ACE (Interracial Romance) Book #1

Chapter 15

Valissa gets out of her Jeep Wrangler a little shaky but composes herself and straightens herself out while walking to the entrance with a little more pep in her step. She clears her mind and forgets everything. Her older sister dying slowly, her niece probably having it, the amateur porn that douchebag Cameron decided to make and the Buchanan brothers.

All she was going to care about, today in this moment, was spreading the word about her parties.

She smiles at a few guys for the hell of it and watches as they wink back at her, her outfit made it all the more fun.

She was wearing a black v neck t shirt, tight black and white jeans, and some blue kitten heels. She had decided to scrunch her hair with some hair gel and just let it hang down to her waist for the day.

She really was enjoying her life.

"Lissa!" she hears behind her.

She spins around and turns to see who called her. Jaco. Her smile falters but she keeps it in place. "Jaco! Hi!"

He runs up to catch up to her. "Good morning" he says leaning down kissing her on the cheek.

She didn't know what it was but she didn't like him putting his lips on her all of a sudden. After her dream last night she didn't think she would be able to be in the same presence as him.

Well more like nightmare.

She had dreamed about Jaco and Ason it started out normal and romantic. She was on a date with Jaco and all of a sudden Ason had popped up beside her and was telling her how much he loved her and how strong his feelings for her were and Jaco had done the same thing. So there she stood with the two boys standing in front of her; Ason on her left and Jaco on her right. They had said together:

"So Valissa... what's it going to be?"

She had woken up breathing hard and thinking about the two for the rest of the night.

Jaco must have sensed her hesitant mood because he pulled back with a frown on his face. "What's wrong Liss?"

She forces a smile onto her face. "Nothing!" she waves her hand. "Why would there be anything wrong?" she laughs.

He looks at her weird. "Ok?" he smiles. "Can I walk you to first block?"

She was about to say no but then she remembers that they're supposed to be going steady.

She smiles and nods. "Sure"

He smiles back and reaches for her hand.

She sighs. This day was not going to go swell.

"So how about we go on our date Friday?"

"Friday?" she questions.

He nods.

"This Friday?"

He nods again.

"I can't"

He frowns. "Why not?"

"Because my sister and I along with Ryder are throwing this thing that we made up called a trio-party and my party is Friday."

"Who's Ryder?" he asks jealously.

"My best friends boyfriend!" She didn't think he needed the run down of who Ryder was to her literally.

Jaco nods his head. "And what the hell is a trio party?"

She looks at him. "Starts Thursday ends Saturday"

"Oh" he looks down.

She sighs. "I can ask one of them if they want to switch with me... no biggy."

He shakes his head. "No it's fine"

She rolls her eyes at his whininess. "Don't worry about it Jaco. I'll ask Callissta to switch with me." She puts a smile on her face and looks up at him.

"Ok" he smiles and looks at her.

"Well this is my class. Thanks Jake" she starts walking into her class.

"Wait! Valissa!" he says pulling her back by the arm but not too rough.

Jaco starts leaning down to give her a kiss. Her eyes widen. She didn't wanna kiss him! He wasn't Ason! Her eyes widen more, if that was possible. She shakes her head mentally. No she wanted to kiss Jaco... just not yet!

The bell rings.

She sighs in relief as he pulls back.

She hears him curse and turn to her sadly. "Sorry Lis, I gotta go"

She smiles and nods. "It's fine, Jaco. See you next block" She walks into her class.

Goddammit that was a close call. She did not want Jaco to kiss her. YET! She didn't want him to kiss her yet!
