The Last Laugh novel Chapter 58

***

Heather's POV:

That night, when I got into bed, I thought of all Shirley had said. She'd been right about a lot.

Ace was beginning to be someone very Important in my life.

*

Ace's POV:

It wasn't easy to find sleep. The fact that I'd gotten closer to Heather seemed to get me more and more impatient. I needed things to accelerate for real. But I was scared. What if I tried something again but it scared her away instead? No. Didn't wanna risk that.

She was very free around me. Keith was right. She was beginning to fall for me. I smiled to myself. I couldn't wait to officially have her. Officially call her mine. I picked my phone and texted her.

-Can't sleep :-(-

-Me neither- she soon replied.

I thought of what to say next. I was about to reply when she texted again.

-I want us to go swimming. This weekend. At bay beach. Don't tell me no.-

Was I crazy enough to refuse her offer? No.

-That would be great.-

-Ikr. Hopefully it'll be only two of us.-

-I pray for that,- I replied, smiling to myself.

-Lol seriously?-

-Yes. I've never actually had the opportunity to be left alone with you- I dared to text and waited for her reply.

-Why would you want to be alone with me, Ace?-

-To help you get rid of any feelings  you've got left for Kevin.-

--

Heather's POV:

I smiled to myself.

-And how will you do that?- I asked and waited patiently for a reply.

-Give me the opportunity to show you how. And I will, boss.-

I felt my cheeks redden and my heart beat increase. Maybe I actually was falling for Ace. I mean, he did have everything a girl could ask for, in a guy.

-Hm. See you Saturday then.-

-Can't wait ;-). Goodnight, baby-

-Goodnight, daddy.-  I giggled to myself.

The week passed and Saturday reached! I was excited, yet nervous. Anything could happen that day.

At one that afternoon, Ace picked me up and we headed for bay Beach.

We arrived and surprisingly, the place was empty. Just as expected.

We put the beach cloth on the sand and got undressed. I had my sexy two piece black bikini on. Ace had a sexy swim trunk on. He was hot.

"I told you to think of modeling right?" I smiled at him.

"I've never really had it in mind but it could be cool," he looked at me from head to toe in a slow manner, "Heather, you can drive any man crazy," he said all of a sudden. I felt my face redden.

"Wow– um, thanks," I said shyly, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Any man," he repeated unconsciously, his eyes still on me. I looked at him. And the question I asked him, made me surprise myself.

"Even you?" I asked nervously.

He stared at me with such seriousness that I flinched.

"Would it be a bad thing if I said yes?" he asked in a low voice. I felt goosebumps take over my entire body.

"I don't know," my reply was almost a whisper. It was from that moment that I noticed the fact that there was some sort of tension or attraction between us. We were silent for some time until he spoke again.

"Uh, well, that was awkward. I'm sorry," he admitted with a smile and I laughed. He joined me. That loosened the tense atmosphere a little.

"Yeah. Quite."

He smiled and leaned over. He then gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"Going for a short swim. Will be right back."

"Oh okey," I blushed.

He stood up and headed for the water.

I sat down watching the water and enjoying the breeze. Of course, I also watched Ace.

Sawyer's POV:

It'd been days now since I'd not spoken to Heather. Hard to believe but I felt a little guilty. Maybe cause my mother had travelled and I was alone in that big house.

I decided to spend the weekend at Kevin's place.

What?

They'd broken up and so I could visit him, right?

*

Heather's POV:

Ace finished swimming and joined me once again.

"Had a good time?" I looked up at him.

"Yeah. The water's great," he replied, grabbing his towel and drying himself off. I watched him do so and I suddenly thought of something.

Ace's POV:

I really tried to keep my mind clean but that was almost impossible, with Heather in that two piece, I did my best to act right. Plus, the fact that we were alone–

"Ace?" her voice brought me back to Earth.

"Y– yes?"

"Sit down, please. I want you to apply some lotion on my back."

Damn.

"Uh, sure..."

I got on the beach cloth, sitting behind her. She gave me the lotion, then sat on her knees.

I was close to losing it! I couldn't help but admire her perfect body. Would I last?

"What are you waiting for, Ace?" her soft voice snapped me out of my thoughts once again.

"Is everything alright?" she asked with a little tease in her voice, if I wasn't mistaken.

"No. Everything's alright."

I put some lotion in my hands and began to apply it on her back.

I applied it slowly, rubbing her back.

I wanted to hold her but i hesitated.

"Y– you're hands feel good on me," she suddenly said in a low voice, as if she didn't want me to hear.  I didn't speak.

I gave up all resistance on the spot.

Heather's POV:

When Ace didn't reply to what I'd just said. I panicked a little.

I was about to speak again but I felt Ace wrap me in his strong arms from the back. I gasped.

Slowly, he began to trail soft kisses against my neck.

Goosebumps took over my skin but I leaned back into his warmth. I tried in no way to resist him! Somewhere within me, I'd wished for this!

Yes, I'd fallen for him. I couldn't lie.

As he kissed my neck, I slowly got out of his grip and turned to face him. We looked at each other in the eyes. He was so handsome.

I held his face and yes, I kissed him. I fucking kissed him.

Ace's POV:

It was almost unbelievable when Heather turned and kissed me. I almost jumped with joy. I'd waited for this! I'd longed for the day I would kiss her.

I wrapped my arms around her, kissing her with so much love. I loved her. She was the only girl I'd ever loved and would ever. She held me tight, kissing me back with the same passion.

Heather's POV:

The way he kissed me drove me crazy. No one had ever kissed me like that.

I felt like he'd already owned me. I felt like his lips were mine. While we kissed, I had the feeling that it was all meant to be. There was something special about him that I couldn't put my finger on.

Ace kissed me passionately and I kissed him back with the same intensity. I was breathless in no time. The way he touched me, heated me up. We were so gone that I didn't even realise when my back touched the cloth, Ace on top of me.
