His Missing Past

“Money sure can buy many things, huh…” I murmured as I stood next to the swimming pool with my eyes on the cityscape that stretched as far as the sky could see.

“Sure, it can, but then again, there are many things that money can’t buy either. Not saying having money is a bad thing…” Ace replied casually.

Ace wrapped his arms loosely around my body from behind and I leaned back into his warmth. I wonder if we’ll still be together when the season changes and when this season repeats itself. Year after year after year, will we still be together just like this?

“What are you thinking about?” Ace asked when the silence between us stretched on.

“Hmm…how I want to head inside and look at more of your books,” I replied as I turned around in his arms to offer him my smile.

I must have been too shy to tell him my honest thoughts. Also, I didn’t want him to think that I still felt quite insecure about our relationship.

“Sure…” Ace murmured with slight confusion.
