I stared at him with wide eyes, “I… I am coming!”
He chuckled. “Good.”
I sighed. I got out and went towards the door slowly. I didn't even know why I was doing everything he says so easily.
“Well... Why?” I asked him as we entered his house. “Why am I here?”
“Nothing, I just need some company.”
“Where are your parents?”
He looked at me and once again, his eyes turned a little cold and sad at their mention. He ran his hand through his hair. “Doesn’t concern you.”
“Okay.”
I couldn’t care less about his parents, but I really didn’t wanna be alone with him.
“I... Uh, I will come back later. I’ll go home and get changed...” I started speaking while thinking of some good plan to escape from this house.
“No.” he didn’t look back and sat down on the couch. He took out his phone and after a minute, he looked up at me. “Go in, you’ll find the clothes. Suit yourself.”
I looked around. “In? Where?” I asked.
He sighed. “You are acting really dumb.”
“I don’t think I have done a PhD in your house’s map. How am I supposed to know where the clothes are kept?”
“I see, you’ve gotten better at speaking your thoughts out.” he got up and came to me. I took a small step back but he smirked. “Stop being so scared. Come now.”
He started walking towards one of the rooms. “Here.”
I nodded. “No... Cameras, right?”
He raised his eyebrow and then burst out laughing. “Who’d dare insert a camera in MY house?” he exaggerated the word.
“Yeah...” I nodded.
Originally, I intended to ask if he had inserted a camera. But I guess it’s better he didn’t understand. No one knows what will trigger him! And more, no one knows which trigger will make him kill me!
I went inside the room. The room was really beautiful. The bedsheets were of pink colour and the room painted with pink and white. I wondered why he would have a girl’s room in his house.
I don’t think he has a sister...
Well, I am really thinking too much. Why should I care?
I quickly went over to the wardrobes to check out the clothes. There were a bunch of them and I smiled wholeheartedly for a while looking at the brand new pair of clothes. They looked amazing.
Coming from a not-so-rich or even good family, I never got to wear very good clothes. After my mom and dad divorced, I only ever got normal clothes.
I exhaled heavily. Some new clothes don’t mean that I can stay with this guy!! After what I saw in the mornin’, I don’t think I wanna mess with him!
I took out some normal clothes and then took a quick look around the big room. After making sure there were no hidden surveillance cameras, I changed my clothes.
I came out of the room and looked around. I couldn't find Ace anywhere.
“Ace?”
I looked around to make sure he hadn’t left me at such a place, all alone. I didn’t wanna be alone in a strange place. Moreover, everything related to him screams danger.
“Ace, where are you?” I asked again, and suddenly, someone pulled me from behind.
I screamed, but that person kept a hand on my face. I could feel his body against mine and I suddenly knew it was Ace.
“Ace?” I asked, muffled.
He turned me around. He looked into my eyes and for a second, his expressions softened.
Then he didn’t care. He pulled me closer and joined our lips for a wild and passionate kiss.
