ACE (Interracial Romance) Book #1

Chapter 14

Ason walks through his house quietly and slowly. He tries to avoid everything on the way to his bedroom. But unfortunately someone catches him.

"Where have you been?"

He freezes as the light switches on.

He turns around slowly to see Jaco sitting in the Ottoman. He sighs.

"I was out with someone"

"Who?"

Ason frowns. "Chill out Jake, you aren't my father"

Jaco looks at him suspiciously. "Were you with Valissa?"

Ason's face screws up. "What the fuck Jake? No!"

Jaco stands up slowly and nods his head. "Mhm"

"What the fuck do you want?"

Jaco shrugs. "Just to know where you were?"

Ason glares at him. "If Mickey isn't out here questioning me, then you really don't have any room to question where the fuck I was!" he says angrily.

Jaco really knew how to drive his patience thin.

Jaco smirks. "Just tell me Ace"

Ason growls viciously and angrily. "I was with Joanna"

Jaco's smirk falls. "What?"

Ason runs a hand down his face and exhales deeply.

"What the hell were you doing with her?"

Ason sighs and turns back around. "None of your business"

"Don't do it Ason" Jaco yells after him, "She won't do anything else but destroy you even more."

"Dido!" He calls back.

He walks into his room and looks at the time; 9:40. He should really get to sleep after the long day that he had.

He sighs and decides that he'd rather take a shower in the morning than at that moment. Ason pushes his shirt and pants off then pulls on a pair of sweats.

He didn't want to go through the whole Joanna talk right now with Jaco and the last time he checked he was his own goddamned person. So if he decided to have something to do with Joanna then it was his decision.

Right before he closes his eyes a pretty caramel face with light brown eyes flashes through his mind. He smiles faintly, he needed to do this. He just had to.

Was his last thought before he falls into a deep slumber.

10 hours later Ason wakes up to banging on his door.

"Ason get the fuck up!" he hears Jaco scream through his door.

He rolls his eyes. "Shut up Jaco!" he yells and rolls over to fall back to sleep.

"Mickey says wake up!" Jaco continues to yell. "So wake the fuck up!"

Ason throws the covers off of him and stomps to the door. He swings the door open. "Jaco shut up!" he slams the door in his face and stands there to take a deep breath.

Fuck! Now he was awake! Might as well get dressed.

He walks into his closet to decide on what to wear. He chooses his clothes and starts walking to his bathroom to jump into the shower.

After his shower he stands in front of his vapor covered mirror. He sighs and wipes the gas away. He looked at himself in the mirror and for the second time in two days; he tries to smile.

Still nothing.

He sighs giving up walking into his room to get dressed. He glances over at his clock to see that he had 10 minutes until it was time for him to leave.

He hurries pulling on his black jeans and black combat boots. He walks over to his closet pulling on a zip up hoodie and throwing a jean jacket on over that. He rushes around his room looking for his black beanie. He really needed his beanie. His hair was really in need of a haircut and he just didn't have the time to do it.

He spots it sitting on his nightstand and grabs it. Throwing it on his head and looking at his appearance in the mirror before walking out of his room for the day, grabbing his bag on the way out.

He walks into the living room of his house.

Mickey grins. "Look who's decided he wanted to join everyone else in a normal routine."

He rolls his eyes and sighs. "Shut up Mickey"

Mickey laughs softly grabbing his suit jacket and briefcase. "You riding with me or Jaco?"

"Well you both are annoying so it doesn't really matter" he says shrugging.

Mickey cracks a grin. "C'mon"

He follows Mickey out of the house walking to Mickey's Chevy Impala.

He adjusts the passenger seat until it's all the way back before fitting his lanky 6'4 frame into the girly car.

"Small ass car" he mumbles to himself.

"Long ass legs" Mickey shoots back.

His head snaps in Mickey's direction with a black stare. Mickey sighs and starts the car for their 10 minute ride.

Hopefully this day went by fast and smoothly.
