Love Comes With Agony

chapter 23

Axel's POV

After my 'meeting' with Chelsea I went back home... I couldn't focus on anything... My mind still wandered around everything that had happened in my office... The way she smelled, the sweet taste of her lips, the smile, the way she looked when she walked inside my office.... Everything was still so perfect...
"Babe you are back early...!!" Sophia said, bringing me out of my thoughts...
"Yeah I wasn't feeling good..." I said..
"Are you okay?? Are you feeling sick?? Are you nauseous?? See I tell you to sleep at night... A proper goodnight sleep is what you need plus a break from everything... Like take a vacation or something... Or make a short trip to somewhere... You're not a machine... Your body needs a break..." She started rambling.. I liked this about her.. she was always very concerned about my health...
"Guess you are right next week we will go..." I said, I honestly felt I needed a break... A short trip... Moreover a break would help me to sort things out... I had to set my priorities... I had to get things straight.. everything was just so messed up...
"Really thank God now you are listening to me... By the way where will you go?" Sophia asked getting all excited..
"I don't know let's see... But wherever I go I will probably go alone... I need some time alone..." I said, sophia's face fell... All her excitement vanished in a flash... "But don't worry we will go on a vacation.. but this one I need to go alone.. I need to sort things out... I am sorry babe... Please understand..." I said again...
"Hey that's okay... Go alone... We will go next time..." She said and gave a quick peck on my cheek and went to the kitchen... I knew she was crestfallen...
"Soph... Babe..." I went behind her... I hugged her from the back and placed my head on her shoulders... "I am sorry please..." I said
She turned and faced me... " It's okay I understand don't worry.. I love you okay now go freshen up we will go out for dinner... And today's dinner is on me.." she gave me a smile.. a genuine one... I was happy that she understood... I went upstairs to take a shower... I needed one very badly...
I entered the shower and today's incident just flooded back to my mind... I enjoyed every second of it... God I missed her... She was everything I look for in a girl... She was intelligent, she was kind and gentle... She never looked down on anybody.. for her every human being was equal... She always found the good in people no matter how bad and cruel they are... She loved everybody and everybody loved her.. she knew how to cheer me up... She believed in people even more than they believed in themselves... She treated everybody with kindness... Loyalty ran in her veins... Family was her first priority... She would do anything to protect the people she loved... Above all she never gave up... She never believed in quitting... To top all off she was gorgeous and smokin hot... She was like one of a kind... I admired everything about her...
I got dressed and went out to get dinner... The restaurant we went to served amazing food... Sophia kept talking about her day but the whole time my mind was occupied by her...
