Touching The Heart Of Ace (SAMPLE)

Chapter 49

"You don't tell me anything!" I shouted.

"Angel, it is not your..."

"I get it; I don't get to say anything to you. What do you want from me anyways!"

Sex! That was what I was good for. Robbie did not think I was good for anything else. He bugged me again to hire a nanny. I was working too hard by changing her diapers; God! He drove me crazy.

I wanted to cry so bad.

Damn it, Ace! Stop meddling into things that do not concern you.

Stupid heart for loving this stupid idiot jackass of a man!

He did not want me to know; why did it hurt so much?

"I am not in any financial crisis."

"K!"

"You have nothing to worry."

"Fine."

I stomped to my class room, locked the door and dialled Liam.

"Yo, Man! Uhh what did I do?"

"What? Now I cannot call you, just because I had free time! Jeez!"

"You do know that I'mma not the guy who peed on you, right? It was yo baby, not dis nigga."

I snorted and chuckled. "I am not angry at you, Liam. Just..."

"Family?"

I wished it was true. "Yeah."

I taught Liam, basic computer science and physics. His English improved considerably, and I tried very hard not to laugh at how his teacher made him sit on his knees for saying 'shit.'

'Stop saying shit you little shit if you still want to shit through your shithole' was the exact words. He asked if I could afford a therapy session for him and we had a good laugh.

I thought I would be okay after that, but I hated how much it affected me. I did my whole assignment on economics, that was how disturbed I was.

Robbie picked me up the moment I was out of the classroom.

"I am not in the mood, Robbie."

"I can change that."

"No."

"I love challenges."

I did not give any emotions when he tried his best to get a reaction out of me. He sighed finally letting my feet touch the floor.

"Babe, I am not in any kind of financial crisis."

"Do I look like I care anymore? I don't want to know, I asked you and you asked me to mind my own business."

"What! I never tell you to mind your own business!"

"Well, you told me it was not something for me to worry about."

"Yeah, and you heard it as 'mind your own business'?" He groaned. "I tell that to Jason and he hears 'ooh, I need you to butt in my life every day and make me miserable, please'. You guys are real brothers."

I opened the fridge and put my head in because I did not want to smile. But Robbie was right, the amount of 'none of your business' Robbie threw at him was countless. It was even more funny when Jason said 'Oh, I love you too, Dipstick.' Not joking! It really happened.

I schooled my face when I turned around to him.

"Come here, love."

I did not bother to acknowledge that and I went to my bedroom with a lot more force on my feet than necessary.
