I'll forgive when I forget ✔️

Chapter Two

*** Ryan on the side!***

Alex POV:

Ace? Of course! How could I forget him. The Greek god I met when I was with HIM.

***Flashback (Junior year of High School)***

It was a normal Friday. School was out and I was busy serving tables at our local diner called 'Bettys'. The owner is super sweet and is very considerate but, don't get on her bad side. I was wearing my uniform which consisted of a blue t-shirt that says the name and blue jeans with my converse. My shift just started and already people were piling in.

"Alexa, can you hurry up." My friend Ryan yelled out to me across the room playfully. I chuckled and grabbed my notepad after securing my apron around my waist.

"Yes Ryan, how may i help you?" I asked in the most sarcastic voice I could muster with a playful grin on my face. He likes to come here everyday after school and bring girls but, personally I think he just likes annoying me.

He smirked and replied, "Is that how you treat all your boyfriends pookie?" He squeezed my cheek and talked in a baby voice. No, he is not my boyfriend, but he seems to think that a lot. This boy is one of my childhood best friends, the other being Amanda.

"Mhm, of course sweetie pie. Do you not like it?" I put up my best pouty face and we both couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing.

"Anyways snookum, I'm meeting a friend here so be on your best behavior so you don't scare him off, got it?" He said playfully

"So we are shooting for the other team now are we sugar bear? " I winked at him, "You bad boy."

"Oh no sweetie pie, I got to much to offer for that." He replied smoothly.

"Whatever you say pookie wookie, so two cokes?" I asked to get this conversation over with and let me return to work. He just nodded and started texting on his phone as I walked away.

When I came back, true to his word, another guy sat across from him. I only saw the back of his head though as I walked up to bring them the cokes but, one look at this Greek god and I was about to fall to my knees. His features were perfect. His blue eyes and dark hair matched his face perfectly and all I could think of was how badly I wanted him. All of him. For me and only me.

Then I realized I was completely staring at him and holding there drinks. Ryan started laughing at the weird moment and so did the Greek god. I just put down their drinks and started blushing uncontrollably. That was so embarrassing.

Before I could rush off a hand grabbed my wrist and I turned around quickly trying to ignore the sparks flying from his touch. The Greek god was staring at me with a smile and he seemed apologetic. "My names Ace sweetheart." I nodded like a freak and was about to walk off again when Ryan decided to open his big annoying mouth. "Ace, don't call her sweetheart! She's mine! Ain't that right pookie?" Oh gosh. Does he have to start this now. Instead of staying in my dazed state, that seemed to have fixed me back. Because suddenly i said, "of course sugar cube." With a smirk and wink. Then I walked off to contain myself and my weird sudden urges. Ace sure as hell didn't fit him as much as Greek god did.

Ryan and Ace were still here talking endlessly as my shift was about to end. Just like every day, I don't want it to end. It means HE would be showing up to get me. My fears started to rush up my spine and as soon as I clocked out I froze. My breathing became more rigid and I kept taking deep breaths and walked out of the kitchen. There HE was. Standing beside Ryan and Ace. They were all laughing talking about typical boy stuff most likely so I walked up beside HIM. Because I knew that's what HE would want.

There laughing came to a stop and HE turned to me. The smile still placed on HIS face and he pulled me in for a hug. "Hey, babe. I missed you so much today." He picked me up and twirled me around. That brought a smile to my face as well and he leaned down giving me a gentle kiss on my lips. I love moments like these with him. Where he's in a good mood. "Hey Ace, this is my lovely girlfriend Alexa. I'm sure she can show you around at school tomorrow since Ryan and I will be at football practice. You should join by the way. Our team could use a guy like you." Ace laughed out loud and jokingly said, "how many boyfriends do you have?" All laughing stopped.

Ryan had a look of fear and regret. I'm sure you could see the fear on my face too. "I'm sorry. What?" HE said scary calm. I gulped and tried to pull away but his hands tightened on my forearms. "Blake. He's joking. " I said seriously because Ace was looking at his hands squeezing my forearms. He looked up at Blake and said, "yeah it was a joke. Let go of her arms." Instead of the playful tone he had before, it was now threatening. Blake tightened his hold making me squeak from the pain and close my eyes. I walked into him and gave him a hug trying to calm him down. I went up to his ear and whispered, "It was a joke babe. It's only you. I'm only yours Blake." He removed his hands from my arms and moved them around my waste squeezing me to him. I pushed my face into his chest inhaling his scent and tried to hold back the tears I knew were to come once we were alone. Dammit Ace. He was in a good mood.
