Chapter 2

Walking through the front door of the large dining room Sky hears noises, yelling, and playful banter, and then she sees a large window that lets in a lot of light making the room bright and beautiful, this makes her wonder how the room would look like at night, especially with a full moon in the sky.

The noise doesn't stop, everyone is oblivious to her presence and this allows her to watch.

The room is packed with guys, tall, bulky guys that look to be about her age, but everyone is tall to Sky with her height at five foot five inches.

One guy throws a glass cup at the other tall guy opposite him like a basketball and thankfully the other guy catches it...

' I don't think my aunt will be ecstatic knowing that her fine China is being used as a replacement for basketball'

Let me tell you something about Sky, she has this innate ability to blurt out her thoughts without remorse, most times she does this unknowingly like right now...

The fact that about 6 pairs of eyes are starring at her and the room happens to be extremely quiet right now shows that her last thought was less of a thought and more of an utterance

Ty walks in at that moment grabs her by the arm and pulls her fully into the room

"Everyone, this is my cousin Sky, she just got in from California"

"Sky remember your Uncle, David" Her Mom says coming into the room with the older man from the backyard

"It's nice to see you again," she says, looking at him with a smile on my face that looks forced though she tries to make it look anything but ..." and it's nice to meet all of you," She says to all the tall giants around the table then she take a seat opposite the big window.

David, Ty's dad seeing as the guys haven't moved or stopped staring shouted "last one to seat runs laps till they pass out" and that did the trick, they all scampered into their seats

"I'm Lucas," the guy sitting beside Sky says interrupting her stare down with the part of the lawn she could see through the window

"I'm Dan," another one says "I'm Luke".... "I'm Bash....and that was how the introductions went with everyone calling out names she probably won't remember and she just sat there pretending to be interested.

'I know if I put in an effort I could make friends', She thought

Sky was quite skilled at holding conversations and keeping people interested

'I could even go on a few dates who knows I might just find the one......again but at the end of the day they all just leave, everyone leaves.'

Her thoughts were interrupted by uncle David's voice

"you need to take your responsibility seriously Ace, the whole team is counting on you...."

Looking up from her food she stares into the blackest pair of eyes she has ever seen.

Ace was around 6 ft 6 inches, had copper-red hair, and was beautiful he also looked like a guy that knew it too. From the conversation, Sky gathered that he was the captain of the Basketball team and didn't show up for practice

Ace walked in with a swag that only guys that are confident with a hint of cocky and arrogance could pull off, he kissed aunt Loren on the check, said good morning to Sky's mum, and starts fist-bumping and high fiving the rest of the guys then he stands opposite her in front of the window and looks at her with a look of surprise and then one of curiosity ....like...she was out of place, then he opens his mouth...

Ace's Pov.

"Sky" that's what comes out of her mouth further confusing me.

I have never seen this girl before, trust me I'd know if I have, even if it was just a glance, eyes like hers are unforgettable, I think I forgot to breathe for a second there

"Huh?" was my brilliant reply 'insert mental face slap here' my parents would be soo proud right now to know that the only reply my brain could formulate after all the expensive education they made sure I received was "huh?"

"My name is Sky, it is nice to meet you" and then she went back to her food.

Is that it, I didn't even get one word in. Sitting in the seat opposite her I picked up a plate and filled it with food while still covertly staring at her, there was something about her, about the way she said the words like she didn't want to speak but she had to then there was the way aunt Loren, the woman at the table(probably her mum) and Tyler stared at her like they were expecting her to do something but she did nothing, just moved the food around her plate a bit, put a few bites in her mouth and repeat but this gave me ample chance to look at her, everyone at the table was busy talking about one thing or the other and asides from the stares she got from her family and some of the guys, no one bothered her.

This creature was beautiful with long blond hair packed up loosely and loose strands framing her face, skin like milk, dainty hands, and then she raised her head and looked at me, she probably felt me staring but I couldn't stop she has the bluest eyes like the sky

Yes, her name is Sky from her eyes

"Sky...." This got her attention. "because of your eyes I guess"

Her answer was a small smile which drew my eyes to her lips, plump and Red like they've been bitten

I was enamored...

I am not a saint and I do not claim to be, I've had my fair share of girls, I am what people call a playboy but with me, you get the truth, I like sex like any other guy, lots of it, and from the beginning they know it's a no strings attached deal, some get clingy but like I said I'm not in for any strings....then why is my heart beating this fast and why are my palms sweaty and why can't I peel my eyes off her.

The peach-colored walls with grey accents were my style, there was also a queen-sized bed that looked comfy with white covers and grey and peach colored throw pillows, the double door wardrobes were big, and there was a small table by the bedside with a lamp on it, I also had my en suite"I love it, thank you" my response brought a smile to her face.Mom stepped into the room squeezing aunt Loren on the arm, probably her way of saying thank you....again"I'll see you downstairs," aunt Loren said to mum while leaving the room"Sky.....""Mom...."

