Chapter 1 - Prologue

(NSFW)

"You will sleep on the couch because I have no intention of sleeping there."

"Can't you be a gentleman for once?"

"No, and for you? Never."

"Asshole."

I walk towards the bed. I am also stubborn.

"I will sleep here." I lay in the middle of the bed taking the whole space.

"You wish." He grabs my ankle and pulls me off the bed.

"You fucking idiot! don't touch me!" I grab the sheets not letting go of the bed as he keeps pulling me off it.

"I will sleep here, you can sleep with me or on the couch I don't care."

"Of course, why would you? you sleep with different girls everyday and who do you think I am?" I kick his stomach and crawl on the bed pulling the blanket over me holding it tightly.

"Of course you won't sleep with me, you wouldn't be able to control yourself." He scoffs proudly.

"Yeah, from killing you."

I hear no answer, there's silence which is scary in this situation. I think he left. I pull my blanket down just enough to peek. I look around and he's not there. I reach out to turn off the lights.

"Finally." I sigh and lay on the bed peacefully with a smile, I turn to my right side and get comfortable. "He's so annoying." I mumble to myself thinking.

"Ugh." I turn to the left side, before I could close my eyes I look straight where he is laying on the bed beside me.

I quickly get up snatching the blanket from him. "Ace!"

"Yes?" He turns to me resting his head on his hand, a teasing smile on his face.

I glare at him.

"What's wrong?" He says acting like he doesn't know.

I bite my bottom lip in annoyance mixed with anger, I close my eyes trying to calm down.

I get up and wear my slippers, before I walk towards the couch I throw a pillow at him which he catches. He cheekily smiles and lays on the bed in a parallel position taking literally the whole bed.

I close my eyes trying to get comfortable on the couch and not knowing when I fall asleep.

3 hours later

The sounds of thunderstorm wake me up, it's really dark, I rapidly get up and sit straight my breathing slightly faster than normal. I look around, when did I get on the bed? The darkness and the thunderstorm making me stop from thinking anything. I cover my ears, my eyes shut tightly for a second before opening them, I see weird and scary faces.

I turn to look at the couch where Ace is sleeping, he looks so comfortable.

I fold my knees as I hug them, my forehead resting on top.

"Are you possessed?"

I quickly look towards him. I look around and fidget with my fingers ignoring him.

He walks towards me sitting on the edge of the bed. I look at him, he's definitely going to make fun of me.

"What happened?

"Nothing." I stutter as I look away.

"Scared?"

My eyes immediately turned to him, a vulnerability in them which I try to hide.

"I'm not scared." I hide my gaze from him.

"I can see."

He reaches his hand out and softly touches my cheek in a comforting way.

I slightly move my head, my eyes locked on his, for the moment my mind stops working. As I hear a sudden thunderstorm I hug him out of fear.

The sound of his heartbeats making my heart skip a beat. His arms wrapped around me, the thunderstorms not stopping but the only thing I can hear is his heart beating which comforted me.

He pulled away from the hug, his hands still wrapped around me as our eyes lock. He caresses my cheek, with each passing second he gets closer, my ears warming up, my breathing getting heavy.

His gaze falls on my lips, our lips inches away, his face gets closer as his lips almost brush against my lips. Our breaths mixing, his hand slides on the nape of my neck, he brushes his lips against mine before capturing a soft kiss that slowly turned into a passionate kiss.

As his kiss keeps getting aggressive, I slowly start to realise what we're doing, I put my hands on his chest pushing him away, I hum in the kiss trying to pull away. After some protest he finally pulled away, our breathing heavy, we look at each other almost in shock and embarrassment.

He quickly looks away and starts gazing around. I also avoid his gaze and look away.

He gets up and goes towards the couch, he sits and looks to the other side as he clears his throat.

My eyes keep moving around, my whole face is warm, I rapidly lay on the bed pulling the blanket over me, I turn to the other side.

What just happened?
