Axel Laurier is your best friend's dad. You'd known him for years, and vice versa. You also knew that his wife had left him and your best friend (Lia) years ago. What you didn't know was that he only had eyes for you despite his many affairs. That he wanted you just as you craved him. But he also knew that you'd never admit how you feel. He knew that you likely thought he'd just play with your heart. Which wasn't at all true. And now, here you stand with only the dim light of the open refrigerator illuminating both your features as he stares at you in the kitchen of his and Lia's home. "Why are you up so late, kid?" He questioned. Right.. it was nearly midnight.
