I opened the door feeling funny. I starting rubbing my temple and sighed. Its been 2 days. 2 days since I last saw his green eyes and perfect smile. 2 days since we shared such a heartful moment. Does he really regret it? Who does that after saying 6 letters and 3 words? A idiot that's who.
I rolled my eyes and sat at the edge of the bed.
The door opened and I looked over standing up quickly. Shocked. "Ace?"
He looked at me and he looked tired. Exhausted. And most of all...Upset.
"Are you ok? Where have you been?" I walked closer to him wrapping my arms around him and was really glad he didn't push me away. "Baby talk to me?"
I touched the same scar on his cheek and this time he didn't flinch. I let out a breath or relief.
"I had a meeting. I didn't want to upset you." He pushed his hands through my loose hair and pulled me into him. His breath was shaky and I could hear how hard his heart was beating.
"Ace?"
"Yes my love."
I looked up at him. "What happened? You look..."
"Nothing Dawn. I am fine I promise." He leaned down to press his lips against mines. I smiled at the butterflies sworming in my stomach. Its funny how easily I fell for the person who kid napped me.
"Ace."
"Yes?"
"Thank you."
He looked at me confused. "For what ?"
"Thank you for kidnapping me."
His unique colored eyes widen a bit before clouding into a misty color. Weird.
"Thank you for letting me kidnap you."
I laughed. "Lets go somewhere today." he whispered.
"I'll like that."
Ace told me he has a few more things to settle down with. I decided to visit the garden and sit on the bench. The ground was covered in red, black, and white roses. Different colored tulips and some other flower I saw before but can't recall the name.
The light but chilly breeze blew over my skin raising goosebumps. I started rubbing it not ready to go inside yet. I breathed in and let my mind go over everything that happened.
I got kidnapped. Tortured, died, came back alive. I laughed. Fell in love and now maybe...
We can grow old together. My eyes wandered and froze when I saw a dark figure by the tree. I blinked hoping I was seeing things. The wind grew strong, the air turning a bit foggy suddenly.
I stood up walking closer to the tree scared. "H-hello?"
He just leaned there leg crossed. He wore a black sweater, hood over his head arms crossed. His lips were in a thin line but his eyes...His eyes is what made me freeze. It looked familiar.
"Who's there?" He stood straighter as I got closer. "Are you lost?"
I was about to be close enough to maybe see him clearly when I heard someone call my name.
"DAWN!"
I stared at the person in front of me. He pulled his hood down and stepped closer towards me. I wasn't afraid but something felt off about him. But I couldn't ignore this deep down connection that I am safe with him...
"Come with me." His voice was rough and deep. He sticked his hands out and it was shaking and had a deep scar on it. "Hurry."
"DAWN! DAWN!" I spinned around to see who was calling. It was Ace and Jason.
