It was at 7pm I woke up from body ache, I internally cursed myself for sleeping on the floor. I shrug at the image of me passing out from crying too much which unfortunately is new to me.
Audrey honey, Mrs bree our maid called knocking on the door, I tried crawling to the door since my legs and voice was failing me.
Am coming, I internally whispered like she could hear me. Right now, i am in a desperate struggle to get my shit together but, anxiety has gotten the better part of me.
What if I told you I haven't moved from the same spot I woke up from, my legs were stinging from laying too long in the wrong position, my eyes are probably swollen and ugly.
After what felt like forever, I managed to respond to Bree, telling her I will be with her shortly. After that, I fish out my phone to check the notification, seeing that, I had eighteen missed calls and forty-five unread whatsapp messages.
I feel my phone vibrate in my hands and I hit the ignore button, I never pick calls from unknown numbers, don't ask me why.
In the process of getting up, I hissed, staggering and leaning against the bed. The pain was excruciating but gradually reducing, my mind raced back to what James said and, I could almost feel my head exploding with worry.
I don't blame him, am sure Ashley and Nancy will do the same for me if they think am hanging out with the wrong clique of friends but, James cutting me off without no tangible explanation makes the whole "stay away from him" ridiculous.
Feeling better now, I walk into the bathroom to take a quick hot shower since the weather is a bit cold tonight. I look to my wrist and have this sudden urge to get a tattoo done but, what will I write?
Why does it have to be a writing than a drawing? Ace influence is starting to get to me.
Considering the fact that my two bestfriends are the only ones encouraging and shipping Ace and I to be together, I shouldn't let my mind wander in anything that will leave me with a memory that cannot be erased.
I couldn't hate him, it wasn't an option, I have tried that before and it has only made me see him in a different limelight.
I can fix this, I say to myself. All I need to do is ignore him and shut my friends up whenever they talk about him.
James was partly right but wrong when he said I don't deserve him, cause from the look of things, Ace doesn't deserve me.
With the new found inspiration in me, I dry my body and walk back into the room, throwing my towel to the floor and quickly throw on a shirt that reaches mid thigh before putting my g-string pants on.
I didn't bother to switch on the light because the full moon was shinning brightly into the room. Now that my school problems has been resolved, I decided to head down for dinner, I suppose that is the reason Bree came to get me but first, I need to grab my phone.
Turning around, i screamed my lungs out when I found Ace seating on my bed, playing with my phone.
Ace , what are you doing here?
Hey give me back my phone, i said stretching to grab it from him until I fell on top of him, he held me down, not ready to let go.
Is it the phone you are bothered about or the fact that you dressed in front of me he said in the husky voice am madly in love with.
My eyes widened in surprise and I slap my hand to his mouth blocking him from saying more but, he licked my palm wet.
Ace, eeeewwww, stop I said blushing and hiding my face in his chest before I remembered I was supposed to be mad at him.
His fingers brushed against my exposed thigh, causing me to shift, although he seem so engrossed in fondling me yet he grumbled and kept me in place when I wouldn't stop brushing his front part.
Why are you with Estella I ask him, cringing at myself for sounding so jealous, been blunt as become a bad habit of mine, my friends will sometimes ask me why am inappropriately blunt, the answer is always the same, I don't know.
The silent treatment told me he was having a debate in his head. Especially when he scowled and looked to the ceiling like the answers I seek was written above me.
He pulled me down so close our lips was almost touching and said aren't you interested in knowing how I got in here?
Nice way to change the topic, unfortunately, my brain doesn't seem to function well Especially when a blue eyes boy keeps causing it to malfunction.
I gave him an apologetic look that only made him laugh out loud, and I guess he said that to tease me since he knows am not only an overthinker but am also smartly cautious.
He pinched my butt, twice.
Ouch, stop doing that it hurts.
"Are you sure?"
About what Ace?
Are you sure you want me to stop touching you he asked cautiously, rubbing my butt in circular motion.
I gave him a sheepish smile, if its going to hurt, yes I said pinching him so I could take the opportunity to get up but he just took a deep breathe and continued to examine my face.
I promise i will go soft on you Audrey.
I was looking at him, not wanting to read a meaning to whatever he just said, gesturing to the place I pinched him and, he was like, oh that, it's nothing compared to what I have experienced.
Finally, he let me go.
I will be back I said to him as I turned in the direction of the door before stealing a glance at him one more time and, I felt my heart warm up in peace.
