Skylar's POV

Monday wasn't that bad as I expected.
I was in a really good mood today and I think many people could notice that. 

"Hey" Flynn whispered and I faced him. We were sitting on the lecture. "There's this party on Friday. Will you come?"

"Uhm I don't know, you know that it's not my type of scenery."

I didn't want to go to be honest. The last few Fridays I spent partying and I finally wanted some peaceful evening. Preferably with a good book in my hands. Or with my friends.

"Oh come on, it will be in my friend's house. She's really cool."

"I wanted to invite my best friends to hang out together. I haven't seen them for a while."

We talked only on FaceTime and our  conversations weren't that long because either I had to study, or they were simply busy. I want to catch up with them.

"Well, you can take them with us. You once told me that they like parties." He suggested, smiling at me.

I sighed. I didn't want to meet Chloe again or other annoying people. But I'm certain that Liv and Lena would rather spend their free time having fun and not just sittting with me at home.

"Okay" I said defeatedly and Flynn grinned at me triumphantly.

"Please be quiet." Our professor said and we stopped talking, focusing on making notes.

*******

Our classes came to the end and now I was going towards the entrance. I was a bit disappointed when I didn't see Ace anywhere. Well, he didn't say specifically that he would wait for me after classes but still...

I decided to go for a walk instead of taking a bus. The weather wasn't that pleasant today but I just love walking.  When I was about to enter the building where my flat was, I heard a deep voice behind me.

"Skylar!"

"Jacob, hi." I said, turning around.

He was wearing a white t-shirt, black trousers and black jacket. He was looking at me with a small smile on his face.

"I haven't seen you for a while." He said, coming closer to me.

"Uhm, yeah, I guess."

I looked down at my feet, chewing on my cheek. I didn't know what else to say.  He is cool but sometimes too straightforward and...intimidating.

He suddenly grabbed my cheek slightly and lifted up my head so I could look at him. A half-smile on his lips.

"I think you own me a walk, don't you think?"

I didn't even had time to reply.

"She doesn't own you anything."

I knew who it was. I would recognise his voice everywhere. I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist instantly and I looked up at him.

Ace was looking good as always. All in black, obviously, and his brown, silky hair was glistening in the sun. He must have come straight from his work because he was wearing his black suit.

Damn

His jaw was clenched and he was breathing fast.

"Oh, hello Ace. I was just talking to Skylar. We wanted to go for a walk. You can go with us but I ain't gonna lie that I'd rather you not." He came closer to Ace and smirked cockily.

Wrong move mate

Why do they always have to act like that?

"She isn't going anywhere with you.  Fuck off and leave her alone." Ace said in a deadly tone.

I took in the sight of his posture. He looked confident and not scared at all. Pushed back shoulders, chin high. I noticed that his left hand was squeezed into fist.

"Oh yeah? And why is that? Ohh right. Because you are such a perfect guy." He came even closer that their faces were inches apart. "You think you can protect her? Hm?! The same shit you told Elle and look where she is now!"

Suddenly, Ace lost it and before I knew it, he started punching Jacob in the face. He was furious. I threw my hand over my mouth and gasped. Jacob was lying on the ground in a second and Ace was on the top of him, but after a few seconds, it was Ace who was lying on the ground and receiving a serie of punches.

"Enough! Stop it!" I tried to stopped them but I couldn't.

Jacob grabbed Ace's head, pulled it down, and hit him with his knee. They both were covered in blood, I couldn't look at the sight in front of me. Ace punched Jacob in his nose and I could hear how it cracked. He was acting like a mad man. I've never seen him like this. The way he was clenching his teeth, his eyebrows furrowed. It clearly wasn't the first time he was doing this. But he would never hurt me, right?

Of course he wouldn't!

What even kind of question is that?

"Ace, please, you're scaring me..." I almost whispered and wrapped my arms around myself protectively.

My words were like a bucket of cold water because Ace stopped immediately and looked up at me with his mouth slightly open. He stood up swiftly and wanted to come closer to me but I stepped back, which made him stop walking.

"Please don't do it. You know I would never hurt you." He started approaching me slowly and I just stood still. I was rooted to the spot.

