Enchanting, everything about her mesmerized me like a child in a toy store— to the point where I'm simply starstruck by her very being. From her attitude to the way she seems so poised, so noble. All her movements radiated something I had been taught since young, although not utilized by myself, she practically emitted class.
" May I know your name now?" The question tumbled out in a collage of words as they squeezed together in a hurry to be vocally heard. I had been patient, I've waited my whole life to meet her. Countless nights were spent thinking of the mysterious person who managed to find me before I had even turned of age. Who always gave me what I wanted and more than I could ever need.
A smile befitting the cover of Royals magazine graced her features. Stormcloud shaded eyes seemed to pierce through me as she met my gaze. " My name is Ace, Ace King, but you're free to call me anything you like. However, I will be honest when I tell you that I may not respond to Ass-munch or Ass-hat in public,"
Ace King, what a befitting name for her. " Ace, I-I like it. It suits you for some reason,"
"You think so? You sure I don't look like an Amanda or Ashley," I couldn't help but laugh at her playful teasing, suddenly embarrassed by my earlier guesses.
"I feel offended in your place for such ridiculous guesses. Now that I'm looking at you, I can affirmatively say you fit the image of Ace. I can't quite pinpoint how, but you just do. I hope that made sense— which I'm not known for doing. Ernesti says I speak so much gibberish that babies and I must get along quite well—"
"Ernesti told you that," It could have easily been chalked up as magic when her eyes flashed with murderous intent in a blink of an eye. Although not directed at me, I couldn't help feeling amused at the situation. She's offended in my place, how fucking sexy. If I didn't care for Ernesti, I'd list the rest of the insults she's used on me.
"Yeah, but don't worry I told her that's the main reason our conversations run so smoothly. I then progressed to tell her that whenever she grows up I'll stop using baby talk on her. Nevertheless, she was an unhappy camper for a whole week—" My attempt in fighting the yawn that tackled through me was a feeble battle as a knowing smile pulled at her lips.
"Somebody's up past their bedtime," I found myself pouting at the realization. I was aware of the time the moment my body temperature began to grow increasingly warm. I had assumed that the incantations would vanish upon our meeting, but I suppose there is more to this than I originally thought.
" I'm fine, besides I want to talk more with you. I wanna get to know you better, so I can handle staying awake a little bit longer, please," I swallowed my pride as the feeling of begging for something nipped at me. It's almost comical, she's given me everything I ever wanted and here I am asking for more.
"You're cute when you beg princess, but you should know if its within my power and if its reasonable I'll give it to you. However, if you stay up too late, you'll probably be excessively lethargic tomorrow, so how about we compromise?" I followed her lead as she stood up, devoting my full attention to her next choice of words. "The walk back to our bedroom is three minutes if we take the long way, so you are free to ask me whatever you like on the way there and as you get ready for bed. Deal?"
