track #32 : London Bridge — TWENTY88
"Every man needs a woman when his life is a mess, because just like in a game of chess; the queen protects the king. . . Fall in love with someone who will never stop choosing you."
ACE WAITED until the next morning to tell America what he found out.They got an early start to the day, waking up at 7:00 AM on account of America's new morning routine she'd constructed and changed over the week. It was going on 10:00 AM now. Time was hanging over his shoulder. He watched her eat her breakfast, fiddle with her hair until it was assembled into a tolerable puff at the top of her head, and he still couldn't spit out what he had to say. Her energy was so in tune that he spent wasted time putting off the news as if it weren't important.
There wasn't going to be anything good coming from her reaction. He'd already prepared himself for it. The peace she was bathing in would be sucked up through a large, gaping straw of disappointment, and using all of the mental armor he suited himself up with, they'd be standing back at square one.
He walked into the living room area to see her in an odd position, attempting to balance herself on the top of her head— some weird yoga pose that she'd been trying to learn for a while, but couldn't accomplish due to her lack of balance. He stopped in place and stared at her for some time. She could barely keep her feet in the air for over two seconds before her knees were down on the rug below her again. Even though she was failing miserably, she still tried again and again and again.
