Touching the Heart of Ace novel Chapter 45

??Now show me that smile.??

I nibbled on my bottom lip, refusing to meet his eyes. His warmth breath on my ear was giving me goose bumps.

??Kitten...??

??I am not a kitten.?? I mumbled.

??Oh really??? He showed me the teeth mark, he had on his hand where I had bit him hard.

I was sorry but he was irritating me non-stop; and I got angry. I rubbed my thumb on it; Robbie should know that I was sorry. It was his fault anyways.

??Sweet Jesus you would be the death of me, but what a way to go.?? He sighed and hugged me to his chest. ??You have me wrapped around your little finger and you know how to play me like a fiddle, you little devil.??

??But...??

??No baby, this is only allowed if you stick to your end of bargain. Promise me.??

??I did.?? I glared at him, staring at his eyes, but I knew how serious he was. ??I promise, Robbie.??

??Good, because I will chain you to the chair if I have to...?? He pinched my butt making me jump. ??Aah, there is that smile. So pretty, my Angel.?? I blushed and ducked my head.

He kissed me on my cheeks, several times, and finally resting on my lips. A closed mouthed one that was making my heart sing.

He sighed. ??I miss you so much and that makes no sense, because you are literally in my arms.?? He gave me another small kiss, which soon became a long deep one.

I coiled my hands on his neck and let his tongue in. God! I missed this so much. His hands were tightening around my waist and a moan escaped from him.

I loved how much I affected him.

??Robbie...?? I tapped his shoulder when his hand slithered down the back of my pyjama bottoms.

He took his hand away, panting on the crook of my neck. ??Angel...??

I did not know how long we kept on staring at each other. He was so handsome; his normally sleek business-cut hair was messed up because of me, his lips were slightly red due to my bites, he had stress lines because of me... Why was my heart so tender?

He closed his eyes and pressed his forehead on mine. ??Talk to Jason, love. He is worried and honestly I just don??t want him yapping again. My ears literally ache.??

I chuckled. ??I will.??

??Go ahead, I will bring Baby Angel to you.??

I nodded and rubbed my hand on his bruise. Robbie pressed a kiss on my lips again. ??Go.??

I smiled and walked to the living room.

I was staying.

I had packed my bags and called for a cab and all that, but Robbie did not let me leave.

I thought I better leave early than waiting for Janice to come home. Well, it was not my fault that I cried. I did not want to go and everyone was pushing me away.

??Not pushing you away, Angel, just worried about your dreams and future.??; Robbie had said. Same thing, but I won.

But there was indeed a catch; actually catches.

I had to enrol to the next batch, no matter what. I was not to fight anyone on that. I half-heartedly agreed. I meant, it was not like I was losing an opportunity, many people of my age were still in graduate-programme. But I knew when you shut my mouth.

I had to do some online courses, which made no sense but Robbie was adamant on that, not budging an inch. He insisted on some business courses and economics.

The only happy thing about that was Robbie was making Jason take courses too, along with me. But since, Jason was a business major, he had to take computer courses. It would do us good when we started our own company, or that was what Robbie said. I honestly hope Jason regret his decision to side with Robbie.

Then Robbie set up a virtual classroom for me, so I could still continue with the teaching and help Liam from here. Dean was ecstatic.

If I agreed to all of this, I could take a break from studies. Honestly I only loved the last one, rest was just to make him happy. But, it was not so bad, considering the other option was getting a nanny and my going back to college.

No nannies. I did not want to think about that. I was glad mom was with me on this one. Jason and Robbie was surprised that mom was against them, but I knew mom would support me on that.

After all... nothing, no nannies.

Jason jumped at seeing me.

??I am still mad at you.?? I glared at him.

??I am mad at you too.?? He crossed his arms.

I stuck my tongue out.

And the pain-in-my-nose blew a raspberry. ??I was doing the right thing and I would not say sorry for that.??

He was right, I knew why Jason did what he did, but that did not mean I had to be happy about it. I stomped to the couch and parked my ass down, huffing.

