ONE HOUR LATER***
Melanie had almost gotten home when she saw Ace opposite her. She rolled her eyes and tried to enter the gate but Ace quickly rushed to her, holding her by the arm.
She jerked her arm away from him and threw an angry stare at him.
“What do you want from me?” She questioned.
“I’m sorry. I know you’re mad at me but when I say I’m sorry, I mean it truly” Ace said.
“Sorry, you say? Do you know why I find it hard to forgive you? Because after the day I caught you cheating on me, you still went ahead and continued. You weren’t even remorseful, we broke up yet you still had the gut to Füçk her??”
“If I hadn’t possibly moved on then you wouldn’t be here begging for my forgiveness. It’s too late, Ace. I’ll never get back to a guy that doesn’t have a respect for me” Melanie spat angrily.
Ace removed his hand and it slipped to his side slowly.
She was right. She doesn’t deserve his forgiveness at all, he deserves every single attitude she was giving up, even more!
“I gave you my virginity, Ace. That was because I loved you, I trusted you, Ace. I loved you with everything in me but you broke me, you broke me without repair. You never cared about me, you even went ahead and Füçked my best friend!”
“I can never make the mistake of going back to you, Ace. Never! You misused your chance already, Ace” she shook her head and entered the house.
Ace punched the air angrily, his eyes so red right now.
Truth be told, he never loved her at first. His goal was to play her but in the process, he found himself swimming in the ocean of love.

MELANIE’S APARTMENT***
Axel stood under the shower for a very long time, he was still dressed and his clothes were soaked badly.
He couldn’t get his mind off her, the scene at the kitchen kept replaying on his head and all he wanted at that moment was to see her.
“I’m going insane,” he whispered, letting the shower to drown him.
After a while, he stripped himself and wrapped a towel around his waist before leaving the bathroom.
He was still putting on his short when he heard the sound of the door opening, signifying Melanie had just returned.
He quickly rushed out of the room to see her just in time getting to her door which was opposite his.
Their eyes met and they stared at each other for a long while, none of them breaking the eye contact.
Melanie’s eyes went to his chest and it widened when she saw his abs, his biceps which was enough to drive a girl crazy.
His chest was broad and there were visible droplets of water in it, signifying he just had his bath.
She swallowed hard as she already imagined herself running her fingers on it, while kissing him madly.
“Do I look that hot?” His voice broke her out of her reverie.
She looked away and bit her lips in embarrassment. She couldn’t believe she was beginning to have some dirty thought just by staring at his chest.
“Tch! Keep dreaming!” She rolled her eyes and turned to leave.
Axel stretched his hand and dragged her to him, her chest slammed hard on his own and Melanie’s eyes almost popped out of its socket.
Her eyes was still wide in shock, his hand were resting above her a*s, and her hands were on his chest she was dying to touch right now.
Axel’s hand moved to her back and started soothing it slowly.
“You look pissed, are you okay?” He asked softly. His eyes were peering into hers.
Melanie didn’t reply as her eyes was fixed on his chest. Slowly, her hands started moving against her own accord, rubbing his chest slowly.
“What are you doing?” Axel asked.
“Huh?”
As if being burned with a hot object, Melanie quickly moved out of his hold and turned to the door.
Having forgotten that the door was locked, she rushed to it and her head met with the door hardly.
“Ahh!!!” She staggered and fell right on the bad boy’s chest.
His hand was around her waist, holding her protectively.
“Are you okay?” He asked in a voice which sounded melodious to her ears.
“I’m…. I’m fine” she stuttered, moving out of his hold.
She stared up at him and quickly averted her gaze, clearing her throat awkwardly.
“I think… I should go,, yea” she laughed.
‘Gawd, what am I doing?” She questioned herself inwardly.
Axel watched her, his lips curved up in a low smile and he poke her forehead gently.
“Ahh!” Melanie glared at him, rubbing her forehead with a pout.
“Stop being cute and go to your room” he chuckled.
Just by seeing him smiling, a smile left her lips too.
“Are you okay? Has your Dad called?” She asked.
Axel’s countenance changed and his gaze hardened. He quickly looked away.
“You shouldn’t worry” he muttered and went to him room immediately.
“Is he fine?” Melanie wondered. It was now clear to her that she was beginning to care for him than before.
****
Axel entered his room and stared at his phone. He reread the message his Father sent to him a while ago and he scoffed.
“Freezing my account won’t make me get married to that bìtch” he said to himself.
“So low” he shook his head and wore a shirt.

THE NEXT DAY~MONASH UNIVERSITY***
Melanie didn’t failed to notice the weird stares on her as she made her way to the school.
This wasn’t a stare of admiration, rather it was a stare of disgust.
? Can’t believe her right now
? I actually thought she was a saint, turns out it was all a facade
? She acted like she was his girlfriend, not knowing she’s just a s*x toy.
Melanie stopped on her tracks immediately she heard that. She turned to the girl who uttered the last word and began walking towards her.
“What did you just say?” She asked slowly.
“I called you a s*x toy, so what?” The girl fired. Her friends quickly joined her.
Melanie raised her hand and hit the girl on the face hard.
Almost immediately, a slap landed on her face from one of the girl’s friend.
“Who do you think you are?” The one who hit Melanie said angrily.
“Of course she’s nothing but a sëx toy to Axel. Can’t believe she stooped so low as to living with Axel”
? Gosh, she’s so desperate.
? Axel is only going to Füçk her and then dump her
? She’s just a fool
On hearing that, a sob wrenched out of Melanie’s throat and big tears started rolling down her cheeks.
“Stop! Stop!” She screamed, crying hard.
“Go away, you slut! Your life is gonna be a living hell in this school, trust me” A girl pushed her away.
Expecting to fall on the harsh ground, rather she fell on a hard chest…. The chest she would recognized anywhere she is.
His hand was around her waist protectively and the familiar cologne of his, hit her nose immediately.
“Axel,” she whispered, sniffing her tears in.
“Touch a strand of my girlfriend’s hair and then face my wrath” Axel said in a cold voice, staring at the girls with nothing but anger in his eyes.
The girls gasped immediately. Did he just said girlfriend???
