CHAPTER 6: ACE COMPANY THROUGHOUT THE DAY

"Ace" Snow muttered in shock, she was dressed in a skimpy nightgown and freaked out on seeing him.

She moved backwards, and shut the door in a rush, trying to process his arrival and opened the door with a gentle smile.

"Sorry about that" she muttered and Ace smiled "No problem, is anyone home" he asked, his gaze roaming around the house and Snow low chuckle.

"Well no" she stated

"Oh, come in" she added, making way for him and he walked in, his gaze round the room and he averted his gaze to the wet floor.

"Sorry I made you drop that" he apologized and Snow ran her hand through her hair, trailing her gaze to the floor.

"Don't worry, make yourself at home. I'll mop the floor" she said and walked into the storage room.

Ace gaze round the house, the neat ceiling, tiled floor and fresh air was nice, he smiled realizing she was staying in a nice home full of positive vibes and surroundings.

Snow ascending out the storage with a mop and bucket in her kitchen hands "let me help" Ace said, standing up from his seat but Snow moving the cleaning tools backwards.

"I spilled it, so I would clean it, besides I can't let my guest work right?" She said and walked to the stained area.

Squashing the mop into the bucket filled with water and mopping the ground. The strawberry spilling on the floor mixing with the transparent water liquid.

Ace gazed at her, watching her softly and carefully clean the area, he reached out for that cup and walked to the kitchen, the running of water heard and the clanking sound of the cup heard, he washed the cup clean and returned it to its position similar to other cups.

Snow hair in her way and blocking the view of her work, her hands tucking her hair behind her ear, but her hair was rebelling.

Ace walking towards her and packing her hair in a bum, his cologne intoxicating her, they smelled nice and pleasing.

Warmness hugged her from his scent and she smiled, she liked his cologne she surely wanted to get one similar to Asher on his upcoming birthday.

"What cologne do you use?" she asked and Ace, focusing on his action, flashed a smile and wrapped the hair elastic band around her hair.

"Does it smell nice?" he asked in a flirtatious time and Snow smiled, rolling her eyes and giggling lowly.

"I want one for my brother, his birthday is fast approaching. He's been stressed out a lot, besides he's super smart and strong. Part of the pack patrol who investigate attacks on the pack" she praised and Ace humming in return.

"So what's its name?" She eagerly asked, gazing at him with puppy eyes and Ace giving in.

"Spicy secret" he muttered and Snow's eyes glowed with interest. " Spicy secrets" she mumbled and he poked her nose gently.

He walked to the couch sitting comfortably on it and diverted his gaze to her "Let's play a game"

Snow eyes flashing with happiness and she stride to the toilet keeping the cleaning tools clean and fresh in there.

Rushing back to the room, and sitting beside him. Her gaze on the desk, multiple game boards and only snacks on the desk.

"Oooh" Snow muttered in interest and stretched her hands pointing to a game "that one?" He asked and Snow shook in rejection.

"That?" He asked, and Snow still had the same reply "nope" finally after a few seconds of choosing.

"You lose" Snow yelled, she won at the snake and ladder game for the third time, luckily she was good at the game.

Ace seemed displeased at losing, but inwardly he was losing intentionally, wanting Snow to be happy and winning in a victorious manner.

Her sassy dancing followed, her waist twirling both ways and poking her cheeks cutely, Ace chuckling at her dance and smiling.

His gaze softened on seeing her dance and he chuckled, he really was pretty and talented. Her nature was everything to him, the way she was cool and somewhat shy was nice, he liked a dual personality.

Rumbling on Snow's stomach and pausing on her dance, she gazed at Ace with shy eyes and he chuckled.

"Didn't have a proper meal?" He asked and Snow chuckled.

"Missed my diet, there will be combat class after the holiday is lifted" she said and Ace heaved a sigh.

"Still you should eat" he scolded and Snow pouted her lip, he patted her hair gently and walked to the kitchen.

"What do you want, I will cook" he asked and Snow smiled, "oooh, you are spoiling me a little too much" she stated and he chuckled softly.

"Common, tell me. I'm at your service " he replied and Snow placed her hand on her chin.

"Hmmmm, a burger and strawberry smoothie" she said, her gaze shimmering brightly and full of excitement.

"Ok, mi lady" he said and headed to the kitchen, slicing and dicing the lettuce, onion, tomatoes, and sizzling of the meat as it fried under the hot temperature of the stove.

Snow gazed with admiration, watching his every move, he wasn't even measuring the ingredients which surprised her, her thought trailing to Logan.

She had seen him cook once, he seemed so focused and cool, he didn't look evil or like a bully, she had peeked at him, it was his private room.

She remembered almost being caught, as his gaze landed on the door and she ran away, her heart beating in fear.

She usually gets fascinated by Logan, she didn't quite put why.

"What are you thinking?" Ace asked, silencing Snow's heart and she flashed a smile at him.

"Nothing" she murmured and he furrowed a brow"Really, you looked like you were thinking of someone else" he pushed at the topic, wanting to hear her heart.

Snow thought trailing back to yesterday's encounter with Asher and her facial expression turned to that of confusion.

"Yesterday something weird happened. My powers suddenly disappeared when Asher arrived. Such has never happened before. What do you think happened?" She asked, her gaze on Ace.

Ace focused on turning the meat, truly he knew why.

Because he was the one who had suppressed her power, so Asher wouldn't see her in such a state.
