Mason left and i wanted to follow but Ace shut my door .
" Very funny ."
" What do you mean i don't know you didn't have sex ."
" Maybe i did . Maybe i didn't . I can't remember."
I sat on the bed because i know he isn't gonna let this go .
" Give me a yes or no ."
" To what ?"
I was smiling at him . He was anything but smiley . I was sitting in the middle of the bed .
He sat and reached for me .
I backed away .
" Get over hear and give me an answer."
" No go away ."
" Sophia don't play with me right now ."
" You're literally trying to grab me . That's playing ."
" I wouldn't have to if you would just come to me ."
I hopped off the bed on the other side .
" Why do you care ?"
" You know why i care . Now get over here or i'm gonna come get you ."
My heart was pounding . I'm not scared of Ace . But he's a lot bigger than me and he will come knock me down .
I carefully climbed back on the bed with my hands up .
" Ace don't ."
He tackled me pinning me down . I was screeching . It felt weird him touching me .
We aren't fully back to normal yet .
Other than the kiss .
" Get off me ."
I pushed his hands back from my hips . He frowned .
He put his hands back and i moved them off again .
" Why do you keep doing that ?"
" Ace we aren't together you can't man handle me anymore ."
" It's my number one hobby ."
" Get a new one . I'm serious Ace i'm not just gonna come running back to you . We're not together."
" I hate when you're in denial because you're so unbelievably stubborn . I'm getting deja vu right now ."
" This isn't the same ."
" It is ."
" Fine you know what ? Tonight after whatever we have to do i'm gonna find a date ."
" That's funny ."
" What you think i won't ?"
I saw a flash of worry on his face . I won't actually. I'll just make him think i am .
" I need to get ready . You do too ."
He reluctantly got up and left slamming my door . I changed into a classic little black dress.
Cant go wrong .
I got my gun , it was a small one for convenience but it did the job .
I had a knife tucked under my dress in case i need it . Somehow i always manage to poke myself with it .
I went downstairs and got into Masons car . He insisted on driving for some reason .
Then i found out why .
Greg was in the front seat and when i got in beside Ace i could smell the alcohol off him .
" Really ? Real classy Ace ."
" It's a quick job i'm just trying to have some fun ."
The drive was spent going over the plan . Greg and Mason will identify the guy .
He killed his own wife , and his family disowned him .
I personally think we're doing the world a favour taking him out .
" I'll do it . I'm discreet ."
" No i'-"
" Ace i don't wanna hear it ."
I got out and walked inside . The club was hosting some mafia anniversary party .
Ace is friends with the family so he got us in .
I was at the bar when Mason and Greg left to try and locate our guy .
I got a drink and turned .
" Time to go mingle ."
" I don't do people ."
" Neither do i so let's go ."
I saw someone i knew . It was Avery and her husband. They introduced themselves to Ace .
" It's so great to see you again this is my boss , Ace ."
When they left he brought his arm around my waist bringing me into him .
" Boss, seriously?"
" That's what you are ."
I removed his arm and Ace saw a guy he knew .
" It's been too long . Where are my manners ?"
He looked to me and i held my breath for what's coming . I thought he would call me a hooker or something but no .
" This is my fiancé Sophia ."
I nearly choked on my bourbon .
" Wanna play that game ? Let's play ."
Next person we saw i introduced him as my driver .
Next person i was the mother of his children .
Fun fact : going up to someone saying ' it's been too long ' especially old people . Works .
Even if they don't know you .
" Step dad . Really?"
We were both laughing because the guy looked so confused considering Ace was grabbing my ass .
" The hand on my ass really was the cherry on the cake ."
" You gonna call me daddy now ?"
" May as well since mine is dead ."
" Cheers to dead fathers ."
" May they suffer forever more ."
My phone went off and i checked it. Mason said our guy just went into the hallway . It leads to a staircase that has a couple VIP rooms .
" It's time ."
I've always enjoyed the rush i get before pulling the trigger . It's so different to anything else .
Adrenaline was pumping through my veins .
" Be careful ok ."
Ace's hands were on my shoulders and then he reached one up to my cheek .
He leaned in and kissed my cheek . He leaned his forehead against my temple .
" In and out . Discreet . We'll be waiting outside ."
" Hopefully i'll see you there ."
" There's no hopefully . You're Sophia Bianchi , never failed a mission . Remember?"
I blew him a kiss before i walked away into the hall . He was on the phone . Arguing with someone . My hands were steady .
The gun was tucked right underneath my dress along with my knife . There is a slit so i have easy access .
He turned around and noticed me . He smiled and i returned it . He hung up the phone .
" What's a pretty girl like you doing all by herself. No one escorting you ?"
" I do just fine on my own , thank you -"
My smile dropped .
" - Daniel."
He reached in his pocket the second his name came out of my mouth . He was too late .
I held out my gun steady .
" Any last words ?"
He swung at me and i ducked , the knife on my leg dug in painfully .
I actually hadn't meant to pull the trigger . It hit his arm .
" Whoops . My b ."
I knocked him back to the ground and shot him once in the chest . I contemplated shooting his balls but decided against it . What a saint i know .
