33- Love

    "I love you." The words slip past my lips before I can think.

I gulp at the silence and his expressionless face.

The tension in the air was so thick I could probably cut it with a dull knife.

My words almost sound like a bell. They keep ringing in my ear.

I do love him.

I love him and everything about him.

His face, body, heart, personality. I most importantly love the way he acts around me. The caring and laid back side he shows only me.

I fucking love Ace King.

A thousand thoughts go flying in my head miles per hour.

Does he not feel the same way?

"I-I'm...Uh-!"

I'm cut off by his hand grabbing my face.

Ace grins.

The biggest grin I've ever seen him make.

"Harlow Valentine, I love you too."

I join him in grinning ear to ear.

He loves me, he really loves me.

He leans in but I quickly pull away. He gives a sad frown making my hug him.

"I'm sick remember, pretty boy?"

"I don't fucking care. Come here." I shrug and our lips meet.

I tug on his black cotton shirt and crawl in his lap.

We finally pull away from each other.

"You're goin' to get sick." I giggle as I trace his swollen lips.

"That is a risk I'm willing to take, babe." He pecks my lips again. "Now go to sleep. You need some rest."

I nod mid-yawn. Ace pulls the duvet over our bodies. I still rest on top of him with a slight smile.

"I love you."

Ace laughs. A laugh that sounds like it came from an angel of the lord.

"I love you too. Now sleep."

>>>>>>>>>>>

It's a week after we declared love, and Ace is sitting next to me in class like usual.

Except he's sick.

"I'm dying, Harlow." He sniffles as the teacher is passing test grades out.

"Ace don't be a drama queen. Your just as bad as Cal." I kiss his soft warm cheek. "Besides I warned you, I would pass on my cold to you."

"But it was worth it, no?"

"Of course it was." He replies and kisses the back of my hand.

The teacher hands me my test and I grin at the sexy grade.

"I'm so awesome. Look!" I jump up and down in my chair and display the 95% to Ace.

He rolls his eyes and shows me his.

98%

I kiss my teeth and give him an annoyed look. He just gives me a smirk in return.

The bell rings and it's officially lunch time!

My favorite part of school.

Well besides 2:45, when I get to leave this hell hole.

"Hey I'll meet up with you at the lunch room." I touch Ace's arm as I remember I have to grab something out my locker. He nods and walks over to Brody and Cal.
