I stared at him and quickly got up because the bed wasn’t the safest place. I couldn’t understand how he knew and why he was here.
“How are you here?” I managed to speak without stuttering.
“Does it matter?” he walked towards me, with a smirk on his face.
I was scared and he walked up to me. “Why are you standing? Shouldn’t you be on the bed?”
His tone was slightly different, as if taunting me. “I-I… uh… yeah”
He kept coming closer, while I was standing against the wall. It felt somewhat insecure to be alone with him right now.
“Why are you scared?”
“Why are you speaking this way?” I asked him finally. He clicked his tongue and didn’t reply.
I waited for him to stop but he was now too close and didn’t have any intentions to stop, as it seemed. “Why should I?”
I stared at him in shock. He came close and I closed my eyes in fear: I never had anyone so close. The last time I hugged anyone was my brother, Joe and the first time was my mother and I only ever hugged two times in my life.
And he was even more close than most people are, while hugging.
“Ace…” I whispered. My eyes were closed, but when I opened them for a second, I saw him staring right at me. I closed them immediately.
“Get away…” I whispered more. I was already so nervous, and my heart was racing.
“I am your boyfriend, why should I stay away?”
“That…” I sighed. I wasn’t good at telling my feelings. I couldn’t express myself.
He kept a hand on my cheek and I felt so weird.
“Ace… go away…”
He just looked at me, a hint of irritation in his eyes. I shut my mouth and he came closer. I looked to the side, I can’t even imagine kissing him.
But he turned my face towards the front and placed his lips on mine.
The kiss was different and… weird. I never kissed anyone, of course, and it was a new feeling. I didn’t even know how to do it.
He pulled me closer and hugged me. He was continuously kissing me and I couldn’t help but let him do it.
Then he got away and smirked at me.
“Soon you will learn how to kiss”
I was shocked at what I just did. I couldn’t believe I just literally kissed someone. I didn’t really kiss him, but I am sure my mouth did move along with him for a few seconds.
I was embarrassed, and for the first time, I was angry about something.
“How can you kiss me like that?” I said in a tone I never used before.
He looked at me keenly and then scoffed. “Why can’t I?”
“You didn’t buy me, you are just my boyfriend and that too forced so!” I almost yelled. “Don’t try to control me!”
He pushed me against the wall, and my breath stopped for a mere second. “Don’t. Yell.”
I was taken aback by his changed behaviour. “You should remain the way you are, dumb and dull” he stared right at me. “You seem better that way”
I was shocked by him calling me dumb, and not to say, humiliated. Yeah, I know that I don’t speak much, but I am good at studies and I think I am not dumb!
“How dare--”
“Enough!” he yelled in between. “You don’t know what I can dare to do to you! You should really shut up!”
I was on the verge of tears as he was yelling at me. I have never felt this scared my entire life.
“Hey? Is everything okay?” I heard a knock on the door and he scoffed and got away.
“Be in limits” he spoke to me and went and opened the door.
It wasn’t locked, but I guess Joe knew that we were together. He knows I don't like people around, why did he let Ace in?
“Yeah, yeah. There was this beetle, and it even scared me. So I yelled at it!”
Joe laughed. “Yelled at it?”
“Yes. It flew away” Ace made a smart face.
Joe just laughed and looked at me. “That’s why she is so pale, huh? Take care of her, I am in my room”
I so wanted to stop him, but I was unable to. He left the room and Ace closed the door.
“So he is in his room” he smirked. “Wouldn’t hear a noise, would he?”