I walked back through the main room and to the door . I found the car easily and Ace was leaned against it .
" There's my girl ."
" Done and dusted . No witnesses no evidence. Just how you like it ."
" How good did it feel ?"
" Euphoric ."
He went to get his coat inside that he forgot and Mason came up to me .
" What's dripping down your leg ?"
" Just a little graze it's nothing ."
It hurt like a bitch .
He lifted my dress slightly and saw the gash in my leg .
" Sophia oh my god ."
" Shut up don't make a big deal . I'll clean it when i get back the last thing i need is Ace freaking out ."
I moved my dress to cover it . I was surprised by how much blood was actually coming out .
I tucked the knife under the seat and got back out to meet Ace .
I took the jacket and quickly slid it on before we left . We got back and i tried to slip upstairs.
" Have a drink with us ."
I turned .
" I'm really tired i don't know ."
" Come on its just one drink ."
I was kinda dizzy . I need to get upstairs.
" I need to get out of this dress ."
I went upstairs and then heard my name being called .
I looked down , where i was standing there was blood smeared on the floor .
It dripped all the way down my leg . I'm fine completely fine . But Ace is going to make a big deal and us being drunk together doesn't have the best track record.
" I'm busy !"
" Sophia you're bleeding ."
" Really? I had no idea ."
I shut my door and peeled the dress off . I pulled on some shorts . There was a knock at my door .
" Im naked !"
" You really think that'll stop me ?"
" No . Just give me a second . Im fine ."
" Just let me see you ."
I put on a t-shirt and opened the door . I had wiped the blood on a black t-shirt from the floor but there was dried blood on my leg .
He opened the door .
" Come with me just for a second ."
" Im fine don't make a big deal ."
" I just wanna see it . I'll clean it that's all no dramatics ."
" Fine ."
I followed him into his room . First time i've been in it since i came back actually.
There was bottles everywhere. Trash .
" Ignore the mess ."
I walked into his bathroom and stood waiting . Next thing i knew i was being lifted like a child onto his counter . I looked at the shower . Memories flooded my brain ...
" You said no dramatics ."
" Spread your legs ."
" Why is it not the first time you've said that to me ."
" Wont be the last either ."
We were both drunk so that was pretty funny . We recovered and he wiped the dry blood off my leg .
The cut itself wasn't big . I didn't need stitches . I think . He wiped it and i heald my breath .
He put a bandage on me and kissed it better .
" That was unnecessary."
" Had to kiss it better ."
" Ok now i actually am going to bed ."
I hopped down and his fingers grazed up my arm . I felt a rush in my stomach .
His hand moved further up and his arm wrapped around my shoulders .
His arm across my chest .He rested his head on my shoulder.
" Stay here ."
" And do what ?"
" Whatever you want ."
" I should really get back to my room ."
" I miss you in my bed ."
I turned around . He smirked and backed me up . My legs hit the edge of the bed .
" No Ace ."
" Yes Sophia ."
He's so tempting.
" Come on just sleep in here . Nothings gonna happen ."
He was smiling like a child . His eyes raked hungrily down my body .
" That's not what you're thinking ."
" Stay with me ."
" I'll see you in the morning."
I tried to walk away but he grabbed the back of my t-shirt . I just continued walking with him holding onto me .
" I forgot how clingy you are when you're drunk . And touchy ."
I moved his hand off my ass . He fell back onto my bed and i brushed my teeth .
He was still there when i came out .
" Go to your room . Goodnight ."
" I've missed you so much . I drank . A lot ."
" Story time over . Bed time ."
" I'm not leaving . Cant get you back if you aren't close to me ."
" Fine . But keep your hands to yourself ."
I climbed into bed and turned over . He raked his fingers through my hair .
" Do you always have to be touching me ?"
" Uh huh ."
" Go to sleep ."
" Come closer ."
" You sound like a serial killer ."
He moved me so that i now faced him .
" Why ?"
" I want to look at you ."
" Again why ?"
" I don't know ."
I went on my phone and he just stared at me . Drunk Ace is a clingy touchy serial killer who stares at you .
Mason sent a mirror picture into our group chat . He was showing off his abs of course .
Greg sent in he had toothpaste dripping down his chin .
I zoomed in . He was only in boxers . Oh god .
" Mason is packing ."
It was out of my mouth before i could even think .
I put down my phone and closed my eyes .
" Did you just say Mason is packing ? Why were you looking ."
" I just noticed ."
" Why are you in bed with me if you think his is bigger ."
" Ew i never said it's bigger ."
" Mine is small isn't it . Some days i can't even find it ."
" It's not small believe me it-"
He was smirking .
" I see what you did there ."
His hand moved to my face and he dragged his thumb down my lip .
" Goodnight kiss ?"
" Nope ."
" Kiss on the cheek ? You do it to Mason all the time ."
" Fine ."
He leaned over and then kissed right by my ear . He took his time . When he was done he slowly moved back to where he was .
I gulped . I wanted to kiss him so bad . But i need to try this friends thing . It's perfectly normal for two friends to sleep in the same bed .
Or at least i hope it is .
