"It's Ash drama, we really don't need to be talking about it at all" I tell Todd, who was eager to hear every bit of what was going on. I on the other hand just wanted to forget everything.

"Are you guys still together? That's all I wanna know" Todd asks slowly, coming to sit beside with some bags in his hand.

I thought about it for a sec before replying.

"Yeah we are, we just haven't talked about what's going on. I know we need to have a proper conversation but I don't know when. I'm clearly still upset right now" I babble on.

"That's totally understandable but don't leave it for too long. Well unless you really want him to think he's lost you then go for it" Todd tells me, laughing.

"Right now I don't know what I want. He was with girls the other night and I trust him and all its jus---"

"---you don't trust them. Girl, same! You have a legit right to be upset. I'd be very upset if my man was away from me and hanging out with other chicks. So mad" Todd chips in, cutting me right off.

I nodded and laid back, thinking about everything. I didn't wanna think too much about that girl thing but I can't ignore it any longer. Maybe that's the reason why he wants to stay away longer. Maybe he's found someone else.

"Let's go, I'm dropping you home. And don't think too much darling, its gonna be okay. Trust me" Todd says reassuringly, pulling me up and draping his arm around me as we leave his house. Turns out we only came here to pick up the things he had for me.

"Thanks for always being there for me Toddy. I'm blessed to have a friend like you" I say as I unlock the front door, leading us inside.

"Aw! I'm gonna turn into mush. Stop! You're too cute" Todd squeals, hugging me extra tight.

I laugh as I drop all the bags on the couch before heading into the kitchen to get something to drink.

"Are you staying for dinner?" I ask Todd, who was busy taking his own little tour of the place. Peering through every door and examining the windows.

"No, darling but I'll come get you tomorrow morning if you like" He answers, swinging his keys on his finger.

I hand him a diet coke and we make our way back into the living room, each taking a couch each to sit.

"I love how you've decorated the place. It's lovely" Todd comments, smiling at the setup of the living room. It's carpet matching the curtains and the furniture.

"Wow, thank you. Means a lot coming from you" I answer, loving the compliment.

Just as we were enjoying our drinks and engrossed in light chitter-chatter, I heard someone at the door. Todd and I both turned to see who it was-- the person letting them self in.

I roll my eyes and turn back soon as I see the biker helmet and the black.

"Oh, it's just you" I say unenthusiastically, placing my can on the coffee table infront of me.

"Hello darling, I'm home" Axel greets me, strutting towards me with a smirk. He brushes his hair back with one hand, helmet in the other.

"Why, hello there" Todd greets him, a flush of pink covers his cheeks.

You have got to be kidding me.

"Ah, I see we have company. Good to see you mate" Axel greets a giddy Todd, giving his hand a gentle shake. Todd releases his hand and places it over his chest, mouthing a "wow" right to my face.

I give him a chuckle and shake my head.

"Don't go there, Todd" I mutter under my breath. "Please don't."

"What you wanna have for dinner? I can cook for us" Axel asks, sitting on the arm of the couch and looking down at me.

"Oh no, Todd's not staying for dinner so I guess we can get pizza or something. You know, since it's just us" I reply with half a smile.

"Alright, sounds good to me. I'm gonna go shower now, be back in a tick" He tells us, excusing himself from the room. I don't react to him at all, not even giving a response. Todd though, can't seem to sit still. He was on the edge of his seat, taking a long sip of his coke. He looked flushed. Soon as the door to the bathroom was shut, Todd hopped over to my side excitedly.

"He looks absolutely delicious with that new haircut. How are you not all over that porcelain goodness?" He exclaims, clasping a hand in mine with a little squeeze.

"What? Axel?! No way. I'm with Ash, remember?" I answer, beginning to laugh at the thought.

"Honey, this man is here waiting on you hand and foot, practically offering himself to you and he's in there, stripping down, alone. Kaia I don't know how you do it. I wouldn't be able to" Todd gushes, fanning his face with a hand dramatically.

"You're being silly" I simply say, getting up and making my way to drop my can in the bin. Todd follows me behind, rolling his eyes at me in annoyance.

"I'm so not. I can tell he's single too. I hope he's ready to mingle though" Todd giggles with flushed cheeks by the kitchen counter.

"Keep your mouth down he's just in there. You're no different than Danielle, you know that" I half shouted at him, shaking my head.

"I really wanna stay but I kinda have to go now. Text me tomorrow, okay?" Todd announces, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek before making his way out.

"Bye! And thank you for the gifts" I say just as he reaches the front door.

He smiles and exits, leaving me alone again.

Well.... alone with Axel.
