Chapter 16:“Fuck, Lilly”

♡︎ Belle's pov ♡︎

I woke up with an arm around my waist and my arm around someone's waist.

It was Ace.

Again.

I quickly removed my arm and tried to remove his arm, but every time I try to remove it, he would just tighten his grip on me.

After trying to remove his arm, I failed, so I tried to wiggle out of the bed. That failed too. He won't let me move a bit.

I was starting to get angry, so I just glared at Alex's sleeping face, then slapped his shoulder, waking him up.

He just hummed and tightened his grip on me, then went to sleep.

'That little dickhead'

I slapped his shoulder again, making sure to wake him up for real this time.

"Stop hitting me," he said in his morning voice.

'fuck'
'fuck you'

"Remove your arm or ill chop it," I said, making him remove his arm and turn to the other side and went back to sleep.

I go up and went to the bathroom right after that. I headed home and showered considering its Saturday. there's no school today so ill just spend the rest of the day in my home, in my bed.

I went to my room and laid down to read some books, forgetting to even eat breakfast.

After 5 minutes of reading, I was starting to get hungry.

"knock knock" I heard someone from outside my door. I didn't respond, thinking that if I didn't respond, they'll leave.

"I'm coming in." the door opened, revealing Ace with two plates.

"What are you doing here?"

"I am bored, and we have a project to do, so get up and eat my waffles,"

'oh my god'
'come here every day with food then'

"I don't like waffles,"

"Well, my waffles will change your mind. " He came in and gave me my plate, then grabbed Nutella and chocolate syrup.

"Thank you, but I think ill pass,"

'I want to eat them so bad'

"No," he said as he cut a piece of waffle and shoved it into my mouth.

"So do you like it?" he asked me, smiling, waiting for my answer as I chewed it.

'These waffles are so delicious'

"I didn't like them,"

"Oh. " his smile went away as he stood up and grabbed both plates.

"Well, ill eat them with my mom," he said as he headed to the door, but I quickly stood up and went to the door, blocking the door.

"I loved them. Give it to me," I said as I looked at my plate.

"I knew you liked them," he smirked and turned around and put the plates on my study table as I grabbed another chair to sit.

"You have to send me the recipe," I said as I ate my waffle.

"It's my special recipe. Only I know. If you want to eat waffles just tell me, I'll do them," Ace said.

"Can you be my chef?"

"No,"

'damn it'

After we ate, we cleaned up and started working on our project.

"No, you fucker that wrong," I said as I slapped his hand away from my laptop.

"It is you are the dumb fuck here. " he moved my hands away from my laptop then moved my laptop to him.

He started typing on my laptop and every time I tried to see it, he would glare at me and moved the laptop away from my face.

'Dickhead'

"See, I told you it's correct," he said, smirking as he turned my laptop to my view.

"That's wrong,"

"Shut up before I do shut you up. I know my what I am doing," he said as he continued to read the article.

"Whatever. " I rolled my eyes as I grabbed his book and continued to read.

AFTER A FEW HOURS

"my back hurts," Ace said as he groaned

"My shoulder hurts," I said, stretching.

"Can you do a back massage for me?," Ace asked.

"No,"

"ill do shoulder massage for you too,"

'hm'
'I mean, if I get a massage I don't mind.'

"Fine, lay down. " I stood up and let him lay down on his stomach, on my bed.

I sat next to him and started to massage his back.

"Sit on it,"

"what,"

"sit on my back,"

"no I won't,"

"Please. " I rolled my eyes and sat on his back.

Now I am comfortable to do the massage better.

"Oh fuck," he said as he shoved his head into my pillow.

"You smell like Lilly," he said as he raised his head up from my pillow.

"Is it good?" I asked about the massage.

"Yeah, you smell nice,"

"I meant the massage,"

"That's amazing," he said as he shoved his head into my pillow, hugging it.

I was working on the upper part of his back and slowly going down to his lower back. Once I reached his lower back I heard a groan from Ace.

"fuck, Lilly," Ace said.

"What?" I removed my hand, thinking I hurt him by accident.

"Put your hands back, Lilly,"

I put them back and continued. After a few minutes I was tired, and I wanted my massage, so I stopped.

"That's it,"

"No Lilly please," Ace said.

"My arms hurt and I want my shoulder massage now." I said to Ace, who groaned and sat on my bed.

"I'll give you the best shoulder message you have ever received, just like you gave me the best back massage," Ace said as started to massage my shoulders.

'fuck that is good'

I turned my face to side to give him more space to work on my right shoulder, then he turned to my left shoulder.

After ten minutes, he finished and laid down next to me on my bed.

"Horror movie?" Ace asked.

"I'm down, I'll go make popcorn," I said as I stood up from my bed and went downstairs to the kitchen.

"Hey mom,"

"hey Mrs. King,"

"Hi belle hi Alex," my mom said as she watched TV.

"Do we have popcorn?" I asked mom.

"Yeah, we have some bags in one of the cabinets,"

"Do you want some?"

"No, I'm heading out to dinner with your dad," she pointed at me, "and your parents" she pointed at Ace.

"My parents?" Ace asked my mom, who only nodded.

"Cool," Ace said as he walked behind me to the kitchen.

I looked in the cabinets, searching for the popcorn bags.

"I can't find them," I said to Ace.

