Touching the Heart of Ace novel Chapter 36

Robbie had a slight skip in his steps. He would make an amazing father. His squeezed my hands and gave me a small peck on forehead.

??Robbie...??

??Yes, Angel.?? He smiled and leaned down to my face.

I pressed my palm on his cheeks. His hands covered mine and he closed his eyes.

When he opened them, I could see how much I affected him.

Was that a lie? I rubbed my thumb on the side of his lips.

??Come on, let us go.?? I curled my hands around his and pulled him along.

We were going to a baby shopping centre.

The shop was a big one even though the organization was not user friendly. It would be a pain to shop along with a kid. It was a good thing, Robbie decided to shop before Bobby came along.

??Welcome to ??Baby Bunny.???? A beautiful girl came to greet us who stood way too close to Robbie.

I cringed at the name. It sounded like a stripper club. Why would anyone name a kid store the name of stripper clubs? Or were the stripper clubs named...

That was more disturbing.

The girl was eyeing him. Of course, she was! Robbie was a hunk.

??Ace.??

??Huh???

??You zoned out on us.?? Robbie smiled.

??Sorry.??

He patted my back. ??Come on, help me.?? Robbie did not let my hands go.

I looked around the stuff while Robbie rambled about his requirements.

I gently tugged on his hands. ??No, wheels on the cradle, Robbie.?? I pointed to the wheels.

??This is the new model, sir. Our high-end customers love it.?? I had a feeling the girl did not like my input.

Why?

Yup, the wheeled cradles costed quarter-grand extra.

But, it was dangerous. What if the thing rolled at night? What if the baby kicked inside and then went out?

I have watched ??A baby??s day out.?? The outside was dangerous for Bobby.

I knew at any other time my smart brain would kick my stupid heart and announce ??no internal force can change the inertia?? but... this was about Bobby. My brain had already shut down at the sight of wheels.

??No wheels, Robbie.?? I said to Robbie. Should I stomp my feet for effect?

??Of course, Angel. No wheels. Can we see some other models???

??But, I insist...?? The girl stepped closer.

??No wheels. We have decided.??

The girl gave me an evil eye. Seriously? Was she trying to put Bobby in danger for extra bucks?

??Any other suggestions, dear??? I loved how Robbie gave me his whole attention without falling for the over-flirtatious girl.

??Choose light colours.??

He smiled. He loved when I added suggestions. Should he not discuss these with Janice? If I did not know better, I would have thought Robbie was a single parent.

I left Robbie at the cradles. It was his baby. He might have his own ideas and dreams. If I stayed close he would ask for my opinion and would end up buying my favourites not his.

Oooh! Plushies!!!

A big well filled with Plush Toys!!!

I loved them. I LOVEEED THEEEM

Baby seal.

Baby dolphin.

Baby lion.

Baby kangaroo.

I would ask Robbie to buy some of these. Which baby did not love plushy? I did. I was still in plushy heaven.

Ooooh baby elephant was so cute.

??Ace...Angel...?? I heard Robbie??s panicked voice.

I watched him looking around in fear.

??What is wrong, Robbie???

He exhaled in relief. ??I could not find you.??

He hugged me tight. ??Where did you go? Don??t leave me!??

Big Baby!

I rubbed his chest, soothing him. His heart beat was elevated.

??I am right here. If I left you, you would kidnap me again.?? I pinched him.

??That I will. I need you. Where did you go??? He pressed kisses on my head.

??Plushy! We need to buy a lot, Robbie. I loved them as a kid. They make amazing baby pillows especially the baby seal. It is soft...??

Robbie kissed me.

These were the moments I felt like Robbie loved me. The kiss was not lustful. He was making sure I was there and that it was indeed me who he was kissing.

I rose to my tiptoes and hugged him back trying to reassure his troubled mind.

I heard a gasp.

I gently patted his chest. He responded extremely if I pushed him. So, now I just let him know that I wanted to stop, and he would.

He let me go after giving a final peck.

The girl had turned away.

??Do you need anything, Angel??? Robbie asked after choosing twenty of Plush Toys. The more the merrier. I was happy.

??This one.?? I picked up the baby dolphin. If did not take one for myself, Robbie would buy the entire store hoping it had something I liked.

He kissed my cheek and we went to the billing section. I walked around where Robbie could see me and picked up some sweets.

??You are disgusting.?? Someone whispered near me.

It was that girl. Her eyes were filled with hatred.

??Excuse me???

??You should be ashamed of yourself for being a fag.?? Why should I?

??I am not. Now move!?? I tried to leave.

??YOU ARE FUCKING DISGUSTING, YOU FAG.?? She shouted.

Jesus.

I rolled my eyes. I was not going to cause a scene.

??YOU KISSED A MAN!??

??No, the man kissed me. I was just not complaining because I loved it.?? If she wanted to pick a fight, fight with Robbie.

I had already told the idiot several times, since our first time, to control his naughtiness in public. But, did he ever listen?

Noooo... ??You belong to me, Angel.?? and then he would kiss me some more and grope me if I was in good mood.

??He kissed you? Why would a stud like him want to be with you??? She smirked.

??I have no idea.?? Whatever I did, he always came back to me.

??What is going on??? Robbie clearly knew what was going on.

??The girl wants to know why a stud like you kissed me??? I thought the girl did not expect me to be truthful. Her eyes were big as saucers.

??Because he is mine.?? Robbie pulled me to him.

I loved that answer. I leaned to his chest, just to show her, but Robbie kissed me on the lips and gave my lips a small bite.

??Come on, let us check out.??

The girl followed us.

I hated these kind of people; they asked for trouble because their ego was bruised. She made rude comments about me at the counter and Robbie finally had enough.

??We will shop from somewhere else.?? He dragged me to the exit and the alarms flared.

The baby dolphin in his hands.

Of course the security came running and Robbie tried to give the toy back but the girl was not having it.

??He tried to steal. Call the police.?? She asked the staff.

??I did not try to steal, I forgot the thing in my hand. I did not leave the shop. Here.??

But she refused to accept it back. ??CALL THE POLICE.??

Robbie did not bat an eye. If anything he was calm. Too calm.

Well, sorry girl!

Forty-six minutes and counting!

The cops were as irritated as we were.

The girl, whose name was Gina had refused to give me a chair in the containment room. There was only one metal chair and a table. So, Robbie made me sit on the chair while he stood leaning on the table.

The cops arrived after a few minutes and pushed a cushioned rolling chair to Robbie. Robbie placed me on the new chair and he took the metal one.

Gina was fuming! She honestly did not like the way Robbie was doting on me.

So, one of the cop was now standing with his hands crossed, aggravated.

??Arrest him!??
