My Bargain With The BadBoy

•• Chapter Nine ••

Chapter nine: Shocker 😬

I was shocked, I didn't return the kiss but Ace didn't drag it out. It was your bog standard kiss. He scanned my face after he pulled away and I couldn't do anything but stare, mouth dropped wide open.

"What?" Was all I could say, I moved backwards laughing and jumping around. I never thought I'd feel like this after my first kiss, it was unusual. I had butterflies in my stomach but I was giddy. In other words, I was freaking out in front of him. I tried to calm myself down, "What..." I said again.

"Well, you dared me to." He said simply. "Your the most attractive to me." I thought for a moment to me? I didn't voice my question.

"Oh okay. I get it. A dare right? Can't back down on that..." I brushed past him and out of the door. All the feeling drained away as I walked back into the kitchen and grabbed another bottle of beer.

"Where were you?" Shannon slurred, jumping on the counter I was leaning on, "Oh yes! You were making out with Ace in the bathroooooom!" She screeched. Everyone looked at me and I fought the blush and shook my head.

"Someone has had a little too much to drink." I helped her off the counter and she fell onto me. "Jeez, didn't any of you try to stop her?" I glared at the boys, they just shrugged. "Of course not..." I spat. Leading her to my room.

Ace walked out of the bathroom and stood in the doorway looking at me. I nodded my head to Shannon and he rolled his eyes, "Need some help?" He asked. I nodded and slumped with Shannons weight. She was heavier than she looked.

"Oooh, you and Ace," hiccup, "Together againnnn," hiccup, "go on, have sex or something! I won't tell anyone!" She shouted. Ace chuckled and shook his head.

He pulled her hair over her shoulder, "She gets like this when she's really, really tipsy. I don't get it, normally the guys will stop her. Ryder especially..." he shook his head, "I'm really sorry Alex." He said.

"Not right now..." I sang, looking at Shannons pale face, "just set her on my bed." Ace did as I said and rested Shannon on the bed. She curled into a ball and snuggled under the blanket I threw on top of her, "Okay Shannon. Will you be alright on your own in here? If you need anything just call me." She made a small noice and pushed me away. I laughed and stood up to leave the room.

"Ace..." she muttered. He answered her and she continued, "I won't tell Alex you think she's cute... don't worry... I ship it though..." soon her bickering turned to soft snores.

I blushed and giggled in the doorway. Ace didn't know what to do with himself, he rubbed his neck and then his face and then put his hands in his pockets. I had to say, I have only just noticed but he is looking real nice tonight; he was wearing a plain black tee with a check shirt over it. His top was tucked into his black skinny jeans secured by a leather belt. He cleared his throat and I shrugged.

"She's drunk right, she gets like that." I said simply and hurried out the doorway, barely noticing how tipsy I myself was. I stumbled into the kitchen where the boys were clearing up. "Need any help?" I offered but they just shrugged me off.

I sighed and left the room, making my way to he sofa, "Hey Alex..." Ace said, standing over me, "Shannon wasn't just saying what she said... I told her in confidence." Before I could reply, he just walked off. Oh. My. Gosh.

Does Mr Ace Whitely have a crush?
