She couldn't take it anymore. Ace always seemed to find a way to make her want him. She bites her lip refusing to admit that she likes it.
"Alice, your gonna to hurt yourself if you keep doing that," he says as he pries her mouth open. He somehow managed to get his tongue into her moth causing her's to war with his.
"S-stop it already Ace," she says trying to push the man off of her.
"Didn't I already tell you that men are sometimes the scariest things of all," he said as a broad grin appears on his face. Alice could only lay there in shock. He had warned her many times about this. It did seem fair that she would receive a punishment after all the warnings he had given her. Just then you could hear the downpour of the rain as it hit the tent. Ace lifted himself up to go secure the tent. A crack of thunder seemed like it had hit almost right next to the tent. When Alice heard this she flung herself up into him. She grabbed him and dug her head into his chest.
"Well, your either scared of thunder or just really wanted to see me," he said as he wrapped his arms around the girl.
"And if I say both?" she said hugging him tighter. The man only chuckles to himself. He takes his hand and runs it trough his thick head of hair, taking in a deep breath.
"Then, I will promise you that I will do all I can so you won't even be able to think about that anymore. You'll only be able to think about me," he says brings her closer to him.
"W-what?! What do you mean?!" she says trying to push away from him. She had a pretty good idea of what he meant but that the only thing she could choke out.
"You don't want me to do that?" he says with a puppy dog face on.
"Well it's not like I don't want you to, but it's not like I want you to either," she says scratching her head not even bothering to look at him.
"If that's what you want then fine," he says releasing her from his hug. He gets up and goes outside. "I'm going to go check the outside make sure it's all secure," he said as he opens the tent door and leaves.
"Ace," she says as she just sits there staring at the door wide eyed. He had always just done what he wanted not even bothering to pay attention to what she wanted. He did change after all. He was much more caring now. The thought of this made her blush a deep, crimson red. He did love her and that was all that mattered. She could tell, but it seemed almost as if she wasn't the most important. If she wasn't the most important to Ace then who was?! Just then Ace walked back inside.
"Ah, Alice hand me that towel of there would you?" he said coming back from outside completely socked to the bone. She grabs the towel and walks over to him and kneels down not showing her face.
"Ace, are you alright?" she says gripping the towel tightly.
"Alice, you –," he couldn't continue due to the shock of Alice putting the towel on his head. "What happened? I only left for a few minutes and look at you," he says as he grabs her hand to stop her from drying his hair.
"I hadn't realized," she looks up into his eyes.
"Alice, were you crying? Your eyes are all red," he says as he grabs her.
"Why?" she says with a negative tone, as if saying its none of your business. With this reaction from her he violently shakes her.
"What's wrong with you, Alice?" he says with worry in his voice.
"I realized something today, Ace. Life isn't a fairytale and it isn't happy. Life is a horrible thing you know?" she said laughing. "Is it really isn't something I would want to burden you with. I though about it for along time while you were gone. What I am really here for? Why stay? Do I really love you? Actually what is love? I –," she couldn't continue for Ace had covered her mouth.
"Alice, I don't know what happened to you or where you are right know, but I promise you that I will find you," he said his face now turning serious. "And when I do you had better say you love me. And, if you don't I will drill those words into your head so you wont forget them," he said as he tightly embarrassed the girl. "I love you Alice."
