♥ Chapter 35♥
Axel Knight.
Some months later.
I'll tell you a little about what happened after I proposed to Elara.
We made love for hours in bliss. I truly love this girl; I can't live without her. I could have just asked her to be my girlfriend, but I want to wake up beside her every day, have someone with me during the tough times. I can't be apart from Elara; I've become very dependent on her, her scent, her smile. "I want her by my side forever. I thought long and hard about it and decided to propose to her. Actually, the proposal was supposed to be at sunset on the beach, but that jerk messed everything up."
Our first time together was amazing. I was scared, I admit it, but then I remembered who was with me, not the bad guys, but my Elara. That's why I took a step in our relationship that night, and I loved it. When we returned to Zefinópolis, Thalia, with her eagle eyes, saw the ring on Elara's finger and started yelling that we were engaged.
I was dragged into my boss's office, who is now my father-in-law, and he threatened me, saying that if I ever hurt Elara, I would die. But it's impossible for me to hurt her because that would mean hurting myself in the process. Even Orion was happy with the news, but soon we found out why.
"As soon as Elara moves out, I'm turning her room into a home for my snake."
He said it, and I wonder why I still get surprised by this kid. I'm getting married today at my in-laws' house, where Thalia and Pauline prepared the place. I won't lie, I'm very nervous.
"Axel!" I jump at Yenki's shout.
"What the hell?" He rolls his eyes.
"With Elara, it's love this, love that." I roll my eyes.
"Remember, Elara is still mad at you."
"I already apologized." He says, crossing his arms.
Yenki invited me to a bachelor party. I thought it would be at a bar, drinking with a friend. Oh, how wrong I was.
FLASHBACK.
"Yenki, what were you thinking bringing me to a strip club!?" I shout at him, irritated. "I thought you were taking me for a drink."
"And I am." I give him a serious look. "Come on, Axel, have some fun."
"I am Elarasexual! Why would I be in a place with naked women?" He rolls his eyes.
"To drink, come on Axel, let's go." He grabs my wrist and drags me along.
"If Elara kills me because of you, you're dead."
He scoffs at that.
"Overreacting."
We enter the strip club, and I immediately see the women dancing naked. This establishment doesn't belong to the boss, otherwise, they wouldn't be doing that. He guides me to the bar.
"Two beers, please." He asks the bartender.
"Sure, right away."
I look around and see the guys groping the women.
"Can I kill them?" I whisper to him, making him shake his head.
"Axel, this place doesn't belong to the boss."
"Did you forget that I’m in charge now? If I want this place, I'll take it. Look how these bastards treat the women." I say with disgust, watching these damned old men touch the women.
"I know you can do that, but today is your bachelor party, don't screw it up." I huff at that.
The bartender places our drinks in front of us, and I take a sip of mine.
"So, boss." I roll my eyes. "What's it like to be in love?"
I shake my head with a small smile.
"It's incredible." I smile, thinking of my Elara.
"Have you picked out your suit?" I nod.
"I went shopping with my father-in-law." He laughs. "It's not funny."
"Oh, it is. How was it?"
"Tense and awkward, I didn't know what to choose and didn't want to take too long to avoid bothering him. But later, it was fine. Mr. Dante found a perfect suit for me and then found a pair of dress shoes that match perfectly with the suit."
He nods and takes a sip of his drink. Suddenly, I feel someone beside me. I look and see a woman.
"Hi, can I sit here?" She asks, looking at me.
"You're already sitting." I feel a pinch on my arm. "Ow, damn it." I glare at Yenki.
"Sorry about my friend; he's not very social." He says, smiling slightly at the girl.
Screw it, I'm not obligated to be social.
"It's okay." She smiles. "What's your name?" She asks, looking at me.
I take a deep breath and look at her, already starting to get irritated.
"My name is 'none of your business.' I'm not interested; go find someone else." I say harshly.
The girl looks at me, shocked.
"Axel." Yenki says. "His name is Axel; he's just stressed out."
"Yenki, I have a girlfriend and don't want to talk to anyone." I say, trying to calm down.
"Wow, so your girlfriend must be abusive if she doesn't let you talk to anyone."
I squeeze the bottle with so much force.
"Listen here, girl, my girlfriend is not abusive. I don't want to talk to you."
My bachelor night ended the moment he brought me here.
