THE AFTER PARTY

CHAPTER 3: PARTY

I wake up the next day surprised to have actually slept well today which I found super weird. Opening my eyes, I stretch my arms wide but quickly notice the room quieter than usual "Hm?" I hum to myself and scoot to the side to see if Axel had moved to the floor "Hmmm" I wonder as I realise he wasn't present in the room at all 'That fucker is usually disturbing me with his snores no wonder I slept good' I scoot of the bed happily

"Where are you Ax?" I whisper to myself as I shuffle out to look for him “Morning” I see him immediately on the table eating his food from last night “Mhm” Axel murmurs with his mouth full whilst typing away on his phone “Do you want eggs?” He swallows his food quickly and asks me but I shake my head a bit disgusted by the thought “Nah” “Skye” He says in a warning tone “Okay, not eggs but I’ll have toast and tea” I say groaning and he smiles with a nod

“Ha tea of course cause you’re British and that” He says with the worst British accent and I blink at him confused “Was that supposed to be a joke?" I say with a poker face making him drop his smile "You killed it" He says disappointed and I roll my eyes "Tea isn’t the only thing about British people dummy, in fact where did that stupid myth come from I barely like tea, I'm making hot chocolate instead” I walk towards the kitchen and go to boil water “How can you guys not have kettles here in America? It’s so annoying” I complain and he looks at me weird “I have no idea why you're asking me, I’m not American, I’m Italian and-“ “Spanish” I finish off his sentence already knowing what he was going to say “I know” I state the obvious as he always had to make me aware of his dual nationalities

My head whips around as noises coming from the front door interrupts us "Who's that?" I hear Axel ask as I wait for the noise to go away but soon it opens up revealing "HEYYY" I hear Alyssa scream as she gets back home from her trip and my eyes widen excited as I was not expecting her so soon "Alyssa" I drop what I am doing and help her with her bags to get in "Why is it so cold today?" I hear her say as I also felt of the wind come in too before she shut the door abruptly

"Oh, hey Axel" She says with a smile and sits down on the couch “What did you guys get up to whilst I was gone?” She looks back warming her hands up and I shrug “Not much” I say placing her bag down “I’m going on a business trip with Axel soon” I say excitedly but before she could react, Axel gets up and walks into the bathroom locking it and we both watch him go "What up with him?" She asks me and I shrug looking back at her “Do you notice anything weird about Axel?” She asks in a suspicious tone and I shake my head wanting to know what she meant “Like?” I lean towards her “Hm I don’t know, I knew he’d spend the nights with you but I never realised how long it’d go on for. If it’s disturbing him, I could always do it again” She says genuinely and I smile “I’ll ask him” I nod once

For the rest of the morning, I had made me and Alyssa hot chocolate and we drank it together as I listened to Alyssa's trip fanatics and what she got up to whilst she was there, making me more excited to go to Italy. After a good catch up, I was then off to school thankfully having Axel to drop me because I ran a little past my time talking to Alyssa and just like that with a couple days going past swiftly, finally my exam week was done

“We are going to miss the flight” Axel rushes me as he opens the door to the apartment but I continue to look for my lipgloss "Wait" I look under my bed and spot it and reach over to get it "COMING" I yell and take my bag from my bed. I rush out closing my room door behind me and hurry towards him "Okay, let's go" I say a little out of breath and switch off all the lights "Are you sure you have everything?" He asks me charging his phone on his portable making me think for a second "Nah, I'm pretty sure I have everything" "Okay, let's go" He helps me with my one bag which he really didn't have to carry "You're the one who wanted to take it" I chuckle as I see him lift it to take it down the stairs "I didn't complain, did I?" He says playfully as we exit the building "I guess you didn't" I shrug and get into his car "How long is the drive?" "I dunno, 30-40 mins?" "Really?" "Traffic" He points out and I 'oh'

"Sir" The men bow to me and Axel as we exit his car which was parked right next to a huge plane

I look around expecting to see more planes but it was only the one that stood by itself which looked like a privately owned item "Erm" I turn to Axel and I see him talking to the man and handing him his car keys with a hand shake

"I can carry my own bags" I tell the man that approaches me and as I go to pick my bags, Axel takes it quickly then lifts his bag in his hands looking up to me "I can carry you bags" He states and nods in front of him "Just up the stairs" He indicates to me and I turn my head to look at the expensive plane "Is this a private jet?" I look back nervously and he nods "Yeah, now go up Skye before I carry these and you up myself" He says getting angry at me which I didn't understand but I listened anyway

