CHAPTER 48 I Can't See Said Ace
CHAPTER 48 I Can't See Said Ace
He did everything possible to convince her but the more he tried, the harder it became to make her come out from the bathroom.
"I don't trust you and I won't start now." She said as her voice echoed inside the bathroom.
"I give you my word." He replied and waited for a few minutes to hear if she was going to say something else but no words came from her as he continued to wait patiently.
Shortly, he saw the door move. It was as if someone was trying to open it. It was Sophia. Sophia gently and slowly pushed the door as she brought out her head and peeked in which she saw Ace standing right in front of the door. She laid eyes on his body as her eyes traced upwards, meeting with his eyes as Ace winked at her.
Sophia was so disappointed. "I thought you agreed to close your eyes… you are…" She couldn't finish her statement because Ace was quick to cover his eyes with his arms as he swiftly turned over to one corner of the room.
Sophia Couldn't laugh. The sight of how she saw him cover his eyes looked funny.
"Do not turn. Keep facing that way." Said Sophia as she held tightly the towel around her waist before walking out of the bathroom gently.
"I still don't trust you." She said again, walking towards him. "Lend me your handkerchief." She said and Ace gave to her. Without wasting much time, she took the handkerchief from him and tied his eyes. She made sure it was so tight that before Ace would untie it, she must have finished wearing her Undies at least.
"Does it hurt?" She asked and he nodded and said,
"Yes, a bit."
"The pain won't last for long. Give me a few minutes." Said Sophia as she quickly ran towards the bed to wear her bra and pants. The moment she was done, she quickly grabbed her dress and started wearing it. She wore them as fast as she could.
"Can I open my eyes now?" He asked.
"No!" She immediately replied as she tried zipping up her dress as fast as she could. She tried and tried but she couldn't. Her hands weren't reaching the middle side of the dress. It was at this point that she knew she needed his help.
"I need your help. Please, I want you to…" she swallowed her saliva before she continued talking. " Please, I want you to help me zip my dress." She said with a hesitating voice.
Ace heard her and smiled but didn't say a word. Because Sophia couldn't see his face at that moment, she was unable to see how hard he smiled and how happy he was the moment he heard her request.
"Please…" she added. She walked towards him and said,
"You can untie your eyes."
"You were the person who tied my eyes so you should also be in a better position to untie it." He said and Sophia agreed. She never knew he had a naughty intentions.
"Ok." She replied, walking towards him. She got to him and stood at his back, trying to remove the blindfold but shockingly, Ace held her hands.
"Take it easy so it does not hurt me." He said.
"I will." She replied as she continued to untie. Shortly, she removed the blindfold and threw it on the bed as she walked and stood in front of him.
"Here, please, zip my dress." She pleaded.
"Where? I can't see a thing." He replied and Sophia replied.
"I'm right in front of you."
"I seriously can't see anything. I'm not having good eyesight and I think the blindfold has affected me badly." He said and Sophia's heart skipped.
"What kind of joke is this? I only tied your eyes which I untied after 2 minutes. Please stop teasing me. You are beginning to scare me." She said as she watched him stretch out his two arms, trying to hold her.
"Where are you? I can't see you." He said and Sophia's tears were starting to threaten to fall. She was a soft, fragile and emotional being.
"I'm here." She said and held his hand in which Ace also held her so tight.
"Over here." She said and supported him as they both walked towards the bed.
"Sit gently." Said Sophia, still helping him to make sure he doesn't fall while trying to sit.
Ace sat as he continued to hold her hands while he observed how Sophia acted worried.
"What's your doctor's number? Where is your phone?" She said, trying to search for Ace's phone to see if she could try to put a call to his doctor.
"Does it really hurt? I'm really sorry." She said worriedly, trying to open Ace's eyes to see if some particles might have gone in as she could hear her heart, beat so fast. She was just in a confused state.
She opened his eyes and blew air into them.
"Where is your phone?" She asked, walking to and fro.
"Wait…" he said and she paused.
