I avoided any form of conversation with Axel for the rest of the weekend. In fact, I stared at his message on and off for a half hour on Saturday, struggling to respond. After my message of, "I finally did it," he responded with a simple: Did what? Obviously, in the moment, I meant that I let Sam down easy, but now that I think about it, I could also say that I finally kissed him, but then we'd have to talk about it. At first, I was excited to talk about it to see what the kiss meant for him but the more I think, the more I start to doubt any meaning behind the kiss. I mean, Axel is known for doing stupid things. In his eyes, it could just be seen as him doing me a favor and teaching me how to kiss someone. That's probably how he sees it. And the more I think, the sadder I get.
That kiss
