You've got some balls Ace Winston Quinn thought as she scoffed at him and he grinned a broad smile.

"What are you doing here?" Quinn asked exasperated and he scratched his head like he was lost.

"Oh, you know just looking for where I lost my.......SpongeBob phone case," He said sarcastically acting like he was looking for something on the floor and she rolled her eyes.

"Get out Ace."

"Why so cold?"

"So cold?....." She asked like she was just asked if period pains hurt.

"Yeah, back at the cafe and right now."

She sighed and ran her hands through her hair. "I'll meet you outside to talk about whatever proposal you have," She said plainly and he nodded.

"I'll go now," He said pointing at the exit door and at that moment Quinn raised her gaze, their eyes meet.

They got stuck in each other's universe for what seemed like five seconds because it was spoilt by Quinn yelling,"GOOOOOO!" Ace quickly scampered out.

Ace leaned on the wall beside the ladies' room, the waves of laughter had still not stopped from the dining which was three corners away from the restrooms.

Ace shut his eyes and he remembered how they held each other's gaze "Ahhh, why did I stare?" He asked himself as he opened his eyes.

"So dumb!"

"For once I agree with you," Quinn laughed as she came out of the restroom.

Ace chuckled then stopped and licked the insides of his cheeks "Your smile.... It's beautiful," His eyes glistered and his accent echoed in the hallway.

In an instant Quinn stopped laughing and cleared her throat, she flipped her waist-length midnight black hair behind her shoulder.

"What's your proposal?" Quinn asked leaning on the wall right beside Ace, his sweet rosy scent clouded her atmosphere, she could only smell an unfamiliar vanilla scent.

"Actually.... My grandfather's secretary, Carl suggested something to me last night."

Quinn turned her gaze to Ace. "Go on."

Ace paused and smiled cockily, "Do you find me attractive?"

"What?" Quinn asked and he turned his gaze to her.

"Quinn Manchester....do you like me?"

Quinn fumbled with the food on her plate, her thoughts were distant away from what was happening around her. She just couldn't get her mind off what a certain person told her.

"Oh....Quinn." Laura called out and Quinn removed her gaze from the food to look at her "You don't like the food? Well, have something else. Please eat to your delight."

"Ah..Oh yes."

Quinn's mind went away again as she forced a laugh.
