I blushed as I tried to look away. Ace wrapped his arms around my back and pulled me close into a tight embrace. His warmth and his familiar scent surrounded me and made me feel secure and safe. My arms moved to hug him in return without a second thought like an automatic reaction. I closed my eyes and enjoyed his loving embrace while I tried to wrap my mind around the fact that I am Ace’s girlfriend now.
With all that talks of marriage, does that mean that soon I’ll be his fiancée?
I clenched my eyes tightly shut before shaking my head softly from side to side. Now’s not the time to be thinking about that. Step by step…
“Rina…” Ace murmured my name tenderly before his lips started teasing mine.
