Skylar's POV

Finally, today is the day. The gala day. Ace was supposed to come back yesterday but something important came up and he had to stay longer. He will arrive right before the gala and pick me up. I really can't wait to see him. It's been just a few days but it feels like someone has taken a part of me.

When it comes to the "Mr. Thomson situation", it's getting really uncomfortable. On Tuesday he asked me to help him and stay after classes because apparently I was talking during his lesson.

But I didn't say a word!

I had to arrange all the books on the shelves...That was the task he told me to do. I could feel his gaze on me all the time and when I turned my head towards his direction, he didn't even try to hide that he was indeed, staring at me.

Because of the fact that I failed another test, he asked me yesterday to stay longer tomorrow so he can explain things to me, but since tomorrow is today, and today is the gala so I didn't go to the uni, and so I will not appear. I hope he won't be mad. I told Flynn to cover for me if he asks questions about my absence.

Laura went to her family so she won't go with me. It's such a pity because I would feel so much better if she was there with me, but I'm not mad at her or anything. I understand that she wants to spend more time with her family and help her parents at work so she knows that her dad doesn't strain himself too much.

I took a long, relaxing bath, shaved literally everywhere (and it obviously has nothing to do with the fact that Ace is coming back today), did my hair and make-up and now I was standing in front of my phone, getting ready. Lena and Olivia videocalled me because they wanted to see how I would look. The red dress and high heels, which Liv ordered, came yesterday and the moment I unpacked it, I knew that it was worth all that money.

I think I've never had anything red in my wardrobe but after that dress, this is definitely going to change. It is quite short but not too short and one shoulder is bare. High heels are black and simple, but pretty anyway. When I was ready, I stood in front of my phone so the girls could see my final look.

-Oh my God! You look like a woman of some fucking mafia boss!

Liv shouted excitedly and I giggled, swirling around.

-No, she looks like a fucking mafia boss. She doesn't need a man.-Lena stated.

"All right, all right. Enough. 'You look good, Sky' would do.' " I rolled my eyes and turned around, blushing slightly and started taking clothes from my bed to put it in the wordrobe.

-Oh don't be so modest now. I know you like it.- Liv said and I sent her a little smile, looking at them over my shoulder.

Suddenly, I heard that I had a new upcoming call. I ran up to my phone, grabbing it. It was Ace.

"Guys, it's Ace. I'll call you later, okay?"

-Gee, I wish you could be that excited when you see me. - Lena joked and I giggled. I really wanted to be with him already.

When they hang up, I answered the call.

"Hi!" I greeted him excitedly and he chuckled.

-Hello, amore. What are you doing?

"Uhm well, I'm cleaning the mess I've made after getting ready." I giggled "Are you in Poland already or still on the plane?"

-In the car, actually. I'll be in like 10 minutes. Maybe I'll try to make it to 5 if you tell me you miss me.

I could feel that he was smirking.

"Ace, as much as I want to see you, drive carefully. I'd rather have you in one piece." I said truthfully. I don't like when he's speeding very fast.

- You don't have to worry about that.

When we hang up, I went to the kitchen to drink some water before we leave. I wondered how is it on those galas. How I should act, what I should say. Will my dress will be appropriate? What if Ace doesn't like it? All those thoughts started gathering in my head but then I heard someone ring the doorbell. I thought that my heart would jump out of my chest from all the excitement.

I rushed towards the door, opened it and when I saw Ace, I jumped in his arms, squealing. He let out a laugh and spun us around while walking inside with me still in his arms. His scent filled my nostrils and oh sweet Jesus, he smelled like heaven.

When he put me down, he wrapped his arms around my waist and I did the same with mine but around his neck. Ace looked down at me lovingly with a huge grin on his face.

"Hello, princess." His grin became even bigger showing his cute dimples and I let out a laugh, connecting our lips together.

His lips tasted so sweet. They are always so plump and soft that I sometimes get jealous. Ace put his one hand on my cheek, pulling me impossibly closer with the other one that was on my waist. He took a deep breath through his nose without breaking away from our kiss. If it wasn't for Ace who was holding me tight, I'm sure I would have lost my balance.

Our lips were moving slowly, enjoying the moment. I didn't want this to end. Next time when he has to go on a business trip, I'll go with him. He bit gently on my lip and pulled it towards him, receiving a slight moan from me.

"I missed you.." I mumbled against his mouth and kissed him again.

"I missed you more, Skylar." was his reply.

We were kissing with our hands roaming our bodies, not being able to pull away. After few minutes when we were running out of breath, we finally broke the kiss. Ace put his forehead against mine while we were breathing fast. He put his hand on my cheek and started making circles on it with his thumb, making me look up at him.

"Fuck, we need to go until I lock you in the bedroom and have my way with you." He said darkly and I bit my bottom lip on instinct before saying

"Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea." I whispered and Ace smirked.

He leaned forward and put his lips to my ear.

"Later, baby." After that he placed one kiss under my ear and leaned back.

He grabbed my hand and took a step back to look at me properly. His eyes scanned my whole body and his lips tugged in the corners. I smiled shyly, blushing a bit. I also checked him out. He looked good as always. Black suit and white shirt.

God, I'd like to get rid of those cloths already...

"Skylar, if we don't stop now, we seriously won't leave this flat." Ace chuckled and I joined him. "You look beautiful."

He kissed me one more time, I took my things and we went outside. We were talking during the whole ride. Ace was telling me about Italy and I was gladly listening to him. He said that he bumped into his cousin and went to dinner with his family. A short one because he went there to work and not on holiday, but still. It's good that he found time to meet his family. His cousin is getting married and invited Ace and me! I guess, we will go to Italy sooner than we expected.

