The Last Laugh novel Chapter 56

***

Ace's POV:

I parked in front of heather's building. I picked my phone and texted Heather,

-Princess? I'm downstairs.-

I waited for her patiently. It wasn't an all serious or formal outing that we were gonna have. We were just gonna hang out a little, eat and have fun.

I had a red T-shirt on, jeans and sneakers. Simple.

Heather's POV:

"He's here," I told Shirley.

"Okay, girl. Have fun. I'll be waiting for you."

"Okay."

I got my little purse with my phone and left the apartment.

Ace's POV:

I waited patiently and soon she turned up. When I saw her come out of the building and run down the stairs, I almost lost it.

She had tiny Jean shorts on and a long sleeve top that stopped halfway down her tummy, exposing her navel. She had nice little white sneakers on.

Gosh I tried not to have an erection.

She crossed the street and made her way towards the car.

I stepped out and she hugged me.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"You look good," I told her.

"Thanks. You too. And you smell good too."

I smiled.

"Thanks, honey," I walked over to the other side and opened the door for her. She got in. I went back and got in myself. That day was gonna be a good one.

We drove up to to McDonald's where we sat down to eat.

"Where you wanna go after this?" I asked her.

"Hm. How bout we go stroll at the beach?"

"Good idea, baby. And I decide where we go after that."

"Of course."

Heather's POV :

I knew I was gonna have a lot of fun with Ace. He was such a nice person to hang out with.

As we ate, he made me laugh a lot. On the spot he was able to make me forget all worries.

"So princess, you told your mom about that Kevin issue?"

"Not really. I just told her we broke up. I didn't exactly tell her about his cheating on me with Sawyer. I'm still disgusted."

"Hope you don't feel hurt anymore."

"I don't. And it's now I realise that I didn't even love him that much."

"Really?"

"Yeah. If I'd really loved him, I would still be locked up in my apartment, shedding all my tears by now and even you, would not console me."

"Thank goodness! He doesn't deserve you," he held my hand and I felt goosebumps take over my skin.

"Yeah..."

We continued eating and soon we headed for the beach.

Ace parked his car a little far off so we could stroll at the beach. We walked on the little sidewalk and looked down at the people having fun on the sand and in the water.

He'd bought me an ice cream.

As we walked , we kept on conversing.

I was soon done eating my ice cream. The sun was slowly setting and I wanted to watch it set.

"I love watching the sunset," I went and leaned over the little bridge's balcony, watching.

Ace's POV:

I watched Heather and her pretty self go lean over the balcony. Damn. The posture she took almost sent my eyes rolling out of her sockets. Heather was more than hot. Without letting her know, I took out my phone and clicked a good picture.

She was a babe, alright.

Unluckily for me, she heard the sound of my camera and turned to me.

"Oh my gosh, did you just film me??" she asked in amusement. I hid my phone behind my back.

"Uh, no?"

She giggled.

"Give me that!" she ran and seized the phone, then stared at the picture, "Oh my gosh! I am so deleting this!" she laughed.

"Oh no, please! It's not my fault if you're hot. Oh cmon. Don't delete it, please," I pleaded with puppy eyes. she giggled.

"Fine, handsome. You can keep it for your lonely nights," she teased and threw the phone at me. I caught it.

"My lonely nights, huh? You're a dangerous girl."

She laughed.

"Everybody has a naughty side."

"Hm, I see," I eyed her unconsciously and she blushed.

"Don't look at me like that," she said playfully, rolling her eyes.
