“I lost track of time.” Blaze doesn’t sound apologetic. His voice is stiff.
“What?” I ask.
The four have moved closer to me until they’re all bumping into me.
This is starting to feel like a showdown, which is ridiculous. Blaze isn’t the enemy no matter how shitty this made me feel.
Blaze let me down tonight, that doesn’t mean he won’t make up for it.
“No, you didn’t. Try again,” Aksel says. His voice is dangerously low.
He’s lying? What is going on right now?
“I’m not talking about this anymore. Anna, let me apologize to you.”
“Go ahead then,” Griffyn says.
Blaze grinds his teeth. “Privately.”
I try to take a step forward but Aksel turns around and cups my face.
“If he upsets you then I will-”
“No threats, Aksel.” I lean up and press a kiss on his cheek.
I do love his protectiveness. He doesn’t need to aim it at Blaze, though.
I move into the kitchen with Blaze and lean against the counter before looking at him.
He looks tired and a little haggard.
“What happened, Blaze?”
“I messed up, Spark. I’m sorry. Please give me another chance to make it up to you,” Blaze begs.
I have such a soft spot for Blaze considering how hard it is for him to be in a relationship and deal with all the constant communication required.
I don’t want to push him too far and that’s why I decide to let this go and give him another chance.
“Don’t miss the next one, okay?”
Blaze sighs. “I promise.”
I move forward and wrap my arms around his middle for a hug. I’m shocked when his entire body locks up and he hisses.
“What’s wrong?” I ask.
“Nothing.” He steps back from me.
Is he pushing me away right now?
He hissed. Did I hurt him?
“Blaze, I’m worried about you. Something is going on,” I say.
He shakes his head no but doesn’t meet my eyes.
I push boundaries and use my speed to lift his shirt before he can stop me.
