'To give me all your love

Is all I ever ask

Cause what you don't understand

Is I'd catch a grenade for you'

☆〜（ゝ。∂）

When we went inside the house, it was decorated with Christmas strings and the furniture was replaced with more snow related furniture.

"I.. wh.. did you know this happened?" I looked at Ace in awe.

"I told the maids to do what they wanted," he shrugs.

"Ace, wow," I stare at the shiny house.

"Now how you feeling?" He pulls me towards him.

"I didn't mean to get overwhelmed this morning, last night was, it was," I search for the word to say.

"I know," he smiles and pulls me into a loose hug.

"I love you," I whisper, still not believing that I have a man that loves me the same amount I love him.

He smiles and exhales through his nose, "I know."

"Alrighty!" I suddenly snap. "You gotta go to work and I need to call Rose over."

"Finally decided to let her into our home?" He mocks me.

"We're spending Christmas here so duh," I roll my eyes.

"Okay sassy pants," he chuckles, kisses my head and heads out.

"So you're not a virgin anymore?" Rose asks for the tenth time since she's been here.

"Rose, it was embarrassing to say at first, now it's annoying," I roll my eyes.

"With the mafia gang leader and multimillionaire Ace King," she repeats.

"He's Just Ace in my opinion," I shrug.

"So y'all gonna have a kid together now?"

"Rose!"

"I'm just saying, sooner or later it'll happen," she whispers, seeing Ace enter the room. He comes straight to me and whispers in my ear.

"I'm free for the rest of the day, I say we kick the ginger out," he puts his hands around my waist.

"As tempting as that sounds, I'm being forced to go out and socialize," I pout.

"You're forcing her to socialize?" He says in a cold tone towards Rose.

"Unless you want her to die with one ginger friend, yes I'm forcing her," she puts her hands on her waist in a challenging stance.

Ace seems to be really irritated so I change the subject before anything else goes down.

"Party!" They both look at me weird.

"Invite some of the gang and Rose will get some of our mutual friends, pretty please?" I pull the puppy eyes.

"I'll ask Blake to get some of the guys if you really want," Ace sighs.

"Thank you," I gush and kiss his lips in a quick motion to save Rose the PDA.

"Can't believe I'm being kicked out of my house," he mutters under his breath as he's leaving.

Rose looks at me with a smug look, "you've awoken a sex-craved monster."

She laughs at the look in my face and we start heading to the club Rose mentioned.

"I really don't know how I'm supposed to get into this place," I remind Rose once again.

"Just give your phone," she says as we arrive at the door. "Wow, you only have two contacts," she snickers quietly while I slap her shoulder playfully.

"IDs?" A broad man asks us. Rose gives him hers and I just freeze.

"Ray?" I hear Ace's voice from the interphone of my phone as the man continues to stare down at me.

"Speak," Rose orders.

"Hey, uhm, so im trying to get into a club but I don't have an ID," I laugh nervously as the man's gaze hardens. "And the man is really starting to make me feel anxious, he's sending daggers towards me," I whisper the last part.

"Give him the phone, love," Ace says in soft voice.

When I hand the phone, it takes five seconds for all the colour on the tall man's face to disappear. He apologizes to Ace many times before letting us pass.

"Dude, I wish I had someone to scare everyone away," Rose sighs.

As I'm about to respond, some guys start calling Rose over. The guys are the ones that were with Jacob at the college station.

"You made it!" One guy exclaims.

"Who's this? I've seen you before," another guy points at me.

As I'm starting to feel conscious about everything and about to call Ace to calm me down, Rose brings me front and center and yells above the music to introduce me.

"They were out of club soda, what kind of club runs out of club soda?" A familiar voice from behind says.

"Jake, just get yourself some beer. It's not that bad," the second guy says.

Jake. Jacob? I look back to see his blond hair come in view.

"Ay, it's Ray," he points at me and walks towards me while I take a step back. I'm not used to people touching me or coming near me without hurting me. Ace and Rose are the only exceptions and maybe Blake.

"Rose, who are these people?" I whisper next to her.

"Right! Ray this is Mark, Jake, and Alex. I call them the basic name group," she points at each of the guys.

"It's actually Marcus," the British sounding dude says. He has brown hair and dark brown eyes from what I can see.

"Alexander, Jake's brother," the other blond says. He does have the same hair as Jacob but I wouldn't have known they were brothers, maybe cousins?

"You know me, Jacob," the last of the guys say.

"Nice to see you again Jacob," I nod politely and acknowledge the other two.

"We're going to dance, you wanna come?" Rose asks after talking to the guys for a while. I reply a quick no and watch as Marcus leads Rose away.

"You seem kinda young Ray," Alexander says out of the blue while Jacob listens to the conversation.

"Uhm, I'm 19 and almost graduating so I guess that's why," I laugh nervously.

"Damn, we got a nerd among us," he chuckles.

"Alex," Jacob warns.

"That was a compliment! I'm down to befriend a nerd," he wiggles his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, I'm not good at reading people. Are you attempting to flirt with me? Cause you're doing really bad," I ask curiously.

They both looked shocked for a second before Jacob bursts out laughing and Alexander scoffs.

"Man, first time I see a rejection this way," Jacob yells over the music as he continues laughing.

"As if you can do any better," Alexander crosses his arms.

"I know she would choose me over you any day," Jacob challenges him further.

"Uhm, guys," I try to reach them but the music trumps my little voice.

"You got a little crush Jakey?"

"Oh fu-"

"GUYS!" I get in between them.

"Let's ask Ray. Ray, dear, my little brother seems to have caught the crushies," Alex teases. "Would you ever sleep with him?"

The fact that they could just have a casual conversation over this in such place exceeds my imagination.

"I didn't catch anything. Don't listen to him," they start arguing back and forth again asking me who I would choose.

"Well, I'm not sure how my boyfriend would feel about all this," I finally say. They both stop talking almost comically and turn their heads towards me slowly.

"Boyfriend? Aren't you a child?" Alex says in shock.

"Does he go to the school?" Jacob says at the same time as Alex.

"Not a child, I'm nineteen. Also yes," I stand proudly. "You might know him, his name is Ace King," their jaws drop so far, i almost got concerned if it dislocated.

"I wonder if they do know me," a deep voice says from right behind me.
