Ace

    The dinner last night went well, I guess ignoring Victoria helped. Besides, Madison really prepared for that, I don’t want to ruin it. It’s already 9PM when they left, and after I send them out, I just saw her already sleeping on the couch. She must be tired.

In the morning, I was wakes up by a finger running through my hair. Slowly opening my eyes, a beautiful lady comes first in my view.

"Oh, did I wake you up? Sorry." She said about to pull her hands away but I hold it.

"Keep doing that." I said with my raspy voice making her chukle as she continue to play with my hair. "Good Morning."

She seems shocked at first but soon smile and peck my lips "Morning."

"How's your sleep?"

"I don't know, I just woke up but I feel so tired. Maybe I'm hungry." She mumbled as she rub her nose. "Do you smell something weird?"

"Huh? What kind of smell?" I asked curiously as I brought my hands up and removed the strand of her from her face.

"I don't know too, something weird."

I was about to kiss her when I realized something. Craving for the food she doesn't like, gaining weight on her tummy, and now, this?

I don't want to think of anything negative but how. We met just a month and 2 weeks, and before that, she's a party girl. 

"Can I ask you something?" I said softly as she stared in my eyes while nodding her head with a smile. "When– When was the last time you had sex with someone?"

"What kind of question is that?" She rolled her eyes at me as she let go of me and sat up just beside me.

"Just answer me. Have you gone to any one night stand?" I may sound dumb for asking but I can't just act like there's nothing wrong.

For the past few weeks, she's been eating alot, and the week before this, she keeps on saying that she feels tired even though she didn't do anything.

"Ace, what are–"

"Just answer me, sweetheart."

She just looked at me first before letting out a tired sigh. "I did, but you also did, didn't you?" she sounded worried now. It's still early in the morning.

"Of course I did, I'm not saying anything. I just wanna know when was your last time?"

The worried face on her suddenly turns into a confused one, "I don't know, a month before our wedding? I'm really sorry, I know I'm already engaged so I shouldn't be doing that but I was drunk that time. I didn't even remember who the guy was. Ace, please–"

Tears already appeared in her eyes showing that she's really guilty about it, but it's not her fault. Even me, I did have some one night stands while we're engaged.

"I'm not saying anything, calm down, I'm just asking." I said as I held her hands. "Come here." Pulling her back in my chest, I wrapped her in my embrace before kissing her forehead.

"Uhmm– your perfume– it smells weird." She suddenly said while trying to get out of my embrace.

"I'm not wearing any perfume."

"Just go take a bath, It's making my head ache. Please, just take a bath."

Looking at him weirdly, now she's just giving me more reason to suspect her. Not actually her, her behavior. 

"Okay, I'll take a bath."

"Good, I'll go make our breakfast." She said, planting a soft kiss on my lips before going to the bathroom for her morning routine.
