Mike's POV
Gawd Ace is really annoying me
"Hey, you okay? Was just teasing bro no need to look so pale.
He said as he looked at me in worry. Just then I released the chair I was desperately holding on to.
"Lets go back buddy" He said with a smile and patted my back.
"Yeah. They would be expecting us" I said and nodded as we walked back to the basement.
Now most people looked sober enough to continue the game so we continued.
Chloe cleared her throat and then said,"Lets take it up from where we stopped" and smiled at Violet mischieviously while Violet uncomfortably moves on her spot.
"Um.. Yes. Thats it. Ace and Vilet" Chloe said blinking innocently.
"Its Violet" She said in anger and suddenly, before my eyes. Violet walked to Ace, hesitantly at first but then confidently later.
It looked like a game to me. Was she going to?!
All my senses were at alarm.
She looked at Ace and her eyes flickered between his eyes and his lips. She sucked her lips and then lent forward...
As their lips brushed on each other she seems startled at first but then she brings her hands and placed it over his shoulders as the kiss deepened.
Audible gasps could be heard from people around us and Ace went further and wrapped his hands firmly on her waist as he sucked on her lower lip.
"Um.. that's enough show for the evening" Chloe said looking displeased and they both pulled apart and Violet looked so flustered because that was her first kiss.
She had told me earlier and I was willing to be that guy but Ace?!
I certainly never expected that. I was shaking with rage as I looked at Ace.The bottle landed on Ace and Violet and Ace asked Violet if she enjoyed the kiss and I glanced at Violet and she was furiously blushing.
"Answer the question simp" Chloe said.
Mannerless whore
"That was my fist time" I said and smiled then said," Mine also"
"Seeing how feisty and charming you are, I don't think the boys will be able to help themselves" He said with a small smile.
"Thanks" I say and he smiles back and for the first time I noticed that he had dimples.
Who agrees when I say dimples make a guy cute.
"Ace can I see you outside for a minute?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure." He said and walked behind me.
"So what is it man? You're beginning to scare me" He said.
I contemplated on telling him directly but I decided against him.
"You kissed Vio" I said.
"Yeah. My first kiss." He said trying to control his excitement.
Out of jealousy, I forgot this was also Ace's first kiss and mentally facepalmed.
"I don't regret it" He says
He doesn't regret it? What does he mean by that?
"I don't get" I said frowning a bit.
"I don't regret that she was my first kiss. She's actually a really nice girl tho and I'd love to know her better." He said smiling proudly.
"And probably thinking about the kiss." My subconscious added.
"Did you actually want to kiss her or it was for the sake of the game?" I asked as I curled my fist up.
"That would be rude. I'd never kiss a girl all in the name of a game. That's just plain rude." He said frowing and staring at me closely.
"Never talk to Violet... ever" I said.
"Man, what do you mean by that?" He asked looking lost.
I grinned at the tension I had caused in the room. Suddenly, I lept forward, charging my friend. Unprepared, Ace recoiled from a punch to his jaw with a wince. In retaliation, he prepared to strike me in the stomach, but he hesitated.
"Don't do that," I told him before striking him in the shoulder with a hard fist. Ace fell backward with a loud thud.
"It's bad." I finished, offering a hand to help him up.
"You could've done better." I said and smiled as my anger subsided. But I looked up to find the whole party watching us and I don't know how long they've been there.
My eyes searched the crowd only to be met with an angry looking Violet.
"He could have done better?! What does that mean? You wanted him to hit you? What exactly is your problem" She screamed as the room was silent.
"If Josh and Jane didnt call us..." She said pointing at the couple that were making out.
"Shit" She cussed and went to Ace as he was bleeding. As she knelt beside him and tried to touch his face he flinched.
I saw the hurt in Violet's eyes as she scooted away from her.
"You did all this" She said and looked at me like I was a piece of rag.
I don't know what came over me but I walked up to Vio and looked into her eyes as I caressed her cheek with my thumb.
"I did it because I love you" I said as people gasped while some cooed.
When I said that her eyes widen and she jerked backwards violently.
"You hurt him." She said."Stop trying to change the topic. I know you love me but there's absolutely no need to say it back in front of this many people" I said and smiled.
"Mike are you drunk? And who is-"
"This is Ace, the party was a welcome party and he is also my bestfriend. And no, I'm not drunk." I said cutting her.
"I don't like you Mike-"
"I know you don't like me, you love me" I said with courage.
Or am I drunk or dreaming? Probably dreaming.
"Do you like him" Chloe said coming out to the crowd pointing at Ace as he cleaned his injuries.
"What is your problem? I don't like Mike that way. He is my bestfriend and it ends at that. So stop getting silly ideas and as for Ace, we only just met so stop trying to make it a big deal. And you"
She said now pointing at me,"We have a serious discussion. In fact both of you"
Her brown orbs were wider and her hair was in a messy bun. I saw something I had never seen before. She looked ripped and her eyes were ignite with fire. She looked furious and bitter.
With one final look, she left. Her words were still ringing in my head.
"He is my bestfriend an it ends at that."
She just friendzoned me.