??Goose...??

??What??? I snarled.

He handed me a package. I rudely yanked it from him.

A chocolate cake.

??It is small.??

Jason rolled his eyes and followed me to the kitchen. ??I want a favour.??

??No.??

??Come on, I got you a cake.??

??A small one.??

??I will get you the biggest one, if you help me.?? He was desperate.

??With real fruits on top.?? I knew how to bargain; I was from a business family.

??With real fruits and edible ribbons on top.?? Wow, that was an offer I could never refuse.

??Done.??

??Oh my God, thank you. I love you so much.?? He kissed my cheek.

??I love edible ribbons so much. Want to watch Lilo and Stitch??? He would join if he knew what was good for him.

??Of course. Lilo and Stitch, my favourite movie of all time.??

??I don??t appreciate the attitude.??

??Says the Attitude Beach.?? At least he was taking no-cussing-inside-home seriously.

Whatever, it was one movie Robbie refused to watch, he would try every time but then literally run away after ten minutes.

Robbie was walking with a babbling Lia in his hands.

??Hey baby girl... want to watch Lilo and Stitch??? She turned her face away from me. Rude!

??That should be a real big clue, Goose.??

I huffed and put on Wreck it Ralph. I cried it the first few times I saw it. It was such a heart touching movie.

Robbie gently placed my baby on my lap when I sat down. He swiped my hair back from my forehead and dropped a kiss. I leaned to his body, yearning for his warmth.

??I have some calls to make, I will be in the office. Okay, Angel??? His hands were patting on my head.

??Jason???

I noticed Jason was standing there with his mouth open.

??Are you okay??? Robbie asked when his eyes shifted between Robbie and I.

??Slave, are you okay. Jace??? I was getting worried too.

??Jesus Fudging Christ! You two... Holy shoot! I...?? He was making absolutely no sense.

??Robbie, did you torture him???

??No... If anything he was torturing me because you were avoiding him.??

Robbie pulled Jason and made him sit beside me. ??If he dies, call me, I have a video conference.?? Robbie walked away, no tone bit concerned about the mumbling mess sitting next to me.

??Jason, what is it? Is it about that favour? You know I will do anything for you, right? Though you should get me that cake with edible ribbons.??

??N... no... it is just that...?? He cleared his throat. ??If you ever need a babysitter, please let me know.??

??Uhh... okay...??

I frowned at him, he was one lost cuckoo.

??So what was the favour about???

??Oh that! If mom calls, tell her that I am not pursuing my dreams to be stripper.??

??Mom thinks you want to be a stripper??? Wow!

??Don??t ask, please, long story. If you don??t want to know about... female body parts leave it at that.??

??With pleasure.?? I shivered.

Jason was still making me worry with his constant mumbling of how stupid and blind he was. Blind about what, I had no idea.

Jason did not join us for dinner, which was a bummer. I was looking forward to make him change my baby??s dirty diaper.

We had our dinner, with baby Lia puking milk down Robbie??s T-shirt. I was worried the first time it happened. But doctor said, it was quite normal for babies her age, to have such accidents once in a while. But if she was crying and puking non-stop without drinking much milk, we were to take her to hospital.

She was healthy and active. So, this time we did not frantically call her doctor, but I did add it to my tab of My Baby??s Activities.

Robbie was standing too close to me when we did our night routines. I did not think much of it, until his hand slipped inside my shirt and squeezed my waist hard. Was he?

Soon, his hands were roaming all over me, searching for all warm spots and occasionally squeezing the flesh making me gasp.

??Robbie... We...??

Robbie??s hands were gentle but the look on his eyes was anything but. He was desperate. He was crazed with need and I knew he was going to break soon.

I loved that.

I loved him.

I took a step back, gently removing his hand. He growled and it was cute. Was this the man who begged me to go back to college? He was so silly, my Big Baby.

??Princess is tired.?? I moved completely away from him.

I took my sleeping baby off her swing, whispering to her, to have sweet dreams of beautiful angles and unicorns.
