TEENAGE DADDY ✔

25

I stand on Ace's porch and ring on the doorbell impatiently. I smile a bit when Sophia sighs for the twentieth time in the last minute. "Just be a little patient, he's going to answer, calm your head down."

"Why am I here again?" she groans and starts to play with the hem of her sweatshirt.

"Because I want you to keep Eileen company while I talk to her brother. She's gonna get really bored just listening to teenagers crap." I chuckle. Ugh, kids, so not 'Understand the situation'-y.

I raise my hand to knock the door again, instead of ringing on the doorbell. The door swings open without warning and I end up knocking on Ace's nose instead.

"Ow!" he groans and palms his nose with both hands. Like the 'Faith' that I am, I hold my belly and burst into laughter. Just as I l'm about to make a 'Faith-ish' comment, all of a sudden, today's incident plays in my head, Ace's lips on mine. Doesn't that mean I have to be all girly and nice to him? Isn't that what kissers do?

I clear my throat and gasp for at least five seconds, just to be dramatic. "Oh my God Ace,are you okay?!"

He glares at me for a moment before his eyes go down to meet Sophia's. He seems to just be aware of her presence as he groans, "Oh jeez, why is she here?"

"Well nice to see you too!" She scoffs. "Won't you at least let us in?"

His eyes widen a bit as if he's just realizing that we are still standing outside. "Oh my goodness, I'm sorry. Come on in." he tells me and steps aside a bit so we can walk in. He locks the door shut behind us and follows us into the living room.

I look around the living room, it seems to be a bit different than the last two times I was here. Maybe because this time, I was actually invited here.

"Um..." Ace starts to say and he scratches the back of his neck before continuing to talk,"Do you guys want something?"

I furrow my eyebrows, "You invited me here?"

"No no, that's not what I meant. I meant do you want something like, eat or drink kind of something." he adds quickly.

Ace Winter is nervous? Somebody get me a husband, I can't see clearly. Or is it glasses they use? I can't remember. My brain is fried in fog.

"We are good... " I start to say but get cut off by Eileen's little voice popping out of nowhere.

"What's going on here?" She frowns. Her eyes go wide when she suddenly spots Sophia standing with her arms crossed behind me. "Soph? What are you doing here? You didn't say you were dropping by." Her gaze falls on me and her frown returns. She raises a finger up at me, "Most importantly, what are you doing here?"

"You didn't tell her yet?" I raise a brow at Ace and he shakes his head motioning no. I smile and turn to look at Sophia. "You both go and play,we'll be with you in a sec."

"You can't tell me what to do!" Eileen snaps at me and turns to look at her father. That feels so weird a title for Ace. "Right Ace?"

"Actually Lee, she can." he sighs and a little gasp escapes her mouth. He quickly adds, "For now. Please just head to your room,you don't really want to stay here and listen to crap that teenagers have to discuss, right?"

She frowns but doesn't say anything before storming out of the room with Sophia trailing behind her.

With the living room empty, everywhere suddenly seems to feel all choking.

Ace's POV
I watch as Faith slowly starts to pace around the room. "Sit down?" I offer and she looks between me and a couch repeatedly before deciding mentally.

"I'd rather I sat on a dining chair, I prefer being on there." she says and starts to head to the little dining table. I don't say anything but shake my head in a yes manner even though she can't see me and walk behind her to the dining table.

She takes a seat on one of the dining chairs and I take the one directly opposite to her so we can have a face to face discussion.

"So..." I start to say.

"So..." she says back. We both sigh in unison before she starts to talk again.

"Okay can we try the heck to be ourselves? We are not getting anywhere with being freaky nervous. Let's just talk about what it is the heck that happened today and know what it is we are doing. The heck, am I making sense?!" she blurts and I chuckle.

"Well now we're headed somewhere. So tell me," I smirk at her,"Why'd you kiss me?"

"Excuse you,you kissed me first!" she snaps and frowns, "Why did you kiss me? I've never being kissed before, dude, my stomach hurt so bad at that time."

"They're called butterflies knuckle head." I chuckle," Geez you're such a tomboy!"

She gasps,"What?! I am not. Butterflies are animate subjects, there is no way they can be in a human person's belly unless one person decided to be an idiot and ate them! Geez,you're such a JerryGirl."

I burst into a deep laugh and hold my belly to reduce the ache I'm already feeling in my stomach. "Okay let's just say I kissed you because I could, what would you do?"

"What would I do? Oh yeah?" she smirks and stops talking. She looks up at the ceiling like she's thinking.

"What are you doing?" I furrow my eyebrows at her but before she can give me a reply, the atmosphere helps her. "Sweet mother of Jesus, what is that smell?" I frown and jump to my feet, pinning my nose.

She stands to her feet as well and points at me, "That Ace, is the smell from a mentally unstable butt. Now if you told me you only kissed me because you could, the next target would be your mouth!" She shouts.

"God what kind of girl farts at her..." I start to say but get cut off by the ring of the doorbell.

"I'll get it." I groan.

"I wouldn't offer to anyways." she shrugs. I shake my head in awe.

"That's what Lee would say!" I mumble to myself. I hurry over to the door and yell an, "I'm coming."

I unlock the door and swing it open. The image standing before the door causes my feet to wobble.

"Hello Ace." The sweetheart standing by the door says with a smirk.

My eyes go wide and my mouth goes dry, "F... Fiona." I stutter.

Let's see those with retentive memory here! Who do you think Fiona is?!

Hehe. Don't forget to vote and comment! Mama Pizza loves y'all.
