Touching the Heart of Ace novel Chapter 47

??You don??t tell me anything!?? I shouted.

??Angel, it is not your...??

??I get it; I don??t get to say anything to you. What do you want from me anyways!??

Sex! That was what I was good for. Robbie did not think I was good for anything else. He bugged me again to hire a nanny. I was working too hard by changing her diapers; God! He drove me crazy.

I wanted to cry so bad.

Damn it, Ace! Stop meddling into things that do not concern you.

Stupid heart for loving this stupid idiot jackass of a man!

He did not want me to know; why did it hurt so much?

??I am not in any financial crisis.??

??K!??

??You have nothing to worry.??

??Fine.??

I stomped to my class room, locked the door and dialled Liam.

??Yo, Man! Uhh what did I do???

??What? Now I cannot call you, just because I had free time! Jeez!??

??You do know that I??mma not the guy who peed on you, right? It was yo baby, not dis nigga.??

I snorted, accidently chuckling. ??I am not angry at you, Liam. Just...??

??Family???

I wished it was true. ??Yeah.??

I taught Liam, basic computer science and physics. His English improved considerably, and I tried very hard not to laugh at how his teacher made him sit on his knees for saying ??shit??.??

??Stop saying shit you little shit if you still want to shit through your shithole?? was the exact words. He asked if I could afford a therapy session for him and we had a good laugh.

I thought I would be okay after that, but I hated how much it affected me. I did my whole assignment on economics, that was how disturbed I was.

Robbie picked me up the moment I was out of the classroom.

??I am not in the mood, Robbie.??

??I can change that.??

??No.??

??I love challenges.??

I did not give any emotions when he tried his best to get a reaction out of me. He sighed finally letting my feet touch the floor.

??Babe, I am not in any kind of financial crisis.??

??Do I look like I care anymore? I don??t want to know, I asked you and you asked me to mind my own business.??

??What! I never tell you to mind your own business!??

??Well, you told me it was not something for me to worry about.??

??Yeah, and you heard it as ??mind your own business????? He groaned. ??I tell that to Jason and he hears ??ooh, I need you to butt in my life every day and make me miserable, please??. You guys are real brothers.??

I opened the fridge and put my head in because I did not want to smile. But Robbie was right, the amount of ??none of your business?? Robbie threw at him was countless. It was even more funny when Jason said ??Oh, I love you too, Dipstick.?? Not joking! It really happened.

I schooled my face when I turned around to him. ??Come here, love.??

I did not bother to acknowledge that and I went to my bedroom with a lot more force to my feet than necessary.

??Love.?? He followed me trying to hug me from behind. He pulled me to the bed and tucked me under his body.

??Robbie...??

??Look at me.??

??What??? I was not amused.

He had a beautiful smile. And I had never seen his eyes sparkle like this before moving here. He loved this house so much I guessed.

??I have money.??

I turned around; staring at the wall. He did not have to lie, I heard it when he talked to someone about how he had invested in a bad business and he lost a huge chunk of money. Why was he lying to me? I had money too, I told him that. My money from the codes, the savings account I barely touched except for Liam, several matured bonds from both of my parents... I... wanted to help. Was I a stranger? I fucking lived here with him, I watched over his baby like a guard dog.

I loved her, I loved him!

Robbie fucking smiled when I told him that I could help if he was stranded. Did he not think that it would hurt me, if he pretended to be okay without telling me his problems?

He groaned and let me go. When he left the room I had this immense pain in my chest. But I was thankful I did not cry, because he came back holding his laptop. He gave it to me and asked me to enter the 14-digit password he recited.

??What is it???

??One of my accounts. That is the balance at the top. Now, do I have money???

I nodded.

??I can??t hear you, Kitten.??

Bastard! ??You have money. You are freaking rich. Happy? You could have just told me.??

??I did! You did not listen.??

I huffed and closed the laptop. He rolled me back under him when I placed it on the night stand.

??What??? I asked when he continued to stare at with googly eyes.

He leaned down and kissed me with so much emotion. That emotion had no name. I refused to believe it was closely related to love.

What was the word that described us? Fuck buddies. Yeah.

??Thank you, my precious love.?? He whispered to my ears.

??For what???

??You were ready to give me your assets because you were worried.??

I felt something cold on my chin. The angel clasp of the chain I had gifted him.

??I don??t give you anything.??

??You give me plenty. And that is enough. I am capable of looking after you and our Princess. This is only one of accounts, Angel.??

??I heard you talking.??

??I figured. I have changed some of my accounts and I transferred almost all of it to somewhere safe. I want it to keep a secret. The rest I am linking it to you and Amelia. I cannot take risks.??

??Robbie are you scared???

He froze, completely stilled without even breathing. His eyes drilled into mine. ??Sometimes, then I see you two together and I feel invincible.??

??Will you tell me if you cannot bear it alone???

??Angel... it is...??

??Please.?? I blinked at him, I really did not want him to suffer alone.

??I will. Only if I cannot manage without you. So, are you happy, now???

I could not reply because a pain was pushing on my throat, and Robbie was so lost in my eyes.

He leaned down slowly closing his eyes.
