Ace sat in the little cozy bar he had set in his house. A bottle of wine was resting on the table as he sipped from the glass he was holding. He swirled the glass absentmindedly after every sip, he mind wandered to what he saw today. He saw Renee and Damian kiss passionately in her office and he couldn't get the image out of his head.
A rollercoaster of emotions flooded his being. A mix of anger and heartbreak. Doesn't he deserve her love? Isn't he worthy of her love? Isn't he handsome? Isn't he be enough for her?
As Ace sat on the barstool, lost in his thoughts,the once inviting atmosphere became suffocating. It was like the walls were closing in on him.
"I love you Renee. But you don't see that. You always call me your friend or best friend. What kind of friend doesn't see when the other is hurting? Don't I deserve your love?" He mumbled as he got up to leave.
