{Faith}Excuse me? Who are you?Ace pulls away from me. “Kourtney, what are you doing here? When did you get back?”He knows this woman? I watch as he walks to her with a look of calm surprise, not anger on his face.“I wanted to surprise you!” She jumps into his arms, pouting her lips.Ace pulls back his head. “Hold on, Kourt.”She stamps her feet. “I missed you to death. Didn't you miss me, Jonny?”Jonny? That’s his name? I don't know why, but it has never occurred to me before now that Ace is actually not his name. His real name sounds so...innocent.Ace rakes his messy hair. “I wasn’t expecting you to—”“Is it because of this bitch!” She shoots me a hateful glare.Regret flickers over Ace’s face as he glances at me. I clutch the duvet to my chest. So he has a girlfriend? Why didn't he tell me?“Hey, you!” Kourtney marches over. “Don’t just sit there. Get out!”She tugs at the duvet.Ace grabs her by the arm. “We need to talk.”“Let me go! I am not going anywhere.” She kicks and sc
{Faith}My breathing hitches. I blink hard. “What did you just say? You want me to—”“Sit on my face, Princess.”Oh…Ace stands up from the bed and walks over. He slams the door shut. Snatching my hand from the doorknob, he stares into my eyes. “I have been waiting all day for you.”My feet shuffle as he drags me to the bed. “Wait, let me tell you something.”“Shut up, stop talking.”His lips melt into mine. “I don't want us to fight anymore. I don't care if you still have feelings for that douche.”He grabs my breast, kneading it. “I will make you forget him.”My forehead bumps into his chest. I feel weak in my legs. Breathing shakily, “Why are you always doing this to me?”“Because you are mine, Princess. You always will be.”He picks me up. With one hand, he yanks off my panties as he takes me to bed. “Sit on my face.”Maybe it’s because of the way he said it. But I find myself straddling him. He pushes me up past his chest. The tip of his nose closes in on my inner thighs.It tic
{Faith}Allison’s gaze stretches all the way to the parking lot. Standing in the sun, Jerry’s lush beard glows like it has been dipped in red clay and glitter. His hair, which has grown longer since the first time I met him, cascades down his huge shoulders. Over his eyes are a pair of sunglasses. The fitted jeans and a blue striped T-shirt he's wearing fit him to the T.I’ll admit. Jerry is kinda good-looking. But isn't her reaction a little over the top?“He’s like a God! A ginger God!”“Oh, please! Now you are exaggerating.”“Girl! Are you blind!” She bites her nails. “Who is he? A freshman? Professor?”“That’s just one of Ace’s men, Jerry.”“Arrr!” She claws at him. “I want a bite!”“Sheesh! Don't you have a boyfriend at NYU?”“Don’t even talk about that scumbag. I am done with him.”I have heard that many times before. Allison has been with the same rich boy since 9th grade. Although he cheats on her all the time, she refuses to let him go. Charlie and I are already tired of advi
{Faith}The slapping sound echoes in the gym. Ace’s face swings in the opposite direction, a palmprint appearing almost instantly. My palm burns as I withdraw it. I clutch it tightly. “I was seducing no one!”Ace holds his jaw. He looks at me with cold eyes. “I saw the way you looked at him just now. Are you in love with Jerry too?”I raise my hand again. Ace catches my wrist in mid-air.“Don’t provoke me further!”I yank my hand. “I should be the one saying that. Like Jerry said, I only asked him to teach me how to defend myself!”“So I am the first person you try your new skills on?”Of course not!“You started it!” I yell, unwilling to let him win. “You are so annoying!”Jerry is totally wrong. Maybe even blind not to see the piece of S-word this guy is. “I am annoying?” Ace lets out a humorless laugh. “You are the one who’s annoying.”“Where is this coming from? Are you still mad because I didn't allow you to beat Matthew to death?”Ace’s jaw clenches. “Don’t mention that name u
{Faith}“What happened?”The entire living room is a mess. Shards of glass lie in the spot where the center table usually is. Wilted flowers litter the whole place. And the porcelain vases Susan loves to clean every morning are all broken in half. Even the action figures that usually line the mantel of the fireplace are lying on the floor now.My shoulders tremble. I pick up the broken arrow lying on the rug. “We were under attack?”These things happen, right? I have secretly watched some action movies where bad guys clash and invade each other’s homes. Is that what happened here? Did I sleep through it all?“Leave this to us, Faith.” Jerry walks over, snapping on a pair of latex gloves.“What happened here?”“It’s nothing.”“Tell me!”He stops wiping the weird stain on the floor. “Ace had an accident.”“What!” For some reason, my heart skips. “What happened to him? Is he alright?”I look at the arrow in my hand. Did someone try to take him out with this?“He’s fine. Don't worry.”“Wh
{Ace}“Hello! Could you please point me to the Quantum physics lab?”A male student wearing coke bottle glasses stops in the hallway. He looks me over before pointing to the left. “That way.”“Thanks…”Turning in the other direction, I toss the bag of hamburgers and fries into my right hand. I glance at my watch. “It’s past lunchtime already. Damn queue!”“Stop! You are hurting me!”I stop in my tracks. I know that voice. My ears prick up. I look at the door labelled: SUPPLY ROOM.“Shut up! You already gave your virginity to him. Why are you acting innocent now?”“I didn't!”My foot sends the door flying off its hinges. The two figures in the room jump, startled.“Don’t you dare!”I grab Matthew by the collar, throwing him to the wall. He crashes against a shelf like a rag doll.“Are you okay?” Faith nods. “Yes…”Tears stream down her cheeks. Her lips tremble. Just then, I notice the tear in the bust of her dress. Her lacy bra is showing.“You!” Something pops in my head. I pull Matt
