Chapter 12

Keep calm, I probably heard wrong. Ace isn't the creepy guy next door that plays music and has the weird aura surely it's my imagination that he said 503. While my train of thoughts is steaming I didn't realise that ace had sat me on the floor as was trying to get me to answer questions like a doctor doing a physical exam. My train of thoughts snaps as I'm lifted up and I'm carried to aces dorm room, he slightly adjusts me to use his key, then carries me into the dorm bridal style toward the bed. As soon as he set me down I curl up into a ball of confusion, guilt, a sense of joy and closure as I now know who lives here. While I'm curled up he takes the opportunity to remove my shoes and places a blanket over me, I feel my arms grip loosen from my legs and I straighten out on the bed, not daring to look ace in the eye. I feel the mattress shift and my whole body goes tense with fear. The blanket that half encases my body is lifted and I feel warmth wash over me from behind, I turn around gently yet almost roboticly. Once spun around I am half nailed to the spot as ace drapes his arms around me while pulling the blanket over us both. I feel sparks of warmth as his hands explore my back under the covers, then I feel them drift to rest on my hips. I Bury my head into aces chest as I have yet to open my eyes since being placed on the bed. I can feel him breathing into my hair, long heavy breaths. Then he suddenly breaks the heavy silence, "are you okay your shaking". At that moment I realise that I was in fact shaking as if I was frost bitten, I lift my head from his chest to look him in the eye...
