Blaze's POV

"You have to leave him here!" I ordered again pointing to Austin while Alexa kept on hugging him closer to her. My temper is clearly rising nearly reaching the roof because of her stubbornness. 

Our fights have evolved rapidly from silent storm outs to full blown out face offs. Alexa and I's lives took a turn to the worst. After meeting Austin, I tried to ignore his existence and just be normal with Alexa. I thought that all was fine, good and dandy. We were having fun while Austin was asleep most of the time. He was sick and tired for a whole week. Luca, Chris, Eric , Nina and Elisa never stopped coming and spending time with us. It was fun like a never ending small party with our closest friends.

The monster in Austin awakened , after so. He would cry whenever Alexa or Chris are not by him. He would hardly let go of Alexa. He is always held by her, between her hands. His head is always laying on her chest or in the crook of her neck. He is also allowed to make messes around the house and play with anything and everything. Alexa and Chris just continue on laughing at him and spoiling him. They think everything he does is cute and adorable. The worst thing is I feel invisible when it comes to Alexa; now she has no time to help me plan my ways to seduce other women. She is also too tired at times and just looks sleepy whenever I try to update her with my life. She clearly does not care. Chris also gave up on our bets and games. It was just me now and none of my friends.

"I won't leave Austin alone. It is either me and him or no one." She yelled back her cheeks flushed red from anger. Her usually cool demeanor and warm eyes turning hard and cold. She hates my ways with Austin but why would I accept him...He is not mine...I am not responsible for him...I will never be and I am not obliged to take him with me to my family's day out.

"How will you introduce him ?" I said pointing at the baby who kept on hiding his head in Alexa's neck.

"My son, he is my son." She talked slowly emphasizing each word.

"We are married that will lead them to think that that little monster is mine." I repeated my argument with clear rejection 

"I approve of your games and bets. Your friends know about our planned wedding leading Chris to ask me out" Alexa murmured calmly and I froze. I don't know why but her words struck me deep and I was waiting for what will come next. Some kind of pain struck my heart and I remembered the moments where Chris decided to sit close to Alexa. He was glued to her side also. He spoiled Austin, played with him and Alexa whenever he was here. Alexa calls him over daily and asks him to help with Austin. Knowing that I hate that baby, she would never bother me with him. I was just a mere watcher. I would come home and find her awing at a sleeping chris holding a sleeping Austin. My body turns rigid as soon as I see how she admires him. I hate how her eyes shine brighter when Chris is near. " I refused to go on a second date with him, out of respect for you." she continued and suddenly all my anger washed away. I felt a sudden kind of lightness erupting in me. An unwanted smile even drew its way on my grim features. 

"I wouldn't have minded" I lied trying to cover up my obvious sudden change of mood "And we are in this mess because of your plan. You started this marriage. This is all you, the drama, the wedding , the baby ...all" I continued on blaming even though I felt slightly bad 

"Finish it, all of this. I gave you the right to file for a divorce ages ago." Alexa said and I saw tears welling in her eyes

"Never, I will never give my gained freedom away. I want to date and be wild. You are my ticket to such life. You are my cover up." I denied her dare feeling angry again. The idea of divorcing her always puts me on the edge. I lose my temper knowing that I will be finishing whatever we have established even though it is merely dramatic and awkward right now.

"Well, you are my ticket to my dreams such as the tattoo , the baby ...My temporary ticket" she added in a venomous way emphasizing the word "temporary"

"Temporary? Till you find a man who take all your craziness ? " I spoke through gritted teeth. The idea of her leaving me for another man was always there. We are not a serious couple. We are not even a couple. We are just friends. We trust each other and are close to one another but I hated Luca for being close to her, then Chris and Eric. Yet she denied any potentials always stopping me from overthinking such slight chance.

"A man who would love me without judging my dreams. A man who would love to taking in Austin as his own just because he is mine. A man who would never make me feel like a burden. A man who would never thinking of me as a ticket to lust and sexual needs " she explained with an air of finality then turned her back to me and started walking away

"Alexa! You would never find such man!" I shouted or denying or ordering I don't know. 

"Challenge accepted" she shouted back and my legs moved on their own marching towards her.

One idea played on my mind; go and prove to her that she won't find another man. I followed her quickening steps. She tried to slam her door and keep me out but I was faster than her. I entered her room as she placed Austin in his crib. Then, she turned to me her face reddening with anger. Her delicate smiley features were now grim and hard. Her lips sealed tightly as keeping her from cursing me. My eyes continued to roam her body and all I could think of was another man seeing her dressed only in one of her large t-shirts. She ditched her pajamas lately and started wearing huge t-shirts. They weren't revealing but cute. They made me wonder if she would fit nicely in one of my shirts. She wore Chris's and that idea pushed my buttons.

"Out" She ordered strictly awakening my unconscious thinking

"This is my house" I said in the calmest tone I can master 

"My room" she replied stubbornly " and clearly you don't want me or my baby, so leave!" 

"Stop being so stubborn and dress up. I would get a girl to babysit him" I demanded taking some slow steps towards her

"None of your bimbos would touch my child. God knows what diseases they have." she said disgustingly 

"Stop being so difficult" I begged 

"Stop being an ass" she fumed 

"You are so damn stubborn" I continued with just one feet separating us

"You are so damn controlling" she mimicked trying to take a step away but my hands caught her waist faster 

"You are so..." I tried to continue but found myself dazed wanting one thing ; to lean in and capture her lips in sweet long lasting kiss ...Why am I wanting this so bad as if I have been deprived from all physical connections for months? Why do I feel an electric shock running through me as if this idea of a kiss is picked of a cheesy movie? 

"Blaze?" Alexa questioned me as my thumb traced her lips. Surprise, shock all were heard in her tone and that made me more excited...I could show her stuff, teach her and wipe her memories clean of kissing any other guy ; Luca. 

"Don't fight it" I said sounding already out of breath and her hands rose to fight me off but I always have the upper hand. I am faster than her and rapidly my lips collided with her sweet strawberry smooth lips. She gasped in surprise parting them a little and I a master of the art of seduction took this as a chance to deepen the newly starting kiss. Alexa didn't fight me off. She just froze. I was about to withdrew from her feeling broken from getting no reaction at all however then her lips started to shyly move along mine making me grumble at her in lust, want and even more...What the hell am I doing ? Am I finally falling ? Am I giving my gained freedom away? How stupid can I be? 

"Get ready both of you." I announced pushing away from her lips and hearing huff made me feel worst. I miss her body being glued to mine, her lips tenderly and shyly following my lead, I miss Alexa even though she steps away...What happened to my brains? 

I am a player forever and always. I just need to find a good bed buddy this night and all lust I feel for Alexa would be over. I just hope she wouldn't make a big deal out of this kiss?
