Touching the Heart of Ace

4.30 p.m.

He said he would be back by three or four in the evening. Where was he? Did he forget about me? What was he doing there anyways? Shouldn??t he be with me?

??You have no idea what your warmth does to me... I cannot let this ever go.?? Did he forget what he did to me when I followed him innocently to help him with his files?

Well, I still had that warmth, where was he?

I heard a shriek beside me, when someone was thrown across the dance floor. Liam was livid and he wanted to beat the crap out of the guy on the floor. But he seemed to breath his control in and he ripped the wallet off the guy.

??Man! That is my rent money!!! You fucking hobo! You, thief.??

??Imma take hun?? fifty dollars! Stuck the rest shit up yo ass!?? Liam counted the money and threw the rest on Jerry and kicked his shin.

??What the hell is going on??? Someone asked. Was I the only one who saw the tears in Liam??s eyes?

??Hell, I will see you tomorrow.?? I snatched my bag off the floor and ran to Liam.

??Oh, hey man.??

??You okay, Liam???

He thought of lying but decided against it. ??No.??

Jerry was supposedly Liam??s good friend. But the guy smooched off Liam a lot. He did not mind giving his friend money but Jerry tricked Liam into believing he broke his Clark??s table and made him pay one fifty bucks.

Thankfully Rupert started his class on Logarithms.

??Thanks.??

??It is just a conversation, Liam.??

??No, not for dat. For school. You pay money.?? I froze. Liam was not supposed to know that.

??They did??n tell me shit. I saw a cheque.?? I did not know what to do, but Liam did not seem to mind.

??I don?? like the geo lady.??

??Oh. She came with good credentials. What is wrong???

He shrugged.

??Tell me Liam.??

??I don?? no. She is snappi?? me for jokes. I heard her talk.??

I hated those kind of people. If Liam knew everything, he would not need help, now would he?

??English lady is good. She no happy wid me. But... she no make no fun of me for shit.??

??Of course she is not happy. You have to add ??shit?? in each sentence.??

Liam laughed.

??I will take care of geo.?? He nodded. ??People like her should not teach.??

??I??m dumb.?? He told me like it was no big deal.

??For the time being, may be. You have the capability to learn. It is okay to be stupid sometimes and not to know what is going on. Learn Liam. Ask away. Thank you for notifying about that issue. Ned will look into the matter.??

??He take me to museum tomorrow.??

Wow! Grammatically incorrect but that was good progress. Was Liam blushing?

??Miss. English ordered a cane, for my ??shit??.??

I did not know what was so funny about but we were laughing like crazy, slapping on our thighs. His teacher for language was 5-foot tiny, retired school teacher with an adorable Tweety face. Her spanking 6 foot 6 Liam with a cane was funny, right? Or was I just crazy?

We agreed to meet tomorrow at the bank. Liam tried to give me some money for his tuition. I told him I would collect it later. So, we planned to start a savings account under his name. I was not going to take his money, but it was good to have savings.

5.30 p.m.

My good mood vanished when I reached to an empty penthouse. I pressed down my passive-aggressive need to leave to the dorms. I had promised him I would be here waiting for him in the morning.

I woke up along with him though he protested. But I was not going to let him leave without a fresh memory of myself. I made him his favourite black coffee, packed him some snacks, gave him a good blow job and helped him dress.

Did he forget me already? Where was he?

Please leave a voice message.

I squished down my need to scream. He might be stuck in traffic. He took his jet but the aerodrome was half an hour away. He had no reason to switch his phone off, right? He could just call me and inform he would be late, right?

I did everything I could think off to take my mind off Robbie. But the bastard had meant it when he promised me I would remember his absence every second.

I stared at the multiple proofs of our love making on my body. I smiled; thinking of the similar ones I had given him too. But was he missing me?

He came back at 6.49 pm.

By then my mind was fucking tight with anger and resentment. I had no idea who I was projecting that too. I just knew that it was not to Robbie, because all I felt was relief when I saw his tired body.

He was here. That was all that mattered.

??Your phone was switched off.?? My voice a bit snippy when I noticed he did not bring me any gifts. Did he forget about me?

??Sorry, Angel, I forgot to switch it on.??

I waited for a few moments to know the reason why he was late but he stood there at the door step. His head hung low.

I could be a passive aggressive bitch later. He was tired and looking a bit lost.

I sighed. ??Come in, Robbie. You look so tired.??

??I am fine, Angel. Just tired.??

Huh?

Silly baby! Was he worried would throw a tantrum?
