Cassie and I wandered back into the training area where Ace was yelling at a kid because they stepped on his foot.But as soon as Ace saw me enter the room, he walked over to me, leaving the recruits to their shooting practice. "I hate training recruits" Ace barked so that the newbies could hear him. "Calm down Ace" I spoke calmly as I directed him over to the chair to sit down. "Is this the only chair in the room?" I was scanning the room when Ace pulled me onto his lap. "Seriously?" I questioned him, raising my eyebrow. "Gotta let them know what's mine" he grinned proudly.He had his head resting on my shoulder as I watched the recruits train; none of them really stuck out yet with their skill. "When can we go?" I murmured in his ear, becoming bored very fast. "Now" he stood up while making sure I didn't fall. "Alright, go home" Ace roared across the room at the newbies who basically sprinted out as soon as they got the opportunity to leave.Ace took his hand in mine. "Let's go to t
I broke the kiss . "We should probably go out" I muttered quietly . "Yeah" Ace nodded , climbing out of the car . He took my hand and helped me out of the car . I went to pull my hand away but he didn't let me ; He examined my wrist before planting a kiss on it . "Before you interrupted me back there , I was going to say I'm sorry , I didn't know where I was or who you were" ."Oh shut up" I said with a light happy tone. I seen him fight off a smile.—————————My eyes followed the coffin that was being lowered into the ground . Ace stood , stiff and tense as always . I saw Ella , Ashton , Grayson and Chase in the crowd of people who were also staring at the coffin .It was completely silent .People started to leave but Ace just stood there staring at the ground . Ashton grabbed my attention , I waved him away and he nodded , following his family .Everyone had dissolved and I felt a drop of rain hit my head. Ace had his eyes closed and his fists clenched . I touched his hand but he p
I started to shiver while staring at the snow in absolute awe . I looked across to see Ace looking at me . A smile was planted on his face as he gazed at me . "Ace" I shouted with a happy tone since he was a good distance away from me , due to me running around ."Sofia" he shouted back , his hands cupped around his mouth . "Tomorrow I have to go to a dance with a 15 year old , but after can we go to a skiing ?" I yelled at him with a questioning tone . "I've never skiing" he shouted back , making my jaw drop to the ground ."Really!" I shouted back at him . He shook his head . I widened my eyes in surprise before I smiled at him with my head tilted slightly . He ran at me and I screamed happily , trying to sprint away . He caught up with me in seconds . He grabbed my hips , lifting me off the ground and spinning me in the air . I laughed uncontrollably while he spun us , with a smile plastered on his face . He slowly lowered me with his arms around my waist now ."We're going skiing
"That means I can book our log cabin at 8" Ace stated to me . "We're staying in a cabin" I gasped excitedly from the corner of the room . I think I'm secretly a 3 year old in a 17 year olds body . It's the first time I've spoken since I came down here. "Yeah" Ace said with a happy tone but no smile . I can't expect him to smile at me all the time . He's only getting used to smiling around me let alone around his friends that probably see him smile , only when he's drunk .Then again he did have a beer in his hand ."Sofia , do you want something to drink?" Ice asked . I didn't even know he acknowledged me when I sat in the room . "Yeah please" I nodded . "See Ace , she has manner" Ice shoved the side of Ace's head playfully while walking past to get me a drink . "Be careful, she's a lightweight" Ace yelled into the kitchen warningly . I shot Ace a sharp and harsh glare . "What it's true" Ace shrugged ."Sofia what colour is your dress?" Chase uttered , taking his phone back off his da
A knock on the door startled me ."Hey Sofia , it's Ice , I was checking up on you to see if you were okay" .Ice has never willingly checked up on me before . "Did Ace send you?" I asked sitting on the toilet , with the cover for the seat down so that it was holding me up . I wasn't upset or anything , I needed at breather .I opened the bathroom door . "I'm fine" I spoke with a happy tone . "I just needed to get away from everyone" I sighed walking out of the bathroom and into the kitchen . I jumped up onto one of Ace's high chairs in his kitchen . Ice just stood there , awkwardly."Ice you can go back inside , I'm ok" I laughed . "I know , but I want to get to know you , I want to get to know why Ace is so obsessed with you" . "I don't mean that in a bad way , I just don't understand. He's been with hundreds of girls and he chooses you , why?" .Ice had a good point . Why does he like me .I gulped at Ice's questions because I didn't really know how to answer that. "You'll have to
"You really scared me!" I smacked his arm again , jokingly .He had a big grin across his face . His eyes light up when he laughs and his body becomes loose and is no longer tense . I think it was the alcohol that was making him happy but either way I was okay with it . As long as he had a smile on his face , that's all I cared about .He ripped off his white shirt and put on a jersey . I watched him change , not afraid to show him I was looking at his body . "Sofia , my eyes are up here" he pointed to his forehead . "That's your forehead" I replied cheekily. "I meant that general area" he rolled his eyes with a smirk . He pulled down his suit trousers with ease and grabbed a pair of his basketball shorts .He hopped up on the bed beside me . We lay in silence for awhile , both of us lying on our backs . "Why are you here ?" I turned over to face him . "I could ask you the same thing" he retorted . "I never wanted to go downstairs in the first place" I played with my hands to distract
"What's your favourite colour ?" I asked Ace. "Hmmm , red" he responded with certainty. "Really! Red" I spoke with shock in my voice . "Yeah , you sound surprised" he raised his eyebrows at me . "I thought it was black" I pulled the blankets up to my neck , snuggling into them . "What's your favourite colour?" He questioned ."Maybe turquoise" I replied . "Turquoise?" He snickered , teasing me . "Yeah. It's a good colour" I persisted."What will I do about Nursing School?" I worried as I played with my hand under the blankets , changing the subject . "What do you mean?" He looked at me with a confused face . "Well my school requires me to be in a lot , and I haven't been in for like two weeks" I explained as best I could . "I'll talk to them" he spoke with a reassuring tone . "Don't threaten to kill them" I warned him ."I'll try not to".We lay in silence for awhile . "Your brother is now officially the leader of the Diaz mafia" Ace let out like he had been keeping it from me all day
We waited in the car for Chase and Grayson to get in . They both got in at the same time , arguing about something but I was too busy playing with my hands to notice . I was bouncing my knee nervously as the anxiety slowly grew inside me .I didn't feel so good anymore .The drive was long since we had to go to Chase and Grayson's school that was practically 2 hours away . I got increasingly anxious, the closer we got. I think Ace could see my worry . He was the only one who could read me like a book or notice my stress . I took a deep breath and let it out slowly , trying to calm down ."You really think I'd let you go to a dance without some of my guards there?" He tried to console my stress . A weight was lifted off my shoulder . "And Terry will be there" Ace grabbing my hand while he started to drive.Grayson and Chase were too into their phones to notice me and Ace ."Nothing will happen" he reassured me as we pulled up outside the school five minutes later. "Ok" I responded with
