TIDES

Completely dazed, Fay walked into her room, and plopped on the bed. Her fingers remained on her lip, stroking every bit Ace kissed.

Her head was a mess. So many thoughts struggled to form at the same time. The most important was probably the big question.

Why would he kiss her like that? He upended everything. Turned her feelings upside down. She wondered if she was just a game to him. A toy he could play with every time he was bored.

It made no sense. Her still eyes moved a little, and found her phone on her bedside table.

Stretching trembling hands, she picked it up, and put it on.

She went straight to her browser.

"What does it mean when a man suddenly kisses you?" She typed into her search bar.

"He wants you?" She scoffed. "As the top search too."

Shuddering at the weirdness of what she was doing, she pushed the phone aside. Not even for a moment did she believe Ace could possibly want her.
