Falling For Ace

Fourteen

The race started three minutes ago and Ace was first like always. Everyone were cheering, clapping. My eyes followed Ace's black car which crossed the finish line, winning the race. Boyd came in as second followed by some other people I don't know.

The crowd errupted in cheers once again. Ace's name was being shouted as he got out of the car. Mason held my hand and dragged me away from the bleaches towards Ace who was receiving congratulations from everyone.

"I thought you said I'd be watching you win," I spoke, smirking at Boyd who gritted his teeth in anger, "fuck off! Ace cheated!"

"Enlightened me. How did I cheat?" Ace asked, taking a threatening step towards Boyd. Boyd stayed still, "you hijacked the other cars. I'll tell Jason about this and he'll ban you from his club you mother fucker!"

"I believe I'm the one who fucks his mother," the familiar voice of Mr Romano. Ace snorted as the crowd parted away to allow Mr Romano to enter. The other people left as if they were scared of Mr Romano. Everyone walked away except Boyd.

"Hey, dad." Ace shot a grin and a nod at Mr Romano who walked towards him before throwing an arm around his shoulders. He smiled at Ace and Mason, "Hey ma-son," his eyes fell on me and he flashed me a smile, "Ivy! How great to see you again!"

"Great to see you again too, Mr Romano."

"Mr Romano?" He repeated, raising his brows, "what nonsense is that shit?" He walked towards me before throwing an arm around my shoulders like he did with Ace, "you are to call me by my name."

"Okay," I nodded. He looked down at me, "okay what?"

"Okay…" I trailed off, not remembering his name, "what's your name again?" Ace and Mason chuckled as I shot an apologetic look to his father.

His father watched me with amusement filled in his eyes before he replied, "It's Vincenzo but call me enzo or Vince for short. Future father-in-law works too." My eyes slightly widened—I was sure I blushed. I hid my face behind my hair and looked down at my sneakers.

Damn, 'future father-in-law' is bold.

"Ace's cheeks reddened! He blushed!" Mason suddenly shouted making me look up, "I saw it!" Vincenzo chuckled.before unwrapping his arm around me. He then patted my head. I glanced at Ace instantly adverted his eyes, caught looking at me. He ran a hand through his dark hair before clearing his throat, "I didn't blush. I'm just feeling hot because I just finished a race."

"Sure, whatever you say, son." Vincenzo said with a smirk before turning to face Boyd, "so, you called my son a mother fucker."

"Yeah I did, old man." Boyd replied rolling his eyes. Vincenzo let out a dark chuckle before flashing Boyd a murderous gaze. It was like the Vincenzo who was just here was gone; he was replaced with another, a whole different person.

"You know, I could kill you right here, right now and nobody would do anything?" Vincenzo asked furrowing his brows at Boyd.

"I'll have my brother kick you out from his club along with your son and his friend. Only the pretty girl with nice body can stay. You've got a wonderful body, Vy." Boyd winked at me while licking his lips.

"Thanks, grew it myself."

"And her name is Ivy," Ace corrected, shooting a glare at Boyd who smirked, "I'll call her Vy."

"Hey back the fuck away, bro, that's my sister!" Mason clenched his fist to his sides. Boyd, again, rolled his eyes.

"So you were saying that your brother owns this place?" Vincenzo questioned, "what's his name?"

"Jason," Boyd replied proudly.

"Your bro cleans the cars here, dude." Ace said, having enough of his drama, "I own this place."

Boyd scoffed, "lies."

"Are you saying I'm a liar?" Ace's tone was menacing as he took a step towards Boyd, "first, you insulted me, second, you insulted my father, third, my best friend, fourth, you eye raped Ivy and stole my nickname for her and last but not least you called me a liar. Do you have a death wish?"

Boyd let out a laugh while looking at us. When nobody joined him he stopped and cleared his throat, "oh—you're serious."

"Yeah," both Ace and his dad replied at the same time. Boyd flashed them a nervous smile, "I'm really sorry! I didn't mean it! Y'all know I won the award of funniest man in America in 2018? Yeah…I did." He pointed to himself, nervously chuckling, "this guy right here…did."
