Let's Fake It Moonshine - Ace Merrill

Park!

Ace shuffled up so Luna could sit beside him in the booth. Ava was still sat happily on his lap as Aiden was occupied with Billy and Charlie.

They were soon conned out of their money too.

"Please tell me you didn't order two of every milkshake again?" Luna groaned out as she looked at Ace.

Ace shook his head. "I didn't order two of every milkshake again."

Ava happily clapped her hands on his lap. "He ordered five of every milkshake!" She squealed with excitement.

Luna's mouth dropped as she followed where Ava was pointing.

Two waitresses brought over a tray each, completely covered in milkshakes.

"Dibs!" Lexi shouted as she reached out and swiped a banana one as Charlie grabbed two straws.

"Mine!" Connie shouted as she reached out and took a strawberry one just as Billy took a chocolate one.

The pair shared a small glance as they clinked their glasses together before placing their straws inside.

Luna sat and watched as the rest of their groups dove on the milkshakes. Vince and Jayme began fighting over the last vanilla one as the group watched Jayme dive her fingers into the cup, scoop up the ice cream and flicked it straight at Vince.

Everyone instantly burst out laughing as he quickly retaliated, except she managed to dodge it as it hit Lexi.

In 5 minutes a full blown out war had been declared.

In 5 and a half minutes the large group all sat in a row outside the diner, covered in milkshake, having been kicked out.

"Well that was fun." Eyeball sighed out as he licked some of the strawberry milkshake off his arm.

Luna brought her hand up as she wiped the cream off her face.

"Tastes good though." She mumbled as she licked it off her fingers.

"You're a bitch you know that right?" Ace asked by her side as he couldn't stop looking at her licking the cream from her fingers.

Luna laughed and nodded as Ava, still on Ace's lap looked up between them.

"Why?" She asked curiously.

"We'll tell you when you're older sweetheart." Jayme mumbled from her spot next to Ace as she gently patted Ava's head, wiping away some of the caramel sauce.

"So what now?" Fuzzy asked as he quickly grabbed Jack's top to wipe his face, earning a smack.

"Park!" Aiden said happily as he jumped up and raced in front of Ace.

Ace sighed as he now remembered just how much energy these two had.

Ava instantly leapt up and began jumping about with her brother as Ace finally stood and turned to look down at Luna.

He offered his hand out to her and she accepted it without hesitation, letting him pull her up as their eyes locked.

Ace gently slide his fingers between hers as he squeezed her hand tightly. The pair shared a small smile as they slowly began walking after the twins, connected hands gently swinging between them.

"Are we seriously going to the park?" Lola somewhat grumbled as she was pulled up by Eyeball.

"Bet you a drink I can go higher on the swings than you." He scoffed down at her.

She glared up at him. "You're on Chambers."

Ace kept squeezing Luna's hand tightly as they walked along, just behind the twins skipping ahead from them.

"Where did you go with Eyeball anyway?" He asked curiously.

Luna shrugged and shook her head. "Call it one last couple blowout."

Ace gave her a small glare as she laughed and shook her head.

"Actually I'd say more knock out." Luna laughed again.

Ace's grip tightened as his eyes were distracted. Luna followed his gaze as a smile came to her face.

"They don't call me Merrill for no reason." She smirked out as they saw Betsy storming along the street, her nose now bandaged up as bruises were already forming around her eyes.

Ace realised where Luna had gone with Eyeball as he laughed and tugged her closer, he let her hand go to wrap an arm around her waist. "I fucking love you."

Luna looked up at him and smiled. "I should hope so, or my boyfriend back there will beat your ass." She teased, nodding behind them, knowing Eyeball was following with the rest.

Ace growled at her as he brought his lips down to hers, stopping her laughter with a kiss.

*****

"Sweetheart..." Luna's dad called out as he looked down at the unconscious body of Theodore on their living room floor.

His wife walked in and stopped as she saw him too.

"Do I even want to know anymore?" He asked with a sigh.

Luna's mother shrugged. "Just get him out of here, I never liked him anyway." She waved a hand as she walked out.

"Whatever happened to that guy asleep on her bed that night with the twins?!" Her dad shouted as he grabbed Theodore's arms and began to drag the guy out the house.

"Beats me! He was a looker and a half though!" Luna's mother shouted back from the kitchen.

Neither had a clue that they would see that guy that was asleep on her bed that night with the twins.

They'd see him that evening when Luna would bring him home to formally introduce her new boyfriend, John Merrill.
