The Boy Next Door

[33]

"Because, a princess like you deserves flowers and for you I'd buy a whole fucking store."

She blushes at what I just said

"What are you making?"

"I don't know."

"Make a plate."

"Why."

"It is a simple design."

"Okay."

She is going easy on me.

We spend the next few minutes designing our objects. I went with a plate and already started going on the spinning thing.

I have to admite this us fun.

"What do you think," I say

"Uhh I think you should smooth out the center."

"It is smooth."

"No you see right.... right.... Right there," she says and crumples my plate into pieces.

"You wanna play that way."

"Yes I do."

I smash my fist into her vase.

"ACE."

"You started it."

"Whatever." She looks back at me with remorse. We both call a truce and let each other concentrate on there work. I let mine cure and it was done in about 10 minutes.

"What color?"

"Black," she says.

I give het a confused look.

"Just go with it."

"Fine black it is."

It is silent for awhile. But not an awkward silence a comfortable one.

"Ace can I ask you a personal question," Mia says softly.

"You can ask me anything."

"What was you your childhood like?"

I never really spoke about my childhood life because for the most part. I despised it. My mom and dad weren't there for me. I was forced into things that I had no desire to do.

"I you don't have to speak on the topic if you don't want to," she says calmly.

"No I will its just hard because my childhood wasn't a normal one."

"Take your time you don't have to give me all the detalls now."

"I'd rather not speak."

"Okay."

"What are the things you like to do the most," I ask her.

"I love to read," she takes a deep breath. "I like reading because it gives me an escape of what is happening the real world."

"Interesting." I say.

"Let me guess you favorite genere is romance."

"Yep, I enjoy a good mafia romance book," she says.

"Mhm."

"Ace?"

"Princess."

"What do you think about it," she says and holds up her vase.
