Stolen glances, secret smiles, silly notes in class, flushed cheeks and butterflies in your tummy, those were the recipes for being in a relationship with someone you had feelings for and hid it from the world.
Not necessarily from the world though, Luke was aware and Alex was aware too. Luke had walked in on me straddling Ace the night before he was supposed to leave for Boston. My parents weren't home and I had forgotten Luke was home, you know what happened next.
Luke wasn't angry, just warned Ace not to try shit with me otherwise he'd have him dead in the blink of an eye. Ace replied with an affirmative, promising not to hurt me.
The next day, I had sneakily gone over to Ace's and Alex walked in on Ace placing a small kiss on my lips. He acted all cool with it and made a remark about being careful and to always use protection.
My cheeks felt like they were on fire that day and I was sure Ace felt the same way too because his face was red. Ace and I had never talked about having sex, we hadn't even gotten past the making out stage and on that stage, we hadn't gone far, talk less of sex. We were still at the beginning of the relationship, I was still not used to being someone's girlfriend.
The air was awkward for the remaining hours I spent at their house and when I had gone home, Ace sent me a text to apologize for his brother's awkwardness. I waved it off saying it was fine and after that things were normal.
It has been two weeks and I was utterly frustrated. At times I'd almost wave at Ace or walk towards him in the hallways but I'd quickly recover myself. When my friends would say nasty stuffs about Ace I'd almost defend him but I'd seal my lips shut immediately.
I was starting to ask myself if I was okay with pulling this off without running mad. How much longer did we have to hide us?
Walking down the hallways I noticed a poster for a school play: Othello. Audition was today and apparently seniors were expected to participate.
Shrugging I walked to my locker and opened it, getting to my business. My phone chimed in my pocket of a text so I fished it out and read it.
Ace- wanna have lunch together?
I looked around the hallway for him but didn't find him. I typed my reply.
