The Last Laugh novel Chapter 59

***

Ace's POV:

I didn't even realise when Heather and I hit the ground. She was such a good kisser. She was better than I'd ever imagined in my dreams.

No other girl had this effect on me. Our bodies together sent the sweetest feeling through me, and I knew she felt same. The way she touched and caressed me while I kissed her, turned me on, on the spot. She made me breathless with only her kiss and caresses. No girl, no one, had made me feel this way.

Heather's POV:

Ace was such a good kisser. He was able to make me forget the world on the spot. I felt him grow hard in between my legs and my body reacted in the sweetest way.

I didn't want to leave him. He had my hands pinned above my head with his. Our fingers, tightly intermingled while we made out. Gosh. What was this particular thing about him that drove me crazy?

Ace's POV:

We'd kissed for so long that I was reluctant to let her go. She was some sort of drug to me. The day I'd so longed for had finally arrived.

After a long and passionate kiss, I reluctantly broke away, pulling her lower lip along

She dreamily opened her eyes and stared straight into mine. Both of us breathless. She was so beautiful.

"You're probably gonna find this awkward, too fast and unusual," I started softly, "But, I'm pretty sure I'm falling in love with you," I whispered against her lips. She smiled, slightly biting her lower lip.

"Really?" she replied, caressing the side of my face.

"Yeah," I kissed her one last time. I just couldn't get enough. Could I?

Heather's POV:

I reached my apartment that night, my knees still trembling. I got in and collapsed on the couch as usual.

"How was it?? You look so relaxed," Shirley said excitedly, sitting close to me.

I looked at her, a smile on my lips and my face red.

"Are you alright, girl? You look dreamy. Or are you sleepy?"

I giggled. She looked at me lost.

"You were right, Shirley," I said dreamily.

"About what??"

"I'm falling hard for Ace. I know it's too fast but I don't understand what's going on. I– I really feel a connection. He told me he thinks he's falling in love with me. I don't know if he was just saying that, or if he actually meant it. And he kissed me."

Her eyes widened.

"Oh my fucking gosh! Are you serious?!"

I smiled at her.

"He did. We made out."

"Tell me everything!"

I took my time and explained everything to her. Shirley screamed like crazy and I laughed.

"So are will you be getting with him? As in, officially?"

"I don't know. Maybe we'll talk? Monday."

Shirley stood up and did a little dance.  I watched her and giggled.

Ace's POV:

Everything still seemed so unreal. Heather and I had kissed. I arrived the apartment that night in such a good mood. Keith was out partying and so I'd only tell him the news the next morning. Heather had awakened something in me and I couldn't wait for Monday to talk things out.

I went straight to my bedroom and got undressed. I got into my bathroom to take a cold shower.

As I stood under the shower, cold water rushing down my body, I couldn't stop thinking of her. Everything still seemed so unreal.

I ran my fingers through my wet hair, thinking and thinking. Would I sleep that night?  Would I last till Monday?

***

Monday did arrive.

The day before, I'd finally told Keith about everything that had happened and he sure was hyped about it all. I reached the office in such a good mood. I had a lot of work though and so I waited patiently for lunch to reach so I could go meet the love of my life.

--

Hours passed and soon it was lunch. I wasted no time. I left my office and went straight to meet her.

Heather's POV:

I waited patiently for Ace. I wanted to see him so much. It was like after that beach night, I'd fallen more for him. That was so fast. He had something special that swept me off my feet so easily. When I heard a knock at my door, I rushed to open it myself.  And there he was, my handsome prince.

He got in and I closed the door before turning to face him. Before I could even greet him, he grabbed me and kissed me nice and deep. Oh gosh, I melted. I held him back and kissed him with the same intensity. When we broke the kiss, I smiled at him.

"Does this mean something?" I mused, caressing his face.

"Yes, it does. Heather, I want us to be together. Or do you need time? Do you think I'm too fast? I know I am but, I really want to be with you."

I smiled.

"I don't mind trying."

He smiled back and hugged me tight. I hugged him back. I could actually feel his heartbeat.

"Can I own you now?" I heard him ask, sweetly.

I smiled against his chest.

"Sure," I giggled.

He chuckled a little and kissed my head.

"I'm a lucky guy. I'll treat you right, Heather. I promise."

"I'll see that for myself, with time."

Ace's POV:

Having Heather in my arms brought back a lot memories. All of a sudden, a set of flashbacks returned to my mind. How she used to play with me, cared for me, fed me during hard times and even loved me. She was more than gold to me.

We broke the hug and she looked at me in the eyes.

"You're eyes are watery," she said, wondering.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just happy to be with you."

She smiled.

"I'm happy to be with you, too. You've been there for me through the toughest times. I want to know more of you, Ace."

She held my face and planted a soft kiss on my lips.
