"Where's everyone anyway?" Ace comments as he finishes the last of his second round of pancakes.

"Who knows where Mikayla is?"

"Ivy....when I woke up, she was on the bed...asleep...she seemed exhausted... maybe she'll come down later?" Seiko answers.

She checks the clock. It's currently 11am.

"I doubt it, but cover her food just in case" Marcel comments.

While Seiko does that, Marcel's phone vibrates.

"What is it?" Ace asks.

"Amber says she misses me. She wants me to take her out today" It's Marcel's day off. He has nothing to do.

"You're barely together, what can she miss" Ace dryly comments.

Marcel shrugs.

Ace dramatically clutches his right side. "Whereas I am right here every day and YOU never take me out....you break my heart".

"Your heart is on the left dumbass" Marcel laughs as he jogs out the kitchen and upstairs to get ready.

MESSAGE:[On my way] Marcel - > Amber.

Upstairs, Marcel is currently showering. His alone with his thoughts right now.

It's been six months since Amber and Marcel have been dating. So far they've barely spent time together, which is mainly due to Marcel's busy schedule.

That's not the only reason.

As Marcel lathers his scalp, Ace's words from earlier ring in his head.

You're barely together, what can she miss. Thats true. Very true. So true that it annoys him.

Why?

Why is it that there's a woman vividly in love with him, willing to take the time to be by his side; but he feels nothing.

Nothing.

It sounds harsh but that's exactly it. No spark. No rush. Nothing.

It's the same everytime.

No matter who she is.No matter what her personality is like. No matter how attractive she is.

He never felt anything with these girls.

It's not like he goes out of his way to actively search for women and then feel this way.

Every woman that has entered his life has been the one to approach him first.

The problem is, if Marcel knows full well the outcome of these relationships, why does he keep on falling into another one?

Lost in thought, he finishes washing and heads out of the bathroom.

When he enters the room, Ace is putting on his jacket heading out.

"Where are you going?" Marcel asks, shivering slightly from his lack of clothing bar the towel clinging onto his waist.

"Your not the only one with plans boy" Ace grins.

Marcel starts dressing up. Ace is probably going to meet some girl and Marcel doesn't wanna think about it.

"I'll be back late, don't wait up" Ace says before closing the door behind him.

Something about Ace going around sleeping with girls that he doesn't even know the name of, irritates Marcel.

Shaking it off, he slips on a casual hoodie, dark jeans and trainers and heads out. His mind cloudy.
