ACE
Courage

About an hour had passed since I gathered with Ace and his friends in the kitchen. Hoodie Ace is huge on my body, his arms are too long for my arms but it smells like Ace, so I guess that's the plus point.

I finally gathered up the courage to get up and walk into the living room, they all drank, including Ace. I walked awkwardly, hoping not to catch anyone's attention. The only empty place is next to Kaylo. I wonder, why is there all I can sit?

I sat next to him uncomfortably, I could see Ace staring dislikely as I sat next to Kaylo. Ace gulped down his beer bottle with a stern expression plastered on his face. Kaylo looked at me while Ace turned his gaze, talking to one of his friends. Kaylo moved her hand to my thigh. I feel like vomiting.

"Please get your hands off my thighs." I hissed softly at Kaylo, trying not to attract their attention.

"Hmm, I guess I'll just let it in there, maybe even want more." I squirmed as Kaylo's hand moved from near my knee to my middle thigh. I saw Ace still talking to his friend.

Ace looked at me, Kaylo quickly moved his hand away from my feet. My gaze unintentionally looked towards Dante who I thought had seen it all.

"So who are you going to bring to the party?" Ice chuckled, she clearly looked drunk. Most of them were all drunk, including Ace I guess.

"Maybe one of my whores." Answer a man I don't know his name.

"Don't call a woman*****, that's disgusting." I scolded the man and before he could answer my words, Ace had already cast a sharp glare at him, thus making him speechless.

"Actually, I'll bring a girl I love, you'll finally meet her." Said Dante with a smile imprinted from his lips.

"Aces?" ice caught Ace's attention.

"Who will you bring?" Ice asked him curiously.

"Not knowing." Ace shrugged his shoulders.

I looked at Ace who was glancing at me before looking at his drink.

"He never chose whoever he would bring, always his father who chose." Complain one of Ace's friends.

"Do you have a problem with that?" Ace snarled in reply to that statement.

"Why don't you just go with Sofia?" Dante asked Ace in a seductive tone.

"Silence Dante." Me and Ace hissed at him simultaneously. Dante chuckled and confused everyone. Damnit damnit! Dante was the only one who saw us dance yesterday.

"Why is Sofia here?" Someone asked.

"I thought she was one of Ace's whores." Ice chuckles at me. Everyone is looking at me right now.

"What the fuck is that guy, calling me a whore!" I said in my heart with anger.

"I'll go back upstairs." I shook my head while walking out.

"Ice listen, she's not 'my bitch'. Sofia is someone who will be with me forever so if any of you piss her off like that again or call sofia a whore, I will kill her right then and there. Including the three of you." Ace announces to all his friends who are in the room, in particular threatening Ice, Kaylo and Dante.

I turned around and it turned out that Ace was looking at me.

"Dante's up." Snapped Ace to him.

"Akhhh, I got kicked out of a chair." Dante clenched his chest dramatically as he fell to the floor.

I giggled softly while everyone was laughing at Dante.

"You, here." Demand Ace point at me with his finger pointing to the empty spot beside him. I walked with certainty, because I knew that I would rather sit next to Ace than Kaylo.

Dante struggles to get back up when Ace kicks him again, it worsens his circumstances. Make everyone laugh. I saw Ace smiling faintly at his friend, but the smile disappeared instantly. Ace sipped his beer again.

He was very attractive, only he looked perfect among the others and it was annoying.

I woke up from my daydream when Ace turned to me. "You a mouthful?" Ace offers in a relaxed tone.

I looked at him with a worried face, I was afraid it would make me drunk.

"Have you ever had a drink before?" Ace asked me.

"You think I can take all the risks when I'm drunk?" I smiled, rolling my eyes.

"Mmm now I understand why you're still a virgin." Ace's whisper made my hair stand up.

He sneered while handing the bottle to me. "Suck it, I won't punish you. Well at least not as you think." He muttered in the last part but I can still hear it.

"All right." I breathe while drinking it. I scrunched my forehead, it was sour, I didn't like it. Ace who was looking at me laughed out loud.

