I followed Jason to the living room, my overthinking self coming into play with different possibilities. What did he want to talk about?
173Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Otvt59Ow
As we sat down on the couch, Jason turned to me with a serious expression. "Audrey, I know something's going on between you and Ace. I've seen the way he looks at you, and I've seen the way you react to him."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAF9Uo3LzT0J
I felt a wrecking squeeze in my heart, but I tried to play it cool. "What are you talking about, Jason?"
173Please respect copyright.PENANATzINT05i9F
Jason sighed. "Don't play dumb, Audrey. I know you're attracted to him. But you need to stay away from him. He's trouble."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAZK6jvv7Dji
I bristled at Jason's warning. Who was he to tell me who to stay away from?
173Please respect copyright.PENANAUhC6IbuzBV
"What's going on between you and Ace?" I asked, turning the tables around.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAxN9uvz7U67
Jason's expression turned guarded. "Nothing. Just...just business. But trust me, Audrey. You don't want to get involved with him."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAvMdV24o30l
I raised an eyebrow. He is definitely hiding something, I think to myself.
173Please respect copyright.PENANA0gAHHmPVEp
Suddenly, Ace appeared in the doorway, his eyes fixed intently on me. "Jason's right, Audrey. You don't want to get involved with me. But it's too late for that, isn't it?" He asked sarcastically.
173Please respect copyright.PENANADYIs71LjRk
I felt a shiver run down my spine as Ace's eyes locked onto mine. What did he mean? Too late for what? The concern about his question left instantly, taking Ace seriously is dangerous and can be compared to a high voltage.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAe4q8F5uEqP
"Ace, what are you talking about?" Jason demanded, standing up from the couch.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAUeVoNvRptp
Ace smirked. "Oh, come on, Jason. Don't play dumb. Audrey knows exactly what I'm talking about."
173Please respect copyright.PENANA7xW2ZObBJi
I shook my head, trying to clear the confusion. What was going on between these two? Why in the fudge will Ace put me in the middle of whatever mess they have going, geez....
173Please respect copyright.PENANAosuH2tODUQ
"Ace, stop," Jason warned, his voice low and menacing.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAYZsLlJiFPl
But Ace just chuckled. "You can't stop me, Jason. You may have the upper hand right now but I have already set things in motion."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAKmKomuOTRT
Suddenly, the room felt like it was spinning and closing up on me.
173Please respect copyright.PENANACPDBAYbTQE
What has Ace done? I bite my fingers cheekily not wanting to find out but the curiosity in me took control of my mouth.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAISdIzeQ0hb
"Ace, tell me what's going on," I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.
173Please respect copyright.PENANA5XzqUXXDJP
Ace's eyes gleamed with intensity. "You'll find out soon enough, Audrey. But for now...let's just say that he can't stop me from having you.
173Please respect copyright.PENANABjRBgne2ol
And with that, he turned and walked away, leaving me feeling like I was standing on the edge of a cliff