Once up, I sat in a seat that a lady crew member guided me to "Thanks" I smile at her and timidly take my seat 'If we are flying on a private jet, why was he rushing me so much?' I think to myself as I see the pilots follow Axel on board shaking his hand with a smile

"How long's the flight pilot?" I hear Axel ask him "About 8 hours" He nods to him "Make it shorter, we need to be in Italy quickly" Axel orders and they both nod quickly "Thank you" Axel bows his head and says politely "No problem sir" He then proceeds to take his seat opposite me "Are you scared or something?" He asks looking at me and I shake my head "Then why do you seem so nervous?" He questions me and I shrug looking out the window "Well then, it's gonna be a long flight, so catch some z's" He advises me and I nod "Okay" I croak out and make myself comfortable in my seat

"Skye" I feel someone poking me and my name being called "Skye wake up" My ears adjusted and I now knew it was Axel calling my name "Sk-" Before he could call out for me again, I slowly open my eyes and tense as notice I'm in a random car bringing me flashbacks as it was also dark "What the" I get up scared and my breathing quickens "Help" I call out but Axel quickly calms me down and puts his hands on my face "I'm scared what's going on, where am I?" I breathe out quickly and I see Axel sigh as he probably knew what was going on "Skye, it's okay, that was just a dream we are in Italy now, it okay Skye" He says in a soothing tone and I listen as my breathing slows down

"Ow" I hold my head as I was suddenly feeling dizzy "Where does it hurt?" Axel whispers as he rubs my head for me calming me down

"Where are we?" I look to the side where Axel was stood.

We were outside in the back of car with the door open where Axel was stood and I was still strapped in "How did I get here?" I ask as Axel helps me take off my seatbelt and helps me out "We are at the hotel, and you were fast asleep and I didn't want to wake you up, so I carried you here" He says casually but I get nervous because I didn't know how heavy I was; plus me and Axel had never been that close before soooo

"Okay?" I say a bit weirded out as we walk in 'This place looks insane, wow' I manage to get glimpses but when I look forward again I am met with the lift "This place is really nice" I state and he nods pressing the bell to call for a lift "Who on earth owns this massive hotel?" I say astonished because it could've been another Italian billionaire 'I swear they're all rich' I think to myself as I hear the lift ching "Me. I own this place" He casually says and my jaw drops

"Wait- you? and what about- wow" I stutter out as I was now fully awake "Yeah I know" He says excitedly but then drops his smile and I realise he was being sarcastic "Jerk" I mutter and look away as he killed my mood

"Nice room" I whisper to myself as he takes us up to an ensuite "Wow it's actually massive" I go in deeper and hear him chuckle behind me "Get dressed, we are going clubbing" My eyes widen and turn to him "Right now?" He nods one "But we just got here" I say as I was still a bit tired "The night is still young" He sings and as I am about to argue back the doorbell goes off

"Grazi" He says to the boy outside giving our bags to him "Get dressed" He closes the door and walks over to me "Now" He hands me my bag but I snatch it from him annoyed "You need to stop telling me what to do" I snap at him and he smiles at me amused "Get dressed" He repeats again and I roll my eyes "I hate him" I walk into the room purposely slamming it so he knew how annoyed I was

"See was that so hard, sei bellissima(you look beautiful)" I cross my arms over my chest "You swapped out clothes in my bag didn't you?" I squint at him as I was wearing a white crop top with denim skinny jeans that outlined my shape really well but this wasn't what I packed, actually I didn't pack anything to go out, so how did it get there "Maybe but then again I did say, are you sure you have everything so that was kinda your fault" He chuckles looking at my annoyed face "When did you even find time to take stuff out my bag?" I ask a bit concerned "How did your lipgloss get under the bed?" He questions with wide eyes and my jaw drops truly remembering that my lipgloss was with me as all times

"Pick up you jaw, I said sei bellissima(you look beautiful)" He says and I roll my eyes "Thank you" I reply but not really meaning it "No answer in Italian" He demands with a monotone look "I really hate you, grazie, okay happy" I speak quickly as I was still self conscious about speaking in Italian cause I wasn't good "Very" He nods as I look him down; He didn't even change his outfit that much, just his white tee to a black top, so he was now wearing an all black outfit "Let's go" He pulls me out the room without warning
