Interrupted Heart

4 | BOUNDARIES CROSSED

"Why did you kiss me back earlier?" I scrunched up my face whipping my head in his direction. Ace was lying on my bed with one hand in his tracksuit bottoms, lazily staring at me.

"Why did you kiss me earlier?" I shot back, "Stop playing for real, Ace. Why did you kiss me?"

We had just returned from the club and I was packing a small bag to take with me to Shae's house. It was already 4 in the morning and Ace was doing a good job at being a distraction.

"Did you like it?" I heard his body move and I lost track of what I was even doing.

My over thinking of the situation made me fold the same pair of shorts repeatedly. 

"That's not the point, Ace. I have a boyfriend!" I started to become annoyed at this conversation although it had just started.

"A boyfriend who doesn't know how to respectfully talk to his woman. Don't think I didn't know what he was saying to you today, okay? I know how he talks to you every time I'm around you two. Kim Possible does not have shit on me." A thin line of sweat formed on my forehead and I hoped it was from the alcohol.

I wonder if Tyson had noticed Shae's encounter with me also. In all honesty, if he knew what went on sometimes, he would have shut down any relationship that I had with Shae and put on his 'big brother boots'. However, I knew better than to say anything.

"I'm done talking about this." Ace appeared in front of me and took the shorts from my hands.

"Why? Don't like hearing the truth?" I let out a long breath through my nostrils and snatched the shorts back from him hands. If he was trying to wind me up, he was doing an amazing job at accomplishing that. He grabbed the shorts back and threw them across the room. I gave him a look that said, 'Boy, do you want to die?'

"Come and lie with me for a minute." He took my hands in his, guiding me to my bed. Making me lie down first, he placed his head on my bosom wrapping his arms around me.

The motion of Ace bouncing around trying to get comfortable caused a headache beginning to generate. I started to question whether my liver was still intact from my alcohol consumption. We were both one drink away from being smashed. It had been a while since I'd had more than a small glass of wine and I appreciated the night out although where I was heading next would ruin it.

"I miss this." I looked down at Ace bundled up like baby. He looked cute whilst being half dead and this felt so right.

"Miss what?" I ran my fingers through his curls.

I wonder what it would feel like to have my hands tangles in them whilst he ...

Nyla!

"This." He rubbed his cheek against my chest, arousing one of my five sensitive spots. 

"Yeah, me too." Closing my eyes, I allowed myself to enjoy the feeling of another man caressing me.

"My mum's having a barbecue in a few weeks. She wants you guys to roll through." I hadn't seen Mama Gina in a long time and honestly, I missed her. It was nice to know that I had a mother figure to guide me when I needed it.

"You know we're there, you don't even have to ask. Does she –." 

"I lose my mind every time you touch me. I just can't control myself!" Ace had put on his signature seductive look.

"Wait, did you just recite Ginuwine?" I puffed my cheeks out trying to contain my laughter.

"I can sing, can't I?"
