Ace's POV

I lay on the floor as Trina continues this long as massage that has just turned into her rubbing my back at this point but i don't care since because it takes me away from Mike and everyone giving Sheila and I looks

"So....Ace....what do you do for work" Trina asks and I resist the urge to roll my eyes

"I thought Shelia told you all about me" I say confused and with a bit of attitude

"Well I'd wanna hear it from you....and I wanna know more about you" She says  as I sigh before turning pushing myself up causing Trina to squeal and giggle as she collapses on my back

"Hop off" I say and Trina does as I asked before sitting on the couch, I do the same and face her and my back is to the entrance of the kitchen

"Well...I play football for the WNFL and run and IT business I started in college, only was able to make it here since I have a by week my next game and I'm the boss so I can take a vacation" I say with a small laugh and Trina laughs a little with me

"That's amazing I mean how are you able to do all of that" Trina says as she looks my whole body over

"Well it's difficult obviously but I like a challenge" I say with a small yet proud smile, I'm proud of myself and honestly I don't gloat about my status but I can't help but pat myself on the back a bit

"So do I....I mean I do a bit of work with Shelia which is how we met....who might I add, is going to get a big thank you when I talk to her" Trina says causing me to look at her weirdly

"Why" I ask

"Because she really set me up with someone as fine as you" She says and I smile a bit at the compliment

"Your not bad looking yourself Trina" I say and Trina smiles before coming closer to me on the couch, invading my personal space a bit

I hold in a slight gag as I smell cheap cologne on her that I didn't smell before, who thr hell did she fuck to smell like that

Wait- OH HELL NAH SHE FUCKED MIKE

I cover up my disgust with a smile as she does the same and I watch her eyes move to my lips

"Do you mind if I...sleep in your room tonight" She asks and before I can answer, she looks up causing me to look back and see Mike standing in the doorway

"Hey uh....breakfast is ready" He says in a sad tone and I immediately get up as does Trina

"Thanks Mike....I'll talk to you later Ace" Trina says hurriedly before taking off into the kitchen but I notice her look to Mike with an apologetic look that tells me everything

"Y'all have a good talk" Mike asks me as he crosses his arms and leans against the doorframe, I ball my fists but relax my hand to try and calm myself down

"Yea....she's alright" I say before going to walk past him but he stops me

"If you wanna hit that.....Tell me and I'll help you out" He says and I look at him with disgust before walking past him and into the kitchen where I see everyone talking and laughing

"Oh nice of you to join us Ace" Patricia says sarcastically and I roll my eyes at her playfully

"I got hungry" I say as I walk over to my seat and see Sheila sitting next to it, I smile at her and sit down

She returns my smile and looks away shyly

"I bet you are" Gavin says under his breath and I kick his foot causing him to laugh a little more as does Marcus
