Chapter 18

Ace POV

I watched her as they all laughed watching the TV. Everyone was focused on the movie, but I was too mesmerized by her beauty to look away.

Suddenly she looked at me and raised her eyebrows as if to ask what. I shook my head, and she looked back at the TV, and then at me.

She leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. I felt heat all over my body and just looked straight ahead. Soon, it all calmed down and I diverted my focus to the movie playing on the screen.

Veronica POV

I climbed up the stairs to my bed after saying goodnight to everyone. I was just about to open the door when I felt two arms snake around my waist. I laughed as I looked into his dark blue eyes.

They were filled with mischief and love. He leaned over to my ear to say something.

"Why don't you join me on my bed tonight?" He whispered huskily.

I pushed him and laughed. "We just got together, Ace. You'll have to wait for that to happen."

I opened the door, looked back at him, and winked.

As the girls and I changed into our pajamas and climbed into bed, Brey called me.

"Are you happy now?" She asked.

I looked at her and smiled widely.

"Very," I responded. She smiled back as Allison switched the lights off and they all slept.

I stayed awake. Wondering what would happen in the next four days here.

Would we meet Damien again? 

What would happen to mine and Ace's relationship?

Would we be in a long-distance relationship?

What is Damien up to now? I remained awake for a good deal of the night with all these questions running through my head.

Eventually, I fell asleep, in a fantasy.
