Chapter 5 - Dark

Ace's POV

I look around my dark office, how the hell did the light go out?

And what a luck I had to be alone, at least there could be a girl around so we could take advantage of this situation.

In my thoughts, I smirk thinking about the possibilities.

I start to look for my phone but I can't seem to find it.

"Where the fuck did I-" Before I could finish I hear a voice from outside my office room.

So i'm not alone.

I open the door to look around but all I see is darkness.

As I walk someone hits me with something, I quickly grab that person and tackle them down.

"Gotcha!"

"Ow!" A girl yelps, I know that voice.

"You idiot! leave me!"

"What the heck are you doing here?"

"Playing soccer." She answers me sarcastically.

"Really? In the dark?" I reply back with the same tone as her.

"Get off me!"

I hold both her wrists up her head, tighter.

"I can't… what if you're a duplicate trying to rob the office?" I tease her.

"What! i'm not a duplicate you fool!"

"I can't see, it's really dark."

I slowly trail my hand on her side.

"What are you doing?!"

"I'm trying to check if you're actually her."

She squirms trying to release her wrists.

I go closer to her face. She's glaring at me. I love it when she looks at me like that.

"Don't move." I whisper in her ear.

I can hear her breathing getting slightly heavy.

"Ace, get off me."

"Warning?" I mock.

"I did."

She suddenly hits my 'future kids' with her knee.

"Ow, that hurt." I chuckle.

She gets up and straightens her clothes.

"Pervert."

I get up and let out a light scoff.

I follow her, don't know where she's going but I know for a fact that i'll keep teasing her. If she wants to hate me than why not make her fully hate me?

"Where are you going?"

"To die."

"Without your enemy?"

"Shut up."

She walks towards the electrical room.

"Good thing you have your phone's flash on." I say looking around as I keep walking she suddenly stops I accidentally bump into her.

She looks back at me with a angry look.

I smirk in response.

As she walks in I make sure to lock the gate behind me.

"You're an electrician?" I joke.

She starts to look around.

"You're looking for the switch?" I ask, knowing where the switch is.

"You worked here for years, do you know where it is?" She asks.

I cross my arms and give her a smug smile.

"Maybe I do."

"Well than turn it on."

"No."

"Useless."

"You should try saying 'please'."

"I prefer the darkness than saying that to you."

"Wait till it gets completely dark."

As soon as I say that her flash turns off.

"Woah, I should've wished for something else."

She doesn't answer.

"How about now? are you scared?"

"Shut up, i'm not." She says even though I can hear a slight stutter in her voice.

I walk closer to her.

"What -" She starts.

"I'm going to open that window so we can get some light."

I walk over her, she tries to move away but having no room. Her back touches the wall as I reach to the window and open it, it's a really small window but it still is useful.

"Now I can see your ugly face." I mock.

She looks up at me.

Why do her eyes look like that?

I stare at them.

"Can you move no-" She stops, a sudden fear on her face.

"T-there's something c-crawling on my back."

"Crawling?" I furrow in confusion.

I place my hands on her back pulling her close to me.

"Ace-"

"Don't move, let me see what is it." I whisper,

I put my hand on her back, slowly going under her shirt.

Her skin is so soft.

Suddenly a small spider crawls on my hand, I shake my hand making it fall.

"Done?" She asks.

My hand still under her shirt.

"No." I say after a minute.

Since when did she smell this good.

I take her scent in. My hand trailing on her curves as I reach to her bra strap she softly gasps making my heart skip a beat. She pulls back. My gaze locked on her.

What am I doing?

"Ace." She breathes out my name.

Fuck.

I have definitely lost it.

"Your hands."

I take my hands out, step back and walk towards the switch.

I turn around calming myself.

After turning the switch, the lights turn on.

I sigh and look back at her, forgetting what happened before.

"You can go now, seeing your face makes me want to…" I say it with disgust on my face but stop.

"What?" She says almost in a challenging way.

"Puke."

"Really?" She raises her eyebrows. "Same."

She walks over the door and tries to open it but for some reason it's stuck.

"What the-" She sighs heavily.

"What now?"

"Did you close this?"

"Yeah."

"Why? Are you stupid?"

"I have a habit of closing doors. You're just weak, let me."

I step close to the door and roughly twist the handle, breaking it.

"Amazing." She crosses her arms.

"I know, I am strong."

"And dumb and idiot and stupid and-"

"Yeah yeah, no need to compliment me."

"I always have to face problems when I am with you."

"I can say the same thing."

"No you can't, because you're the one who creates them."

"Oh now, do I?"

"Shut up."

"Ok, mam."

After a few tries I still couldn't open the door.

She stares at me with annoyance.

I look back and get close to her face.

"Fell in love?"

"Move back."

I move back, the door not opening while I tried started to annoy me, with a last strong pull, it finally opened.

"Woah, that was easy." Saying that I stand in the middle blocking the way.

She looks up at me.

"What? Move." She says.

"No."

She doesn't say anything but looks way too annoyed by me.

"Say please." I demand, a smirk on my face.

"You wish."

"I am telling you not asking you."

"And you think I will?"

"Fine then we can stay here all night long until someone comes here tomorrow morning and catches us, you know what they'll think?"

She keeps looking not fazed.

"They'll think we were doing naughty things." I continue.

She looks nonchalant.

I raise my eyebrows.

And I thought she would instantly say please after I tell her this scenario.

"You want to get rumored with me?"

"Nobody would believe it."

"Why not? it will be broadcasted on the news, everyone will believe it."

"News?"

"Yeah. I'm the son of James Hart, the media will definitely find this spicy."

"As if the media doesn't know that you sleep with different women everyday."

"No, it doesn't. If they would, it would be a breaking news."

"I still don't care."

"I can see, maybe you just want to get rumoured with me."

She rolls her eyes and steps closer.

"Move."

"Say please."

"Ace m-"

"Don't."

"What?"

"I mean don't say my name, it sounds disgusting with your voice.

"Mr. Hart, move."

"I-"

As I was about to speak, I heard someone's steps.

"Looks like there's someone outside, this will definitely start a rumour in the office-"

"Please?"

I freeze for a second.

"What?" I say, slightly shocked.

"Please." She says again, a fear of getting caught with me in her eyes.

I look down and open the door stepping aside.

Why the fuck did my heart stop?

I clear my mind and walk towards my car. I think I need some sleep.

At home

I lay on the bed staring the ceiling as the moment of me touching her skin replays.

Damn. I think i'm just horny. I definitely need to get off.

Should I call the girl from the other night?

No. She was way too touchy.

Lost in my thoughts I suddenly get a call.
