CHAPTER 28
After leaving the clock tower, I headed towards the Hatter Mansion. Alice really did help me with my problems, I guess I should give her something in return. Right before heading into the forest, I heard someone call out my name.
"Alexis!" I heard someone say.
I turned towards the person who was calling me. "Ace" I said.
"its been a while" he said with a smile.
I looked at Ace. 'okay its my chance to tell him…' I thought. 'I need to get this over with so I can move on'
Ace tilted his head in confusement "what?" he asked.
"I need to talk to you…" I said as I looked up at Ace. I then took his hand and dragged him deep into the forest. I then let go of his hand and sat down and leaned up against the tree.
"So whats up Alexis?" Ace asked as he looked down at me.
I took in a deep breath and exhaled. "Listen Ace" she said "You remember you said you'd never have feelings for me?" I asked
Ace nodded. "well yeah" he said.
"Well, I have feelings for you" I stated as my face started to burn. "Somehow, your stupidity has made me attracted to you" I pointed out. I then pressed my knee's up towards my chest. "I mean the way you flirted with me made me attracted to you"
"Are you saying that you love me or something?" Ace asked.
I nodded "Of course" I stated as I got up and looked into Ace's eyes. "I really do love you Ace" I said "but since you don't love me back, and playing around with my feelings, I'm giving up" I stated. "I normally don't give up on things but when it comes to love, I'll give up if the one I love doesn't love me back" I pointed out. I let out a sigh.
Ace's eyes widened "I'm curious but why do you love me?" he asked.
"I said that when you flirted with me, it made me somewhat attracted to you, ya idiot!" I said. "and you know how much times I cried because of you?" I asked
Ace shook his head.
"Plenty of times Ace" I said "I don't like it when I cry, and I hate it when others see me cry for a stupid reason like loving a guy who doesn't even love me back " I pointed out.
Ace slightly laughed.
"This isn't a laughing matter you fool!" I said "you've hurt me tons of times and I had enough" I stated as I crossed my arms "Besides, I don't get why you flirt with me"
"I flirt with you cause your cute" he said "and your fun to fool around with"
I glared at Ace. "You're one screwed up man" I pointed out.
Ace smirked "Why thank you Alexis!" he said as he toyed around with my hair.
I smacked Ace's hand away from my hair "don't touch my hair, I don't like it when a man who doesn't even like me touches me!" I stated as I looked away. "If you liked, or even loved me I would let you" I stated.
"But I do like you, I like you but I don't love you" Ace said with a smile.
I swear, Ace is really starting to piss me off. Sure I'm happy that he says he likes me and that he thinks I'm cute, but saying he doesn't love me over and over pisses me off. "I still won't allow you" I said as I let out a sigh once again.
Ace had the most stupidest confused look on his face.
I sighed. "oh and before I leave and forget that my love for you ever happened" I said as I looked up at him. I quickly grabbed the collar of his coat and pulled him down to me and kissed him. "I had to steal a kiss from you since you stole mine, I just needed revenge" I stated as I let go of him. I then turned around "Later" I said as I left the forest leaving him all alone.
~ACE'S POINT OF VIEW~
I was quite surprised when Alexis grabbed me and kissed me. She wasn't really the person to kiss someone, she was more of the person to be kissed. 'interesting' I thought.
Alexis who was almost out of my sight turned around and glared at me. "You're really hopeless" she said as she walked up to me. "Where do you want to go I'll take you there"
"Hehe you're better at directions now aren't you Alexis?" I asked as I teased her on how she used to get lost.
Alexis blushed "Oh shut up" she said "now tell me where you want to go" she said.
I smirked as Alexis asked me where I wanted to go "Castle of Hearts" I said "But I'd rather go on a date with you" I teased.
"Go to hell" Alexis said "I told you that I gave up on you" she said.
I really loved to tease Alexis so I decided to ask her why she kissed me. "Then why did you kiss me?" I asked.
"So I could finally give up on you, are you that stupid?" She asked as she grabbed the back of my collar and dragged me all the way to the Castle of hearts "What a hopeless man" She said "no wait your you're a moron" she corrected herself.
I laughed "Why thank you" I said.
Alexis hit her forehead with her palm "It's not a compliment you idiot" she said with a sigh.
I just smiled "I know" I said "I just like it when you call me a moron or hopeless it shows that you still love me" I said. I remembered how Alexis would always call me "stupid" "Idiot" or "moron" trying to hide the fact that she was actually in love with me. But that's what made her interesting; she was both shy, and stubborn.
Alexis sighed "We're here" she said as she let go of the back of my collar. "Now if you don't mind" she said as she turned around "I'm going back home"
"I'm surprised you call the Hatter Mansion your home, you never called the castle of Hearts you're home" I said.
"That's cause I lived in the Hatter Mansion longer so I consider it as my home" She said as she walked away.
I looked at Alexis. She must be really mad at me, I mean I know I have done all those things to her which made her love me but I didn't know that rejecting her like this would make her this angry. It was like holding a grudge or something like she did when I was fooling around with her feelings a few weeks after we met.
Alexis then turned around. "Later" she said as she waived goodbye to me.
Either Alexis was saying goodbye as in "I don't want to see you ever again" or "see you whenever" either way, I still felt a little bad for making her cry so many times.
Alexis then headed towards the Hatter Mansion.
I know this is a little short but I was slightly on writers block.
Well Alexis has finally given up on Ace, now she decides to find a new love who would love her back X3 Who will that be, I'm not sure yet lol
Chapter 29 preview: Ace feeling bad for making Alexis cry. Knowing that he destroyed his relationship with Alexis he decides to approach her in his "Alter-ego" (wearing the mask that he wears while working for Julius) and of course tries to seduce Alexis once again so she would once again fall in love with him (that is part 1 of the chapter). Alexis later on gets a letter from Vivaldi who is inviting her to the ball and of course Alexis being a tomboy cant find a dress, not to mention has no clue how to dance (part 2 of the chapter)
I actually dont know when it will be up. I have 3 tests this week, 1 tomarrow, 1 Wednesday, and 1 Thrusday. I'm working hard in studying so yeah...
