Touching The Heart Of Ace (SAMPLE)

Chapter 43

I kicked Jason's leg under the table. He did not even flinch. He was ignoring me; this pain in my nose!

I poked the eggs in my plate, imagining they were Jason's eyes.

He promised me and here he was eating food like a caveman. I peeked through my bangs and noticed my mom going through her office papers.

I kicked Jason again and a bit harder than before. He glared and I nodded to mom.

He huffed, closing his eyes. Was he cursing me out? He was!!! I wanted to throw my egg benedict on his face.

I took my phone and texted Jason. I will tell mom; you and Chris are fuck buddies.

He glared at me flabbergasted. I hate you.

I hate you too. I begged with my eyes and nodded towards mom.

No. He rose his right eyebrow.

I will tell that you are not using protection. I narrowed my eyes.

That is a lie, Goose.

Is it? Mom will cut your pee pee off before the test results are in.

He stabbed his fork on the plate and I felt that prick on my butt.

"Mom?" Jason started and I promptly looked down to my lap.

"Yes, son."

"Uhh... you are right. I... uh... should meet the kid. I mean, Robert said I am to be his CEO after internship. I should go and see his kid, right? It is the right thing to do." Jason should take some acting classes. He was as enthusiastic as going to a funeral.

"That is right, sweetheart. You should. I have gifts for the baby, please take them with you."

"Yeah... uh... Dave will you please come with me? I don't want to go alone."

"I would love to, Jace."

"Yaaay!" He waved his hands in the air.

God! He was so annoying.

I squealed as I packed stuff to my bag. Robbie hadn't asked me to bring anything. But his stay at the hospital was extended. What was that about, I had no idea, but he promised me that the baby was fine and healthy.

He sounded so tired when he called me. Clearly the labour time was longer than they all expected and Robbie did not say much on the topic.

I missed him so so much. He begged me to visit him.

"It is a bad idea." Jason was against my going but he did not understand. I had to be there. Robbie asked me to visit.

"I promise, Jason. No funny business. I will go there, see the baby and that is it." Jason did not believe me and truthfully I did not believe it either.

"You..." He sighed and rubbed his face. "Don't you think you should stop..." He waved his hand around. "... whatever the thing that is going on?"

I took more time than necessary to fold a sweater, just in case it got cold at night in the hospital.

I chuckled, making sure Jason could not see my face. "Of course, slave, don't be silly. The baby is here now. We will stop. It is not like we are not going to continue this forever. Don't worry, I will talk to Robbie."

Jason did not reply and when I turned around he was staring at me. He did not approve and he did not trust me.

My hands were shaking.

"No funny business in the hospital. You stop if he tries."

"No funny business, and I will stop if he tries." I parroted.