When we finally arived, a huge, white building emerged in front of me. There were plenty of cars parked outside and people were walking inside on a long and red carpet. We got out of the car and I breathed out a quiet 'wow'. Ace wrapped his arm around my waist and we moved forward. A guy in a navy blue suit and a funny hat greeted us and we started walking along a long corridor until we reached the Great Hall. It looked like in a "Cindrella" or "Beauty and the Beast." movies.

Absolutely perfect.

The hall was enormous, white, with gold curtains and napkins on round tables. As we entered, many people looked at our direction and started whispering. I suppose they know Ace. I lowered my head instantly and was praying not to stumble and fell on the floor.

"I sometimes forget how known you are and that wherever we go, people are staring at you..." I mumbled.

I saw from the corner of my eye that he glanced down at me and leaned towards me that his lips were near my ear.

"They are not looking at me, love. Trust me."

I looked up at him but he wasn't looking anymore. God, even in high heels he is so much taller than me. We finally reached some table and took a sit.

******

I think that I've been sitting at this damn table for an hour now. Ace was talking with everyone about some business stuff and I swear to God, few more minutes and I would die out of boredom. I stood up and walked to the bar. I leaned against it that my back was pressed to it, and I was watching all guests. Ace was looking at me from time to time with a 'help me, please look' and I giggled every time. I could tell that he didn't want to do it but it was important for his business.

While I was standing, someone cleared their throat on my right. I turned my head towards the direction and I saw Jacob. He was looking at me with a boyish smile on his face and with his hands in his pockets. He was wearing black, elegant suit and black shirt.

"Can I keep you company, ma'am?" He asked nonchalantly and leaned against the bar beside me, not waiting for my answer.

"Yes, please. Anyone could be a good company right now." I sighed, smiling a bit.

"Not a big fun of those kind of things I see." He chuckled and I joined him nodding my head. "Yeah, me too."

"I haven't seen you in a while. What have you been up to?" I asked, casting a glance at him.

"Just work." He shrugged.

"Any fights this week?" I questioned with a serious expression on my face but my lips tugged slightly in the corner and he smirked.

"Don't even start." He shook his head looking at the sight in front of him.

"Why do you study anyway? You already have a job."

I was really curious. He could have simply dropped out of it, because I'm sure he has plenty of money already. He looked at me and answered

"I simply want to. Being educated is very crucial nowadays. Besides, although I don't look like someone who likes to study, I really do enjoy it."

"You must be very clever and ambitious then." I offered him a genuin smile and he did the same.

We turned our faces towards some drunk, old man in front of us. He was hitting on some poor woman, putting his disgusting hands on her body.
Some men approached them and took him somewhere. I think it was a tarrace. Maybe he will cool down a bit after that.

Men are really horrible. Not everyone but vast majority. They put their hands whenever they want and don't take 'no' for an answer. When I talk to some girls, they all are scared of walking at night. When some guy smiles at them, they don't know what his intentions are. When they are on the bus, often an old man sits down next to them and stares at them or even touches them. Not to mention when they are drunk. Then it is difficult to tame them at all.

"I hate events like this. And people. Everyone here is fake and puffy. All they care about is money. Bunch of imbecils." He murmured the last part and I let out a giggle.

"Oh come on, cheer up. Look at that man who is dancing with that woman. If you can call it dancing." I laughed and Jacob's chuckle was heard beside me.

"God, he's just ridiculing himself at his own request. Every decent man should know how to dance." He said and I looked at him lifting up my eyebrows.

"Look who's talking. An expert himself." I joked and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Want to find out?" He held out his hand towards me to grab it and I did that.

We went on the dancefloor and a slow song began to play. He was holding my left hand and the other one was on my waist. My right hand was on his shoulder and we started moving to the rythm. He was looking me in my eyes and seemed quite focused on what he was doing. I guess, he wanted to prove his point and dance as good as he can.

I smiled at him because boys are like children sometimes, I swear. They always want to win and show everyone that they are right. Jacob really was a good dancer though. He swirled me around and we were back to our previous positions. I swayed my hips and then I heard someone's voice behind me.

"Are you two having fun?"

I instantly pulled away from Jacob and looked at clearly angry Ace. He was standing with his armes crossed over his chest and looking at us with his deadly eyes.

"Someone had to keep her company while you were busy." Jacob hissed and Ace uncrossed his arms and came up to him that their faces were milimeters apart.

I stood between both of them, putting my palms on Ace's chest.

"Can you two just stop? Not here." I whispered-shouted and then looked at Ace before saying "Ace, we were just dancing. Jacob is my friend and either you fucking accept it or continue to be your grumpy self. I won't stop being friends with him just because you don't like him. You're a grown man so act like one."

I stated seriously. I don't think if it was a good idea to talk to him like that and even Jacob seemed to be quite surprised, but I'm done with his attitude.

Ace was glaring down at me and in his eyes was something that I couldn't really read. He took my hand and we started going towards the corridor. I think I pissed him off.

Just great

I was just about to tell him to slow down, when he pressed my back firmly to the wall and his lips landed on mine aggressively.

Ace was kissing me so roughly like a starved man. Our lips were moving against each other so violently and without even a small break that I thought that I was running out of breath. His one hand moved from my cheek to my throat applying firm but light pressure on it. When he pulled away, he brushed his mouth over mine and said

"Stiamo andando a casa ora e preparati. La tua figa sarà così dolorante, il tuo culo sarà così rosso e la tua gola sarà così irritata per aver gridato il mio nome più e più volte. Penso di doverti ricordare chi sei." He stated darkly and oh God it doesn't bode well.

(We are going home now and be prepared. Your pussy will be so sore, your ass will be so red and your throat will be so raspy from screaming my name over and over again. I think I need to remind you whose you are.)

"W-what did you say?" I breathed out and he just smirked at me deviously.

"We're going home, princess."
