Roommates

Chapter 13| Movies Part 2

I step forward from behind Ace. I'm nervous when I raise my hand up slightly and say "Uhh.. That would be me."

Monica looks surprised, then scrunches her face in disgust, looking me up and down.

"Your with this girl? What a pity."

Ouch.

"Hey hey. Don't talk to her like that." Ace said, backing me up.

"Talk to her like what? That she looks like absolute trash? Honestly Ace, why are you with her when you could be with a beautiful girl like me huh?" Monica said.

Ugh. I hate her already.

"Again, don't talk to her like that." Ace said.

"Aww to bad. I'll talk bad about her as much as I want babe."

Ace breathed in deeply, frustrated by now. "Don't call me that."

Monica smiled. "Babe? Are you mad?" She said innocently like if she did nothing wrong. "I know something that can cheer you up."

By now, Ace looked like he was about to lose it with her. "I am not your babe anymore. I am clearly with someone else, so leave us fucking alone." and with that, Ace grabbed my arm and pulled me beside him to walk away from Monica.

As we walked, I turned around and saw Monica with a pissed off look.

Damn she must be mad. And be feeling rejected.

She huffs and stomps away outside the theater.

"Phew. Now she's gone." I said.

"God she's fucking annoying." Ace said, I nodded.

"Yup."

We walked to where Candice and Owen were. They were paying for the food.

They started to walk towards us.

"Woah, did we miss something?" Owen said, looking between me and Ace.

"Hmm?" I said, and then realized me and Ace were still holding hands.

As if Ace was thinking the same thing, we immediately let go of each other's hands at the same time.

"Uh sorry. Nothing happened." I said, clearly embarrassed. I looked up at Candice and Owen. They both had a raised brow in question. I saw Candice holding two bags of popcorn, so to get over the embarrassing moment, I said "Here, let me help you with that."

"Uh sure." Candice said, and I took a bag of popcorn from her.

Owen was still standing there, looking between me and Ace.

For some reason, I stuffed a handful of popcorn in my mouth, which just seemed to weird out Owen, but enough to get over the embarrassing moment.

"Tell me later brother." Owen said, and patted Ace's shoulder. Ace just stood there frozen, as we all started to walk to our movie. Soon, he catched up.

Candice and I were walking beside each other when she asked me. "Sooo, tell me, what happened?"

"Uhhhhhh." Is all I said.

"Awe come on. You aren't going to tell me?" She said.

Shoot. I'll just tell her. It's not too bad, I think.

"Ace saw his ex-girlfriend."

Candice gasped. "Who? Was it Monica? She was here?!"

"Shhh" I said, and saw that Ace had turned to look at us.
