Chereads / She's An Ice Storm / Chapter 14 - Chapter 12

Chapter 14 - Chapter 12

I woke up feeling like crap and to the sound of what I think is a camera clicking. I tried moving but I think I was tangled in the sheets so you could imagine my surprise when I opened my eyes and saw that it was not sheets but Axel.

Our legs were tangled together and we were cuddling. CUDDLING! I shoved Axel away but he just wasn't letting me go. It wasn't until I heard laughing that I noticed Alejandro was in the room, he was clicking pictures using his phone and started laughing, even more, when he noticed me glaring at him.

"Come help me you imbecile!" I hissed at him but made sure I wasn't being too loud cause I didn't want to wake Axel up.

"I think I'm gonna leave you like that for a while more," he said with a sly grin but then burst out laughing when I tried to get up again.

"Alejandro! I swear to everything I will make sure you're not able to walk for a week!"

"Alright, alright. I'll help you"

"Good and make sure Axel doesn't wake up"

I finally got myself untangled from Axel but just as I was about to get out of the bed he woke up. And he didn't get up normally either he literally shot up like the freaking undertaker and started looking around. Due to Axels sudden, I don't know what to call it, I fell off the bed and landed on my butt.

"What the hell happened? Danielle, why are you on the floor?" He asked in a deep, husky, voice which was clearly his morning voice and looked at us for an explanation while rubbing the sleep for his eyes.

"Well, Axel-"

I cut Alejandro off and said

"Nothing happened and I'm on the floor because it's um..... Comfy?"

"Uhuh, cool. Alex, you're explaining later and Danielle get off the floor would you?" He said as if I intentionally fell on the floor.

I got off the floor and dusted myself off while Alejandro did something on Axel's phone. I was about to walk out of the room and get some Panadol for my headache but Axel suddenly grabbed me by my shoulders, turned me around, and then shoved his phone screen in my face.

"Jeez, Axel. Can you not?" I took his phone and put it an appropriate distance away from my face then I looked at the screen. At first, I didn't see anything wrong, most likely because I was looking at the time, but then I noticed that his wallpaper was us... I don't even want to say it... Cuddling!

"Alejandro!"

Axel grabbed his phone and unlocked it with his fingerprint then shoved it in my face yet again while saying:

"That's not even the worst part!"

I pushed his arm back so that the light from the phone wouldn't blind me and that's when I saw that his home screen wallpaper was me trying to shove him away and him not letting me go.

I looked at Alejandro with the most murderous look on my face and tried to pounce on him so could strangle him to death but Axel held me back.

"Let.Me.Go! Alejandro if I don't get to kill you now, I will definitely kill you later!" I said while struggling against Axel's grip.

Axel just sighed and started to turn so his back was facing Alejandro which meant I was facing the drawers that used to be behind us.

"Danielle, it's just a picture. Calm down"

I started working on my breathing and when I was calm Axel released me. My headache increased tenfold because of that imbecile Alejandro and when I asked Axel where the Panadol is he looked at me skeptically then asked:

"Why do you want to know?"

"Cause I want to go to Narnia and the only way the closet pathway will open is if I throw a Panadol inside it," I said, my voice heavily laid with sarcasm. My headache was getting worse though so I told him the real reason cause I just wanted to go back to sleep.

"Axel, I have a headache. What do you think I want the freaking Panadol for?"

"Why do you have a headache? And watch your language, Danielle"

"How should I know why I have a headache?!" I asked incredulously "and I haven't heard of a show called your language but I'll look out for it," I said while smirking because I was intentionally being annoying.

"Your sense of humour is the worst first of all and second is the headache because of your asthma?"

"Axel, I doubt that I can get a headache because of asthma"

For the first time since I tried to attack him, Alejandro spoke up

"Actually, Danielle, you can get a headache due to asthma. I just googled it and it said 'migraine-type and tension-type headaches are more common in patients with asthma compared to the overall population. The frequency of migraine-type headaches is higher in patients with asthma who have allergies and low respiratory function test scores"

Axel looked at me with the most triumphant smile so I looked at Alejandro and said.

