The plan

Chapter 27-Cupid

My phone beeps, and it's a message from Jace.
"We should talk. Wanna meet at the entrance of the beach at 6pm?" -Jace.
I think about it, and decide to meet up with him.
"Sure, see you there."-Aspen.

I glance up at the clock, 5:30pm, and I start getting ready.
I don't feel like dressing up, so I put on white distressed shorts, a pink crop top, and white converse.

I pull out my phone and text Anna,
"Can I borrow your car? Jace wants to meet up and talk." -Aspen.
"Sure, I'm coming over."-Anna.

Soon, Anna walks in, and hands me her car keys.
"What does he want to talk about?" Anna asks.
"Not sure. I feel nervous, should I feel nervous?" I ask.
She shrugs, and helps herself to my fridge.
"Tell me everything that happens." She says.
"Of course." I say.
Anna and I walk out of my apartment, and she goes back to hers.
I get in the car, and drive to the beach.
*******

I park the car, and see Jace waiting by the entrance.
"Hey." I say as I walk up to him.
"Hey, wanna go walk?" He asks while looking back at the beach.
"Sure."

We walk to an empty part of the beach, and we sit on the sand.
"I didn't think you'd want to meet up with me." He says after a while.
I look down, and hold sand in my hands,
"What did we need to talk about?"
He sighs, "I'm sorry, about everything. You were right about Ashley, apparently she does like me like that." He says while looking at me.

"And I should've never ditched you because Ashely needed me. I never thought about how horrible that must've made you feel." He says.

I look at him, and he starts talking again.
"Aspen, I know that you know that I'm an illegal racer."

"You do?" I ask.
He nods.
"How'd you find out?"
"Ryan told me."
"Are you mad that I know?" I ask.
"Well, I didn't want you to know. I didn't even want the public to know. If the paparazzi found out, things would get crazy."
I nod, "I'm sorry for snooping around."
He keeps looking at me.
"It just made me crazy, you know? The guy that I like always leaving with some other girl." I say.

He smiles at me, "'The guy I like?'" He asks while repeating what I said.

My cheeks instantly start blushing like crazy, and he starts laughing.
"I-I didn't mean to say that out loud." I say while looking down.

"Don't be embarrassed. I like you too." He says while looking at me.
I smile at him, and he smiles back.
It's silent for a while.
"So, why do you race?" I ask.

He runs his hand through his hair, "It's what I like to do. My dad practically forced me to take care of the hotel when he retired. Racing is what I like to do." He says.
I keep looking at his deep blue eyes, and I nod.
"Don't get me wrong though, I don't mind running the hotel. But racing is what I chose to do." He says.

"Does your dad know?" I ask.
He shakes his head, "He doesn't approve of stuff like that."

He wraps his arm around me, and I lay my head on his shoulder.
And we stay like that for a while.

"That's so cute!" Anna yells after I tell her everything that happened.
I smile, "I know."
Chase and Ryan walk in, and I stare at Ryan.
He walks over to me, "I'm assuming Jace told you that I told him."
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm not mad. Everything actually worked out good." I say.
He smiles, "This is why everyone calls me Cupid."
"No one calls you that!" Chase yells from the other room.
Ryan rolls his eyes, and we all walk into the living room.
"You know Chase, I can set you up with someone." Ryan says.
"I'm fine, Vanessa and I are getting serious." Chase says.
"I've never heard anything about a Vanessa." Anna says.
"You guys can meet her soon." He says.
We all nod, and my phone beeps.

"I'm taking you out tomorrow night. It's a surprise." -Jace.
