I made a mental note to eat healthier and take better care of my health starting tomorrow.
“I’ll try…” I replied vaguely.
There was a moment of peaceful silence between us that wasn’t awkward where we just enjoyed the close contact of each other’s bodies. Ace continued to stroke my back gently while I closed my eyes and concentrated on breathing in his familiar scent.
“Don’t worry, Rina. It’s not like I can really go anywhere with you sitting right on top of me like this…” Ace pointed out teasingly.
“That’s not funny…” I murmured in response.
Ace’s arms loosen from around my body, and I pressed my hands against his shoulders just enough to sit up a little straighter on his lap so that I could see his face and he could see mine. His hand reached up to pat the top of my head softly as I stared deeply into his eyes.
“I love you, Rina…” he whispered.
“That’s also not funny…” I mumbled while looking away in embarrassment.
