At the sound of Harper's voice Ace's head spun around so fast both her and Eyeball were surprised he didn't get whiplash.

Harper only managed to take a few steps towards him before Ace himself had flung himself off the bed and practically stumbled into her.

There was no hesitation as Ace grabbed her face in his hands and smashed his lips against hers. Her hands instantly went to his waist as she tried pulling him closer, happy to finally be reunited.

Eyeball took a step back as Ace pulled her even closer as he attempted to stumble backwards onto the bed, with her on top.

"Jeez impatient much.." he mumbled as he turned and walked out, knowing he wasn't getting anything else from either of them.

Their lips weren't leaving each other's for a second as Harper fell down on top of Ace on the bed, the feeling of his hands all over her driving her crazy and causing a fire to start up inside her.

"You came back..." Ace mumbled between attacks on her lips as he flipped her over onto her back.

He settled himself between her legs as they wrapped instantly around his waist, locking him in place as her arms entangled themselves around his neck.

They had just had 70 years between them and now neither were letting 70 millimetres between them.

"Course I came back." Harper managed to reply, ever so slightly breathless.

Ace pulled his lips from hers as he pressed his forehead against hers.

"I thought you'd changed your mind..." he whispered.

The feeling of her beneath him kick started a possessive protective feeling he'd never had before.

Harper shook her head against his. "Never... this is where I belong." She whispered as she gently rested a hand on his cheek. "I belong with you. Always have and always will."

Ace smirked down at her as he said no words but brought his lips down to her jaw and began planting soft kisses, his lips continued to kiss their way down to her neck as he began biting and sucking against her skin.

Harper gasped as her eyes shut instinctively in pleasure, her fingers began softly pulling at his hair.

"And now you belong to me." His deep voice growled in her ear, sending intense shivers up and down her body.

Harper nodded slightly as he kept himself hovering over her.

"So how does it feel?" He asked as he pressed his forehead back against hers, still enjoying the feeling of her fingers playing with his hair.

"I hated staying there. Mum was the one that didn't want me to come back. It was her idea to send you and Eyeball first then stop me from coming by washing away Kiefer's autograph."

Ace clenched slightly as he shuffled about, making sure he wouldn't hurt the girl under him.

"Dad ended up helping me, we found your note and it ended up sending me right back." Harper finished with a smile.

"Yeah Eyeball said he was going to wait at the bar all day. It's funny, today is the first day I actually didn't go." He said with a laugh.

Harper grinned at him as her hand went to his cheek. "Maybe I just knew and wanted to see him first." She said with a smirk.

Ace glared at her. "Oh hell no you don't get to do that."

Harper began to laugh but was silenced his lips returning to hers.

"I'm glad the note worked though." He finally mumbled out as he gently pulled away yet kept his grip on her.

"I never doubted you Ace Merrill."

He grinned down at her. "And now you're stuck here with me."

Harper nodded slowly. "And without my kindle too!"

He pulled a confused face as she grinned. "Little handheld computer to read books on."

"I can get you books if you want books?"

Harper smiled up at him as she quickly pushed him off herself and jumped up. He sat up confused.

"You said I can get books?" She asked with a smirk. "Let's go get me books."

Ace pouted as he looked down at the empty space on his bed before back up at her.

"But I thought we were gonna-?" He started but stopped as he rolled his hands together.

Harper smirked down at him as she shook her head, stepping closer and resting her hands on his shoulders.

"We got plenty of time for that. Books first."

"Oh we got plenty of time?" He asked grumpily as he stood up and went to slip his shoes on. "How long is plenty of time?" He grumbled.

Harper smiled as he came back to her and she slipped her hand in his.

"How does 70 years sound?"

Ace smiled down at her. "It's a start."

Harper and Ace finally headed outside and began walking along the streets, hands entwined as their arms swung together.

Both had never been happier.

Harper finally felt like she was where she belonged.

Ace finally felt like he was genuinely needed, wanted and loved by someone.

Yet neither paid attention to the one girl that glared angrily at the happy couple. How had she completely been brushed aside for some girl that claimed to be from the future?!

She angrily stormed behind them, watching every move they moved and feeling anger rise each time Ace showed her the affection she never received from him.

He'd never cared about wanting to be the doting boyfriend for her but for this strange new girl he was a complete gentlemen.

Though neither Ace nor Harper noticed their female follower, there was someone that had.

Someone who believed himself to be the reason Ace and Harper were finally reunited.

Someone who knew Ace better than he knew himself and found himself feeling Harper as a little sister he'd never had. No he just got stuck with that little shitbag who finally grew a pair of balls to stand up to Ace.

Ace and Harper continued to walk through Castle Rock, completely wrapped up in each other, in their own little world.

Not realising that Betsy was of course following them.

Or that Eyeball was of course following her.
