Bigamy (Ace x Reader x Sabo) -Complete-

Chapter 4: Perfection

~Perfection is viewed differently in the eyes of the smitten~

Every morning through the duration of summer, Ace greets you with morning texts like, "hey, beautiful. How did you sleep?" The man is relentless with his flirtatious advances. It intimidates you the closer you get. The last thing you want is another heartbreak. The one before has left you with baggage. One of which are trust issues. To say you were "fragile" as Lyn placed it, is correct. You're an empathetic person and the slightest damage to your heart lasts longer than most. That was the only good quality aside from kindness that you held.

You: I slept fine, thanks. How about yourself?

Ace: I slept like a baby :)

You: That's good! Are our talks helping you?

Ace: Yep! Thanks again lovely~

Your brows knit as insecurity crawls in.

You: Okay this whole flirty thing has to stop. If you don't mind, please? I just met you and I feel weird when you say pet names. We're just friends

Ace: Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. It's just a habit.

You: You do the same to boys?

Ace: What? No!

You: It's okay Ace, this can be our little secret ;P

Ace: It's not a secret damn it!

You: It is now xD

"Morning!" You chirped as you enter the kitchen to whip up breakfast.

"I honestly wish I didn't wake up." She grumbled groggily.

You tilt your head quizzically. "What do you mean?"

"Chris messaged me last night saying she quit her job." She said.

"Finally, huh?" The down side of a broken friendship is Vanessa remains in contact with the girl and occasionally vents to you with updates. You could refuse to listen, but she had no one else and being the good person you are, set your feelings aside for her.

"That's not exactly good. I thought she did it because switched careers. She left it cause she's moving to Canada to live with that guy." She groaned.

"Wait, she's actually bunking with him? As in actual moving in with him?" Your stomach churns over the stupid foolish plan as Vanessa confirms it.

You stood quiet processing the information. You aren't sure what to make of it. "So I got a class in about an hour. Do you need me to pick up anything up on the way?"

You shake your head. "Nah, you're good."

She pours herself a cup of coffee then gathering her belongings. Just before she set out she asks,"Are you going to be alright?"

Of course she would notice when her best friend is in distress. You put on a fake smile and pray it assures her. "Yeah, I will. If anything happens I'll let you know."

She takes a minute, reluctant to leave you alone after a bombshell has been dropped. "Okay. Please do. I know you're taking it harder."

Once you hear her pull onto the road, you let out a breath you were holding and grab onto the edge of the counter. Your body boils with rage. You wanted the drama to end. You wanted her to break free and see the light. You wanted so badly to move on.
