21: CRAZY BEAUTIFUL
ACE'S POVI watched as she drank the water. Her back to me. Her sexy ass outlined under that over-washed shirt. I wondered who it belonged to. I hope it was not her boyfriend's. I could tell it belonged to a man.Man, how thirsty was she? I asked myself as she filled the cup again. But she did not drink it. It seemed like she was taking it to her room. She froze when she noticed me and I tensed, too. Shit! She probably recognized me from the incident a few months ago.She squinted her eyes, and then it hit me. It was too dark for her to truly see me. I let out a deep breath, and I made a move towards her, but the damn girl let out a gut-wrenching scream. My hands covered my ears from the deafening howl, and she sent the glass shattering to the floor. She grabbed something from the sink, and I realized it was a knife. She pointed it at me. “St — stay back,” the poor little thing's hands were trembling like a leaf. My eyes zeroed in on the knife, and I erupted in a fit of laughter. It w

22: JUST SHUT UP AND KISS ME
PEBBLES' POVI could smell the repugnant scent of my blood. Surprisingly, the pain in my chest surpassed the burning sensation pulsating from the palm of my hand. My stomach gave out as the room spun. It became difficult for me to make out the details of the kitchen. Everything seemed like one vast blur. My innards felt like they were being replaced by a perilously deep black hole. A sea of nausea crept from the depths of my abdomen as the world faded and images of that ghastly scene where Harrison was stewing in his blood pervaded my mind.I felt alone and cold, but then he spoke. The realization hit, I wasn't alone any more. ”Pebbles? Pebbles, look at me." His voice was soothing and so familiar now. I did not know why, but I needed him to keep talking. He looked so pale as the colour drained from his face. “Shit! Don't pass out on me now, Pebbles!” His hands hurriedly slid to my hips and, in one swift swoop, he lifted me and rested me on the counter next to the sink. His action pull

23: TICKLE SESSION
It was 5 am and Ace couldn't bring himself to sleep. He'd been twisting and turning the entire night. That kiss was almost as good as sex, he kept thinking to himself. He must get to know this girl better. He thought about the way she reacted to blood. Something must have occurred in her life to make her behave like that. It hurt him to see her suffering like that. He wondered what had happened to her. Ace hoped no one had harmed her because if they did, and he found out who, then whoever they were would be dead men.Grabbing his phone from the nightstand, he unlocked it, and the light was blinding when his eyes met the screen. 5:30. And by that time, he knew sleep would not visit him. He hated Valentine's Day because of her, Lonergirl. He loved that she came into this world on such an auspicious day; a day the world celebrated true love, and then she went and broke his heart. So now he hated Valentine's Day. For all he knew, she was probably riding her new husband's dick as he remi

24: CAKE AND JEWELLERY
PEBBLES' POVI rested on the edge of my bed for a while, struggling to steady my breathing. What had I gotten myself into? I could not fall for his charms. Everything about him screamed player. From his dazzling eyes and the way they bore into my soul. To his razor-sharp cheekbones that could cut through a steel wall and those lips — oh! God, his lips, they tasted like sin. I would gladly follow him to the deepest, darkest depths of purgatory if only I could taste those lips one last time.Oh! Lord! I've got it bad. I stood up and smoothed the wrinkles in my dress. My hands lingered over my breast when I remembered Ace saw my nipple. A warm blush spread across my cheeks. Normally, I would be embarrassed by such things, but now, I wanted to find him and flash him both my tits in aspirations that he would touch me. The ringing of my phone suspended me from my steamy thoughts.“Hello,” I answered.“Happy birthday, Pebbles.” A soothing voice greeted, my smile took over my face immediately

25: REALITY CHECK
ACE'S POVI felt whole; the way her tiny hands banded around my midriff. They burnt like a furnace. The heat from her hands soaked through my shirt and denim jacket and unto my tattooed riddled skin. Goosebumps took over the surface of my skin as I enjoyed her touch. It felt good and for the first time; I was afraid of a woman's touch and the effect it had on me. I knew then and there, I would do anything for Pebbles Hemington. Grinning like a baboon, the wind whipped my face as I rode my Yamaha. I was still a little upset about the way she kept reciting 'oh! Bradley', when she thought no one was around. The first time was a little shocking and funny. But this morning I wanted to greet her with a kiss, then she breathed out those two fucking words. I had to ask Pops about that.I kept replaying our kiss; it wiped the memory of Griselda's out of my mind. Her lips tasted magical, so I told myself, I had to do it again before the day was done. I must kiss her again.But should I be kiss

