“Nobody will know” said the little devil on his shoulder. “You need the money and he has plenty to spare. Professional grade hockey sticks don’t come cheap and they don’t grow on trees either. Besides, you just found it, it’s not like you set out to take it. Drop the wallet in the bushes near the parking lot and no one will ever know it was you. ”

Axel has ignored the excited chatter in the center for days in his panic over his missing billfold. Lottery, shmottery. The 5000 Euros in cash for the private investigator are missing!

Awesome! I love the dual thought processes here. Poor Axel!

Nice job! When did I turn into a dirty Axel supporter?? *cuddles him and his panic*

“But I won the tickets in a lottery, and besides, you seemed to enjoy yourself last time.”

“I did, beautiful city and all that, it's just that it's the ONLY place I ever went in the past five years. All the others get to go to Thailand and New York and Australia, just for me it's always Barcelona again. Either that or Obersdorf.

Deniz had never been able to resist Roman's pouting duckling expression. He gently nuzzled his lover's face and planted a kiss on his lips. “Baby, you know I'll put the world at your feet.”

Awww boys. Trade it in for tickets to the Maldives! Before they sink, you know.

It was known more generally as The Grin but…

Deniz calls it the smuggest-bastard-ever-grin: said with a pout.

Flo calls it a mac-daddy-grin although it’s acknowledged that no one under eighteen knows what he means.

Simone quietly calls it his orgasm-grin and everyone pretends they didn’t hear her.

Jenny calls the grin, witnessed in the tabloid press, something that made the Russian translator gape and refuse to translate.

Everyone has a name for the smile permanently affixed to Axel’s face the day he won the lottery but then, every religion has his own myth for how the world will end.

The end of the world is near! We are all going to die. Eventually.

Axel`s grin can make the sun go out. Or on. LOL
I'm turning into a fangirl right now, because of this lovely funny piece.

Hahahaaah, oh Christine, this ROCKS! Love the descriptions they all have for his grin (mac-daddy, OMFG I'm old!), and I have to admit I got ridiculously giddy to hear Axel finally had something go right for him. Bless.
