Ace ✔️

On time

I take a seat on the piano bench and turn towards Ace who was leaning against the window, facing me. We still needed to talk, about everything that happened last night. I could tell he was a bit tense and stressed. Also, I recalled Dr. Ashley telling me a couple years ago that Ace would always play the violin when stressed about something. It was his escape, a way to destress and calm down from the world. And I could relate to that, music was an amazing escape.

"Play something" he says pointing to the piano

"What?" I question, snapping out of my thoughts

"Play something on the piano" he says again

"Uhm, I-I don't know how to play" I say starting to feel nervous... well I mean I technically did know how to play but that was a long time ago. It's been a while

"Yes you do, I've heard you play before so don't lie to me" he says with a slight smile

"When did you hear me play?" I question, feeling a bit surprised.

"It was maybe the first week since you had moved in here, it was downstairs at the grand piano. I was walking to the kitchen to get something to eat and then I heard the piano. You were playing, Moonlight Sonata, I still remember" he says smiling at the thought

Trying to think about the moment he was talking about... It then suddenly comes to my mind

I bury my head in my hands

"I thought no one was there" I say in embarrassment

It was when I had decided to do some exploring around the house, and then came across the piano downstairs. I remember playing and then stopping when I heard footsteps, I was hoping it was only Molly. Now I know who it was....

"Hey why are you embarrassed? You were so good, I could tell music was something you connected well with" he says taking a seat beside me on the bench

He grabs my hands to reveal my face but I bury it on his chest

"You smell good" I mumble

He lets out a soft chuckle and then places my hands on the keys

"Play something" he says with a pleading face

I play a chord and instantly cringe

"So out of tune, poor baby" I say to the piano

"We'll get them tuned by tonight" he says

I turn and shake my head at him, a small smile forming on my lips. I let my fingers glide on the keys as he rests his head on my shoulder

Turning to face him, I stop playing

"Ace we need to talk" I say softly

"I know" he murmurs

A small moment of silence surrounds us before Ace speaks again

"Alex I'm sorry, for everything" he says intertwining his fingers with mine

"I never should have acted the way I did to you, I was just so angry"

"Ace it's not about apologizing. I understand your anger but I was just disappointed to think you had no trust in me, especially after everything we've been through-" he cuts me off

"I do trust you Alexandra! I've always trusted you, I fucking married you after only knowing you for like 2 weeks in order for you to inherit everything I owned. How could you think I don't trust you?" he says looking at me as if I were crazy

Well I guess he has a point... he did leave me with everything he owned, I mean who would do that?

"I was angry of the fear I have, the fear of one day losing you. To anything or to anyone. Alexandra you're the only purpose I think about day and night, the only purpose I have to this world. The amount of Love I have for you is beyond words. Seeing you with David, it just scared me. It was something I never had really felt before. I fear of losing you, and it's not that I don't trust you, because I do."
