Touching the Heart of Ace

Chapter 21

??You do not get to tell me what I should do.??

??Oh, I do, Davidson. You are not...?? I hung up the call.

Jason was my best friend but there were times in my life I just wanted to kill him by my own hands.

Ughhh!

I meant when mom and he visited during the Bugatti issue he was so understanding. He stayed with

me two days longer and I cried to his chest because I was unable to cope up with the emotions inside

me.

??Do you think I am just a piece of flesh? Why does everyone think I want to be groped and called a

slut and say they want me in their bed???

I was hiccupping so bad of non-stop crying.

??No. For one I never thought of you as a possible quick fuck. You are hot, so is Liz but we evolved

from that. These people they do not get to know you, believe it or not but we first take in the physical

appearance of a person. And you are very beautiful.??

??I never had a problem at M.I.T.??

??Not true, Dave. You had several admirers there too. But M.I.Tians are mostly focused on getting This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

good grades and are career driven. Your new college is filled with rich kids who wants to have a good

time.??

I cried harder in reply.

??And you grew up so fast.??

??Wh...what???

??You are young, Dave, real young.?? His hands rubbing soothingly up and down my back. ??You

finished your college degree at the time most kids think about applying for one. Normally, when you are

surrounded with people your age, you get enough time to flirt and have sexual encounters in your own

way. You never got a chance to be with kids your age.??

??Not true, I was accepted at the age of 12 but mom insisted I needed to be a kid, and with our dad??s

demise she was clingy to me. I only joined at 15.??

??Yup, exactly what I am saying. Do not let those people get to you. You are more than just a beautiful

body.??

??Then why did ??he?? treat me the same???

??I do not understand that, Goose. I have no idea.??

I cried harder and he waited until I pulled through the storm before leaving me but the same man was

now on my butt for going to vacation. I needed to smack him down.

I was going and that was the end of it.

I was at the door of Ned and Rupert??s apartment, with all the perishables out of the fridge. I was

staying a hotel for the time being. Hearing no response to my knocking, I showed myself in with the

spare key and... viola.

??... Ru, I heard some... oh, yes... yes... Papi.??

??Take me in your boy pussy, Trouble. Take me all in. FUCK!??

Oh My...

Spray me with holy water. I pulled out my headset and blasted some noise into my ears, sat on the

floor and placed my head between my knees and thought of Vanya??s profile picture.

There, everything was okay for a while.

Someone put their hands on and the headphone was pulled off me after sometime.

Minutes? Hours? Days?

??Is he traumatized???

??I think he is traumatized.??

??Call 911.??

??I told you several times that someone was at the door. Now look! We broke our David and who is

going to make me Quesadilla? Your water-burning cooking skills???

Thank you Ned, for caring so much about me.

??No one broke me; I just need some holy water.?? I glared at both of them.

I shrieked and jumped away when they tried to hug me.

??Hell, no! Stay right there. Gross!?? I mock shivered and they both sandwiched and rubbed their

bodies onto me.

At least they showered. Or I would have fainted.

??I will throw away the food if you do not stop it.??

Ha! Told you! Suckers for my food!

Ned ran with my package and put the whole thing in the freezer and stuck his tongue out.

Fridge - check.

How was he jumping around so much? When Robbie was done with me I could only...

Better thoughts!

Right!

I handed Ned his cheque for the month.

??Look, David, I was planning to talk to you about this. It is not right, man. That kid had some rough

upbringing. I can teach him for free. He deserves it.??

Liam was growing on Ned each day. He was punctual and respectful. Liam cut short on ??shit??

because Ned said it did not fit in classroom to call ??tuning fork?? a ??vibrating shit??.

??I know, but you were looking for jobs. This is a job and I can afford the amount. Take it.??

??Still...??

??Nope. Here. I am leaving tonight. Just take care of him.??

??Taking care of him is not a big deal, but we need more tutors. For his social science, language and

Ru agreed to teach him mathematics.??

??We will figure it out after I come back. Fix your tuition fees, Rupert.??

Rupert checked the amount I gave to Ned, and whistled. ??I am coming free of cost. This is enough.??

??No, that...??

??Trou... Ned was feeling down of taking your money. He did not know. He was thinking of some Richie

Rich who was slacking in classes when he agreed. I am coming free with this package.?? He slapped

Ned??s behind hard and he jumped away wincing.

