{Faith}“Finally! I thought my hair was gonna turn grey before you two admitted your feelings for each other!”Jerry steps out of a corner, smiling and throwing his hands up in the air. “Phew!”Susan materializes out of thin air too. [That's right. We can finally have some peace in this house!]These two were watching us?I press my face against Ace’s chest.He wraps his arms around me. “Guys, this was a private moment.”“Nah-uh!” Jerry wags a finger. “You don't get to deny us such a beautiful scene after talking my ears off almost every day.”[Yes! It’s the least you can both do to pay us back!]“All right, all right, guys. Since you have enjoyed the front-row seats to the show, can you give us some privacy now?”“Privacy, huh?”Susan and Jerry exchange suspicious glances. Walking away, they smile at us.My face burns even more. “Do you think they know?”“What? That we are both sex freaks?”I slap his chest. “Don’t put it that way!”“Why? Do I need to list all the weird places we hav

{Faith}Ace pauses for a second. Suddenly, he points in the distance. “Oh, look! There's a face painting booth! Let’s go get some done!”Turning my head, I give a side-eye. “That’s not gonna work on me. I don't want face paint. Just want to hear the truth.”“Sometimes, the truth isn't always the best thing to hear, Princess…” he sighs.The ice cream in my hand starts to melt faster than normal. Is this how my new relationship would get ruined too?“I already agreed to be your girlfriend. If this is gonna work out, there should be no secrets between us.”I have seen what lack of trust does to a relationship. Even relationships that were thought to be stronger than anything came crashing down because of it.Ace takes out a handkerchief from his back pocket. Gently, he wipes the ice cream stains from my fingers. “I hate keeping secrets from you, Princess. But going down that rabbit hole might not do any good for our relationship. I don't want to lose you.”“Why would you lose me? You ju

{Faith}Ace’s eyes crinkle at the corners as he gazes at me. His pupils shine with only my reflection in them. For a moment, it feels like I am the only thing he sees. The only thing that has his full attention.And that answers my question before he even speaks.“Took you so long to put that together, huh?”I punch him in the chest, tears stinging my eyes. “Why didn't you tell me sooner?”Punch!“Why did you let me think it was a whole other girl in your heart?”Another punch!“Ow, ow!” Ace cries, clutching his chest and bending over in pain. “I have got a weak heart, baby girl. Do you want to punch me to death?”“Oh…I am so sorry. I-I didn't mean to…I thought…”“Got ya!”Suddenly, his head shoots up. He smiles. “Look at your scared face!”I slap his arm. “That wasn't funny. I thought you were really hurt.”He grabs my waist with both hands and pulls me to him. Looking down at me, he blows me a kiss. “I was just trying to make the mood lighthearted. Didn't mean to scare you, Princes

{Faith}A gloopy and chunky mess floods out of my mouth into the sink within seconds. I gag loudly and more vomit, ranging from green to yellow, pour out.Susan rushes up behind me. She pats my back a couple of times.The vomit keeps coming for a good minute. In the end, it’s nothing but just water and saliva.I wipe my lips with the back of my hand, straightening up. “I am so sorry for doing this in your kitchen. I couldn't hold it in.”[Doesn’t matter.]She turns on the tap.I watch the mess flow down the drain very slowly. [You should rinse your mouth]She hands me a glass of water. Under her close watch, I rinse my mouth more than twice. Unfortunately, the bitter taste doesn't go away, nor does the tiny lump lodge at the back of my throat.Worse, I suddenly feel so weak.“Are you cooking fish?”Susan shakes her head. [But I did use fish oil for the dipping sauce]I follow her pointed finger to see a bowl of dipping sauce next to some spring rolls. My belly churns again. I grab i

{Faith}Fuck you!I suck my teeth so hard they almost fall off. He must have smoked some weed before class. That must be why he thinks he gave me such an order in front of the whole class.A few students who know my name look at me. I ignore them at first. Throwing my books into my bag, I am forced to return the harsh stares of the girls who were stupid enough to be crushing on this idiot of a professor.Matthew leaves the hall through the side door. Seconds later, I walk through the same door while a series of murmurs follow me.*****Seven pm. Ace’s mansion.“How was school today?” Ace pulls me into a bear hug as soon as I enter the living room. “You look so tired. Who stressed out my baby?”I toss my bag onto the sofa. “That’s not even the half of it.”“What’s wrong? Did anyone bother you at school? Tell me who it is and I will have their heads on a stake!”Ace takes out his phone. He taps on the screen, then stops abruptly. “Was it that mother—”“Yes!” I push the damp bangs off my
