As soon as Ace pulled over in front of my home, I immediately got inside his car. I instantly fastened my seatbelt and my hurriedness made Ace's lips curl into an amused smile. He raised a curious eyebrow at me as if he was waiting for me to say something.

"Oh, please drive." I grumbled.

"Sure." He says, steering his wheel and diverting us onto the main street. I'm pretty sure that whatever is going on mind, it's not the same with Ace. He's probably glad that he's doing me a favor because he'll get to hold that against me if we have an argument. On the other hand, all I could think about was Cole. I was in deep pain and guilt. I can't just wash it away. It's not that simple. Ace noticed my frown and he pulled over next to an empty sidewalk.

"What's wrong?" He asks. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but I can sense some emotion behind his tone.

"It's just..." I begin to cry. I felt comfortable to cry in front of Ace even though I was also scared that he might think I'm weak if I cried. "Take my mind off it, Ace please."

"What's on your mind that's bothering you?" He asks, shaking his head confusedly. I wanted him to comfort me without me having to tell him what was wrong.

"Just please, I need to get my mind off of it." I beg, not looking into his eyes because I know I'll cry harder. I tugged onto my seatbelt tightly as I waited for his response. My patience was running thin and low.

"Okay...? Well, um. Do you want me to get some ice cream? I hear girls really like to eat it when they're sad." He says, smiling playfully and I sighed in disappointment.

"Damn it, Ace." I groaned and palmed my face. "I don't want any stupid ice cream." All I needed was comfort. I wanted to curl into a ball and cry. Nothing sounded more appealing to me.

"Then...I guess this will do." He sighs. Within seconds, his hands were already cupping my face as he leaned across the separator and crashed his lips against mine. The kiss started out soft and warm, our breaths mingled and I can feel his touch sending me shivers and causing millions of goosebumps to rise on my skin. I couldn't help but kiss him back, I even deepened our kiss and I twirled my tongue with his tongue. He didn't tease me with his tongue and he didn't break our kiss either, his intentions were clear. He was trying to comfort me and this was his way of doing so. Like the naive idiot that I am, I followed along. He ignited countless sparks in my body with his sensual, fiery kiss.

My hands were snaked around his neck and I was eager to pull him closer. I can no longer feel the pain I felt two seconds ago. Ace's simple tongue contact relieved my stress. He healed my fresh wound. I can feel him slightly pulling away to let us both take a breath and comprehend what we've just done. He didn't seem to mind what we just did but I know that as soon as I get my sanity back, I'll freak out about this...about our kiss.

My eyes locked with his stormy blue ones. They slowly trailed down his red cheeks then his plump full lips. I have longed for them, so much.

"So, about that job thing?" He begins to chuckle.

"It can wait." I teased. If he pulls away now, I'm sure I'll go back to feeling guilty and hurt.

"Actually, it can't." He says and I was hurt because by his words more than I should've been. "I have some plans after a while."

"What plans?" I'm eager to know, determined really.

"A party."

"Again?" I lifted an eyebrow.
