Ace just came to give me orders to sit at the dining table so I did, I'm looking at the Christmas tree from my chair, it's so pretty and the house smells wonderful.

"Here it is," he put the white bowl with chicken noodle soup in front of me "you might just have an orgasm thanks to how good it is," he said making me laugh.

"I'm serious," he chuckled as he took his place beside me at the head of the table "better than the Ratatouille broth."

I shook my head "No, I'm sure that broth is the best one in the world," I picked up my spoon and dipped it in the soup "did you taste it before serving it?" I put it in my mouth and gazed at him "mhh!" I covered my face with my hands as he was recording me "mhhh..." the soup was just exquisite, homey but exquisite "this is very good, Ace."

"I know," he put down his phone, "I told you, orgasm," he chuckled.

I giggled and kicked his leg under the table "Shut up and eat."

"Yes, boss," he picked up his spoon and started eating.

"Do you want anything to drink?" I asked putting down my spoon.

"Wine would be amazing," he put down his spoon and stood up "but let me go get it, you stay here," he walked away.

"Silly," I whispered looking at my bowl with a smile.

When he came back he poured the wine for both of us "That's something I truly know how to do," he sat back down "what do you want to talk about?"

"What do friends talk about?" I took a sip of my wine.

He shrugged "Let me google a list of questions," he said making me chuckle "found one!" he exclaimed, "I'll ask it and we both have to answer it, okay?"

"Okay," I nodded "shoot me."

"What's your all-time favorite memory?" he asked and then put down his phone on the table.

I sighed thinking about it "When my nana took me to Olive Garden for the first time, it was my 10th birthday and I got to order everything myself," the face of my nana is so present in my memories, her silver hair, ocean blue eyes, full lips, the smallest nose ever and a smile that could light up the Earth "we talked and ate, nothing else mattered, just her and me against the world."

"What was her name?" he asked looking into my eyes.

"Colleen LeClaire," I said "your turn."

He smiled "Well, I was 15, the boys and I lost our virginity at the same party so we decided to have a sleepover to talk about it, I felt so happy being around them like I could get through anything," Ace chuckled "that's so cheesy so moving on to question number two," he glanced at his phone "what is your favorite quote?"

"Oh! If you're going through hell, keep going by Winston Churchill."

"Why?"

"Because I hope it's true," I replied dipping my spoon in the soup "your turn."

"I didn't come this far, to only come this far, but I do not know who said it so don't copyright me or anything," he joked.

We continued with the question game, I found out his favorite color is navy blue, he loves Historical period shows, he is dying to visit Egypt for the first time in January, his earliest memory is jumping into the pool with his grandpa, his favorite animal is the Polar bear, he gave his first kiss at the age of 13, he relaxes by walking around the property or neighborhood and taking pictures, his favorite food is the ceviche he tasted in Mexico last summer and he is allergic to rhubarb.
