The Last Laugh novel Chapter 40

***

Ace's POV:

The next morning, I had so much to do that I didn't have time to go tell Heather good morning.

While I worked, I thought. Maybe I should not get too close to Heather for the moment. I might not be able to accomplish my plan. I had to try and put my feelings for her aside for the moment. I just had to try! I'd come back to revenge as well as for her. But I had to take care of the most important thing first. Heather would have to wait. I had to do my best.

At lunch, I realised she wasn't around because apparently she'd gone out with Kevin.

I decided to concentrate on the mother witch. As for sawyer, she was in my trap already. I made my way to Christina's office.

"Good morning, boss." I said, entering.

She smiled.

"Good morning, Ace."

I took a seat.

"You're not going for lunch?" I asked.

"No, I'm too busy."

"Oh. Means I'm bothering you."

She smiled.

"No, you're not. You never bother me. Though recently you've not been having my time." she raised a brow.

I leaned closer. Her hand was on the table. I held it with both hands.

"I'm sorry. I've recently been very busy too. Forgive me."

She gave a satisfied little smile.

"I forgive you, Ace."

I smirked at her and the witch blushed a little.

"You're so beautiful." I said. She looked at me with that smirk still on her lips.

"Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me. You're a mature, independent and beautiful lady. You might think I'm crazy," I acted nervous, "...but I have this attraction for older and mature women."

She bit her lower lip.

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yes. I know it's odd but–"

"No, it's not." she put her hand on mine and caressed a little.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'm a woman who loves the company of young men like yourself. Let that be our little secret."

"Okay, Christina." I pretended to look around like trying to make sure no one was around. I gathered some courage and stood up from my seat, leaned over the table until my lips were close to her ear.

"I'm happy you just told me that..." I whispered. I could hear her rapid breathing.

"Why?" she whispered back.

"Because, Christina welds," I intentionally brushed my lips slightly against her ear. I felt her shiver a little. Everything was so easy with such a woman.

" ...you don't know how much I think you of you everyday. How much I think of doing a lot of things." I hissed.

"T– to me?" she stuttered like an idiot.

"Yes."

"Things like?" she asked, leaning close so my lips could brush her ear again.
