The Truth of Ace

Eleven

Madeline Love

"Sloan...." She shook her head at him

"No, don't speak to me... I'm angry at you! You wrecked my best friend and got her pregnant just to leave her!" Her hands flew in the air in frustration "you have some making up to do Ace, because you cause a lot of emotional damage and distress" her arms crossed as she glared at him

"I'm sorry Sloan" she shook her head

"I'm not the one who deserves an apology, it's your fiancé who deserves one" footsteps follow behind her and Adonis stood confused and then looked to see Ace

"Ace? When the fuck did you get back?" Sloan's face changed in an instant groaning as she grimaced "you weren't crying were you?"

My cheeks flushed as her eyes closed shaking the thoughts out of her head "oh save it I hear you both almost every night!" Her eyes opened wide

"Wait you two are fucking?" Ace asked it as if it was the most casual question ever, but then he seemed to look angry at Adonis

"We aren't fucking Ace, she's my girlfriend"

"Bullshit, break up" I gasped aloud from his words, it was like he wanted Sloan to kill him in his sleep "Ace, why would you say that"

"Because I know Adonis... and I know Sloan" his eyes shifted back and forth from the two "and mostly because I know Adonis" he left the kitchen heading towards the living room

"I'll go talk to him" I mumbled awkwardly walking away from the two as Sloan began to get worked up and Adonis comforted her

I opened the two large oak doors and shut them swiftly behind me "what was that about? Your not happy for them Ace?" He sat by the fireplace staring at the flame shaking his head

"I love Adonis, he's the brother that I never had. But I also know Adonis, he fucks whoever he wants whenever he wants. He's not a relationship person Bellissima" he was stern in the way he spoke, as if he lived through something he hated

I straddled myself in his lap wrapping my arms around his neck using his chest as some pillow "they're adults, it's their business not ours Ace and Sloan's a smart cookie. She won't let him break her, if anything she'd break his heart first" I kissed his left bicep with cloth in between

"I have to go back to Boston soon Ace, I've avoided my mother in her time of grief. She doesn't know I'm pregnant" his lips found my forehead as his hug became tighter

"Okay" he whispered

"I feel like a prisoner here" I admitted what I've kept inside. It was like jail in a way, confined into this home as if I were on house arrest "I want to go home, I want us to raise our child back home not here"

"I'll do my best Bellissima" his hand found my bump again as he gaze down to it

"Do I return the billion you gave me?" He chuckled shaking his head "it's yours" my stomach churned from the thought of it

"I want you to take it back Ace, I didn't work my ass off for that money. It was handed to me, I don't deserve it" he shook his head

"You've worked hard your whole life, I won't accept it back and I'll make it back up in no time" he drew small circles with his thumb on my stomach
