Show Me The Way To Your Heart (Pentagon Series Book III)

Let Us Bring The Merrill's (part II)

Ana burst in tears, it's not her plan to cry over at Ace and Alex but she's filled with her emotions. She's worn with what had happened between her and Johnny and she can't speak to anyone. If she told Josh about Johnny and what is happening to them Josh might do something drastic and she doesn't want those brothers to have a misunderstanding because of her.

"I'm sorry" Ana apologize, she wipes her tears, Ace gave him the box of tissue. "Thank you" Ana said as she took one piece on the box and wipe her tears.

"What happened?" Josh asked.

"We did it, you know..." Ana starts the story in between gentle sob. "I dreamt that moment, me on Johnny's arms, and it happened twice."

"Isn't it good?" Alex is confused "I mean if it happened why you are crying, you wanted that to happen right?"

"Yeah I do" Ana begun to cry again.

"So...what's the problem?" Ace is really anxious; Ana would have not been crying if things turn out the way she wanted.

"We did it first when Josh and Ely married." Ana is sobbing. She breathes hard to calm herself.

"Yeah I was there" Alex cuts her so she can compose herself "You two left together."

"They left together?" Ace is surprised, he didn't attend Josh's wedding, Alex insisted but he refused even as his wife escort.

"Don't act surprised" Alex struck her husband arm and opened her eyes widely "I told you that don't you remember?"

Ace is really confused, so he turned to Ana and asks "And what happened after you two left together?"

"He was so drunk; I took her to my place because he doesn't have his house key." Ana continue with the story in between slight sobs "And you know, it just sort of happened, he told me I was beautiful then he kissed me and he said he wanted me, and I'm aware he's drunk but Johnny...he took me that evening like he's not drunk...I don't know... maybe I wanted to think he's not but he was so gentle and so loving and..." Ana blows her nose and continues "And then the next morning he doesn't remember anything, he even talked to me on the set the next day and asked what really happened." Ana begin to cry again.

"What a d*ck!" Alex exclaimed.

"And what did you tell him." Ace wanted to know what happened so he can analyze things perfectly.

"Johnny pretends he remembered..." Ana stopped when Alex interrupts her.

"I thought you said Johnny didn't remember?" Alex is confused, but Ace gave him a warning look saying 'Could you let her finish' Alex prevents herself to smile broadly, Ace gave her the same look when she become impatient and interrupts him when they're talking and she don't let him finish first.

"Well he doesn't but he pretends he is." Ana raise her voice a little she took a deep breath and said "sorry" afterwards she continue "I was...he was..." Ana didn't know how to say she was pure when Johnny took him that evening.

"You're what?" Ace and Alex said together.

"I was a virgin and..." Ana saw the surprised look on both Ace and Alex face, before neither Ace nor Alex can utter a word she stop them "Don't!" Ana warned Ace and Alex "If you laugh I swear to God..."

"We are not laughing" Ace composed himself while he squeezed Alex's hand so her wife would act normal. "Go ahead, what happened next." Ace asks.

"And that's what he wanted to know, he pretends he remembered but the truth is he doesn't and he's just curious why I was you know..." Ana is uncomfortable.

"Virgin" Ace and Alex said in unison.

"It's a choice alright." Ana depends herself.

"What?" Alex teases her with a smile "We are not judging."

"Can we go back to the pressing issue please?" Ana pleads.

When she sees the couple didn't want to argue Ana continue "I told Johnny that I won't oblige him into anything, being him as my first is not really a big deal. What happen happened and that's it."

"And?" Ace want more, somehow he is not convinced that the story just ends there.

"And then we never talked again, we worked on the set together and it seems like I don't exists." Ana's voice begin to quavered again "I convinced myself we are not meant to be together and I'm ready to forget Johnny and move on with my life then the other night..." Ana cried again as she says the word "He came to my house drunk and we did it again."

"Oh boy!" Ace said with pity, Alex rush alongside Ana and gently stroke her back.

"I know I am being stupid, making love to a drunken man twice and I don't know what to think anymore." Ana explained herself more to the couple.

"Hey, it's not fault, you are in love with this man." Alex tried to comfort her.

"Hush baby" Ace caress her hands "Alex is right, when you love a person you tend to do stupid things, and there is no one can explain why we do such things." Ace explained as he tried to calm Ana "Remember how I end up with my wife?" Ace mentioned their story hoping that it would help Ana to grasp some reasons why she can do such thing for love.

"I'm not a fan of your decision but yeah I remember?" Ana answered Ace.

"Exactly my point" Ace exclaimed "I mean, I was lucky Alex fell for me and I didn't end up in prison but I made decisions and my actions are radical and extreme." Ace delivered a shameful tone "but I never regret it you know." He smiled at Ana.

"Because things went well between you and Alex" Ana sulk.

"Even if things didn't end up the way I wanted I would have never regretted it" Ace said proudly "and if time turn back and things between me and Alex happen again, I will do exactly the same thing, because I love her."

"I don't regret what happened between me and Johnny" Ana said "It's just that...I don't understand why I am doing this, why I let myself put in a situation where I know it will only lead to my sufferings, I happen to be very smart but when it comes to Johnny I became dumb." Ana scoffs.

"Because you are in love" Alex responds suddenly "I happen to be very smart also but look at me, I chose to stay and suffer with your best friend here because I love him." Alex delivers her tender smile at Ana.

"Hey, I am the one who is suffering here!" Ace said and pretends he's complaining "Did you know that I'm still courting her." Ace points at his wife while he talks to Ana "I mean, we've been married for years and I'm still courting her. So I am the one who is suffering and not you." Ace pointed at his wife again.

Ana laughs softly, "I'm so sorry I have to cry and tell you my ill feelings again, I really am embarrassed" Ana gazed at Ace "every time I come and see you we talked about my problems and that's embarrassing."

"Hey, there's no reason to be embarrassed, that's why I'm here. It's my job!" Ace teases Ana "Kidding aside, you did the same thing to me...every time, and I believe that's what friends are for right?" He winks at Ana.

Ana smiled and she took both of their hands and said "Thank you guys."

They parted ways, Alex promised she and Ace will attend the "Relentless" premiere.