A lonely tear slipped down my cheek. He put his hand on it hesitantly, not knowing if I would let him touch me, and I leaned into his touch, closing my eyes. 

I hate violence. I hate when people are aggresive towards one another because you never know what your actions or words even can do to someone. I know it because...I experienced it myself. And it's not nice, let me tell you that. I think people have no idea for how long their comments can be stuck in someone's head.

He pressed his forehead against mine and took a deep breath. I felt something wet on my hand. I opened my eyes and saw a red stain on it. I pulled away and looked up at Ace, whose face was covered in blood.

"Come with me." I said softly and took his hand in mine, leading us up to my flat.

I looked at Jacob who seemed fine because he stood up from the ground and started walking away. I wanted to check if he was okay but he was already gone. When we entered, I led him to my bathroom.

"Sit down." I told him and he sat on the closed toilet lid. I turned around and reached to the drawer for medical kit.

"It's nothing, I've been through worse. I'll just splash some water on my face."

He wanted to stand up but I stopped him, bringing up my hand to his chest and pushing him back down.

"Ace, don't even start. Your whole face is covered in fucking blood and if I want to wash it and take a look on it, you will fucking let me, you hear me?"

He was looking at me like I was crazy with his beautiful eyes and after a few seconds, a small smirk started to form on his face.

"You look hot when you're angry."

"Ugh, you're unbelievable." I muttered and turned around to open my medical kit, blushing so hard. I heard him chuckle behind me.

I grabbed some cotton and soaked it in hydrogen peroxide, then gently pressed it against his wound on his forehead. He didn't even flinch.

"Are you made of stone or something? If I were you, I would be crying right now." I said and a sexy chuckle left his mouth again. I love this sound.

Suddenly, I felt his hands traveling on both my sides. I inhaled sharply.

"Ace" I wanted to sound more stern but it came out rather as a whisper. "I have to finish cleaning your wounds."

"Then do it. I'm not stopping you." He said huskily and pulled me closer to him.

His hands slid down to my ass and squeezeed it. I let out a small gasp.

"It's uhm h-hard to concentrate when you're doing this." I stuttered.

"When I'm doing what?" He leaned forward that I could feel his breath on my neck.

"You k-know what."

I swear I could cum just from his touch alone.

"No. Tell me." God, this demanding voice of his. "When I'm doing what?"

"T-touching me like t-this."

He started planting kisses on my neck and I closed my eyes. I tilted my head to the right, giving him better access. I put my hands on his hair and gripped it tightly when he bit my skin, and that made him let out a hot groan.

He situated me on his lap, that I was straddling him now, and smashed his lips against mine feverishly. I don't  think I will ever get used to this. His lips were so soft and fit perfectly with mine. I moaned into his mouth when his grip on my ass tightened.

"I can't get enough of you, Skylar. You're on my mind all the fucking time."

Yeah, tell me about it. The feeling is mutual, I can assure you.

His one hand was still on my waist while the other one traveled down my throat, inching lower and lower until it reached my breast and squeezed it gently.

"Ace" I breathed out.

"Mhm I could listen to this forever." He mumbled against my swollen lips.

He was playing with my nipple through the material and I felt my wetness pooling in my panties.

Without even realising it, I started rotating my hips onto him, making us both moan. I let my mouth travel from his mouth to his neck. His breath came out in puffs while I kept planting kisses on the skin of his neck. I felt him twitched in his trousers and a sexy groan left his mouth. Ace grasped my face to look at him.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you,  princess."

He ran his thumb over my bottom lip. In his eyes was pure lust and I could see that he was trying so hard to restrain himself.

"I'm home!"

I flinched slightly when I heard Laura's voice. I didn't want to stop. I wanted to stay with Ace. He must have noticed my long face and pecked my lips before chuckling slightly.

"Don't worry, bella. We will finish it later." He smirked and slapped my ass playfully before we left the bathroom. 

When we entered the kitchen, Laura was making something to eat.

"Hi" I said and she turned around.

"Oh hey" she replied. "I'm making dinner. Ace, will you stay and eat with us?"

"Uhm yeah, sure." He scratched the back of his neck and we both sat down at the table.

