Ace Roberts POV
At Bar
"Hey man. How are you? Long time no see" Nathan my best friend asked me..
I smiled at him..
"Yeah, buddy. It is a long time. Anyway, I am good how are you?" I asked him back..
"I am good too man. So, how is your company going?" He asked me..
"Good. I had a meeting with Alina today" I told him and sip my wine...
"Buddy, Don't tell me. You fell for that bitch. I just hate her" Nathan told me making a face...
I chucked at him and speak up," Do not worry man. I am not the old Ace, who use to fell for the wrong girl. Alina was of my one night stand nothing else"
Nathan looked at me hearing this and speaks up," Buddy, you used to hate this one-night stand. You used to say you will only love a girl. Forget that past buddy"
Hearing him I stop sipping my wine and looked at him...
"I used to hate many things, Nathan. But those things I used to hate already happened to me. She changed everything. Her betrayal was enough to show the face of girls. They just love money nothing else. Just because you got your true love you can not claim that every person get it"
Hearing this he sighed and starts sipping his wine...
"When you are planning to go New York?" I asked him..
"Tomorrow. Your sister already threatened me if I will not go tomorrow, she will break up with me" Nathan told me and I smiled at him..
Yeah my sister Caroline and Nathan are going to marry next month...
"Will you go this time?" He asked me..
"Yeah. I will go this time. It is time to take over our company. I will go with you tomorrow" I told him...
"Coro, will be very happy. Now let's go it is already 12 at night. Let's go home" Nathan told me..
"No. You go. I have some work" I told him..
"Work? Do you think I am mad? I know you are going to pick a girl from here" Nathan told me..
I smirked at him and looked towards the girls who are looking at me since I entered the bar..
Nathan shook his head and left from bar..
As soon he left a girl approaches Ace with a glass of wine...
"Hey hoti, want to spend some time alone," She told me seductively..
I smirked at her and took the glass of wine. Then drank it in a go.
"Sure, why not," I told and dragged her outside...
And the other hand
In New York
"Are you serious, Caroline? Is he going to come here this time?" Bella asked Caroline excitingly like a kid...
Caroline smiled at her best friend and speaks up," Yeah. He is coming. He will come with Nathan tomorrow. Will you come with me to receive them from the airport?"
Bella got nervous hearing this. She starts biting her lower lip. It is her childhood habit. Whenever she gets nervous or sad she starts biting her lip..
Seeing her biting lips Caroline smiled and speaks up," Hey, do not need to worry. My brother will not eat you up. And if you are nervous then you do not need to come. You can meet him at birthday party only"
Hearing this Bella looked at her while still biting her lip..
"No. I want to come. I want to see him. And most importantly I do not want to give some stupid girl to think he is single" Bella speaks up in her innocent yet possessive tone..
Hearing this Caroline starts laughing and Bella looked at her confusingly..
"Why you are laughing?" Bella asked her..
"Nothing. I just remembered how you act when my brother first went on date with Katrina. You spoiled their first date" Caroline told her..
Bella just blushed hard remembering that..
"Okay. Lover girl. I will pick up you at 8. Be ready" Caroline told her and get in her car then drive away..
Bella entered her home and found her mom sitting on her dad's lap talking with each other happily..
Bella smiled looking at them and went upstairs..
Entering her room Bella sits on her bed and starts thinking about that day Ace went on his first date with that bad girl and how she spoiled it...
10 Years Ago
"Angelina when Ace will come? I will show him my painting?" Ten years old Bella asked her older sister Angelina...
Angelina and Ace are best friends. Though Angelina is few years older than Ace still they are best friends. Ace likes to spend Angelina. He sees her like his older sister...
Angelina looked at her cute sister and speaks up," Bella, he will not come here today sweetheart"
Hearing this Bella pouted sadly and speaks up," Why? Is he angry with me?"
Angelina made Bella sits beside her and speaks up softly," No dear. He is not angry with you"
"Then why he will not come today?" Bella asked her again..
"He has a date tonight dear. Maybe he just comes here to give me some notes or maybe not. I am not sure" Angelina told her...
"Date? What is date?" Bella asked her innocently...
