CHAPTER FOURTY
After our time at the beach, everyone walked to the boardwalk to get food, but I made up some excuse that I was feeling sick, so Axel and I walked back to the house.
"Let's see if there's medicine." Axel announced, opening cabinets, making me hold back my laughter.
"I'm not sick, Axel." I smirked, watching him turn around.
"You're not?" He questioned, an eyebrow arched until he understood the situation, a smirk of his own appearing.
He walked over to me, picking me by my thighs, making me squeal as he jogged up the steps.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Axel questioned seriously, setting me down on my feet once we were in our room.
"I'm sure." I replied, my bathing suit top hanging in my hand.
I watched his blue eyes darken, his large hand pulling me back to him, his lips crashing on mine. He brought us into the bathroom without breaking the kiss, turning on the water in the shower.
"You're sure?" He questioned again, his fingers laced with my swim suit bottoms.
"Yes." I smiled, finding it adorable that he was being so careful.
Axel kissed my lips, sliding both of our bottoms off, placing us in the shower.
"You have so much sand in your hair." Axel chuckled, pouring a crap ton of shampoo on my head.
"Axel!" I yelled, his laughter filling the bathroom as the glob of shampoo slid down my head.
After our shower, we dried off, Axel not wasting anytime in picking me up, laying me on the bed.
His lips met mine, trailing down my neck, making me moan.
"You really want to do this?" Axel questioned, his electrifying blue eyes looking over my flushed face.
I nodded flipping us over. "I really want to do this."

The sound of birds chirping and sunlight pouring through the window made me open my eyes, a smile stretching on my face as I remembered the events from last night.
My cheeks burned thinking about how intense it was. Axel made sure he was careful which was sweet, but it was still full of passion and sensual.
I turned around in Axel's grip, his mouth slightly was open with strings of his black hair hanging over his forehead.
He was so handsome.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." I laughed, my fingers brushing his hair back.
"Good morning." He smirked, his muscular arm pulling my naked body closer to his. "How are you feeling?"
"Fantastic." I grinned, crawling on top of him.
"Oktober are you feeling better!?" Imogen yelled, banging on the door before walking in.
"Oh." She smirked and I groaned, burying my face in Axel's neck. "Looks like you are feeling better."
"Get out Imogen!" I yelled trying to be serious, but ended up laughing instead, it was typical her.
"Get dressed, we're going out for breakfast!" She sang, closing the door on her way out.
"That wasn't awkward." Axel chuckled, his hands brushing the loose strands of my hair behind my ear.
"With Imogen, it never is." I said, rolling off of him. "What do you say about another shower?"
_
"Ooooo there's a funland! Babe can we please go to the funland?" Imogen begged Chase, pointing toward the area with all the boardwalk rides.
Who knew Imogen was such a kid at heart.
"Sure." Chase chuckled, Imogen practically dragging him.
Axel slung his arm around my shoulders, steering me toward the ticket booth.
"First things first people, bumper cars!" Dean grinned, ushering us toward the track. "Sorry in advance if I give your children whiplash!"
Dean's yelling as we got in our cars earned us several glares from parents.
I snorted, catching Axel looking at me from a few cars across.
He's so going down.
The light turned green and everyone's cars jerked forward, speeding us as we rounded the track. Imogen squealed, barely able to steer the bumper car correctly, making me burst out in laughter as I hit her from the side.
"Oktober you whore!" Imogen groaned, only making me laugh harder.
My car jerked forward aggressively followed by evil chuckles. I turned my head around to see Dean, smirking at me satisfied.
"You're going down Lane!" I yelled, making Dean roll his eyes.
"If you can catch me!" He retorted, speeding away.
I chased after him, catching Archer and Axel bumping each other, using this as my opportunity.
I sped up, running right into the back of him, laughter raking through my body.
"Really babe?" Axel smirked, a shocked look on his face. "Get ready for payback."
"Have to catch me first." I winked, speeding away.
I spotted Chase running into Dean as I approached them, turning the wheels so I ran into the side of Chase's car, catching him off guard.
"O!" Chase yelled, flying into a little kid. "Nice going."
I laughed as I drove away, getting ready to run into Dean when the cars stopped, making me want to throw a fit.
These places are such scams.
"Seriously?" I groaned, shoving the seatbelt off.
"I'm untouchable." Dean bragged, making me roll my eyes.
"You would've been wrecked if I had two more seconds."
A shrieked left my lips as I was hoisted onto someone's shoulder, their arm wrapping around my thighs.
"Let's go on the ferris wheel, Oktober hates those." Axel announced.
"You wouldn't dare!" I gasped, smacking his butt.
"Payback darling."
I could feel the smug look on his face.
"C'mon Arch, let's kiss at the top!" Dean joked in his over dramatic high pitched voice.
"Anything for my honey." Archer replied, making all of us laugh.
Axel set me on my feet, only to lift me up bridal style, forcing me into the cart.
"I hate you." I glared, sitting across from him with my arms crossed like a child.
"You love me." He smirked, grabbing my hands.
Butterflies erupted in my stomach at his words. I felt my heart pick up a few paces and my cheeks burn. He was right. I completely, one hundred percent, loved him.
"I do." I smiled, making his eyes widen.
"Seriously?" He smiled back, his eyes lighting up brighter than I had ever seen them.
"No."
His smile dropping made me burst out laughing, pulling his face to mine, kissing his lips.
"Of course I'm being serious. I love you." I grinned, his award winning smile appearing again.
"Well that's convenient because I love you too." His blue eyes burning into mine, making me laugh. "So fucking much."
I felt my heart swoon as I stared at the man in front of me, feeling nothing but admiration and love for him. I was grateful for our chemistry class together, it being the sole purpose we started talking, and without it, I wouldn't be who I was without him; strong, cared about, and loved.
The feeling of the cart coming to a halt made me jump, looking out the side.
"We're at the top." I was clearly shocked, my nerves already being worked up.
"I think this is the part where we kiss and live happily ever after." Axel teased, and I punched his arm.
"Just because I said I love you doesn't mean I'm not mad at you for forcing me into this death trap." I stated, making him roll his eyes as he brought his lips to mine.
"It wasn't that bad now was it?" Axel smirked as we got closer to the ground, making me blush.
"I suppose not."
