Forever With Ace|16+✔️

Chapter 2

Ace's POV

"Ace!" Henry runs up to me.

"Hey you!" I lift him up.

"Daddy said if I ask nicely I can sleep over for the night and play with Roxie" He says shyly.

"Course buddy, I'll buy the ice cream if you pick the movies?" I place him on his feet and kneel down height level with him.

"Yeah!" He nods fast with a huge smile showing his small teeth.

"Go play right now because uncle Ace needs to have a word with the grownups" I ruffle his blonde curly hair.

"Okay" he runs through to the living room.

"Ma" I walk into the kitchen, Hannah and Ma both sitting on the stools while drinking fresh lemonade.

"Hi sweetie" she smiles and Hannah copies the same smile.

"Where's George and Brad?" I ask.

"They're buying some wood to fix the porch in the back" she tells me.

The only reason he isn't working right now is because it's winter break, which means he'll constantly be around at Ma's with Hannah and Henry.

I pour myself a glass of lemonade and lean on the counter looking at the two women in front of me.

"Spill" Hannah says.

"Spill what?" I look at the counter.

"Whatever you're hiding, doofus" she rolls her eyes with a soft laugh.

"Oh, I seen Camila last night" I tell them.

"Is that why you didn't come back over?" Ma questions.

I nod, "Yeah, she looks different" I'm not sure if it's in a good way yet, I desperately want to talk to her but it's been five years, she might not even feel the same way.

"What did she say?" Hannah asks while rubbing the top of her stomach.

"Have any of you seen her this past...five years?"

"I seen her about a year ago at the grocery store" Hannah tells me.

"That's it?"

"Well remember, she did go to school two hours away from here" Ma tells me like I forgot.

"And you haven't heard from Jo?" I frown.

"We kept in touch now and then but we didn't mention you guys and I haven't heard from her in around a year or more"

I sigh, "What about Ash?" I ask desperately wanting to know about the guy I once called brother.

She shakes her head, "Couple of years ago she said he finally got out clean and sober, that's all she said about him"

I sip on the lemonade not asking anymore questions, "Oh, Henry is staying with me tonight"

She tuts, "You're always stealing him away from me" she jests.

Loud laughter and the front door slamming closed informs us George and Brad is back, "Hey dip-shit" Brad says when he steps foot into the kitchen.

"Bradley language, Henry can hear you" Ma warns and he shrugs.

"Hey" I chuckle and shake my head.
