"Common Ace." I pouted like a child as I sat beside him on the bed, and tucked my arms across my chest, frowning slightly at him.
He rolled on the bed lazily, and rubbed his hands against his sleepy eyes. "Mia…" He called amidst a soft yawn. "I'm so tired. Let me sleep for one more hour."
"You want to sleep right?" I cried, and shifted to the corner of the bed. "Fine. I'll leave you here."
I was about to stand up when he held my hands and pulled me back to him, causing me to gasp and fall on his chest.
"Where are you going kitten?" He teased, forming a smile by the corner of his attractive lips.
I continued to frown, and averted from staring into his eyes. "I told you to get up, and you're ignoring me." I complained.
He raised his left hand to my face, and turned my jaw to look at him again. "I'm so sorry my princess. I've been
ACE"Daya and Ace." A voice called from behind.I twirled to face who it was, and turned back to wink at Daya. She smiled like she was shy, and her cheeks turned tomato red."Stop that Ace." She blushed, and gently hit against my arm. "You're making me feel weird."I smiled stylishly at her, and stood up from sitting beside her. "I'll be leaving now." I informed her, and winked again."Good." She said, remaining in her sitting posture.I bent a little, and dropped a kiss on her cheek. "Bye dear. See you anytime soon.""Bye." She grinned back at me."Good luck on your date." I added silently, still bending to her ear."Thank you." She replied in a whisper.I turned to the door, and smiled at the young adult my seventeen years

MIAMIA"Why did you drink again?! Don't you have anything to do with yourself?!" I yelled at my annoying boyfriend, Drake. Twirling around like the drunkard he presently was, he began singing “All of me” by John Legend. This was so frustrating for me. I curled my fingers into a fist, tried to resist the urge to hit the asshole out of him. He was literally embarrassing me in front of the jobless people who surrounded us. If I had known he'd end up being this drunk, I wouldn't have dared to follow him here.Jerking his arm, I tried as hard as possible to pull his hard body. Obviously, it was more like a task for me. He was tall, and here I was, small and slim. "Huh? W-what are you doing?" The grogginess that mirrored in him made him sound like some kind of numbskull. "Just come with me!" I spat out amidst clenched teeth, trying to hide my disgust. This guy didn't know I could break his head right now. One thing I hated was embarrassment. And that was the exact thing he was doing to
"What did you say?" I questioned in disbelief, pretty sure that that had slipped from his mouth. He stared at me calmly, breathed out. "You've got to get married." I scoffed, stood from my seat, definitely not wanting to believe his words. "Do you think this is a joke or something?""I know it's not a joke." The way he had said that, expressed he was indifferent to whatever was going on. Was this man fine? "Then what's going on?" I snorted, tucked my hands into the pocket of my chinos pants, gazed at him. "You must be crazy to think I'll accept your dumb proposal.""Ace!" The moment I said that to dad, mom cried, hurried to me. Well, she hated seeing me insult my irresponsible dad. "Don't speak to your dad like that. What is wrong with you?""What is wrong with me?" I scoffed, my wrath worsening. "Everything is wrong with you all."She moved closer, slowly cupped my jaw in her hands, her face beaming with so much worry. "Ace dear, can you please go upstairs?" She offered. "No, mom.
My mom stared at me blankly. She dropped her mouth on her jaw and moved her lips to and fro without uttering a word. She was obviously shocked by my abrupt change of decision.I had no choice but to agree. If I stated my reasons, she'd definitely pass out, or even pass on. I wouldn't be able to bear the pain of seeing the only person I loved, die off, just like that."Is the reason so terrible that you've decided to get married to a total stranger instead of stating it to me?" She asked wearily.I frowned as I forestalled from our stare, and gazed at the window. "You've been asking for this, and now, I've agreed to it. What else do you want?""I don't want you to get married anymore. All I need is the reason why you changed. Tell me now. What's wrong, or what went wrong?" She asked as she m
I stared at my phone, not knowing whether or not to answer his call. I was still annoyed at him. But, I couldn't be annoyed for too long cause he was definitely the only one I liked, and the only one that liked me too.After so much hesitation, I finally picked it."Sup babe?" He greeted me as soon as I picked up.."Hi." I replied coldly, wanting him to know I was still annoyed."Darling..." He called. "Are you still annoyed? Huh?""Speak up. I'm busy." I retorted as I rolled my eyes in irritation."Ok. Ok. Can I meet you today?" He asked.I sighed and swallowed a bit. "I'm sorry, I'm quite busy. I've got things to do ok?"
I stared at her, not being able to say anything. Maybe she was joking or something. How could she state something that dumb?I chuckled nervously, and at the same time furiously. "You're such a joker, ma'am." I said.She furrowed her eyebrows like she was confirmed, "Joker? I don't get you," she signaled to me."Yep. A joker." I stood up from the couch, and creased my arms across my chest.My mum let out a shaky and obvious fake laughter, and started to walk to me. 'Mia dear. She's not joking." She said.She stood in my front, her fake smile disappearing instantly. "Do not speak!" She threatened in a whisper, amidst clenched teeth.I tried to resist the urge to speak back to her and
I sauntered on the quiet street, helpless and tired. My day was a really terrible one. It was probably one of the worst days in my entire life.I spotted a side bench by the corner of the street, and traipsed to it. I needed to relax. My mind needed to get rid of my sad and horrific thoughts, but it just couldn't.I sat on the bench gently, and began to recall what happened earlier.I had decided to ignore the errand my mom asked me to go for. My parents wasted my time enough, so I needed to get to work first. When I got to work, my boss was already waiting for me at the doorstep. And as soon as he spotted me coming, he walked to me and started to curse at me, as usual. To be sincere, I didn't feel a bit of sadness because I was so used to that already. I tried to plead, but it didn't work out.He embarrassed me so badly that I regretted the fact that I went to work. I
