Really?" I asked, amused.

"Yes, it's on the bottom floor, and don't worry, it's like a spa because the water is hot," he cleared, got up, and headed to his wardrobe.

"Okay, but I don't have anything to wear for swimming," I pointed out, then stood beside him.

"You could use my shorts and this top if you want to." He handed me the clothes, and I nodded with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, can I use your bathroom?" I asked.

Where did all this politeness come from? "Go ahead, I'll just change here," He said, and I entered the bathroom.

After five minutes, I got out of the bathroom to see an alluring scene. Jaxon was just in black shorts. He was topless. Those six-packs, God, he will be the death of me! I want to touch them.

"Like what you see?" He smirked, and I smirked back.

"Yes, actually," I replied with total confidence and laughed. He did not expect my answer because his eyes were wide for a second.

"Glad you like it." He grinned when he scanned me from head to toe.

"Like what you see?" I mimicked and put my hands on my hips.

"Yes, very! My shirt looks good on you," Jaxon replied with a smirk. I felt a blush make its way to my cheeks. His shorts reached my above knees and his shirt below them, so the shorts weren't much of a help.

Then I remembered the most important thing ever. "Hey, did you eat any of my Oreos?" I raised my eyebrows and crossed my arms.

"Umm, well..." he stuttered. He did eat them.

As I was about to pounce on him to kill him, he stepped away from me with a nervous smile. "Let's go." He grabbed two towels, and we got out of the room to the Pool.

I will let it slide. This time.