I suddenly remembered something. I couldn't help but think who Elle is. Jacob said that Ace couldn't protect her, but what does it mean? I wanted to ask him about it but I was scared that I would spoil the atmosphere. Or maybe I was scared of what his answer would be? She must have been important to him judging by the way he reacted.

And there's also another thing. What would Ace protect me from? What was Jacob talking about?

"What's wrong?" Ace's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Nothing." I said quickly, trying to hide my confusion with a smile.

I think he didn't really buy it but he dropped it, fortunately.

"So, how was your day?" Laura asked when we sat at the table.

She's made mac and cheese. It smelled so good and I was so freaking hungry that I started eating immediately.

"Pretty good, thanks. I have two tests with Mrs Wasilewska next week though. She's crazy. A guy from my class stood up to her once and she gives him quizzes during every damn class." I laughed and Laura joined me.

She looked at Ace so I glanced at him too and saw that he was already looking at me. Smiling. God, I love his smile.

"You have a really pretty smile, you know? " I blurted out without thinking and instantly felt my cheeks redden.

I looked down at my hands but he lifted my head, and gave me a quick, but still toe-curling kiss. He was looking me in the eyes, his face inches from mine.

"I like yours more."

And we went back to eating. Laura cleared her throat and I looked at her with wide eyes. Jesus, I forgot that she was here.

"Soo, Flynn told me that you want to go to that Lucy's party on Friday?" She asked and I saw from the corner of my eye that Ace was looking in my direction, with a mouthful of pasta. 

"Uhm I didn't want to go actually, you know how I feel about parties. But Flynn talked me into this. He said that I could invite Lena and Olivia. I'm sure they will want to come."

"I'll drive you." Ace suddenly said.

"You're coming?" I asked raising my eyebrows a bit.

"I wasn't sure if I wanted to go but now when I know you're going, I guess, I'll have to go with you."

"Well, you don't have to go if you don't want to." I shrugged and lowered my head a little playing with my fork.

I mean, don't get me wrong, of course I want him there but I don't like when people do something they don't enjoy doing just because they don't want to make someone upset. I do that too often in my life and it sucks.

"Okay, let me rephrase that." Ace grabbed my face again and continued "I'm going to that party because I want to spend my time with my amazing girlfriend." He smiled boyishly, showing me his dimples. I smiled too and nodded my head so we could drop it.

After dinner, Ace had to go. He gave me a ton of kisses and left eventually. I came back to the living room where Laura was sitting on the couch and watching TV.

"I'll call the girls and ask them if they can come over on Friday." I said, taking my phone out of my pocket.

"Skylar?" Laura asked and I hummed, dialing Lena's number.

"He really likes you." I looked up from my phone at her "I can see that." She smiled warmly and I smiled back, feeling so happy. I dialed Lena's number.

- Hey girl, what's up?

"Hi, I wanted to ask you if you have any plans for Friday?"

  - Uhm I don't think so, why? You miss us already?

"I'm going to a party and thought that you and Liv could come."

  - Yeah, sure. I think she doesn't have any plans.

"That's great. So ask her and let me know."

  - All right. And how are you, by the way? Anything interesting happened? Should I kick someone's ass?

I giggled.

"No, not really, so kicking someone's ass won't be necessary."

Laura suddenly came up to me and stood right beside me, leaning forward so Lena could hear what she had to say.

"The relationship of our little Skylar is getting more and more serious! They were alone at home while I arrived and Skylar looked like a tomato!"

  - No way! Skylar honey, should I bring you a pack of condoms when I come over on Friday?

I felt my cheeks becoming red again and I pressed my palm to my forehead.

"Can you guys stop? No one needs condoms and especially not me!"

They were laughing so hard and I couldn't help but laugh as well, shaking my head at their craziness.  We talked for a little while longer until we hung up. I was so exhausted that I went straight to the bathroom, took a shower and went to bed. I was lying on my side and looking at the sky through the window. The moon was so big and bright. When my eyelids became heavy I heard that I got a message.

   Goodnight, princess. ~ Ace

I was grinning at my phone like a fool.

  Goodnight xoxo ~ me

I wish I could always fall asleep this happy.
