Secrets

**Point of view of Amber White**

I am walking aimlessly thinking about mother, it's making me sad and I wanna stop but I am not able to do so. What do I do to make it sto....... I was pulled out of my thoughts when someone tugged on my hand. I turned only to meet those attractive yet dangerous pitch-black eyes, Ace. What is he doing here? No, not that, the main question is What does he want from me? I waited for a minute looking into his eyes so that he could say what he wanted to.

When he didn't say anything, I collected my thoughts and I yanked my hand back and took three steps back while looking at him cautiously.

"Aaa....I" he began speaking but stopped after only two words.

Why isn't he saying anything? Soon the bell rang and students flooded in the corridor. Since he doesn't have anything to say, I take this as a chance to run away and began to run. Even if he had anything to say, I wasn't going to listen anyway. The only reason I was standing there for so long was because of his eyes, they were captative, it was as if they were possessing me, they made me want to get drunk in those eyes.

NO Amber snap out of it. You can't think about these things. I was thinking all this while running and before I realized it I was away from everyone and alone. I looked around and find myself in an empty corridor. Where am I? I walk a little deeper into the corridor and see there is only a black wooden door in this whole long corridor. Why is no one here? Should I not be here? But on second thought it's nice since I can be alone now and I need it right now. If someone even comes, I will see about it later and I am sure I can handle it fine.

I walked to the door, hoping to find a quiet place to stay. I grabbed the nob and softly twisted it, It's open. I entered the room and find everything in black, grey, and white in the room. There is a queen-size bed, a couch, a bin-bag, a TV, etc., and whichever is needed by a human to relax with. What the hell is a room like this doing in a school? but you know what I don't want to think about any of this right now, I am too tired to do so.

I don't know where I am but I am sleepy from all the running and thinking. I am starting to get a headache. I also didn't sleep well yesterday. I turned and locked the door and walked to the bed as I throw my bag on the bin bag. I lay on the bed as I spread my arms and damn this bed is soft.

The only thing wrong right now is that I feel like crying. Damn it, it's all because of that slut that I am like this. Why, why, I don't even have a mother to take care of me, cook for me, be with me, and that sluts comment brought back all that. I miss you, mom. I miss you a lot. Please come back to me.

Before I know it I had fallen deep into sleep.

**Point of view of Ace Williams**

"You all fucking can't even find a single person. How useless can you be?" I roared at my men.

After I called denial, I began the search for her but when I wasn't able to find her after half an hour, I cleared the whole school and it seems like she is still in school since she hasn't left, we have checked the CCTV. I made my gang members search for her and it's been three hours. I can't find her anywhere. I don't want to let go of her this time, especially after seeing that look on her face.

Just where did she go? She can't just vanish right. I can't think straight right now. I need to rest then maybe I will be able to figure things out. I walked to my private room at the school. As I attempted to open it, I find it locked. Strange I never lock the door cause everyone knows not to come here, leave the room, no one is even allowed to come to this part of the school.

I pulled my gun which usually hangs at my back under the jacket and opened the door with the pin. I slowly opened the door and started taking light steps as I roamed my eyes around, I see someone sleeping on my bed. Ohh he is as good as dead. Not only did he break into my personal space but also used my things. Too bad now I will destroy the whole room, I don't want anything used by someone else. I walked to the bed while pointing my gun at the person. But what I see makes me stand for a good minute, shocked.

Amber is sleeping on the bed, almost curled in a ball. She is sleeping on her side with her legs curled up, to say it simply, she is sleeping in a baby position. It is said that this sleeping position gives the person a sense of security and makes them feel safe.

She is as beautiful as ever. Her hairs are spread out on the bed, her eyes closed showing how long her eyelashes are, her pink lips and her black sweatshirt are a little up showing her white skin as she lays there on the black bed. She looks like an angel, no, forget about that, she looks like a fallen angel, dressed and surrounded by all black.

I picked my camera from the nightstand. I have to click this. I slowly climbed on the bed not wanting to wake Amber and clicked the moment that I admired. I get off the bed since I wanted some of the pictures of her up close to her face. I took some pictures and when  I was satisfied with the photos I put down the camera on the nightstand again.

I crouched beside the bed and caressing her cheeks. I can see a dried tear that slipped from her eyes all so well. Fortunately, it seems that she didn't cry but I know how sad she was. I am so sorry kitten I should have been here soon. I stand up and moved near Ambers's foot. She is still wearing her shoes so I took them off for her. I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and messaged the gang member that they don't need to find her anymore. I told them to just guard the school.

I kicked my shoes off and climb next to her. I pulled her to me by her waist, hugging her, she tensed at first then relaxed in my arms. I circles my arms around her waist and pulled us under the blanket. I looked at my defenseless kitten. She is so small and fragile, it makes me want to protect her from the world, hide her, lock her, and tie her up to me. With those thoughts in my mind, I soon let sleep take over me and drift into a deep sleep.

*************

I woke up and find Amber still sleeping in my arms. It's been a while since  I have slept so well. I have a sleep disorder and whenever I try to sleep I have nightmares related to my childhood incident. I tried every therapy to get rid of it but never succeed but strangely, I feel comfortable around Amber and can relax. This is what it feels like to be in love.

I see some of her bangs over her face and moved the bangs from her face with the tip of my finger. I started playing with her hair. Her hair is so soft and silky. She snickers when I mistakenly brushed her ear and gets closer to my chest, burying her head in my neck.

Cute

Just how cute can she be. I looked at the time on the clock which is placed on the table and decided to sleep a little more.

**********

I wake up at the sudden movement in my arms. I opened my eyes and see my little kitten is moving in asleep. I chucked. It's amazing that after all this time she hasn't woken up once, she must be really tired. I looked at the clock it's already dinner time and we have already skipped lunch, sleeping together not that I am complaining but we should eat something now. I stretched my hand to the nightstand and picked my phone. I messaged someone to bring us dinner and now it was time to wake her up.

"Time to wake up kitten"
