Touching the Heart of Ace

Someone was watching us. I could feel the stare between the shoulder blades. I shivered.

??Are you cold??? Tristian did not wait for my answer and pulled me closer.

I smiled. He was nice.

He was always nice. I put my hand around his waist.

I thought it would be awkward to walk like this but it was nice.

??Not anymore.?? I liked his hugs.

Not too tight, not too loose, perfect!

It was perfect.

Perfect.

??What are you thinking???

??Your hugs are perfect.??

He kissed my forehead. I smiled a lot these days. It was like the life goal of Tristian was to see me smile.

??Staying the night??? I asked. Was it too early to start spending time at each other??s places?

It started out of nowhere.

After taking almost a week to plan our ??perfect?? date to a botanical garden and a butterfly sanctuary, Tristian was taking me out on every other day. It was like he had so many ideas on how our dates should be and he would forget it, if he did not execute it right away.

One of those days we walked around so much, that we were both so tired and achy. So, instead of letting him leave right after, I invited him in and we watched a boring movie he liked. Half way through, poor guy fell asleep with his head on my lap.

We sort of stayed at each other??s places from then on, mainly on mine, because of early classes.

??Are you cooking tonight???

??Yes.??

??Definitely staying.??

I chuckled. ??Are you dating me for free food???

??This is where you expect me to feel ashamed of myself and praise your amazing personality but all I am going to ask is ??What gave it away?????
