Finding Love

Chapter 7

This week has been nothing but hectic.

Me and Ace have been meeting up regularly for tutoring classes in the public library.

Ace hasn't been rude or tried to kill me, which is definitely an improvement if you ask me.

I had decided to come earlier than our decided time for tutoring to the library as I had a paper to do.

"Did you fall from the heavens or what?" A husky voice asked from behind.

I turned around to see one of the most breathtaking guys I've ever laid eyes on.

My breath hitched and my heartbeat spiked as my eyes drank in his hotness.

His sexy mop of dark hair was messed up and he had hazel eyes with the longest lashes ever and dimples as he grinned down at me.

Oh my god.

"No, I crawled up from hell." I smirked, trying to appear confident in the presence of this hotness.

He looked at me surprised that I hit him back with a comeback.

"Maybe thats why your so hot." He smirked at me.

My jaw dropped at his words. I so did not expect that.

He smiled down at me. Oh my god, that smile. Oh my god, those eyes.

I smiled back at him, dreamily.

"Uh-huh." My attention drifted to the male specimen Ive been tutoring for the past week as he cleared his throat.

I turned around to see him glare. The kind of glare which could pierce your soul and rip you apart slowly, painfully.

But his glare wasn't directed to me, It was directed to the hottie I've been talking to.

"Ace." Mr.Hottie nodded and glared back at Ace.

"Ashton." Glared Ace.

So that was his name.

I smiled up giddily at Ashton.

"I'll catch you later, Noelle." Ashton said as he bid me adieu.

I looked at the exit of the library staring at his retreating figure.

He turned around as if he sensed me staring at me and winked.

He freaking winked at me.

My cheeks turned fifty shades of red.

Ace cleared his throat and I looked at him confused as he glared me down.

What crawled up his ass and died?

"What?" I asked.

"Someone has a crush." Ace said with a teasing grin.

"No, I don't." I said turning to him and sticked my tongue out.

His eyes soften.

"Stay away from him." Ace said with a weird glint in his eye and a frown adorning his face.

"But why?" I asked, curious as hell.

"Coz I said so." He said.

"That's not fair." I huffed.

"Life isn't fair, Baby." He smirked at me.

That riled me up.

"I'll do whatever the hell I want." I said.

"No, you wont." He said.

"Watch me." I said and walked out of the library pissed as fuck.

Deciding to let off steam by walking back home, I went into Starbucks to get a cappuccinno and clear my head.

Now that I think about what just happened, I Laughed out loud.

What the hell was wrong was wrong with me?

I giggled at my stupidity. I just walked out on Ace, Bad boy and player because I was stubborn. I laughed again gaining a few weird glances here and there.

Deciding to head back to the library to retrieve my stuff, I phoned Ace.

"Yeah?"

"Umm -Its Noelle." I said awkwardly.

"Yeah,cool. Look, Im sorry but yesterday meant nothing to me but if you wanna stay over-"

"Ewwww. Gross." I said disgusted at his player ways.

"Just kidding, Ella. Just kidding." He said and I could almost feel the teasing grin on his face.

"So are you still there?" I asked Unsure.

"Yeah." He said.

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay." I replied wanting to get the last word.

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay." I said and hung up before he could say another word.

When I finally reached the library, I found him playing subway surfers on his phone so I slapped his head from the back and he jerked forward causing his character in the game to crash and he muttered a very colourful string of words and threw a glare at me.

I smiled at him innocently. The sickly sweet kind.

"You." He accused pointing his finger at my face and growling.

"What?" I asked with a confused look plastered on my face.

"Nothing." He said and shut his phone.

"Okay, I'll meet you tomorrow?" I asked as I headed out to the door.

"Yeah.Yeah." He said and resumed playing on his phone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me and Ashton have grown close in the past week. We would meet up early in the library before Ace's tutoring classes and chat. He always managed to make me blush and laugh. It was an undeniable that I crushed on him big time. We exchanged numbers and texted each other almost all the time. I always managed to have an ugly fangirl look on my face when I thought of him. Just thinking about him made me smile. We were in the friends stage and I desperately wished we could be more. But at the same time I knew be would walk away, away from me. Everyone always did. Shaking off the bad thoughts I concentrated on teaching Ace.

My eyes turned to the side to see hazel eyes staring at me. I blushed and looked down.

Ace stared at me and asked me "What?"

I shook my head and continued teaching him till our session time was over. I got up and noticed Ashton coming over to me.

"Hey." He said giving me his adorable boyish grin.

"Hey." I said and smiled back at him.

"Do you want a ride?" He asked and ran a hand through sexy mess of dark hair.

"I - "

"I'll take her. She lives in the neighbourhood." I turned my head to the side shocked at what Ace just said.

"Huh -" I started only to cut off again.

"Actually, I was asking the Lady here. If you don't mind." Ash said and glanced at me before returned to the piercing glare competition between him and Ace.

Seriously?

Huffing, I walked out ignoring the two and when I reached outside I looked into the library to see both boys staring at me so I decided to be a little dramatic and flipped my hair and blew them a kiss before jogging home.
