Ace POVI was all dressed in my best navy suit waiting for the time to spin by. I was so excited to flirt with Elise until I had her writhing beneath me that I got ready with an hour to spare. I should have just let Nikki suck my dick last night. The sexual tension I was feeling was only going to get me in trouble tonight. I sat in my office twirling in my chair trying to figure out what to do. I should call Derek or Alley, but I didn't want to get lost down that rabbit hole of self-pity. Every time they gave me a disappointed look, I wanted to punch something. They had no idea what the real world was like. We might all be in high school, but I've seen what happens after. I've seen the vile and cruel ways people use you. High school was about getting high or drunk then finding some pussy. My father's business world was about keeping the drugs flowing in the right areas, keeping the poor under your thumb so you could use them as your toys all while expanding your empire, so you stayed

Alley POV“Hey beautiful." I heard from a smooth voice coming from behind me. I spun around to see Ethan in a white T-shirt and jeans looking delicious. I met Ethan at the movies, so he didn't have to see my shit hole of a house I lived in. "Hey sexy you look absolutely edible." I replied with a huge smile and a hug. "I got our tickets already. You want to grab some popcorn too?" Ethan asked, handing me a ticket. I wanted to squeal at how cute this all was. He was so soft spoken and a total gentleman."Yes please, popcorn and Reese pieces are a must for any movie if you don't mind." I replied innocently."I think I can handle that." He replied with a kiss on the cheek then grabbed my hand to head to the concession stand.The second we sat down he grabbed my hand again and never let it go. I loved that he didn't try to run a hand up my leg or even kiss me. Well, I kind of wanted the kiss, but it was sweet how happy he was just hanging out. He kept stealing glances at me and every time

Ace POVAs we walked on the beach to take our spots there was the bane of existence. Yeah, a bit harsh, but every time I saw some asshat touching Alley, I saw red. Rarely did I catch her not being eye fucked by some dude. So, yes, the girl that used to make everything right in the world became an instant source of my misery.I looked away trying my best to ignore everything. Alley was dancing with her back to some guy's chest while his hands lingered on her thighs. Teasing her with his touches; but then he moved back to her waist and they just kept dancing. Nothing I can intervene with. Plus, she looked really happy just dancing and being a teenager. How one person can give me so much anger while making me so satisfied was beyond my knowledge. God definitely fucked up with how our emotions worked. Not sure if I believed in God, but I liked having someone to blame all this shit on.I grabbed a beer and was trying to listen to one of the other football players, Bret, go on about practic

Alley POVDave took me to miniature golf (which I hate) then bowling (which I hate more than mini golf) than pizza (finally something I could enjoy). Despite the less than fun activities, he was trying. He was so calm and gentle about everything. The way he spoke, the way he touched me, the few times he did, and was constantly asking how I was or how I was feeling. I really wanted to like this guy, but something was just off. There has to be something seriously wrong with me that I found a hot guy less and less attractive the nicer he was to me. That's just screams Daddy issues, I know.After pizza we headed back to my place to watch a movie and I was determined to get some kind of action. My date with Ethan the other week where he took forever to kiss me, which actually I kissed him, and now Dave who hasn't even tried to do as much as hold hands with me was making me frustrated. I'm not ready for sex, but there is plenty of other things we could be doing. At least with Ethan I fel

Ace POVAfter a bunch of bullshit from my father about rescheduling our meeting, I was out the door and on my way to Layla's. The six properties that were transferring into my name became four and the other two were now becoming joint partnership with my father. Minor setback, but worth it for Alley. The moment I stepped foot into the party I knew I shouldn't have come, but it was her birthday party. I already fucked up by dragging her across the beach, then again on her actual birthday, and then of course punching Derek in the face. I had to be here today plus, she asked me to be here, and I wasn't going to say no.Alley was at the pool with a short little yellow dress on and Dave's arm wrapped around her waist. The dress alone made me want to drag her home. It had showed off her perky little breast and laid just pass her ass fitting tightly against her skin. I did notice how uninterested she seemed in Dave too. She would occasionally move his hand away and even avoided kissing him
