Touching the Heart of Ace

??So, we have finished the last semester??s question paper. Many of these are frequently asked; please note down question numbers 6, 19 and 23. Though the values given are different, the questions were repeated for three consecutive exams.??

I went through the marked questions and explained the same, over and over again with half of the students bored out of their minds, but I was sure some idiot in the bunch was going to skip the important questions on the exam day.

??Any doubts???

A chorus of tired ??no?? reached my ears.

??Alright then, class dismissed.??

I smirked when the majority the students rushed out of the door, thanking Jesus. I wondered if my Big Baby was throwing a tantrum; most likely.

??Aww, is that a healthy glow I see, Mr. Scott???

I snorted. ??I feel powerful.?? I answered truthfully to Julian and he laughed.

??The kids were cussing at you in the back, they think you are punishing them for not doing your homework.?? I thought his boyfriend hated me, Henry, was his name?

??Not cussing really, the exams are postponed and they thought, you would cut the practice tests off. I appreciate it though.??

??Thanks, Julian. Here is the book you requested. There are my personal notes on the sides, please ignore them. That is more for research and I would suggest your sticking to the exercises for the time being.??

??Thanks. I have this amazing idea for project, will you help me???

??With pleasure, you know my office hours. You have the permission slip???

??Yes. Mr. Scott, that is very kind of you. We thought you will be absent today, but I am glad you could come. We missed...??

??Baby we have to leave now, or we will be late.?? Henry cleared his throat.

??Oh, right. See you later, Mr. Scott. It is good to see you happy. We were worried about you, byeeee...?? His boyfriend dragged him to the door. Julian was a silent guy only when he was not used to new people. I shook my head.

What would be my Big Baby doing right now? He had the press conference today and the thought made me sigh. Was I too harsh? I was, wasn??t I? How would he handle the invasive questions?

Stupid, Ace! Why did I do that?

I was waiting for his call. I could not wait for him to pout and whine and me. I chuckled. Would he come and spank me like he threatened? Or would we do what we did that day? I could not describe the feeling of his kisses on my forehead, his kind and sweet talks along with a tight slap on my...

Thank God! There were more than one uses for wearing an oversized sweater.

??Told you he is in love!??

??Fuck! I thought that man was a robot.??

??Well, he is not. And heard that he is only 14.??

??Oh! Shut it! There I thought you stopped your conspiracy theories.??

??I am telling you he is fourteen, and NASA was experimenting on him...??

WHAT THE!!!

That girl had one or two screws loose. She was better at writing mystery slash fiction stories than engineering. Hmmmm... I could help with that. I meant, I helped one kid drop out of this college.

He was always busy drawing these amazing abstract art on every surface he could touch on. He was bullied for that for whole his life, for having an amazing talent. I could not draw to save my life and someone was bullied for it. Anyways, long story short, I let him draw anything he wanted as long as he did silently in a corner. Students around him always got distracted by his drawing, he was that good. We had a nice talk, when he flunked another one of my tests. He got in Cali, but his parents disowned him. He was under ??Education for Everyone scheme?? if he kept up with the grades.

I sometimes felt, I was truly an Angel.

Yeah, and I put the person who called me that in a very uncomfortable situation. You are no Angel, Ace. I pouted.

Why was he not calling me yet? Was he not missing me? Did he forget about me?

I was being ridiculous, he had the press conference. But, it was in the morning. Why had he not call me yet? I checked my phone every five minutes even during my dance practise. I was glad, Hell was busy with the new dance competition or she would grill me in a BBQ. That lady was a terror.

It was evening and the call had not reached me. Was he with her? Was that why he forgot about me? Anger was blinding my eyes. Where was he? Did he forget about me that easy? Was he done having fun? HE WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME!

Deep breaths!

I meant, I certainly did not want him to call me. It was not like I was interested in him that way anymore. I could do better. But he could at least call me, given the way he begged me not to go. Was that all acting? Of course, it was. He had a new family.

I threw something in my hand to the wall. The loud crack did nothing to silence my internal screaming.

A glass of water.
