Ace breathes heavily as he stares into her eyes. The right words always leave him in her presence. He's always afraid he'll say the wrong thing and she'll turn tail and run but he has had it with all the running. "I love you," he says, noticing that she's about to say something contrary like she always does. "don't......don't speak, just listen," he says with such seriousness that she has never seen on him before. "I LOVE YOU," he reiterates louder, bolder using his hands to make gestures at himself and her. ********** Sky Baker has known love like no other, but she has also known loss- a great deal of it- and now she's afraid, afraid to let herself fall again because she knows she'll lose it just like she lost it before. what is the point of loving only to lose it in the end? Ace Reed had never known love. He was born to parents who didn't want him and cared more about their work than they did him and he has only used girls, for one thing: to satisfy his carnal need. What happens when one glance at a pair of sky blue eyes makes his heart do things his brain doesn't understand? What happens when he finally understands his feelings? What happens when the object of his affections wants nothing to do with him?

Love simple, or is it? Chapter 21
"My parents never wanted me" Ace began softly. Talking about his parents was a topic he never ventured into, he put it in a strong box and locked it away. But he wanted her to know him, wanted her to know all of his demons, all his secrets. "Well they never wanted kids in general not just me" Ace sat with his back to the headboard of his bed, he could imagine his father with his dark eyes and his salt and pepper hair, everything he had physically he got from his father, his build, his eyes, his straight Greek nose except for the hair though he got that from his mother.'A diamond of the first water 'That is what his mother was. She had porcelain fair skin, a petite frame, and bright copper pen red hair that he took from her. She was a beauty, an epitome of elegance and wealth, both his parents were but they were also workaholics and unfit to raise a child."Do you guys talk" Sky asked'talk' Ace thought. they don't even know I exist. "My parents and I have no relationship whatsoever

The cold wind whipped around Sky in the dead of the night the only source of light being the moon that shone brightly in the sky. Tarred road stretch on for miles on either side of her as she moved forward not knowing where she was going, she could see nothing in front of her or around her.'Why didn't you save me a voice spoke behind her, she knew that voice, it was one she loved one she couldn't wait to hear every day one she would never hear again. Sky spun around but saw nobody."We died because of you!!!" a hand from behind gripped her shoulders and dug into her skin. Sky screamed out of fright but no words came out. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her but it felt like she was running through thick mud, her movement slows while the chill in the air nipped at her exposed skin. But she didn't slow down. She was getting nowhere through the blackness never ended it just kept going.She could still feel those hands on her, cold, colder than the air, and the stench of blood an

"I'm so glad you came. when I didn't see you before the game started I was so sure you wouldn't show" Ace said gazing at her. These days he did that a lot, gazed at her, not look or stare, gaze. Whenever he looked at her like that it was like she was his world, he couldn't believe she was there or that someone like her existed. His look spoke of great adoration.Sky laughed and broke the staring game they had going on "I told you I would. and I always keep my word""So, what did you think about it??" It was intriguing. fascinating, I mean I'm not a sports person and I tried not to scream with the crowd in case I mistakenly cheered for the wrong team....and you... you're really good, aren't you?? Are you gonna go pro?"Ace stared at her, a soft look in his eyes, he was surprised at her overly enthusiastic expression "No, it's just a game I play for fun... But Tyler's going pro""yh he is, just like his dad" Tyler has wanted to go into professional basketball since he watched Michael J

Sky was getting frustrated, all the clothes in her closet were either on the floor or her bed, and she couldn't figure out what to wear. "What does one wear to a basketball game" she screams out in frustration to no one in particular. She was home alone, Uncle David was still on his work trip, Aunt Loren was at her weekend book club and Tyler already left for the game, Coach demanded that all the players be around at least 2 hours before the game began for some pep talks and mental warm ups. Sky fell onto her bed with a huff, she had less than two hours to get ready and be on her way but the only piece of garment she had on was her skin tone color sports bra and panties set.Her laptop made a beeping sound and she looked over to where she placed it on her desk which was partially covered in clothes too. It looked like someone was trying to face time her. Moving towards the device Sky picked up an extra large button-down shirt from the floor, she used it as a sleep shirt. She slipped