I shook my head. ??Fine. I will be going now.?? They were going to go at it again. I needed to get out

of there fast.

I ticked Ned off my to-do list.

Then I went to Liam, handing him over the questions I had made, for working out, print outs of various

equipment and organisms depicted in his text books and a pencil box.

??So, what will you do if you are having any kind of trouble with any of your tutors???

??Call this number???

??Yup!??

I handed him Jason??s phone number. I was not taking my phone with me during the vacation; one of

the reasons why Jason was cancelling his business trip and insisting to come with me.

He said it was stupid and I told him, he was stupid. Then we fought and I won!

??Ned sed his nigga will teach max.??

??Yes, Rupert might come this week and will teach you mathematics. But if you are not okay, stick with

Ned and we will take it, when I come back.??

He nodded.

Liam ?C check.

??Yo, David.??

??Yes, Liam.??

??Yo be okay???

??I will be fine, Liam. You focus on your studies, yeah? And grooving. Do not forget grooving.??

He smiled, nodding.

??Here.?? He handed me a piece of paper.

??What is it???

??My number. I know places...and niggas. Yo in trubble, call.??

??Thank you, Liam.?? I hugged him and he hugged me back tight.

I was touched but how hard this could be?

I skipped to my dance class. Hell was not happy but she said if I took today??s class she would not

break my waist when I came back. After promising her, I would not forget to do my stretches and daily

workout; she agreed to give me some time off.

I did my warm up, my solo numbers, had a few lessons on new moves and was waiting for Hell to

analyse my posture when I passed through a crowd in the hall.

It was a duet dance.

The song, god! The song!

It was punching on my heart.

He's so tall, and handsome as hell

He's so bad but he does it so well

I can see the end as it begins, my one condition is

Say you'll remember me

Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe

Pain!

I had forgotten, this kind of pain existed in me.

No, not when I was this close to get out of it. I barely managed to snatch my bag off the floor as I ran.

Ran away from the things that were in my head and heart.

I was frustrated I could not leave the pain on the sides of the road.

Why? Why? Why?

I was taking different route these days to avoid meeting with Robbie and it worked so well.

??You will come with me.?? For what?

He said, "Let's get out of this town

Drive out of the city

Away from the crowds"

I thought heaven can't help me now

Nothing lasts forever

But this is gonna take me down.

No!

I did not want that. I did not want that ever.

I did not want him in my memories trying to hold me back and...

He!

Robbie!

My Robbie!

He was there. His black hummer barricading the road and I stopped running bewildered. How was he

there whenever I thought of him!

Because you think of him every second of your pathetic life, Ace.

He put three fingers in the air and wiggled them taunting.

I had to get away from him before I let the emotions consume me. I ran expecting him to follow but he

stood there, his gorgeous eyes still covered by his shades and watched me run away from him again.

I stopped at the curve of the road, hanging on a pole panting, and he did not make a move.

Letting me run away... again.

And run I did.

I knew I was crying only when the receptionist at the hotel I was staying at pointed at my eyes, looking

scared.

??Ohh... I...??

I snatched the key from her and locked myself inside the room screaming in pain.

Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams

Wildest dreams

You see me in hindsight

Tangled up with you all night

Burn it down

Some day when you leave me

I bet these memories follow you around.

I cried until I could cry no more.

The thought of leaving the city and to be a vagabond pushing on my mind with vengeance.

I cleaned myself really quick, changing the dance clothes, planning to take a quick nap before my

journey. I needed to get out of here, get myself out of this whirlpool, had to lose these unhealthy

emotions somewhere far away, had to stop... loving him so much.

I took gulps and gulps of water from the nightstand.

The tension slowly leaving my body, and the tiredness taking the gear, I drifted off to sleep.

It felt so good to sleep.

I felt so good. I could spend my life in dreaming because I was dreaming of him.

He was near me, holding me in his lap, calling me his Angel.

I loved being his Angel, being his little slut, being his one and only.

He kissed my lips, rubbing his thumb on my cheek, calming me down when I tried to touch him.

??Sleep well, my beloved Angel. I got you now. I got you.??

I smiled. I loved it when he got me. He was slowly rocking me to sleep. ??Shhh... ,my pretty little kitten.

You are with me. Close those eyes.?? I closed them, I was dreaming and he was here with me;

watching me sleep.