"Try the upper cabinets, " he said and pointed at them.

I stood on the tip of my toes of opened the cabinets, and finally I found them, but they were too high for me to reach even on the tip of my toes.

I was about to climb on the counter when someone came close to me and grabbed the popcorn bags and gave them to me, still very close.

"Thank you," I said as I grabbed the bags and tried to slide to the side, but Ace put his hand on the counter, stopping me.

I tried to slide from the other side, but again he put his other hand on the kitchen counter.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Trying to understand my illness,"

"You have an illness? are you okay?" I asked him as I put my free hand on his shoulder.

"I do. Can you help me with it?,"

"What's your illness?" I asked him.

"I can't get away from you," he said.

'This ass is on with his jokes again.'

"You ass. " I hit his shoulder and glared at him.

"I really thought you had an illness,"

"I'm not joking," he said with a serious look.

"Wait what?"

"I'm just kidding," Ace said as he moved away from me.

'No wait-'
'no? Why did you say no?'
'nothing'
'didn't you want him close to you?'
'I don't know'

(GO BACK TO THE MASSAGE)

"Oh fuck," I said as I hugged Lilly's pillow and smelled it.

'It smells like Lilly flower'
'I love it'

"you smell like Lilly,"

"Is it good?" she asked.

'Of course it's good you smell like it.'

"yeah, you smell nice,"

"I meant the massage,"

'oh'

"That's amazing," I said and hugged her pillow.

After a while of working on my upper back, she started going to my lower back. I couldn't help it.

"fuck, Lilly,"

'why did I say that?'
'why is my heart beating raised?'
'am I dying?'
'I hope not'

"What?" she said as she removed her hand from my back.

'No continue'

"put your hands back, Lilly,"

After a while she stopped the massage because she was getting tired, so I massaged her shoulders.

After that, we decided to watch a movie and make popcorn. I sat on the chair texting my friends.

"I can't find them," I heard Lilly say. I looked at her.

"Try the upper cabinets," I said and pointed at them. She turned and searched for them.

Later, she found the popcorn bur it was too high for her to reach. Letting out a sigh, she was about to climb on the counter, but I went behind her and grabbed a few bags, with her still in front of me.

She looked at the bags and grabbed a few, then turned to me, but I was still close to her, surprising her.

'God, she looks so beautiful.'

She tried to go away from me by sliding. I don't know what got into me, but I put my hand on the counter blocking her way. Same thing happened with the other side.

I have this urge to just keep her close to me and not let her leave.

"What are you doing?" she asked me.

"Trying to understand my illness," I said joking.

"You have an illness? are you okay?" she asked as she touched my shoulder with a concerned look on her face.

'She cares?'

"I do. Can you help me with it? " I played along with my joke.

"What's your illness?"

"I can't get away from you" fuck, why did I say that.

I couldn't think of anything else, but it's not like it's not true. It was true I couldn't stay away. That's why I came here in the first place to hang out with her, as the excuse was the project.

'I'm really sick'

"You ass" she hit my shoulder glaring at me, but a little smile was showing up on her face.

"I really thought you had an illness,"

'she cares'

"I'm not joking," I said, referring to the last thing I said.

'fuck, it slipped again'

"Wait what?"

"I'm just kidding," I said as I moved away from her, even though deep down I wanted to stay like that longer.

She then went ahead and put the popcorn in the microwave and waited for it to finish.

AFTER A WHILE

We were in the middle of the movie and let me tell you, when Lilly is scared, no one can come near her. She will hit you.

'She punches hard'

Halfway into the movie, there was a knock on her door. I paused the movie.

"Come in" Lilly said.

The door opened, revealing Katarina, Lilly's younger sister, and Mrs. King.

"Your sister just showered, and she wanted her hair in two French braids. Can you braid it?" Mrs. king said to Lilly, as Lilly nodded and smiled at her sister.

"Come here, Kat" Lilly said as she patted the space on the bed, making Katarina walk to her with a smile. She hugged her and sat on the bed.

Lilly brushed her sister's hair, and she parted her hair as she started braiding it and I watched closely, trying to learn who to do a braid.

'Why am I even watching?'

Yet I still kept looking at her doing Katarina's hair. Sometimes I would just watch Lilly and not pay attention to the braids.

After a while, she finished Kat's hair, she laid back down.

"How did you know how to do braids?" I asked her.

"I taught myself," Lilly said.

"Can you do your hair?"

"I can. I can even do your hair," she said.

"Well, maybe you can do mine sometime," I said.

"Maybe," she said as she continued the movie.

I had this urge to braid her hair in the middle of the movie, so I made her lay head on my lap, so I can get comfortable doing her hair.

"What is it?" Lilly asked as she laid on my lap.

"I want to do a braid on your hair," I said, making her chuckle.

"Give me your best shot," she said as she continued watching the movie.

I tried to braid a little, but I got confused and irritated.

"This is not working," I said as I sighed.

"Let me see how you did it," Lilly said.

I pulled her hair to her face to show her. She looked at it and laughed.

"That's so bad. " she untied her hair.

"Here, let me show you. " she started to braid her hair slowly for me to understand.

I grabbed another strand of her hair and started to do what she was doing not so long after I did a full braid and Lilly liked it.

'Her hair smells nice'
'she's nice'