Another week goes by after Sky apologizes to Ace. After the apology, everything just went back to normal between them, like it never even happened. Ace keeps to his word and stops trying to get Sky to open up about her secrets, although he's still extremely curious he wants to believe that In time she'll trust him and tell him all about it.....trust is not the only thing he'd like her to feel for him in time. Ace has noticed that his feelings for Sky don't seem to be going anywhere instead they're getting stronger. He looked for every opportunity to spend time with her, It started with tutoring, Ace was still helping Sky with her history even if she didn't really need the tutorials anymore. she was acing all her tests and had a good understanding of the course. They started hanging out outside of school, they do this so many times anyone who saw them could mistake them for a couple. Ace made it a habit to eat lunch with Sky every day at school, it could either be in the lunch room at

"I shouldn't have ignored you, shouldn't have shut you out, I was wrong, you were only trying to be my friend and I took that for granted, took you for granted and I am sorry" Sky's eyes are watery at this point but she doesn't care.He takes large strides and he's in front of her. Ace feels a strong need to reach his hands out and cup her face, hug her even, take her in his arms and never let go. He knew he missed her, he could feel it in his bones, every day he didn't see her, every time he caught sight of her in the school's hallway just before she hid from him, every time his messages went unanswered, his phone calls ignore he felt like she took a part of him with her.....and the truth was....he didn't want it back."Are you ok?" Ace asked her or more like blurted out, concern evident on his face. His eyes were roaming the length of her body like he was searching for injuries."I haven't been Ok in a while now," Sky said with a small sad smile. This was the first time Sky tried re

"Hey, Sky it's Ace.....uhmmm I'm not sure what I said to get you so pissed at me to the point of ignoring me but I'm sorry, I'm really sorry and if you could just pick up your phone or call me back Id apologize in person"Sky played another one"Hi..... it's me again, Ace, you probably figure that from the hundreds of voice mails I sent. I came to your house today but Tyler said you were out. I didn't believe him, you were probably in your room, hiding. Call me back. Yeah," Ace finished another voice mail frustration thick in his voice.Sky gulped the knot in her throat down and played another one. He was wrong, she wasn't hiding in her room she was in therapy.Sky put her phone down and walked towards her window seat sighting a small black envelope she picked it up.Sky was holding a letter from Ace in her hand. Confused and not sure what to expect she turned the letter around to open it. It was sealed close. The types of seals used in ancient times to authenticate documents. The own

Its been 2 weeks, 2 weeks since he invited her to a party, 2 weeks of avoiding Ace, of missing their tutoring, sky didn't even need it anymore, she hadn't needed it for a while Ace's notes were more than enough to get her a good grade in the course but she kept attending the tutorials, Sky figured out that she loved talking to him, found his voice relaxing but it's been a while she heard it. And now she was in Dr. Melinda's office again after missing her sessions 3 times out of 4 this week."you know this isn't how this works right??" Dr. Melinda began "you cannot just pick when to show up to therapy""It really isn't that big of a deal" sky tried assuring her slightly pissed off therapist "Do you not want to get out of therapy Sky? Don't you want to get better?" I do" Sky whispered, eyes downcast "Then take this seriously" Dr. Melinda had a point and Sky respected her enough to admit it. She had seen over ten therapists but after the first session with Melinda Sky felt like a loa

Ace was seated in the cafeteria amid his friends, the popular crowd but he was distracted, he kept staring at the door every 5 seconds hoping the girl that has taken over his entire thoughts both conscious and unconscious was going to walk in. Since Sky agreed to be Ace's friend they've been civil. greetings in the hallway at school, regular texting, Ace got her number that evening before he left Ty's house and he has taken every opportunity to text her, even if it's just to send weird funny emoticons to get a reaction out of her. But she hasn't been eating lunch with them in the cafeteria so Ace was able to convince her to try it today and she agreed but now he was beginning to think that she had bailed on him. There was also the issue of Ty's objection to their relationship or lack of... and now he was glaring at him or was it staring intensely, well he was making his displeasure very obvious and the group was starting to notice if the looks some of them were giving him was anythin
