Skylar's POV

We spent a good couple of hours at the shopping mall. Laura and I bought some new clothes there. She forced me to buy three dresses, two skirts and two tops. Don't get me wrong, I love shopping but what I don't like is spending my money on something I don't need. And I definitely don't need such an amount of clothes. She, on the other hand, bought half of the shops and if I hadn't dragged her out of there, she would have bought even more.

"I'm so exhausted." Laura said, throwing herself on the couch in our living room.

"Yeah, me too." I said, laying down on top of her.

"Hey! You're heavy and you're crashing me, bitch!"

I laughed. "You asked for it. Next time when you want to go shopping with me, remind me that it's not a good idea."

"Yeah, remind me that as well." She chuckled and I got off her.

"Do you want me to make some dinner?" I asked, raking a hand through my hair.

"No, at least not for me because I'm going to Alex today so I'll be gone for a while."

"Oh, where are you guys going?"

"To his house." She said smirking and I instantly regretted my question.

I pretended to gag, making her giggle.

"Oh come on, once you have a dick inside of you, you will crave it more and more. It's just a human nature and it's totally normal. That's how we function."

"Well, I definitely don't function like that." I snorted.

Laura just chuckled, shaking her head, and disappeared into her room. She's impossible. But what a boring life I could have without her.

*******

Laura has already left and I just finished my dinner. I made pasta with tomato souce and put some grated cheese on top.

Yum.

I never liked cooking and always tried to keep aloof from the kitchen, but since I started leading my student life, I had to learn how to cook eventually. It's fun though. My ten-year-old self would have been surprised that I actually said that.

After I ate, I called my parents and then Lena and Liv to catch up. We talked for a while. When I was at the mall with Laura, I bought my mum a silver necklace for her upcoming birthday. I hope she will like it. I remember when she said that she lost her previous one so I thought it would make her happy.

Later, I did my homework and watched TV. I was a little bored and I craved something sweet so I decided to go to a doughnut shop, which is ten minutes from our flat. They have the best doughnuts in the world there. I didn't change my clothes. I was still wearing my black shorts and an orange top from the morning shopping with Laura. I tied my hair into a ponytail and went outside.

It was something around 6pm. Despite the fact that it was already September, the weather was still nice. While I was walking, I was watching people passing by. I always wonder what their life looks like. Do they have a job or still go to school? Do they have a family? Do they go through tough times now? Are they happy? Everyone has their own families, their own problems, secrets and their own life. They could be the next president or a murderer and we would have no idea that we walked past them.

I continued walking. A cute café caught my eye and I made a mental note to come here one day. But then, something else caught my eye, or rather someone. I stopped at my tracks, interested in what was going on. Ace was sitting at the table with some guy. They were acting suspecious. The guy gave him an envelope. Ace opened it, nodded his head approvingly, and handed it over to another guy who was standing behind him.

"Shit!" Someone bumped into me and I dropped my phone on the ground.

"I'm sorry, miss, but you are standing in the middle of the pavement." The man said.

"It's all right. I'm sorry too." I apologised politely and smiled at him.

I put my phone into the bag and was about to start walking again but I wanted to take one last look at Ace one more time. When I did that, our eyes met.

This man and his damn eyes...

They were hipnotizing. It felt like he was burning holes in my whole body. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, eyes studying me carefully.

Turn around Skylar. Don't be a freak.

I forced myself to snap out of it and made my way to the doughnut shop.

When I was inside, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I bought four doughnuts. Two for me, and two for Laura. They looked delicious and the smell alone made me drool a little. When I paid, I saw a text from her, saying that she'd stay a night at Alex's house. It's a shame but at least I'll have the whole flat for myself. I opened the door of the shop, went outside, and ran into someone again.

"Ugh, sorry, I don't know what's with me and bumping into people today." I said and squatted to lift a bag with my doughnuts off the ground.

"You're forgiven, princess."

Oh no. I know this voice way too well.

