ONLY HIS

Chapter 37

"Missed me, sweetheart?" A voice echoed in her room that was recognizable to her so she turned her head toward the direction from where it came from.

Only to find Ace standing there leaning against the side balcony door of her room with his hands crossed, resting over his lean torso. This makes her heart skip a beat.

He is dressed up in all black just like he was in their first meet. Alisha was stocked as well as happy that he came here instead of being all alone in that mansion. But she also remembered that she couldn't show it. But she didn't know that she was already late at hiding her reactions as he already saw a little happiness on her face when she saw him.

" Lagta hai Mai bet jitne ke bhut karib hu sambal kar rehna, Darling"

(I think I'm too close to winning the bet so be careful, darling)

She got her shock number 2 as she never in the world thought she could hear fluent Hindi from him and that too with his Italian accent is just explosive.

While she was busy absorbing the shock, her heart started talking to her

'Aww he called me darling ' her heart said to itself.

'Shut up you idiot don't fall for tricks' her mind replied getting into the conversation.

'That's not tricks, that's love, true love'
Her heart tried to take the side of Ace.

'Yeah we'll see' said Ms. Mind in a rude voice.

While her mind and heart were busy with their argument, she forgot that there was someone who was watching her with his intense gaze on her like prey.

"Baby, are you okay?" He came near her cupped her cheeks and asked her in a concerned tone as she froze at her place with any response coming out of her mouth.

"Aah.." she came out of her thoughts when his hand touched her cheeks making her cheeks go all red and a shiver run down her spine.

'he called me darling?' she said to herself in her mind.

The sound that came out of her mouth awakened someone else which made things difficult for Ace. He tried to shift his jeans to avoid Alisha getting uncomfortable with the sight of that.

She got up from her bed and got away from him as she started sweating due to the sudden heat generated by her cheeks. She saw him standing up from the bed and then her eyes moved to the place from where he appeared.

"Tell me please that you came up from stairs?" She said looking at him with hope.

"I wanted to surprise you, so I came directly up to you through your balcony" Ace replied with his sincerity as it was nothing so big for him.

"Are you kidding me you climbed up the whole floor what if.." she was about to say something more but stopped.

"What if?" Ace asked with the hope of hearing those concerning words from her mouth.

'what if you got injured?' She said in her mind.

"What if someone had seen you and thought of you as some thief?" She managed to get words to replace them with non-concerning ones.

"Then you're here to rescue me" Ace replied.

"I wouldn't, I'll tell you get beaten up by the crowd" replied Alisha turning her face away from him.

"Then I'll take the beating until you come to rescue me," he said simply as it'll be nothing in front of the wounds he gets in general.

He came near her and grabbed her hand in his grip pulled it closer to his lips and kissed it.