26: OH! ACE
PEBBLES' POVI could sense it building inside me like a fierce ball of snow, deep in the pits of my stomach. I couldn't concentrate on anything around me, but the deafening beats of my heart. My adrenaline levels intensified to new heights, inducing my brain to go on the defence, firing out negative thoughts like a machine gun. The antagonistic notions tumbled out to the surface like dangerous waves crashing against rocky shores.“Sinister will find me—Sinister is gonna beat me—Sinister is gonna kill me-” My body wracked with bitter sobs. I shook like a leaf. Anxiety consumed every cell in my body, swelling them with terror. I practically felt my blood pressure soar, but I knew that was the least of my worries. What if he hurt Evie and her family? I would never forgive myself if he did.“Pebbles, I'm going to take you home." I heard a sweet voice whisper. It sounded like Ace's, but my brain was frozen with panic. It felt sore and empty. My vessels in my head felt like a cluster bomb h

27: GOOD MORNING, DOLLFACE
ACE'S POVFebruary 15th, 2009Two days - this girl had hardly been here for two fucking days, and I already felt like I would die without her. Why was I feeling this way when I had no heart? Pebbles made me forget what Lonergirl did to me; how she chewed me up and later spat me out like I was nothing; like I was filth on the bottom of a shoe. Fuck, Pebbles even had me listening to Air Supply and Frank Sinatra; Even The Nights Are Better with The Way You Look Tonight.I'm sorry, Kendrick Lamar, but I have a girl now—but did I actually have her? Was I particularly interested in her because I rescued her from getting raped?NO! That wasn't it. I craved to be with her all day; every day. It was like she was the oxygen that was keeping me alive. Last night was incredible. I had never felt that kind of desire, need, or attraction for another girl—well, apart from Lonergirl.Pebbles was not like any other girl I'd met. Maybe she wasn't human. Then she must have been an angel, one that I'd kn

28: WHERE IS PEBBLES?
Where could that black bastard be? Sinister contemplated to himself. Where is Pebbles? He had been to Paris, and she wasn't with the Browns. He tracked down Evie through Principal Sawyer.“That red-headed harlot knew something. She was lucky her parents were there, or else I would have beaten the truth out of her. The way she turned up her nose at me like I was trash. I should have slapped her across her face until she begged me to stop,” he mumbled to himself, then took a swig of his scotch. His informants notified him that the name Pebbles Hemington didn't pop up on any of their databases; They had checked the train stations, the bus terminals, and the airports — even so, there was no trace of her.Something odd came up when Val, a man who owed Sinister a favour, told him that there was missing footage from the airport that day she went missing, which got Sinister thinking that Pebbles might have gotten help. He knew whoever assisted her must be someone with a lot of money and connec

29: OFF TO THE GAME PART 1
PEBBLES' POVI scrambled through my suitcase, trying to cypher through those rags I called clothes. I struggled to find a decent enough outfit. The only items I found were brown corduroy pants that had seen better days and Grandma's old blue cotton sweater that was missing a button or two.I was never a girl who paid much attention to material objects or overly obsessed about outer beauty, but I wanted to look perfect for Ace. He requested me to accompany him to a football game that evening; it astonished me when I learnt he was a Harvard sophomore. My mouth fell agape when he revealed he was also an honour student on the Dean's list.I slipped on the raggedy items of clothing, praying to God that they didn't rip apart from old age and deterioration, then I made my approach to the living room. Ace was leaning against the front door. He had a hand in his pocket, and he was twirling a set of keys on his finger. He launched forward as he kept my gaze. This man was nothing less than extra

30: OFF TO THE GAME PART 2
I calmed myself with deep breaths. “Who?” I asked and just like clockwork, Jillian showed up.“Hey guys,” she greeted.“Jilly, take care of her. You know the details and Dollface, I'll see you later,” he kissed me on the lips and jogged off towards the locker room.“Well, I'll be damned. He has this rule about not kissing on the lips — What are you, some kind of witch?” Jilly tugged my hand and pulled me along the corridors. I could not help it. Jealousy chewed at my soul like a dementor from hell. “So, do you come to his games often?”“Woah, easy there, Dollface, do not — I repeat, do not go there. Ace and I had never been intimate.”Damn! She saw right through me. But what the hell, she told me they had sex a couple of times. Liar. “But you said you two slept together a few times.”“Yeah, but that was just it. We didn't cuddle after, we didn't kiss. There was no cosmic connection — none of that Hallmark card bullshit. Ace is very complex. He has — issues, but as his ex-therapist, I
