I have no idea what Ace and I are . Hell , I have no idea if I feel as intensely as he does . I do know that I enjoy spending time with him .

Ace is very sweet , he's also very caring . He is always here. We don't really talk about our pasts , but I have a little bit of information on him .

Life is really taking a twist on us . Last week Genna offered to give us couple counciling . I remember how unsettled she seemed .

"So you and Ace are a thing huh?" She asked , her top lip twitching .

"We're some-thing ." I replied, chuckling.

She nodded then gulped loudly . I looked at her and she averted her gaze toward the place where the sky kisses the tips of the mountains , the horizon .

"I could ... you know ... give you guys couple therapy ? " she insists still staring at the horizon .

"Really ? But I dont think we need it that much." I said . I knew that I wouldn't feel comfortable talking about my relationship with someone who knows me as a violent person .

"I just feel like considering your pasts , the both of you need to know each other more than you do now . And I'm willing to be the mediator , I'm willing to iron things out ." She said , then scurried away .

I was not sold on it , but when I raised the point to Ace and he thought that I'd be a great idea . So here we are , walking to the hall .

The big door squeaks as we push it open . Being welcomed by the light yellow-ness of the walls , the chairs are neatly packed over each other . The window let in natural air and the room is bright and feels like .

We walk to the far corner , toward Genna's office. My heart begins thumping violently in my chest . Ace seems to notice that as he grabs my hand and squeezes it .

I look up at him and the content look on his face tells me that he too is nervous but is being brave for me . I inwardly coo . That's soo cute!!

He twists the bronze door and reveals the beautiful office . The walls are a light grey . There is a bookshelf to the far right and picture of all of us on the far right wall . The wall behind has her degree in councilling and what looks like an award .

In the middle of the room , sits a big sandy brown table , only carrying a cup of pens and a stack of papers . And a picture frame which is facing her .

Infront of the desk are two leather chairs . Ace and I plop our bodies onto the cold leather . We both face the big black leather chair Genna in sitting on .

She is facing the wall infront of us , holding to big arched window which reveal the garden and other prisoners working .

She turns and faces us . A smile dances on her face .

"Welcome , beautiful day isn't it ?" She asks , thumb pointing to the view behind her .

We both nod . A clear sign that we are both very nervous . Her smile grows even wider .

"Come on! Loosen up . Let me start small . What do you like about your partner?" She asks . Folding her expression into a professional one .

"Uh ." I blab first .

"He's very caring , he's intelligent . He listens to me when I talk , he understands me and also tries to understand why I do the things I do . The way he looks at me , it's so... loving ." I say then I turn to him and he has the very look I'm talking about.

"He can stand me when I'm annoying . He makes me feel like I'm enough . He says all the right things . He's goddamn sexy , he speaks his mind and he eats vegetables when I tell him to . " I say to her . He chuckles , and she just looks at me blankly .

"I like her because she's the most beautiful woman I've ever met . She's annoying , she's smart , she has a different way of thinking . When I listen to her talk , I just hear a Maven Gaye song.

She has the voice of an angel . Her heart , she has the biggest heart . I love her smile . She's just like a hot potato , it burns but still very delicious.

She knows what she wants in life , a very determined woman she is . She's kind and sweet but also rude and nasty . She wants what's best for me . And something calls me to her , something tells me that I'm supposed to love her ." He says , the entire time staring at me .

" Wow , beautiful . Now do you both know about each other's partners back in the outside world?" She asks .

This is one of those questions that would have made me run out of here crying , but I feel Ace's hand on my thigh , he gives me a light squeeze . I know that he's giving me silent reassurance , that he's here.

"Yes , I've told her about Melanie . " He speaks first . "And she's also told me a bit of Jason." He says for me because he realises that I'm not comfortable speaking.

"Great start , now we know that communication is key in a healthy relationship. Do you know that the both of you are still in love with your partners that are in the outside world?" She asks .

I take a sharp intake . She sure knows how to push my buttons . I look up at Ace , he nods . My eyes turn a bit blurry . I close my eyes then look back at him .

"I hadn't told him that I was still inlove with Jason . But to be honest , ever since I met Ace , ever since I started speaking to him , I haven't even thought of Jason . I dont care for him anymore . I like Ace and there's no one else I'd rather be with ." I say . He caresses my thigh .

"I also hadn't told her about Melanie . But I really am over her . I love Cassandra , Melanie was a mistake , but Cass? I'm meant to be with her ." He says .

Genna continues asking more questions and we reply. It actually goes better than I could've imagined. Later we go back to the rooms , he leaves me with a kiss on the forehead .

.

Ace and I are sitting on the roof . We're watching the clouds . He point to one and tell me what he thinks it looks like . Nothing could make this moment better .

