Chapter 3

Its only been a week and I felt as if I had knew Ace for a very long time or have met him before in another life.

   Just when i lost all hope in finding the perfect person for me and stopped looking he showed up right Infront of my grandmother's door step. Yes I know it's crazy I literally met Ace at my grandmother's home and they knew him before I even could meet him which is kind of sad and funny at the same time.

   Ace finished school about 2 or 3 years ago and his a year older than me. Figured out the reason why he is always so early up was because he was working

   I was curious to know so much more about him and get to know him better but that would have to be done in person as well.

The weekend was almost around the corner. Ace and I have been speaking about seeing each other for the past week now and finally we can make that happen.

   I really don't know how I am going to react when I see him again but I do know is that I'm going to be extremely shy with him around

Ace

"Am I seeing you this weekend?"

Me   

" Yes. I'll make a way."

Ace

"You better."

   Chatting to him feels so natural and real. Like I've known him my entire life it's just too good to be true and as I read each text he sends the smile on my face grows wider and wider till my cheeks begins to hurt.

  Sometimes I would have to hit myself back to reality after texting Ace due to the cause of making up fake romantic scenarios. Agh wattpad nerds like me need to stop daydreaming it could get our heart broken.

Kim

"Girl your mans is coming Saturday."

   Kim texted me as if I didn't know. I was literally the one that asked him to come. Thanks to Kim and Zion I would have never met Ace but I still didn't fancy Zion even if he is my cousin. Maybe if he changed his ways I would like him more. We barely even spoke to one another or had some sort of bond with each other.

Me.     

" I know lol. I'm nervous."

Kim

"It's only Ace. Don't worry."

   That's the problem it's Ace we talking about here. The guy I been crushing on since the day I met him. How am I supposed to not freak out and just act normal. It's like I'm freaking fan girling over him right now.

   I really cannot wait to see him again. I don't know how Saturday would turn out and how he would react seeing me. I hope he doesn't think I'm ugly or notices all my imperfections or look desperate.

    Somehow the week felt as if it was dragging and time started slowing down.

   Time was definitely not on my side this week and Im all slept out to be sleeping a day away again.

Saturday couldn't come any sooner. It was only Thursday now but it felt like a Monday.

I knew Ace wanted to see me again because he made it his mission to see me again and as grown up as i was, I still had rules to follow therefore I disappointed him on the day we had to meet again.

The plan had totally failed because my mother is not allowing me to go to my grandmother's place and it would make things even worse if she were to find out that I want to be there just to see a boy so how am I supposed to see him.

   The only option I had left was to sleep whole weekend at my cousin's place as it was her birthday sleep over night Friday and she surprisingly invited me.

   I felt bad for using my cousin's though just to see Ace. I guess a girl has to do what a girl got to do.

Ace

"Hi am I still seeing you."

Kylie/Me

"Ofcause."

I really didn't want to end up disappointing him so I have to just see how this weekend plays out and I really hope I do enjoy myself at the sleepover because this would be the very first time sleeping over at my cousin Kara's place in a very long time. The last time I had been there was when I was just a small kid still in pre-school.

Friday I went over to Kara's place for a sleep over and then we stayed up late danced in the dark, listened to music and smoked weed. It was fun actually and it was my first time in a long time that I slept over at her place trying to rebuild a relationship with her because we've lost touch and I really wanted to at  least be close or form a bond with one of my cousins.

She was a cousin from my Dad's side. Her dad and my Dad are brothers they actually look identical like they could be twins somehow. I swear people could get confused between the two. Who knows it might have happened already.

I never really got along with any of my cousins from my father's side or had a meaningful relationship with them. I barely spent time with my grandmother  from his side and she has passed on, may her precious soul rest in peace. I  never visited my aunt's and got spoiled by my other elderly cousin's from his side.

  My one cousin seems financially stable

I doubt that she even like me. she's married and has her own apartment. She's absolutely beautiful too and has amazing hair and taste but she never gave me the kind of attention I expected to get from her the attention she gave my siblings so I believe that she doesn't like me because I'm my mother's daughter.

Anyways while I was sleeping over at my cousin I ran into my ex the Friday night when we decided to smoke weed and somehow he ended up in a fight with his friend which is also someone I grew up with over me. The other guy doesn't even like me and was just trying, well he got it right to provoke my ex. Boys are so wack really. I just couldn't wait for the night to be over to see my crush.

Technically I couldn't call him a crush because the feelings I have is way stronger than the status I gave him and honestly I don't see him as just a crush no more.
