Loving the Enemy

Chapter 13

Ace POV

Anna still hasn't returned and it almost has been an hour. Nobody has uttered a word expect for a few 'fuck's and 'it was your fault' from her two idiot friends.

I am sitting in the living room, across from me Lorenzo who is sleeping there. When we came here we tied Suzuki to a chair facing me.

I lean my head back in exhaustion and let out a quiet sigh.

I'm fucking tired.

I close my eyes and just a few seconds later I hear a groan from in front of me. I wasn't in the mood to torture someone right now so I stand up and give him a hard punch in the face, causing him to pass out again.

Weak.

I fall back on the couch closing my eyes again.

Just as I am ready to greet sleep I hear the door to the apartment open. I groan and look up to see Anna walking in with a slightly red face probably from the cold and her fucking soaked in water.

I had noticed it started raining but I don't fucking know where she was to be this wet.

Although I wish it wasn't from the rain.

She still has my jacket on and let me tell you it looks huge on her. Her hair is open and slightly waved.

"What?" She snaps. I lift my eyes to hers when I notice I have been checking her out.

God, what is wrong with me?

I mutter a quick nothing, simultaneously she looks at the guy in front of me with the new bruise coming up on his face.

"Has he woken up yet?"

"Yes. He has." I give her a slight grin wen she rolls her eyes, understanding what I meant by that.

"I'm going to sleep" she mumbles before leaving the room.

________________

I open my eyes and look outside the floor to ceiling window to notice the sun slowly rising. Lorenzo is still sleeping on the opposite couch.

I stand up and walk in the direction of the kitchen. When I walk past Annas' room I hear someone talk. Curiosity gets the best of me so I walk up to the door and put my ear to the cold wooden door.

I can hear small sobs and when the voice talks again I furrow my brows. "He's dead. He's dead. You killed him Anna. You killed him." More sobs are heard and my frown deepens. I hadn't even notice someone approach when I feel a small but pretty hard punch being thrown at my stomach. I clutch my stomach immediately in pain and step back to see Vanessa with a death glare send my way. "Get. The. Fuck. Away. This is none of your fucking business."

She gives me one last push before quickly disappearing into the room. I hear someone scream and then a muffled voice saying. "Shhh. It's me." After that I walk in the kitchen, the thought of a vulnerable Anna in my mind.

I take my phone out of my pocket and lock at the time, seeing it's 7.18 am. I look around some cabinets for food, only to find nothing appealing. I look into the fridge and don't see anything special either but a latte. I don't really like latte I rather prefer black coffee but that will do it.

I walk back in the living room and see Lorenzo laying on his back, phone in hand and the blond guy opposite him on the laptop typing something. I sit down beside him. He looks at me and then the latte in my hand as I take a sip from it. He lets out a low chuckle.

"What are you laughing at blondie?"

"Oh nothing." He says as he tries to hold in a laugh. What is so funny with me drinking a latte? I shake my head choosing to ignore him. I take out my phone to check some emails.
