Tongue Slip!

Entering her room, she smashed the door hard and sat down "Why? Why? Do I embarrass myself in front of him every time? Ridiculous! Stupid! Idiot!!" she scolded herself, slamming the floor and biting the bottom lip. Her legs were still trembling after being in a shameful situation.

Frowning and pulling her lips inside, she crawled towards her wooden cupboard with her head lowered and eyes facing the ground. Reaching the clothes rack, she stood a little and pulled the blue jeans. "It's all because of you! Shouldn't you remind me to take you?" Nina feebly asked, glaring at the poor jeans.

She was even unable to stand up to put on the pant on recalling how she stood semi-naked in front of Ace. Remembering every action, made her wonder why and how in the world did she close her eyes. Any girl in that similar situation would cover the naked parts; why she covered her eyes was a mystery.

"I won't go out of the room. Never!! Ever!!" she thought to herself, sitting near the closet, legs crossed with black pants on her lap.

"Nina! Child, do you want to have a light breakfast or some milk before you start?" Jennie knocked on the door and inquired, which made Nina realise that not only she couldn't be in the room anymore. Moreover, she must travel with the person who saw her naked....ok....half-naked was her primary concern.

Receiving no reply from Nina, Jennie called her again, concerned and suspicious. Nina cried, hearing her voice again, "Anything is fine, aunty!" she replied, trying to speak normally, hiding her worry.

"It's already 5:45, Ace told me that you will be starting at sharp 6. So, come out fast and have something. I can't make you go on an empty stomach." Jennie uttered and left to the kitchen.

"I told him that I would be at 6. I shouldn't embarrass myself again," telling herself, she hurriedly put on the jeans and ran fingers through her hair, creating a messy bun. Holding her bag and phone with earphones attached, she ran out and sat on a chair near the dining table.

Putting them on the table, she ran her eyes from left to right and right to left in search of Ace. He seemed to be nowhere beside her. 'Is he at the door or behind me?' She abruptly turned to find him, but he wasn't there too. 'Is he still in his room?'.

Jennie broke her search mission by putting a glass of warm milk in front of her. "Drink this and check if you have taken everything necessary," Jennie reminded her just like her mom always asked.

"Maa!" she exclaimed loudly, remembering that she hadn't contacted her parents for the last two days.

"What happened?" Jennie looked at Nina and the glass which she put on the table. 'Was the milk hot? Did she burn her tongue? What will the humans do in his situation?' Scratching her head with confusion on how to react, "Ace!!Ace!!" she shouted on top of her voice to ask him for help.

Hearing the word, 'Ace', Nina jumped out of her chair and blabbered, "Why...Why....Ace?"

Before Jennie could reply, Ace stood there, glancing at both of them, who appeared startled and worried at the same time. "What? What happened?" Ace inquired as he didn't find any trouble or issue.

"Nina burnt her tongue," Jennie replied, biting the fingernails anxiously.

"What? Me? When?" Nina questioned in return, not knowing from where Jennie got that thought. "How will my tongue burn even before I sip?" Uttering that, she sat down on the chair, facing the opposite direction of Ace.

Ace looked at his mother with narrow eyes and hands folded. "Sorry!" Jennie gestured with her lips. Shaking his head, Ace walked back to the car parked outside. Nina saw Ace out of the door and huffed. Gulping all the milk in one go, she put the empty glass on the table, picking her belongings and waved her hand towards Jennie.

She ran out, climbed the car, and sat beside the driver(Ace). 'Tala!' She got down, put the belongings in the same seat and hopped into the house towards Tala's room.

She tried knocking, slamming and shouting, but Tala didn't answer. 'He is inside or not.' Opening the door slowly, she found Tala sleeping only in boxers. "Sorry! Sorry!" she screamed, closing her eyes. "Mmmmmmm...Mmmmm!" he moaned and turned to the other side even after hearing such a loud sound.

'He is like a father of Hypnos!! (God of Sleep)' Closing the door behind her, she walked to the front door where Jennie was leaning on the door, resting her right hand on the hip. "Able to wake him up?" Jennie sighed and smirked, knowing about her son very well.

Nina shook her head in disappointment.

"Don't Worry! I will inform him and will also make fun of him!" Jennie assured and cracked, making Nina smile too. Giving a hug to Jennie, Nina walked to the big black vehicle and got in. The moment she sat, Ace drove without wasting a second.

Nina looked scared and tense. Her ankles were crossed tightly, and her fingers were constantly tapping on her left hand. 'What should I do? I can't talk to him now! Even if I want to, what should I speak about after that incident? But I can't also sit like a statue. Earphones? No! That would make him more or less like a driver. Should I connect the songs via Bluetooth? Would he like my song preferences? Uffff... Can't he initiate? Mmmmm.....I am bored.'

Ace, on the other hand, was also engaged in driving and thoughts. He wanted to talk, but on what topic was difficult for him. 'Sports? Which game does she like? Movies? What is her genre preference? Songs? Will she enjoy my song collection? Family? Mmmmm....Would it be odd to talk about family after watching her.....long, hot and sexy legs? .....Stop!!....Education? Finally, a good idea! Shhhh!!! What did you study? Which department did you graduate from? Which college did you study in? All these questions are fine. Ace! Why are you thinking so much?'

"Nina! Which department did you graduate from?" he asked in a calm and composed way.

'Finally! I thought that I would die of boredom today.' "Computer Science. What about you?"

"Law!"

"Whhhhhattttt? Superb! Doesn't it require to remember many sections and stuff?" She exclaimed, showing him a thumb finger. The heavy heart that she was carrying calmed down, hearing that. Though she studies fine, seeing a hardworking person always makes her filled with happiness. She somehow always possessed this quality of appreciating the people who work hard and excel.

Grinning to herself and clapping, she folded her right leg onto the seat, turning towards Ace. "Good! Good!!" she remarked, patting Ace on his left shoulder.

Rubbing his temples, he glanced at her, not getting what was so extraordinary about that. Stroking his beard, he took at her from top to bottom, watching her sudden weird behaviour.

As she moved down, he gulped hard as his gaze reached her thigh. His brain ran fast to the morning incident. The curves her thighs and calves had were still vivid in his head. 'Sexy and her cute.....'

Noticing Ace lost in thought, viewing the gear rode, "What?"

"Purple underwear!!"
