CLEARING THE AIR

Fay finished eating, and got up to wash her plate, when Ace grabbed it from her hand.

"I'll do it," he said.

"Okay." She shrugged, and gave it to him.

As he washed, she observed his body movement from behind.

He was simply a magnificent man, and his strength unnerved her.

All done, he turned abruptly, and caught her staring.

"Do you want me to get you anything else?" He asked, already creating some distance between them as he walked towards the fridge.

Once more, she sighed in frustration. She didn't know how long she could hold back, before crashing out.

"Water?" He asked.

"Still have mine," she replied.

"Alright."

He pulled out a can of beer, and closed the fridge.

Surprised, she scoffed, grabbing his attention.

"What?" He asked, as he opened the cold beer.

"Never took you for a beer drinker. Only ever seen you drink whiskey, tequila or wine," she said.