    Chapter 4Sunday came and went. I unpacked my stuff, arranged my room, put my personal effects away, and read a bit, although it was some of the old books I've read before I promised, I promised to put in an effort so I will.Plain white shirts with the option of long or short sleeves tucked into navy blue and black short plaid skirts, white thigh high socks, and polished black shoes, that is the official school uniform of Lake view high school according to the student handbook,Oh, and there's a tie!!, though that is optional 'thank God'I've been awake since four am. I've bathed, brushed my teeth, pressed my uniform, and have been sitting on my bed in my robe reading this book, it is very boring by the way. Check this out:'All students are to report to the auditorium by eight every day for a mandatory assembly' what happened to just resuming school and going straight to classUhhh I miss public school...I miss my school, I miss...

I was supposed to have gotten the information last week, the school does this to avoid too many students crowding the office but I couldn't get mine because I got into town on Saturday.Today marks the beginning of the senior year, soon high school will be all over. I'm not sure what I plan to do next but we'll see. It'll be a miracle if I'm able to survive the semester"What do you have first and second period?" Ty asked"History and Ap calc""Sh***t....your cousin's smart Ty....what happened to you" he laughed Ty laughed, everyone knew that was a joke but Tyler didn't really care, he always said he wasn't one for rigorous reading he just wanted to shoot hoops.It seemed everyone had different classes to attend for first period but since I was new Toby said She'll walk me to my history class since her literature class was in the same building.Toby

    School got out by three but basketball practice ran till 5. Uncle David wasn't coaching the team today, he had to fly out of the state for work, and seeing as Tyler was my ride home I was stuck here, on the bleachers till 5.I leaned against the backrest of the chairs on the bleachers and watched as the guys ran drills, they passed the ball, shot hoops, and did some complicated formations that went right over my head. They were really good.I wasn't the only one in the bleachers, turns out the guys had some serious fans, and with the way, they were sighing now and then I'd say they weren't here for the sport, more like for the guys.Dark eyes from across the field were staring at me like they were looking right through me like he was searching for my secrets'huh' I thoughtI guard those with my life.Ace Reed liked me. Or at least he was interested in me that much I could tell from the long stares and the short conversations we've had if you'd call that 2-second ramble between us a c

    Ace was confused. The feelings were beginning to overwhelm him and he still didn't understand them. He especially didn't understand what happened this evening with Amber.Amber was a regular part of the group, she was good friends with the girlfriends of some of the basketball players so that earned her a spot in the group. Amber, Tasha, and Laurel we're as thick as thieves. In a way, they kind of ran the school together. People said they were the perfect combination of beauty and brains.But Ace thought differently now, there was only one girl whom those terms perfectly qualified, and her sky blue eyes haunted him.It wasn't news to anyone in the group or at school that Amber had feelings for Ace. She knew about his sexual escapades, everyone knew he slept around.......a lot, he goes through girls faster than their high school ran out of toilet paper in the girl's bathroom. But she always thought 'Boys will be Boys' and when he was finally ready to settle down he'd pick her.Ace was

    Ace walked through the high school languidly. He hadn't seen Sky in two weeks, he didn't know if she was avoiding him or if she just wasn't in school. Students were leaning against their lockers some of them were alone going through their phones, and searching through their lockers while some were in groups gossiping.He noticed eyes following him around as he made his way down the corridors of the school and towards his destination. They were the eyes of some of the girls he usually slept with. Girls, he'd slept with all the time trying to feel something.......Anything. Playthings he used to extinguish his boredom.Looking at them now though he wondered why he started it and kept on doing it, it never filled the void inside of him, at the end he was just left with some clingy females who didn't understand the word No. And the most shocking part of it was that now.....now he had no desire to seek them out.On getting to the lunchroom he moved towards the table his group was sitting a

  • Love simple, or is it?   Note!!!!!

    Let's get some facts straight so we don't get confusedAce is the male lead of the book, he has never been in love, and the only type of love he has ever felt is familial love from his Grandfather and Ms. Mary, his nanny. That is why it seems he's messing things up with Sky, he has no clue what he's doing or feeling.Sky knows what love is but right now she's not really receptive to it because she has lost it too many times. How? Please keep reading the book to find out. She's smart and perceptive so she can tell that Ace likes her( I'm sure a lot of us here can tell when a guy or a girl is interested in us. It has nothing to do with being proud or presumptuous)Tyler is Sky's Cousin. Laurel is his girlfriend. Amber is her friend and is borderline obsessed with Ace. Jules Baker is Sky's Mum, She's in New York. I won't really be writing much about her.David and Loren Williams are Tyler's parents. David works for the NBA and Loren is a stay at home mom.If you have any questions pleas

    "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

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
