The Bad Boy's Band

29

Ace's POV

I gaze at the beautiful lady in front of me.

She glances at me over her barbeque burger with innocent eyes. "What?" Sophie questions.

I smile and shake my head. "You have a little sauce around your mouth."

She puts her burger down and grabs a napkin. "Sorry," she sheepishly smiles. "It is been awhile since I have had one of these."

"Do not apologize for eating, Soph."

"You are right. I should not apologize for eating." She says and grabs one of my fries.

"Seriously?"

"Yep," she smiles and eats it. "I am not apologizing."

I grin and glance around the diner. My grin fades once I see who's here.

"What?"

I turn my attention back to Sophie and shake my head. "Nothing. Do not worry about it."

She narrows her eyes at me and steals another of my fries.

Then the worst thing possible happens.

"Well, look who it is! My favorite person in the world!" Michael exclaims while staring at Sophie.

She glances up at him and rolls her eyes.

"You look great, Sophie."

"I don't need you to complement me, Michael."

"Why not? Complements are good."

"Because her date does not like it when other guys flirt with her." I say and stand up.

"Oh! I didn't know you two were on a date. Maybe another time then."

"What are you and your jerky friends doing here anyway?" Hunter says.

Where the heck did he come from?

Michael raises any eyebrow. "Where did you come from?"

"That is not important," Jaxon answers. "Besides we asked you a question first."

"Yeah!" Hunter exclaims.

"Well to answer your question we came here to eat. Just like everyone else that's here."

"Excuse me, but if there is going to be a fight I am going to ask all of you to leave."

Michael raises his hands in defense. "I am not going to hurt anyone."

"You are too late for that," Sophie says and stands up. She starts walking towards the door and I follow her.

She stands outside of my car and I stand beside her. "I am sorry that this date has turned out terrible. I did not know all this would happen."

She smiles at me. "Who says it is over?"

I grin and kiss her cheek. "Not me." I unlock the car and open the door for her.

Her smile only grows when she gets into my car.

"I'll be right back. I am just going to change first." Sophie says as we stand in my driveway.

"Okay. I will be inside."

"Okay," she grins and takes off towards her house.

As soon as I enter the house, I am met with loud footsteps. Hunter, Jaxon, and Max stop in front of me.

"Details!" Hunter exclaims and I reach down to pet Max.

"Yeah. You were gone quite a long time after you left the diner."

I glance up. "A gentleman never tells."

"Oh come on! Please! I need to know how much my ship is sailing!" Hunter exclaims.

"Okay. Okay. Calm down, Hunter." I chuckle and stand back up. "We went to go get ice cream and then I drove to this look over place. We sat on the hood of my car and just talked."

"Just talked?" Jaxon asks and wiggles his eyebrows.

"Pretty much. We actually have not kissed yet. On the lips on mean."

"Really?" Jaxon asks.

I nod my head.

"I understand that considering that it is Sophie," Hunter says.

The door opens and hits me in the back causing me to almost fall down.

"I heard my name. Why are you guys talking about me?" Sophie says as she steps inside my house. "Did I hit you with the door?" She asks with worried eyes.

"Yeah, just a little. I am okay." I say and stand back up.

She throws her arms around my neck. "Forgive me?"

"Forgiven," I reply and hug her back.

Hunter squeals like a little girl and I roll my eyes. We pull apart and Sophie stares at me. She breaks eye contact and starts pacing. She runs a hand through her hair and then puts her hands on her hips. "Okay. I don't care any more. I am just going to do it." She says and takes long strides towards me.

"What are you-." I start to say but don't get to finish. Warm, soft lips meet mine for an unforgettable 8 seconds.

It takes me a few seconds to recover when   my lips are met with cold air. My eyes slowly open just in time to see Sophie leave my house. I run after her and follow her into her home.

"Sophie! Sophie! Wait!" If anything she runs faster and I groan. "Sophie!"

She finally stops when she ends up in my room. "Did I ruin everything?"

"No. No, you did not Sophie. Why would you think that?" I say and take a few steps towards her.

"Because we are really good friends and I do not want to mess that up but I want you to my boyfriend cause I really like you and you are really hot and nice."

I grin and grab her hands. She looks up at me. "Sophie, will you be my girlfriend?"

"You want to be my girlfriend even when I am wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt I stole from your closet when you weren't there?"

"Yes," I laugh.

"Then yes," she grins.

I kiss her on the lips and pull away. "When did you steal my shirt?"

"Umm." She trails off and turns on her heal. "I am suddenly getting a craving to eat something that you have in your kitchen." She says and takes off.

"Sophie!"