"please, blow some air into my eyes again." He requested and immediately, she did just that.
"I need to call your doctor. I just can't call a random doctor…"
"Where are your bodyguards?" She asked but didn't get an answer from him. She thought of running towards them for help. The moment she tried running, she felt someone's arm pull her back.
"I need to go look for help." She said again as she held his eyes and blew more air into it.
Her hands shock and trembled in fear.
"I still can't see anything." He blinked continuously.
"But I can see a pretty girl standing right in front of me with tearing eyes and was about to run out to ask for help." Sophia gazed at him in shock as Ace laughed so loud.
"Wait… it was a prank all this while?" She asked with an angered face.
Ace couldn't stop laughing as he stood on his feet and walked very close to her to embrace her but the moment he got close to her, Sophia was so angry that she started pushing him away not to get close to her.
Ace wasn't ready to give up yet. He continued trying so hard to give her a hug in which he succeeded. He hugged her so tight which lasted for about a minute before he spoke.
"Why the tears?" He wiped the tears off her eyes with a peck on her forehead.
"Don't cry… My sight is fine."
Sophia's tears finally poured non stop.
"You scared me." She said.
"Shhhh… Don't cry." He said, still wiping off her tears.
"I'm sorry if I scared you." Said Ace as he placed his arm on her chest. He felt how hard and fast her heart was beating.
"I'm sorry…" He pleaded again with a peck on her forehead for the last time.
Ace made sure he stopped her from crying. The moment he succeeded in doing so, it was a relief.
"Your dress…" He said as he quickly remembered he was to help her zip her dress.
He walked and stood at her back before he finally helped her out.
"Thank you." She appreciated.
"Wow! It looks really good on you." He complimented and held her hands, making her to turn in a circular way so he could admire the gorgeous creature in front of him.
"Thank you." She blushed, covering her face.
"There is face makeup in the bag too. You want a face makeup artist or can you do it yourself?" He asked.
"Face makeup artist? No! Since I don't want much makeup, I'll do it myself." She said, walking towards the bed. She took the makeup items she needed and walked towards the mirror and stood in front of it.
She started by applying just a little powder and luckily, it was her skin color. Once the power was well blended, she moved to her eyes. She brushed her eye brows and lastly, she applied little lip gloss.
Even without much makeup on her face, she looked absolutely beautiful!
Ace couldn't stop admiring her beauty as he continued to stand and stare at her non stop.
She then walked towards the bed and took her silver beautiful shoe Ace bought for her and was getting ready to put them on.
The moment she tried putting one of her legs into the heel shoe, she fell but Ace was so quick to catch her, stopping her from falling as her eyes were now focused on him.
They stared at each other deep into the eyes without blinking.
Her heart skipped. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
'Thank goodness!" Sophia said to herself inwardly as she imagined what would have happened if she actually fell to the tiled floor.
Meanwhile, while Ace continued to stare at her, alot ran through his head.
The more he looked into her eyes, the more lost he became. It was as if he was searching for a treasure inside of her through her eyes.
Sophia noticed how Ace concentrated on gazing into her eyes and the reason for doing so, she couldn't understand.
"Did he suddenly turn into a statue or something?" She said to herself inwardly and blinked her eyes continuously to distract him and it worked.
"What now?" She asked. Her question brought him out of his dazed state as he blinked twice.
"You already saved me from falling. Do you still want to let me fall for the second time?" She asked.
Ace's brain came back to normal. He immediately realized that he was still holding her from the fall.
"Oh… sorry." He said and helped her to stand appropriately.
"Let me help you put on your shoe so you don't fall again. Well, if you do, the super hero is here to save you for the second time." He teased and Sophia laughed.
He held her hand and made her sit on the bed. Once she sat comfortably, he took the shoes and made them fit into her legs and they looked so beautiful on her.
"Thank you." She appreciated and took the fancy little purse from the bed.
"Shall we?" She asked and he nodded.
"Yes, my big baby." He replied and Sophia smiled.
He held her like a bride who was walking towards the aisle as they both walked out of the room.