I smiled at her laughter. I wish I could hear more.

"He made Ace laugh." Kaylo jolted to attract everyone's attention.

"I think Ace likes sofia." Ice grinned at me.

I think Ace was too drunk to realize what they were talking about.

"How long until Sofia can knock Ace out?" Dante asked Ice calmly.

"I think it's less than a month." Ice looked at me from top to bottom intensely.

I was too busy admiring Ace's smile, so didn't care for those who were looking at me.

"How does it feel? Why is your face like that." Ace laughs.

"I don't know." I chuckle.

"Let me get you something better." Speak Ace hoarsely before walking out of the room.

I sat awkwardly until Ace came back.

"It." He murmured while offering me a bottle of wine.

"I think you'd like this one better." Ace smiled proudly.

"I need a cup." I muttered while looking around.

"You're a pervert when you're drunk." I warned him.

"Just drink from the bottle, it'll be better." Ace murmured while sipping his drink again.

I shrugged and sipped wine.

"It's better." I'm nodding.

"I haven't had wine in a long time." Ace swapped our drinks.

Even though I don't like Ace's beer, I still drink it so as not to upset him.

"Hey slow down!" Ace grumbled as he took his beer from me.

"I still don't like the taste." I murmured while rubbing my lips.

Several hours have passed and it is now 2 am.

Ace and I have finished a bottle of wine. "I should probably sleep." My kiss on Ace.

"Yeah me too." Ace shook his head trying to keep himself awake.

I went to stand up but suddenly my body was shaken and Ace caught me.

"Be careful" He warned me, looking at me sharply.

"Yes. Thanks." My words are plain.

Ace held onto my waist as we walked, just in case I would fall again.

We slowly walked up the stairs.

"My stomach feels uncomfortable." I whine at Ace while holding my stomach.

"Oh no." she widened her eyes as she lifted me up and ran to the bathroom.

Huueekk.. Huueekk..

I spit out all my stomach contents after being in the toilet..Ace gripped my hair slowly and held it.

"Just spit it out." His whisper while tucking his hand under the hoodie and rubbing my back. I sat on the floor, exhausted.

"Come on." Whisper again, help me stand up. Ace laid me on his bed.

"Just to make sure you don't choke on your vomit." God slowly.

I widened my eyes afraid of him.

"I'm kidding." He grinned while taking off his shirt. Ace took a pillow and placed it on the floor.

"What are you doing?" I frowned at him.

"Sleep." Mumbled Ace.

"Sleep on the bed, why are you sleeping on the floor." I shook my head at him.

Ace grabbed a pillow and put it back on the bed, slowly climbed up and slept beside me. I turned and faced Ace, and Ace was looking at me as I looked at him.

"I hate being drunk." I muttered while closing my eyes.

"Yes, that's not the best thing." Ace acknowledged.

"Where's your dad? He went in sight these few days?" I asked Ace, half conscious.

"Maybe there's a job." Ace answered hesitantly.

"Oh." I muttered while my breathing slowed down.

"Do you want to go to the dance with me?" Ace suddenly asked in a very calm voice.

"Yes, I think it would be nice." I smiled as I opened my eyes.

"Yes, I think so too." Whisper .

I put my hand on the pillow.

"When I first met you, I thought I'd hate you." Ace muttered to me.

"Oh yeah." I frowned at him.

"You're not so bad." She teases me.

"Yeah well. But you're the worst." My map's with him.

I saw a smile appear on his face, my eyes adjusting to the darkness of the room.

"You should smile more." My whisper was slow, staring deep in his eyes.

"Sleep." Soft whisper.

I closed my eyes but I wanted to feel her touch. I slowly thrust my hand, with my eyes still closed, towards her hand. If he doesn't react, I can pretend it was an accident.

I stopped my hand when it came into contact with Ace's hand. I felt the back of her fingers looking to find my hand.

His hands stopped in my hands, and yes our fingers interlocked. I can't describe his touch, which I know I've always wanted to feel.

I peeked at him to see if Ace had already closed his eyes. I smiled at him, closing my eyes again. Holding his hand was enough for now.
