Lie To Me (Urban Story)

Chapter 6

As the months went by, Ace and I became closer. We had went on so many dates that I couldn't keep even keep track anymore. He made everything official when he took me on a romantic candlelit dinner last night and asked me to be his girlfriend. I didn't expect for this all to happen so quickly but part of me couldn't help but be happy it did. After dinner we had both been so tired we decided to just crash at my place. I woke up at the sound of my alarm and the bright morning sun shinning in my face.

"Ace wake up. Remember you said you were going to take me to work this morning?"

"I'm up," He mumbled half awake. "I'm up."

I took a deep breath before reluctantly throwing the covers off of me and went to wash my face and brush my teeth. When I came back into the room, I saw that Ace was still sleeping.

 "Babe," I sat on his stomach and poked him in the chest. "Babe." Still no answer.

"Babe!" He opened one eye and quickly closed it back. "Ace get up, I have to be at work in an hour."

"Just give me five more minutes." He said groggily.

"No. Every time you say that, five minutes ends up turning into thirty minutes."

"Come on, just five." He repeated as he flipped me over on my back and started tickling me.

"Ace stop it!." I said, laughing hysterically. He knows how much I hate being tickled.

"Not until you say please."

"Please?"

"Say please."

"Ace!"

"Okay, okay." He stopped. "Only if you let me sleep for ten more minutes."

"You just said five a minute ago!" Ace put his hands up to begin tickling me again but I put mine out to stop him. "Alright ten, but that's it."

"Thanks baby."

He pecked me on the lips before turning over on his side and falling back to sleep. I decided against the thought of revenge on Ace and hopped in the tub for a quick fifteen minute shower. After I finished, I put on my ruffled white sleeveless button up, black pencil skirt, and black stilettos I went back to the room where Ace was laying on the bed with his hands behind his head watching TV. When he saw me he quickly sat up and turned it off.

"Whoa you look amazing. Are you ready to go?"

"Thanks, and yes. I just have to grab my purse." I said

"You know, I'm going to start having to charge you for all these rides I'm giving you to work." He replied looking at me with a smile on his face.

"Oh yea? And how much are you going to charge me?" I questioned. Ace got up and walked over to where I was standing on the other side of the bed and wrapped his hands around my waist before answering.

"It depends on how much your willing to give me." He whispered in my ear. The warmness of his breath trailed down the side of my neck as he placed a cool kiss at the base of my throat. Oh how I wanted to give it to him all right now, but I couldn't afford to be late to another work meeting again. Last time I woke up over an hour late and missed a very important meeting with one of the designers for one our new collections. Needless to say, Yvonne wasted no time biting my head off when the client left. So I promised myself as well as Yvonne that I wouldn't be late to another meeting. I pulled away from Ace and started digging in my purse.

"Well I only have a dollar twenty-five in quarters. How far is that going to get me?"

"Two minutes up the street." He joked as he grabbed the car keys off the dresser and headed for the door.