I lifted up my head to look up at him. My breath caught in my throat instantly. He is literally the most handsome guy I've ever seen. Ace was wearing black trousers and a white t-shirt this time. His hair was ruffled up a little as always, and his captivating, brown eyes were gawking down at me.

"As much as I like you in this position, you have to stand up, Skylar."

I realised that I was kneeling in front of him, facing his crotch. I blushed right away and got up. A cocky smirk tugged on his lips, showing his cute dimples. I dropped my head down.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I uhm g-going home now, actually." I answered, looking everywhere but him.

"I'll drive you then."

What? No. He can't know where I live. I don't know him.

"Thank you, but I'll manage." I said quickly and turned around only to feel a strong grip on my arm.

"I wasn't asking, princess."

I looked at his serious expression on his face and nodded defeatedly. I think he is not really used to people who are saying no to him. I don't know much about him and he doesn't really look like a sweet guy whom you introduce to your parents, but I feel like he wouldn't hurt me.

We got in his black, sporty car that looked really expensive and we drove off. Even the inside smelt like him. I hope he didn't notice me inhaling his fragrance all the time. There was silence for a moment. Every now and then I could feel his gaze on me but I never turned to face him. I lowered my head and started fiddling with my fingers instead.

"Do you live with your parents?" He suddenly broke that silence with his question.

"No, with a friend."

I cleared my throat and he hummed in response.

"I assume you don't live with yours?"

That was more of a statement rather than a question. I looked at him, not turning my face fully in his direction.

"Your assumptions are correct, princess." He sent me his charming smile.

And those dimples...oh my God.

I feel different around him, no one has ever made me feel this way. I'm not sure if that's a good thing that he has that kind of effect on me though. I know that he's not good but I want to get to know him, spend time with him, find out what he likes and dislikes.

"Do you work? Study? " He asked again looking at the road.

"I study. English philology." I added quickly the second part. "Do you study?" I asked although I already knew the answer to that, but I just wanted to make a small talk.

"No, I work."

"Cool, what exactly do you do?"

I saw his hands on the steering wheel tighten.

"I own a few companies and clubs."

So Laura was right. I waited for him to elaborate but I guess he didn't want to talk about it so I dropped it.

"We're here."

I looked out the window and indeed, we were in front of my flat. I unfastened my seatbelt and slowly looked at him, seeing that he was already looking at me.

"Thank you for giving me a lift, you didn't have to do that." I said softly, feeling a little bad that he wasted his time.

"Anytime, sweetheart."

He seemed as if he wanted to say something but he restrainted himself. I bit my lower lip slightly.

"Maybe d-do you want to come in?"

What the heck are you doing? He is a stranger!

He will refuse because why would he spend his free time with me? I just wanted to be polite. He will refuse. Yeah. I'm sure he will.

"Sure"

Great.

We got out of his car and went to my flat. I opened the door and let us both in. He looked around and then turned in my direction.

"Your place is nice." He stated.

"Thanks." I said "Do you want something to drink? Maybe eat? I bought doughnuts."

I lifted up the bags for him to see.

"Yeah, sure. Bring them to the living room and I'll put on some movie."

Wow, I'm currently in my flat, with a guy I've know for like...two days and we're about to watch a movie. Just a normal day, right? What happend to the cautious, old me? I put the doughnuts on a plate and made my way to him. He was sitting on the right side of the couch, holding the remote control in his hand. I sat on the left side, keeping distance between the two of us.

"How about...'fast and furious'?" He asked, glancing at me.

"Yeah, it's cool." I answered and he raised his eyebrows.

"You don't want some romantic shit or something?"

"No, what you've chosen is fine. People rather don't have a problem with me when it comes to picking up a movie because I like every genre." I shrugged.

He was gazing at me for a while and then he turned his head towards the TV, clicked the bottom, and the movie started.

