The Last Laugh novel Chapter 56

***

Ace's POV:

I parked in front of heather's building. I picked my phone and texted Heather,

-Princess? I'm downstairs.-

I waited for her patiently. It wasn't an all serious or formal outing that we were gonna have. We were just gonna hang out a little, eat and have fun.

I had a red T-shirt on, jeans and sneakers. Simple.

Heather's POV:

"He's here," I told Shirley.

"Okay, girl. Have fun. I'll be waiting for you."

"Okay."

I got my little purse with my phone and left the apartment.

Ace's POV:

I waited patiently and soon she turned up. When I saw her come out of the building and run down the stairs, I almost lost it.

She had tiny Jean shorts on and a long sleeve top that stopped halfway down her tummy, exposing her navel. She had nice little white sneakers on.

Gosh I tried not to have an erection.

She crossed the street and made her way towards the car.

I stepped out and she hugged me.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"You look good," I told her.

"Thanks. You too. And you smell good too."

I smiled.

"Thanks, honey," I walked over to the other side and opened the door for her. She got in. I went back and got in myself. That day was gonna be a good one.

We drove up to to McDonald's where we sat down to eat.

"Where you wanna go after this?" I asked her.

"Hm. How bout we go stroll at the beach?"

"Good idea, baby. And I decide where we go after that."

"Of course."

Heather's POV :

I knew I was gonna have a lot of fun with Ace. He was such a nice person to hang out with.

As we ate, he made me laugh a lot. On the spot he was able to make me forget all worries.

"So princess, you told your mom about that Kevin issue?"

"Not really. I just told her we broke up. I didn't exactly tell her about his cheating on me with Sawyer. I'm still disgusted."

"Hope you don't feel hurt anymore."

"I don't. And it's now I realise that I didn't even love him that much."

"Really?"

"Yeah. If I'd really loved him, I would still be locked up in my apartment, shedding all my tears by now and even you, would not console me."

"Thank goodness! He doesn't deserve you," he held my hand and I felt goosebumps take over my skin.

"Yeah..."

We continued eating and soon we headed for the beach.

Ace parked his car a little far off so we could stroll at the beach. We walked on the little sidewalk and looked down at the people having fun on the sand and in the water.

He'd bought me an ice cream.

As we walked , we kept on conversing.

I was soon done eating my ice cream. The sun was slowly setting and I wanted to watch it set.

"I love watching the sunset," I went and leaned over the little bridge's balcony, watching.

Ace's POV:

I watched Heather and her pretty self go lean over the balcony. Damn. The posture she took almost sent my eyes rolling out of her sockets. Heather was more than hot. Without letting her know, I took out my phone and clicked a good picture.

She was a babe, alright.

Unluckily for me, she heard the sound of my camera and turned to me.

"Oh my gosh, did you just film me??" she asked in amusement. I hid my phone behind my back.

"Uh, no?"

She giggled.

"Give me that!" she ran and seized the phone, then stared at the picture, "Oh my gosh! I am so deleting this!" she laughed.

"Oh no, please! It's not my fault if you're hot. Oh cmon. Don't delete it, please," I pleaded with puppy eyes. she giggled.

"Fine, handsome. You can keep it for your lonely nights," she teased and threw the phone at me. I caught it.

"My lonely nights, huh? You're a dangerous girl."

She laughed.

"Everybody has a naughty side."

"Hm, I see," I eyed her unconsciously and she blushed.

"Don't look at me like that," she said playfully, rolling her eyes.

"How?" I feigned innocence.

"You know how."

"Why? It makes your legs weak?"

She turned to me with her mouth open in playful shock.

"Oh my gosh, shut up!" she gave me a little punch in the arm. I chuckled.

"You're a case!"

"I know."

She smiled with red cheeks.

"Alright handsome, where are you taking me now?"

"How about we go to an amusement park?"

"Oooh, I love amusement parks! Yes! I haven't been to any in ages."

"Okay then sweety, to the amusement park, we go."

Heather's POV:

That night, we arrived the park. Always so beautiful and lighted. We were gonna have a great time.

"So? What should we start with?" Ace asked me.

"The wheel!"

"Okay," he chuckled.

We went and lined up for a ride on the wheel. Soon, we got in and fastened our seatbelts. I was so excited. The wheel began to move and I gripped Ace's arm. He chuckled of course. It was a great experience.

After the wheel, we went to the rollercoaster. That was the scariest. As we went up and down, I screamed, especially when we were high up. I would scream and grab Ace with all my might and he would laugh at me.

After all the fun games, he bought some cotton candy which we ate while strolling. As we discussed, he noticed a photo cabin.

"Hey, want to take pictures?" he asked.

"Under one condition, I keep all the photos."

"That's unfair but okay, princess. Anything you want."

He held my hand and we got in. We sat down and he put a coin in.

We took a lot of pictures. Nice ones, Funny ones, and even adorable ones. For the last snap, I asked him to take his T-shirt off.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. Take it off! That's for taking a picture of me, earlier. So take it off and we'll be equal," I giggled. I felt so free and happy that night

"As you wish," he chuckled and took it off. Ace was a hottie. I giggled and to his surprise, before the machine clicked another picture, I got up and sat on his thigh, my arms around his neck

"Smile for the camera!" I yelled happily. We both did and the last pic was clicked.

*

"That was awesome," I said happily when we got out of the cabin. I took the pictures.

"Yeah. You seem really happy and that makes me happy."

I smiled

"I'm having so much fun, Ace. Thanks."

He smiled sweetly at me

It was quite late and we were preparing to leave when suddenly, we walked past a stand and the owner of it stopped us.

"Hey you, my boy!" he said to Ace.

"Yes, sir?"

"You can't leave without getting a lil something for your princess!"

Ace turned to me with a smile and I blushed.

"Come and shoot as many bottles as you can to try and win the huge teddy bear for her!"

Ace went over to the stand and paid the man. He was given the plastic gun. It was a hard game because the bottles were far. But to my surprise, I watched Ace shoot five bottles without missing any! The man too was surprised.

"Wow!" he exclaimed, handing over the big teddy bear to Ace who then gave it to me.

"Thank you so much."

"You're a lucky girl. You have a good boyfriend," the man said. Ace and I laughed a little nervously.

"He's- he's not my boyfriend."

"Oh really? Too bad. Both of you make a cute couple."

We laughed.

"Thanks you."

We soon left the park and Ace dropped me in front of my building.

"I had fun. Thank you very much."

"No prob."

"Goodnight, Ace."

"Goodnight, Heather."

I hugged him and left the car.

*

I reached my apartment with a big smile

"Ayyee. Seems you had a lot of fun," Shirley said.

I collapsed on the couch.

"Oh yes, Shirley. I did! I'm falling!"

"Falling?!"

I looked at her and laughed.
