Touching the Heart of Ace

Chapter 10

I was cold. I turned in my bed trying to find a warm spot.

I frowned when a gust of wind passed by.

Small kisses and nips were pressed on my thigh.

I was suddenly warm when a weight settled on my body and I smiled. I felt hot breath on my ears and

naughty fingers on my chest.

??Robbie...stop it.??

I felt him smiling on my cheek and nipped my bottom lip.

I was so warm and comfy. I was falling back to sleep when he palmed my back.

??Robbie... I am tired, let me sleep.??

??How do you know it is me???

??There is only one pervert in my life.??

??Mmm. Glad you think that I am a pervert.?? He licked my neck, slithering down to my chest and blew

on my already hard nipples.

??Stop it, you big baby. I said no.??

??I will be quick.?? NôvelDrama.Org © content.

??We both know how slow your quick is. So, stop.??

He smiled and kissed my stomach.

My hands, threaded through his hair. I yanked on until his face was back on my neck and I kissed his

lips.

I rubbed them for a bit. ??I love you, Robbie.??

He deepened his kiss. ??I love you the most, Angel. You are the only one I love.??

??Promise me there will never be anyone else. Promise me, it is just me, your Angel.??

??I promise, Love. You are mine as much as I am yours. I love you, my Angel.??

I squeezed him to my chest and rubbed his back. He was so warm, my Robbie.

I opened my eyes, needing to see his steel grey eyes, but...

Of course.

Tears fell without permission.

3.45 am.

I sat up removing the blanket and hoped the coldness of the floor which was seeping to my feet would

freeze my heart and take this filthy pain away.

Tristian was sleeping on the other end of the bed curled up like a cat.

Sometimes I felt like he was lonely, and my spacing out was not giving him comfort, I guessed.

I waited until the ??hangover?? completely left my brain, so it could catch up with the reality.

I hated sleeping.

I scratched my head and took a water bottle out of the fridge. Jason did not believe it was Robbie. He

was in Vegas, ??swallowed in self-misery??.

Shouldn??t he be happy? His wife was pregnant with his first child. He dreamt of having a real family

for so long. He had told me several times. I wanted it to be true. He had it in his hands, why was he in

self-misery?

I shook my head.

But Jason was right. If it was Robbie, he would not have let me go without... without ??making him

his??. I rubbed my eyes. And Tristian would not be walking. It had been three days and Tristian was

very much walking. A bit distant and lonely though, which was at least partially if not fully my fault.

I checked the clock again, four a.m. Why was my time not going faster?

A sudden sound made me jump. It was from the phone; ??his phone.??

I was suddenly so scared to check was the sound was about.

System update notification.

No, not the system, it was the tracker application update.

Shit!

That was trouble. What if there was a prompt to install after downloading the package? Then I would be

screwed. My app was piggy backing Robbie??s app to change my whereabouts frequently. If I was to

update it his app would shake off my app from its back. Then I would be doomed.

If I did not respond, there was a chance, it would damage the phone, these kind of apps are devils like

that. It was going to corrupt the system software soon.

I switched off my wi-fi just in case, it started feeding the auto-update.

The day had not started yet, and I was done with it already.

I declined the update. The screen flickered and of course the system suddenly understood the

application was a malware and gave me ??warning??.

I rolled my eyes. Stupid phone. I knew it was a malware, you, idiot.

There was nothing to do, but to watch the phone slowly die.

It was finished sooner than I thought. The screen started flickering and the apps crashed on by one,

and my own malware, corrupted the stored data and melted cache.

It was done, but the phone switched on again.

That was... surprising.

Red and black dots filled the screen and a logo was displayed.

Giant R with A in the middle.

I started shaking like a leaf. It was nothing, just the app trying to survive the crash. It was nothing.

The phone display blinked thrice and switched off for good.

No matter how much of a genius I was on this field, no matter, how capable I was to invent all type of

counter attacks, someone else doing the same stuff I did, gave me creeps. It was funny.

Stop lying to yourself, Ace.

I was scared of the logo than watching the clash of malwares.

??Precious, you are awake early.?? I screamed and that made Tristian scream.

Which made me scream again and he gave out one of his own.

??STOP SCREAMING!!!?? I shouted.

??YOU STARTED IT.?? He panted.

There was under eye circles on Tristian, he was not sleeping well. And I screamed at him before he

was fully awake.

6.30 a.m.

How long was I staring at the phone, dammit.

??Sorry, Tristian, I will take you out for breakfast.??

??No, I have an early meeting at 7.30. I am going to get ready.?? He kissed my cheeks.

I stopped him before he could walk away.

I closed my eyes and kissed his lips. A small peck.

I could not keep on going like this.

Tristian deserved better, and I was going to give him the best.

??When will you be back??? I asked the dumbfounded man.

??Late. Around 8 at night.?? He squeaked and I smiled.

??Let me take you out tonight to dinner. Somewhere fancy. I will pick you up from your apartment.??

I hugged him.

??Okay.?? He breathed out.

??Okay.?? I chuckled.

I never took anyone out on dinner. I had to ask Jason for pointers.

??You do not have to stress yourself out, you know.?? He kissed my forehead.

??I have to. I promised to bring a ray of hope to your life.?? I winked.

??You already did, precious. You did that and more.?? He sighed and tightened our hug.

I pecked his lips.

??And I want to do much more.?? I had to do much more.