During all this time it was so damn hard to focus. I was looking at him from time to time from the corner of my eye, trying to be descret. He is so handsome. Absolutely perfect. I felt a little jealous, knowing that there are people who look like him while I look...like that. He didn't hide his glances at me though, what of course made me blush.

"Why are you sitting on the edge of the couch? Come closer." He said with a challenging glint in his eyes.

There was something in his voice but I didn't know what. It was low and...dark. I got goosebumps just from hearing his voice alone.

"No, I'm perfectly fine where I'm sitting."

I couldn't be close to him. I don't know what I would do if I was. But before I knew it, he was sitting right beside me. His smell instantly filled my nostrils. I felt nervous and my heart started beating faster. He moved closer to me, brushing me hair to the side. I felt his breath on my skin near my ear.

"Do I make you nervous, Skylar?"

Don't stutter, don't stutter

"N-no"

Fuck

"Mm it seems quite contrary." He whispered in my hair.

He put his hand on my bare skin and trailed his fingers slowly up and down my tigh. My breathing was erratic and unsteady. I tried to calm myself down but I couldn't.

"Ace, what are you doing?" I breathed out, trying to keep my own feelings at bay.

Obviously that didn't succeed very well.

I wanted to get up but as I stood up, he grabbed my hand and situated me on his lap that I was straddling him now. He wrapped his strong arms around my waist and whispered against the skin on my neck "Just relax, Skylar." after that, he started kissing it softly.

I let out a shaky breath and turned my head to the left instantly. His hands were on my hips now, keeping me still. It gave me sparks as he sucked on my sensitive skin. I had never let any guy do such things to me. I was simply embarrassed and didn't feel that chemistry, which I definitely feel with Ace. He is like a drug. Every time I crave him more and more. There's something about him that makes me weak.

He gently bit my earlobe, then my jaw and suddenly stopped. I opened my eyes and his gaze was locked with mine. His eyes darkened, making me shudder.

"I really want to kiss you right now." He stated, licking his lips. His voice remained low. "So fucking much."

My heart was beating so fast. Our faces inches apart. He leaned forward, putting his forehead against mine, our noses touching. I don't know, do I want it? I shouldn't. But I do, so badly. My heart was beating so fast that I wondered if he could hear it.

Seeing no objection on my part, he slowly put his lips on mine, sending chills down my spine. We both moaned when our lips touched. It was like we've been waiting for this to happen for ages. His lips were so soft. He put his one hand on the back of my neck and continued to kiss me passionately. He desperately wanted to put his tongue in my mouth but I didn't want to give it to him that easly.

Noticing that, he squeezed my waist harder making me gasp, and giving him the access to insert his tongue into my mouth. I put my small hands on his torso feeling how his muscles flex, and I heard him groan. Our tongues were moving in sync. Ace cupped my face with both his hands and pulled away slightly. He captured my lower lip between his teeth, pulling it forward. We both were breathing fast.

"Fuck." He cursed under his breath, looking at my lips which I'm sure were red and swollen. "You are so-"

He didn't have a chance to finish because we heard the door open. I jumped up slightly and stood straight on my feet. Ace, on the other hand, seemed totally unbothered. Maybe a little annoyed, probably because we were interrupted.

"Bitch, I'm home!"

Laura's voice could be heard from the hall. She walked into the living room but when she saw me and then Ace, she stopped.

"Uhm hi?"

"Hi" I said. "You're home?"

I was still breathing fast.

"Yeah, I've changed my plans." She said and turned her face towards Ace.
"Ace"

"Laura" He said while getting up. He approached her and extended his hand for her to shake. "I'll go now." He turned around to face me. "See you around, princess." A lazy smile tugged on his lips.

I couldn't help my lips but curve in a slight smile too. I bit on my lower lip shyly, watching him leave. I wish he could stay a bit longer.

I heard the door close, indicating that he left. Laura turned towards me and I looked at her. She crossed her arms over her chest, walking in my direction.

"You've got a lot to explain, young lady."

Oh boy.
