His Villainess

CHAP. 12

Hello Roses. Hope y'all are doing good. Here's another chapter. Enjoy!

Xalia's pov:
Ace was coming over today for 'answers' which I personally think he doesn't need. But to calm his tits I'll just give him what he's on his way for so that he'll leave me alone.

I heard a knock on my door and immediately knew it was him.

"Well you're here early"I said with a smug look on my face."You can start talking and don't leave out any details." He wasn't wasting time. I folded my arms and sat on my bed. "So what  do you wanna know? It's not like I'm going to tell you everything if that wasn't obvious."

"Start from the site."

"When you ignored me after whatever the reason, I decided to use that in my advantage. I wasn't necessarily mad at you, maybe. But I had to make you mad at me a little bit eventually just so you couldn't stop me from what I'd planned. So I waited till the day I'd execute my plan. I made them fight without any heads up and did THAT to myself to make them believe that they got me. I turned myself in just to go see someone who'll help us out. You don't need to know who they were but they booked me the flight here and bought me clothes to wear in the mean time" I said, smiling at the last part as my thoughts went back to Mitri.

"What's made you smile like that?" he asked, snapping me out of my thoughts."It's none of your business.Anyway I'm going downtown for a party. Wanna come with?"

"Sure. What time?" He seemed interested."I'll text you the time. You may leave." I said while getting up from my bed."Why? It's not like you're doing anything of much importance." He's so annoying.  "A shower is important. Now shoo!"  I forced him to stand from the couch in my room and pushed him out of the door. I slammed it shut and went straight for the shower when his voice stopped me.

"Hey! My phone's still in there!" he yelled from outside. I groaned in annoyance as I grabbed his phone to give it back to him. I opened the door, handed him his stupid phone and shut the door again. I went back to the bathroom for the shower I absolutely needed.

It was at about 8 pm when Ace knocked on my door. "Come in!"I yelled from the bathroom to hear him open the door. I felt his presence behind me as I continued putting on my makeup. "You look good today." he voiced out. "So I don't look good on other days?" I asked, just to provoke him, glancing at him through the mirror.

He rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Actually, you looked way hotter when you were all dirty and bloody at the site ." I stopped what I was doing, put my brush and highlighter down and turned to look at him. He had this cheeky smirk on his face as he folded his arms, leaning on the doorframe. My tongue poked the side of my cheek as I stared at him in disbelief. "If I were you, I'd run far and never look back". He just hummed and looked down at me. His tall ass was not moving or showing any intention to. Welp, at least I warned him.

Swiftly, I jumped on him and made us fall on the heated floor. I tickled him as I sat on his stomach without adding any pressure on his defined abs under his shirt. He laughed so hard that he had tears in his eyes.

Without any warning, he flipped us over and that was when I realized I lost. I had been stabbed and shot and beaten up to the point I was used to it but the only thing I feared was being tickled. I was a very ticklish person. He straddled me as I laughed until I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Stop stop stop stop. ACE STOP!" He didn't listen to me and instead tickled me more. " Stop or I'll pee on myself!"I struggled to say in between laughs. I caught his arms and laughed as his eyes met mine. They were all joyful and filled with mischief that, in a way, brought me some kind of happiness. I smiled and he smiled back making my heart feel overwhelmed. I had never felt this way before. It was a beautiful feeling that I wished it would last forever.

He looked down at my lips and I glanced at his. He leaned down to kiss me and I was ready for it, almost impatient actually. I had butterflies in my stomach and wanted this to happen to me. I never wanted someone to kiss me so bad until that moment. I just couldn't wait any longer. Our lips were less than an inch away from each other when my phone rang.

The anger and irritation that I had in me never felt so raw. I was ready to go to that person's house and skin them alive for ruining our moment. It wasn't like I liked Ace but I just loved the way I felt around him. I felt free and alive with emotions like a normal human being.

With a sigh, Ace got off of me and helped me up. I went up to my bed, picked my phone and felt my anger die down a little bit when I saw the caller id. I answered the call and a smile instantly made its way on my face.

" Milyaya. How are you? Why didn't you call me when you arrived?"His voice through the phone was calling to me. "I've been well and I've been busy", I played with my fingers as I blushed talking to him. "Busy sleeping", I heard him say lowly which made me giggle like a lovestruck teenager. Ace cleared his throat and looked at me with eyes that clearly showed disgust. (From author: Imagine Ace with the Hyunjin side eyes......)

I looked away and talked to him for a while before ending the call. I tossed my phone back on my bed and looked back to see Ace sitting on the couch with his eyes fixed on me.

"Who were you talking to?"he asked with his voice stern and eyes dark. "Oh just a friend of mine. Why?" If you can't tell, I was playing dumb. He cocked his head to the side and had this grin that made me feel uncomfortable. He stood up and approached me slowly as I moved back. My knees wanted to give out when my legs hit the edge of my bed.

"Xalia my love. You can say whatever you want but that doesn't mean I believe you. I'll ask you one more time, who were you talking to?"He cupped my face as he said that. My heartbeat raced as I looked into his grey eyes which were dark and held intimidation. I've never feared anyone but he made me feel different.

"I was talking to the person who got me this room. I was just updating him on how it went and everything",I gulped as these words left my mouth. My breathing became ragged and I closed my eyes when his face neared mine."Who is he?"he said emphasizing on the 'he' part.

His breathe was brushing over my lips when my phone rang again. Thank the heavens! I quickly pulled away from Ace and picked it up to answer it.

"Yo Dre what's up?" It was Andre, one of my best friends who were attending the party. "Hey Lia. Are you coming? You better be or else I'll come to whatever hotel you're staying at and drag your ass out." I chuckled and said that I was attending it. We caught up a little bit before he asked me an interesting question.

"Oh by the way are you racing tonight?"he sounded really optimistic as if he didn't know the answer already. "Of course I am you big head. Why else would I be attending the party anyways?"I said it in a matter-of-fact manner which earned me a heartly laugh from him. "I mean you could be coming to see us. We missed your ass but don't tell em I said that, especially Ice". He sounded scared at the end which made me laugh.

"Don't worry I won't tell em....maybe. I'm almost done getting ready so would you mind getting my car?" I asked as I went to the bathroom to add freckles on my face, putting my phone on speaker. "Yeah sure. But which car do you want specifically?" "Umm I think either the Ferrari LA Ferrari Or the Hell Cat. I'll let you pick one of the latter" I said as I finished up my makeup and sprayed on the setting spray. "Ok. See you there you dumb mongoose" he said with a smile clear in his voice. "See you big head",I replied while laughing. He cut the call right on time when I was ready to go.

It was now 10 pm and the party was starting at 11. The race would most likely start at 11.30 meaning Ace and I had more than enough time to get there. I left the bathroom and found Ace on his phone seated on the couch. "Ace I'm ready. Let's go". I took my keys and already prepped bag and headed for the door. "Well you do have a lot of phone calls. Are you sure you won't get another one?" He had a bored expression on his face showing that he wasn't exactly happy with Dre and Dimitri. "Yes I'm sure. Now let's go".

I grabbed his arm and talked with him to the door. We left the hotel and headed for the party that I was the most excited for.

Hey Roses. I know it's been a minute but I'll try. I hope I'll manage to update more in the coming days before I go back to school.
