"You know what…talking to you feels like I'm talking to a…" I think. "to a jellyfish!"
He scowled, his brows knitting together.
"Jellyfish…?" He looked offended but unsure, he recovers his expression and frowns, ready to argue again. "Well then…you look like a, like a bat. Ask why." He says almost proud.
"No." I turn around.
He walks behind. "Hey, ask me why."
"No!"
He starts walking beside me and nudges my arm. "Ask."
I breathe out and smile forcefully, acting interested. "Whyyy?"
"Because you suck the blood out of me." He looks too proud.
"Bats suck blood?" I ask looking at him like he's dumb. He is.
"Yes—Well, I don't know but they're associated with vampires aren't they?"
"Those are called vampire bats."
He thinks before scoffing. "Same thing. Whatever I change my mind, you're a mosquito, always irritating and sucking blood."
Weren't we like…fighting a few minutes ago? I mean…we still are.
"Why did you call me a jellyfish? Is it cause i'm electric? I get it every girl who touches me gets a shock." He smirks.
Who made him the chairman?
"Cause you don't have a brain." I mumble to myself.
"What?"
"Are we leaving, or are you planning to start a tribe?" I say, annoyed.
"With who? You or grandma Mabel?" He says a grin on his face.
I look at him, disgusted.
His smile drops. "Yeah, the second option doesn't sound right."
"Even the first—-" I was about to yell when suddenly a group of men…were running towards us.
Wait, are we getting kidnapped again or what?
Ace frowns, ready to run. "What the—"
"Sir!! Sir!!" They yell. "Sir Ace!"
"Oh." Ace smirks. "My men." He says proudly looking at me signaling to them.
Never said they're mine.
"Sir Ace." They stop in front of him huffing. "We're here."
"Really? Stop lying~" Ace fans his hand, sarcastically before his smile drops. "What the fuck took you so long? Were you waiting to see my skeleton here?"
"Sir—we apologize. Someone stole our cars and us...too."
Ace looks at them, they don't have in-ears and no walkie talkie. "So you got robbed?"
"Yes, Sir." They look down, embarrassed.
Ace breathes out irritated, pinching the bridge of his nose, he walks around before standing in front of them. "You know what, forget it. Right now, I want to get out of here."
"Sir! The cars are ready." They… salute him?
I frown, why did they salute?
After walking to the main road I see a few cars parked there.
Ace walks there as if he won a war. "Finally. Let's go."
As soon as he approaches the car one of his men clears his throat. "Sir…actually, the tires are punctured."
Ace nods. "Oh yeah—-WHAT!" His expression changes. "And you're telling me now?"
Even if he told you before, what could you do? Fix them yourself?
As expected, his men are just like him.
I sigh. I am ready for everything today. I am prepared, I wouldn't be shocked even if I am struck by lightning today.
"Sir, help is on the way. We just have to wait…"
Ace looks annoyed before huffing. "This is crazy. How much time?"
"Maybe an hour…"
Ace nods. "Hm, ok—-"
"Or, a few hours..." The man's gaze doesn't move away from the ground.
Ace spins his head to him before letting out a heavy sigh. "Great…"
The man gulps before the next sentence. "Or…a day—-"
"A DAY! WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM? FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY!" Ace yells.
The man steps back. "Sir actually someone has hidden network jammers around so we couldn't contact anyone but i'm sure they'll be here." He smiles, confident—proud.
Ace looks at him his lip twitching in annoyance. "That mother—he had to do all this. He could just come to my house to talk but no, he had to be a hero and do all this nonsense."
He's talking about Mikhail? I think he is.
I sit down on the nearest rock.
He turns around looking at me. "You enjoying this? Why are you sitting so calmly?"
"Do you want me to fly us away with my wings?" I look at him, deadpan.
The man standing behind scoffs before Ace turns to him and his expression turns professional.
"You're here to laugh? You can't even do your job properly!" He yells.
Even you can't.
"Go away." Ace sternly orders.
"I apologize, sir." The man bows before walking away.
Ace turns to me before running his hand through his hair and breathing out.
30 minutes later
"How long will they take!" Ace yells at his men.
His men just apologize.
I feel like a statue at this point before my body stiffens up I get up.
HonkHonk
A car approaches, a man with his head out. "Ace!!"
Ace looks at him. "What's he doing here?"
The man parks the car before getting out and putting on his sunglasses. "I'm here to save you." He pulls his sunglasses down with his finger before grinning.
"Fuck off. Why are you here?" Ace asks.
"Oh come on, aren't you happy to see your best friend after so long~" He pouts.
What kind of product is this now?
Ace backs his head looking at him with a disgusted look. "We met a week ago."
"That's what I'm saying, it's been so long~" He goes in for a hug but Ace pushes him away. "Alright you meanie, I got back from Italy yesterday and today I wanted to meet you but found out you were here lost in the woods, so I thought I should go and save my princess—-"
"Get the hell out of my face!" Ace yells and walks past him.
Are they…muah muah—-
That man looks at me and raises his brows. "Woo~ who's this?" He walks close, tilting his face down and looking me through his sunglasses. "Hey there, I'm Eden and you?"
Before I open my mouth he lets out a low chuckle. "I know who you are," His voice flirty. "You're mine—-" He gets slapped in the head by Ace. "Ow, what was that for? You're trying to ruin my image in front of a beautiful girl."
"Just shut up, where are the keys?" Ace asks.
"Keys…to my heart? You already have them—-"
"Stop joking around! I'll hang you upside down and tickle you till death."
"Will you look me in the eyes while you do it?" Eden looks at him, almost no expression but slightly serious.
Ace freezes and looks at him. No expression as if he's done this multiple times.
Am I interrupting something?
