Touching The Heart Of Ace (SAMPLE)

Chapter 38

Robbie had a slight skip in his steps. He would make an amazing father. He squeezed my hands and gave me a small peck on forehead.

"Robbie..."

"Yes, Angel." He smiled and leaned down to my face.

I pressed my palm on his cheeks. His hands covered mine and he closed his eyes.

When he opened them, I could see how much I affected him.

Was that a lie? I rubbed my thumb on the side of his lips.

"Come on, let us go." I curled my hands around his and pulled him along.

We were going to a baby shopping centre.

The shop was a big one even though the organization was not user friendly. It would be a pain to shop along with a kid. It was a good thing, Robbie decided to shop before Bobby came along.

"Welcome to Baby Bunny." A beautiful girl came to greet us who stood way too close to Robbie.

I cringed at the name. It sounded like a stripper club. Why would anyone name a kid store the name of stripper clubs? Or were the stripper clubs named... That was more disturbing.

The girl was eyeing him. Of course, she was! Robbie was a hunk.

"Ace."

"Huh?"

"You zoned out on us." Robbie smiled.

"Sorry."

He patted my back. "Come on, help me." Robbie did not let my hands go.

I looked around the stuff while Robbie rambled about his requirements.

I gently tugged on his hands. "No, wheels on the cradle, Robbie." I pointed to the wheels.

"This is the new model, sir. Our high-end customers love it." I had a feeling the girl did not like my input.

Why?

Yup, the wheeled cradles cost quarter-grand extra.

But, it was dangerous. What if the thing rolled at night? What if the baby kicked inside and then went out?

I have watched Baby's Day Out. The outside was dangerous for Bobby.

I knew at any other time my smart brain would kick my stupid heart and announce 'no internal force can change the inertia' but... this was about Bobby. My brain had already shut down at the sight of wheels.

"No wheels, Robbie." I said to Robbie. Should I stomp my feet for effect?

"Of course, Angel. No wheels. Can we see some other models?"

"But, I insist..." The girl stepped closer.

"No wheels. We have decided."

The girl gave me an evil eye. Seriously? Was she trying to put Bobby in danger for extra bucks?

"Any other suggestions, dear?" I loved how Robbie gave me his whole attention without falling for the over-flirtatious girl.

"Choose lighter colours."

He smiled. He loved when I added suggestions. Should he not discuss these with Janice? If I did not know better, I would have thought Robbie was a single parent.

I left Robbie at the cradles. It was his baby. He might have his own ideas and dreams. If I stayed close he would ask for my opinion and would end up buying my favourites not his.

Oooh! Plushies!!!

A big well filled with Plush Toys!!!

I loved them. I LOVEEED THEEEM
