Disguised As A Bad Boy

Fear Of The Ocean

Ace's POV

The bright shimmering sun shone painfully against my eyes, causing me to scrunch them tightly. I attempted to turn my body around to avoid the sun rays, but I failed. Feeling slightly annoyed, I looked back at my left arm, where I saw Chloe lying on. The feeling of annoyance disappeared and was replaced with pain.

My arm is so numb. It hurts.

Little by little, I tried pulling out my arm from under her head, trying to not wake her up. Finally, I was free! I turned my body with my back facing Chloe and soon enough, I fell asleep.

The world around me was dark and cold. The sky filled with threatening clouds and my clothes soaked up every single raindrop. I shivered, feeling utterly hopeless against the horrible weather. Not caring about the cold, I continued to walk down the street. Keeping my guard up as I walked past a dodgy looking alleyway. All of a sudden, I could no longer feel the rain. However, outside of my circle, it still continued to pour fiercely.

"Why are you in the rain? Don't you have an umbrella?" I looked up to see a young girl- who looks about the same age as me- standing next to an adult.

I didn't reply.

"Well? You can have mine. Just remember to return it" she smiled warmly, as she quickly ran underneath her father's umbrella.

"But where do you- " I said, but she was already gone, "live..?"

Everything began to flicker, from night to day and from it raining to being sunny. A girl appeared in front of me, the same one who gave me her umbrella. I see her walking closer and closer. She holds my face with her two little hands and closes her eyes.

Our lips gently touch.

My eyes opened and I could still vividly remember that dream. It wasn't just any dream, it's one of my childhood memories.

After my eyes adjusted to my surroundings, I noticed Chloe and the feeling of her lips against mine.

Woah, I thought. This is strangely very familiar, everything happening right now reminds me of my dream. The small girl in it looks just like... her.

"Oh! Um, um, you're awake?" she said, blushing.

"How sneaky of you? To kiss me while I'm asleep? You've got the guts" I laughed as I saw her cover her face with her pillow. I propped myself up and moved towards the Chloe.

"Ah Ace! Why the heck are you-" I looked down at my bare chest and back at her, "-naked?"

"I was feeling hot, why? Are you feeling embarrassed seeing me like this?" I teased, leaning closer.

Soon, a grey shirt was thrown at my face, "Hurry up and wear that!"

"Okay okay, I'll get dressed now."

Her expression right now is priceless, her cheeks are bright red and it's too cute.

"Come here," I said, she came and sat beside me on the bed, While I embraced her tightly, gently caressing the back of her head, "so what are we doing today?"

"We're going to the beach!"
