Eyes that hold her world

Sias pov

There was a bright light coming from somewhere and its making my eye itch. I don want to open my eyes but the bright light is too much to tolerate.

Somebody, please turn it off. Im sleeping so peacefully here. Don wanna ever wake up. I smile and snuggle closer to the pillow.

Wait. what?!

I opened my eyes and jumped off Ace. I forgot that we were on the couch I landed on my butt. ”ouch. ouch. ouch, ” I completely forgot about my injuries.

I looked at Ace who was looking at me confused. His hair was tousled. His eyes were slightly red. His lips are so…okay don go there.

”Hey, are you okay? ” He asked. I couldn meet his eyes. I slept with him.

The words registered in my head. I slept with him for a whole night. I SLEPT for a whole night without having any nightmares.

I looked at him and nodded. He was looking shocked too. Like he realized something. Maybe he realized that we cuddled together.

Or he realized that he cuddled with me when his girlfriend is in the room down the hall. I realized he has a girlfriend. How can I let myself come between both of them?

She was here to spend some time with him. And I slept with him while watching a movie. I clearly remember the way we laugh at each other snarky comments.

”Im fine, ” I told him and tried to get up. Ace was about to help me when nick entered the living room.

”Oh my God sia what happened to you. ” Nicks panicked voice traveled through the house. I smiled at him.

”Nothing nick I just slipped and got a bit injured. ” He helped me stand up. He was shaking his head. I know I probably look like a wreck.

”We hurt your ankle real bad. ” Ace told me looking down at my ankle which has swollen more. I can feel a slight pain has started formulating there since Im standing on my feet.

”Nah. Its good. Its better thanks to you. ” I smiled at him.

”Its nothing ” he grinned at me. His mischievous eyes making me think about what hes thinking. Maybe something about last nights bickering.

”Wait. You guys slept together. ” Nick asked me. ”Wait. Wait Alessia you slept. ” I know what he is referring to.

”Hey, can you help me to my room? I need to get ready for work. ” I changed the topic.

”You
e not going to work. You can even stand without support. ” Ace scolded me. It felt like we never fought that night. Like we didn ignore each other for the last week.

”I can walk just fi- ” he didn let me complete.

”I said no. I have seen your leg. So when I say you can you really can . Nick is going to call the authorities to inform about your health. ” He warned me again.

For some reason, I couldn fight with him. I just stare at him and nodded. Maybe because Im too tired and injured.

”I think you should ask them if they can arrange the online class since I have only one class, ” I asked. Nick, nodded.

He took a hold of my hand and placed another around his neck and started walking but not before giving Ace a meaningful stare which I obviously couldn understand.

Its funny how I call him Ace in my mind and Alex in front of him. I smiled to myself but as I was passing by his room I realized that his girlfriend is in the room. My smile quickly disappeared.

”I know its a lot to take in. ” Nick started. Did he read my mind. ” the last time you slept without having a nightmare or panic attack was so long ” he settled me on the bed.

Then it all came back. I slept after five years. I slept without any disturbance. I slept like a baby in Aces arms. I never realize that until he told me.

”I know. Its okay. Just take your time. Everything gonna is fine. ” I realize he misunderstood my lack of response as my weakness.

Yeah, I don know how to respond. I have tried sleeping so many times after that month. But I failed. I couldn sleep without nightmares then I stopped sleeping all together to escape from those awful images.

But last night I fell asleep without even trying. Maybe it was the comfort in Aces arms. I shook my head. No, it was because of the sedative those painkillers took. I know that is probably what it is.

”Its Im at nick you don have to worry. Im fine. The sedative in the painkillers I took helped me sleep I guess. ” He purses his lips as if stopping from saying anything. But nodded at last.

”And please don mention any of these to Sarah. She will go berserk. ” I warned him. He is such a guy. He tells her everything.

” I don tell her everything. ” Retried to deny and turned all resin embarrassment.

”you do too. How else did and know that I sang in the restaurant last week. ” I laughed at him.

”Haww sia. I didn tell her anything about your performance. She got to know through my Instagram post. ” He said wait.

”You took my picture and posted it. ” I glared at him.

”I swear its only one click. I couldn help myself. The picture was perfect ” he raises his arms in his defense.

”Fine. But you better show me those pictures. And any pictures before you pat them. I want to look good. ” I pointed my finger at him

”As you wish great Alessia. ” He mocked and laughed.

I rolled my eyes at him. He has been calling me that forever. My stomach growled at the same time and he laughed harder.

”Go send someone with breakfast. Im hungry ” I shoved him.

”When aren you? ” He asked laughing I threw a pillow at him which he dodged.

”Okay, Im going. You go and take shower. If you need any help ring the phone Ill send someone to help you. ” I smiled at him.

I slowly walked towards the bathroom and started the water. After getting rid of my dirty clothes went under the hurt shower and sighed.

Its not even been a week properly and Ace has affected my life so much. No matter how much I deny or ignore but deep down I knew for a fact that there is something between us.

No matter how much we try to ignore each other we pull in like a magnet and iron. But there are somethings in the universe that are not supposed to happen.

Like Ace and I. We are not supposed to happen. Its clear. He is so different from me. His life is so different from mine.

He is a good person I agree with that. Otherwise, after I treated him the way I did nobody would have made the effort to help me the way he did last night.

But still, there is no possibility of a ”us ”. He has a girlfriend. And Im too broken for him. I don think anyone can ever glue me together.

So no Ace and I are not happening. What Im I even thinking. He probably sees me as his friend. He has a girlfriend so there is no us.

But that stung. Like something slowly squeezing my heart when I think about the possibility of them but not us.

I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts. I dried myself and put on an oversized white shirt over my black lacy underwear. It comes to my upper thigh. Since Im not going out of this room Im only going to wear something comfy and chill.

I was towel denying my hair when I heard a knock on my door. I thought nick must have sent someone with my breakfast so I said a come in.

But when I was putting the towel on the hamper I heard a sharp intake of breath. Its a male for sure. When I turn around I saw the last person I expected to see here in my room.

Ace…..