"Date means he is going to spend some time with a girl. They will eat together and no that's all" Angelina told her feeling awkward...
"Then I want to go on a date too. I want to go the same place he will go" Little Bella told her. She Bella did not understand what is date but she just understood that Ace is going outside with a girl. And it is enough for her..
Hearing her Angelina smiled and starts caressing her hair..
"Sweetheart when you will become big you can go on a date. But not now" Angelina told her..
"No. Why I can not go. You just said date means just spend some time and eat together. So, I want to go" Bella told her..
"But sweetheart, you need a boy to go on a date" Angelina tried to convince her..
"Then ask Ace to take me with him to. I want to go with him" Bella told her..
Hearing this Angelina got shocked..
"Sweetheart, you can not go with them," Angelina told her..
"No. I will go. You tell him to take me with him too. I will not disturb him" Bella told him...
Angelina about to say something but she saw Ace is there standing near the door of her room..
"Sis, please tell him. I want to go with him" Bella said again..
Angelina looked at Ace and speaks up," Will you take her with you?"
Hearing this Bella got shocked. She turned towards Ace and looked down immediately..
Ace looked at her and speaks up," Get ready quickly"
Hearing this Bella hugged him tightly then kissed his cheek and ran out..
Ace got embarrassed. He just handover the notes to Angelina and left her room quickly..
Bella soon gets ready and comes downstairs...
"Be careful dear" Angelina told them...
Bella nodded at her and ran out towards Ace's car and sits in the front seat...
Ace about to enter his car, he saw Bella is sitting in the front seat...
"Go to the back seat" Ace told him...
"Why? I like the seat" Bella told him and put the belt..
Ace looked at her and speaks up," Katrina will sit here. Bella go to the back seat"
"No. I won't. And she can seat on the back seat" Bella told him...
Ace sighed and entered his car and starts driving...
After an hour he stops the car and gets down.
Bella looked at Ace and found him coming with a girl. She is wearing a short dress and a lot of make-up on her face...
Seeing her Bella looked down at her dress and speaks up," My dress is better than her. She has worn her childhood dress. That's why the dress is too short.
Ace led the car to his car and opened the back door for her but Katrina looked towards the front side and speaks up," I did not know you will bring your sister on our first date"
Before Ace says something, Bella speaks up," I am not his sister. I am Bella"
Katrina looked at Bella and Ace closed his eyes...
"I made a mistake to bring her" Ace mutters under his breath...
"Don't worry. She is the most innocent girl" Ace told her.
Katrina nodded at him and sits in the back seat.
"She is the most innocent girl but only in front of her family" Ace complete his sentence and entered his car then starts driving...
Bella looked at Katrina and saw she is doing her make-up again. Then she starts searching for something inside her bag...
"Did you forget something?" Ace asked Katrina..
"Yeah. I forgot to take my red lipstick, baby" Katrina told him...
Bella rolled her eyes when she said, baby...
She took her red color paintbrush towards Katrina and speaks up," Take it. My dad brought it from London. And it is better than your so-called lipstick. And if you want I have all color you can do make-up with this"
Hearing this Ace's eyes went widen. Katrina looked at Bella with shock...
"People do not use print on face kid. And when is your sleeping time?" Katrina asked her gritting her teeth...
"You are doing make-up again and again so I told you. And we are going to eat so what you are going to do your lipstick. You will need a box of tissues to wipe them. And my sleep time is after than you" Bella told her and looked towards Ace who is trying to control his laughing...
At Hotel
Katrina was trying to talk with Ace but whenever she opened her mouth Bella speaks up...
Being so irritated, Katrina got quiet and looked at Bella who is painting her dairy and Ace is helping him...
Not able to control herself Katrina speaks up," When you not going to do anything with me then there is no meaning of this date. I am going" Katrina told him thinking that Ace stop her...
"Is it your bedtime? Then go and sleep. Goodnight" Bella told her.
Ace looked at Katrina and speaks up," You can go"
Katrina looked at Bella angrily. But who cares about his anger. Bella is doing her painting so carefully...
Katrina took her bag and left from there...
"When is your bedtime?" Ace asked him..
"At 11" Bella told him and Ace smiled at her...