He draws circles on my thigh . He silently hums a song and I just listen . Nodding along to his song . He's not to had of a singer .

"I wish I met you first ." He says . I know he's said it before but if sounds great . It makes me feel like I'm the only girl in the world .

I've been noticing the smiles that dance on his features everytime I come around . Nothing could explain how I feel .

It's as if my heart explodes , my heart swells and dances . Its amazing what one person can make you feel .

He smiles . He kisses my cheek .

"Why are you so quiet? " he asks . A slight chuckle added to his question .

"I'm just thinking ." I say . I'm on my period and the pains make my abdomen feel like it's being torn apart .

He rubs my tummy, and smiles.

"Why are you smiling ?" I ask him .

"It feels good to think that one day our son will be in there ." He says . A gasps rips through my throat .

"What's wrong . " he asks through furrowed brows .

"How do you know that it'll be a boy?" I ask him . His smile grows bigger .

"I just know baby ." He says .

My heart beats faster when he calls me that . I look at him . And the next words are unexpected.

"I love you." I say to him . His smile grows brighter , it looks boyish . He looks very cute and happy . He looks happy .

We hear foot steps approaching us . Scrunching against the little rocks on the floor . We both dont bother to look back to check who is there .

"Wonderful view you guys have created ." A voice that sounds even and smooth . Genna .

We both untangle ourselves and look up at her . She smiles .

"Ace you have a visitor , in the hall." She says then leaves .

That was weird , her smile had a hidden agenda .

"Do you mind walking me to the hall?" He asks , I shake my head .

He gives me the cutest puppy dog eyes . I sigh . He sure knows how to convince me in this world .

"Yes , it's fine. Let's go. " I say , we both stand . And begin walking to the hall . But first , the stairs I hate very much .

"First one to get down!" He yells . And bolts down the stairs .

I follow suit . Pushing my legs to go as fast as the can . Laughter booms from the both of us till we get to the door of the rooms .

"First one to the hall doors !" I'm the one who yells this time .

We both push ourselves forward . He reaches the door first and I continue running toward him . We're both laughing loudly as he opens the door .

Immediately when we enter his laughter dies . I stop too , I look and him . A look of horror followed by surprise paints itself on his face.

A beautiful young woman sits there . Olive skin , brown curly hair . Green aloe coloured eyes , pointed nose , plumb lips and a heart shaped face . She's fitted to be a model . Her lips are covered with a smirk and a striking red colour .

"Melanie?" Ace asks .

I almost die . What the fuck?

"Ace." She says back , smiling .

I look at her as she struts towards Ace . Her bust is full and bell-shaped. Her waist is thin and she is very curvaceous. She is wearing a blue jean, an orange t shirt and white sneakers .

She embraces Ace . Her arms wonder around her body for a little to long . Ace's arms are still at his sides . This bitch completely ignores my presence.

I cough . Her gaze falls to me . Only then I notice that she's as tall as Ace is , and I'm the height of a fifteen year old . She looks down at me .

"Who is your little friend ." She says . Her voice very mocking . Ace does nothing to defend me .

"Maybe I should leave you." I say .

I walk out of the door and walk to my room . When I open the door , I see that Isa is not in bed . I tuck myself in , and fall into a peaceful dreamless nap.

I'm awakened by a shaking . And my name being whispered . My eyes pop open and through the blurry vision I see Ace smiling sweetly at me .

"Wake up ." He says .

"Where's your Melanie?" I ask cheekily.

"My Melanie? " he asks through one raised brow .

"You know that I hate her . I want nothing to do with her . " He adds .

"Then why didnt you chase her off?" I ask .

"Incase you didn't notice , I hadn't said anything . I was surprised to see her . In the 7 years I'd been in prison she'd never came to see me . And now she's here . I was baffled. " he says . Makes sense .

"Why didn't you stop me from leaving then?" I ask cheekily .

"I wanted to know what she had to say. And I didn't think you'd be comfortable with sitting in our conversation. " he said .

"Okay, I believe you . What did she want? " I ask .

"She said some bullshit about still loving me and wanting me back . But I told her to fuck off and go visit that idiot at his grave and leave me the shit alone ." He says .

I nod . He smiles and connect his forehead with mine .

"I'm sorry baby , but you know that you're my everything right . Come give me a kiss ." He says .

Only then I notice that he's tucked himself I to the bed with me . I push myself up so that I can be ontop of him .

I move my lips in sync with his . His lips are cold against mine . His tongue tastes like an orange . The kiss is slow and hesitant . Loving and gentle . He pushes me off him .

" I dont want to ... take things far." He says . And my palm falls accidentally on his groin, its extremely hard and I understand what he's talking about .

I nod and instead prompt for cuddling . His hard dick on my back churns my stomach . A content look plays on my face . I'm happy .