"Hey. Alejandro"

He looked at me with a bit of confusion clear on his face and said: "yeah?"

"Shut up" I mockingly smiled at him and turned back to Axel but he wasn't there.

"What the hell?" I muttered but before I could leave the room the door swung upon and almost hit me in the face. An old lady around 50 or 60 was standing at the door holding a tray of fresh fruit and three glasses of what I think was orange juice. I smiled at her to find her already looking at me.

"Hi, Maria" Alejandro said from behind me. He reached over my head, took the tray from her, and set it down on the top of the chest of drawers. Before he could take one of the glasses of juice she smacked his hand and demanded that he introduces me to her because I am a guest.

"Trust me, Maria, she is not a guest," said Axel appearing from out of nowhere and walking through the door and straight into his cupboard.

Before I could get a word out of my mouth Alejandro started whining behind me.

"But she's Axel's guest! Why should I have to wait till she's introduced to get a drink"

Axel walked out of his cupboard and started walking towards the chest of drawers. While passing Alejandro he hit the back of his head and said.

"I literally just said she is NOT a guest, dumbass" once he got to the drawers he started rummaging through them looking for something.

I tried to introduce myself to Maria again but was cut off.

"Axel, don't call him names," Maria told him while looking at him disapprovingly.

"Yeah, Axel. Don't call me names" Alejandro said while looking at Axel with a smug smile.

I opened my mouth yet again to try and introduce myself but I was interrupted. Again!

"Alejandro, be quiet," Maria told him while muttering something about not believing he was actually 17.

It was Axel's turn to look smug and when he realised what he was looking for wasn't in the chest of drawers he walked towards the nearest bedside table. I did not notice those yesterday..... I looked back at Maria and I tried to tell her my name but Axel groaned loudly behind me and when I looked back he was clutching onto his hair and walking towards the cupboard. Finally, I thought I could talk but I noticed Alejandro opening his mouth to say something so I shouted

"MY NAME IS DANIELLE!"

Literally, everyone started staring at me. Axel popped his head out from behind the cupboard doorframe and looked at me like something was wrong before walking over to me and putting a hand on my forehead.

"We know that, Danielle. Gosh, this might be worse than a headache. What's my name? How many fingers am I holding up?" He asked while holding two fingers up in front of me.

I rolled my eyes at him and said "I shouted because no one was letting me talk"

He still looked a bit skeptical so I answered his two, stupid, questions. "Your name is dumbass and you're holding up two fingers"

"Maria! She just called me a name!"

"Maria! Danielle just called him a name!

Axel and Alejandro said simultaneously.

She just shrugged and said "I can't say anything if it's the truth"

They gasped and looked at her as if she just told them that she threw away pizza and then started muttering about how she's playing favourites.

"Hi, Danielle. My name is Maria and I help around the house here"

"Nice to meet you, Maria," I said while smiling at her.

"Now you can eat and drink whatever you want, Alejandro. I have to go downstairs and make a call" we said bye to her and thanked her for the food before she left and then we sat down on the bed with the tray in the middle and ate. Actually, we tried to eat.

Axel wanted to make sure that we didn't spill any juice or mess up his bed and he made us repeat after him that we would not mess up his bed. He was treating us like kids and I was very tempted to just knock the tray over so everything would spill. He finally let us start eating and when we did my tastebuds exploded. I would take a tray of fresh fruit over junk food any day.

I realised that every moment I spent without taking the panadol my headache increased so when Axel handed me 2 tablets I was over the moon.

I took them and immediately started to feel the effects. My headache was reducing and I started to feel drowsy so while Axel and Alejandro argued about something that I couldn't bother listening to, I took the tray and put it on the bedside table on the left and lay down. I slept on the same side I slept on the night before and just as I was falling asleep I heard Axel tell Alejandro I was falling asleep and then I heard the AC turn on and the door closing.
