ADDISON
It had been three freaking days already since not just me but even my brain had gone radio silent, I just couldn't come up with any ideas at all. I used to have a thousand ideas packed and locked in my brain but now nothing, I looked down to see the heaps of crumpled papers that littered the floor. It was everywhere any way I would fix that later but now I had to keep thinking. I wanted to design a male suit, but it would be something different from my other designs, typically I had always designed female clothes but this time around for some weird reason I wanted to, and my resolve was strong. I wanted something new, that would strike my customers and fans, something that would leave people speechless before the year runs out. I was already running late, normally by this time I would have dropped a new design and new clothing but time had flown so fast, it was no November and I had to finish this design as soon as possible, I couldn't afford to break my streak.
I had to stay focused, but one person in particular kept invading my quiet, unorganized space in my head for some weird reason I kept thinking about him, in fact it was getting so intense, I felt like anytime I closed my eyes I could perceive him, I could smell him and he wasn't even close to me. As a matter of fact he hadn't contacted me at all for three days now. He was going strictly by the rules, he didn't contact me unless there was an event or photo he needed me or I needed him for. That was supposed to be what I wanted right? But it was just weird. I just wanted to see him. Most times I would walk aimlessly around the building just to see if he would come outside or I would bump into him. Oh god, Was I having a crush on Axel? A man I barely knew, he didn't even have any social media I could check, aside his networth and his company there was barely anything else out there about him, no family, no friends, no relations who lived like that? With absolutely no one to lean on. I had a family, not like they were the best but at least they were there and I had my brother and my siblings so it wasn't that bad, I mean it was but not as bad as whatever Axel was going through.
The door bell rang, it had to be Jules, She had told me she was going to get something and then come back for a sleepover, it was her own way of comforting me I guess and truth be told, I needed her here, I just needed someone here, maybe being around her for a while could draw in some inspiration or what about I got a man that could model for me maybe I could get some inspiration, If I talked to my manager philip he would probably help, I mean he is also my friend first right? so he wouldn't refuse me or-
The door bell rang again pulling me away from my thoughts, "Oh jules, chill I coming," I stood up from my chair, my shorts clinging to my things form how long I had been sitting, I grab the remote to door, I swiped open unlocking the door, from a distance. I didn't even have to go all the way there, that's why I loved this house. It always had its way of fueling my laziness and making life a whole lot better.
I turned around to drop the remote back of its stand, striding over to my chair again to drop it and continue wallowing in empty, soulless sketching. "Hope you brought coffee, girl? Because I still don't have any reasonable ideas, It seems like the art is leaving the artist" I joked in a dramatic tone trying to soothe my own grief. I expected Jules to laugh, but I didn't hear the typical hyena cackles. Instead at the click of the door, the hair on the back of my neck rose, but not in a terrifying, scary way but a way that felt good and familiar.
God that scent, I inhaled the scent covering me like a warm blanket, I turned around to meet his eyes, cold and warm at the same time, staring deep into my soul, his eyes traveled down each part of my skin from head to toe, briefly dropping that my shorts, I pulled my leaves closer together shyly, and he looked back up instantly, back to my face. I washed off the blush almost immediately. "Sorry, I thought it was Jules, what are you doing here? Do you need me for anything even today?"
"You should be careful who you let into your house, Addison. You could have checked before opening up." He scolded with a slight frown, completely ignoring my questions.
"Okay!" I sighed, " I would be careful next time, no need to scold me besides, I thought it was Jules and typically no one comes here except her."
I replied but noticed his attention was now completely somewhere else, the floor, the rug, the carpets were completely covered with rumpled paper, everywhere was filled with junk. Oh god, the time he comes to my house and everywhere is a complete mess, what must he be thinking of me? I thought my eyes were trailing his face, although it was stern, I could tell he wasn't pleased with all that. I mean no one would be pleased with a room this scattered.
"I know it looks bad, and I am going to fix it right away" I said going to fetch the vacuum cleaner "You know, you shouldn't start thinning this is what my room looks like everyday, It's just today, I had a very bad day, and I was losing track of what I was doing." I chuckled trying to sound funny but clearly he wasn't amused by it, he only nodded, steeping closer to me. My breath hitched. His scent was getting stronger, with every step he took stood me it was getting harder to breathe without every breath being filled with him. I tilted my head higher, trying to maintain eye contact, but this man was so tall it was hard to do without causing my neck to ache. He moved even closer, his feet against mine, my breasts slightly grazing his firm, hard, chiseled chest. I hope he didn't feel how hard my nipples were already from him just merely coming close to me. What was wrong with me?
His gaze dropped down on my face, scanning every feature, striding down to my lips. 'Oh gosh, was he going to kiss me, wasn't it too early for that? Should I stop him or let him continue?' Just when I was about to raise my head a little higher, he wrapped his hand around mine, taking the vacuum cleaner from me. The heat from his hands sent waves of what I couldn't explain all over me. 'What the hell? If he only wanted to take the vacuum on earth did he have to do all that? He knew exactly what he was doing? Such a jerk' I huffed silently, I could swear no one could have heard that at all, but it felt like he did as he slightly turned his head towards me. How was he able to hear something that low?
