VIOLET

As I handed the coffee to Ace he mummured some words of appreciation and firmly instructed me to sit.

"Mike good morning." Ace said in a not too friendly manner

"Ace, Violet. Good morning." Mike replied coldly as I mummered a response.

"Why'd you like lying? We're bestfriends we're not suppossed to lying to each other." Mike said staring at me, expressionless.

"I have a faint memory of them and I don't think we should use the best friend tag anymore. I think we're better off as friends." I said in one breath.

"And why is that so?" Mike asked, his eyes darting to Ace for a second.

Ace raised his head and said,"Simply because one of us has a feeling that's over friendship for the other" He stated plainly shocking Mike.

"You have a girlfriend." Ace said staring at Mike fully

"This isn't about me."

"Then why are you concerned?" I ask interrupting the incoming argument.

"You're my friend." He simply states boring holes into Ace

Ace squeezes my hand slightly and sends me an apologetic look that I didn't understand.

"Then why are you so concerned that she has someone she really loved and that she loved him to the extent of loosing her memories because of him. Why does it bother you so much?" Ace asks glaring at Mike who somewhat seems suddenly angry.

"You don't get it do you? I love you. I love you so much it drives me crazy. You consumed my entire being from the very first day on the court. Your laughter, your smile, the way you scrunch your nose in disgust anytime I make nasty remarks, the way you try not to be too girly, your perfection..." He let out a shaky breathe.

"And I know, I'm with Chloè but that doesn't stop me from loving you. I can't think straight, you're all I think about. I know I've been the shittiest person in the past few weeks but you can't blame me. Do you know how hard it is to let someone you truely love go? Its so fucking hard. But you can't understand." He said followed by a humourless laughter.

"I just wish you could understand. Having Chloè was just a distraction to get my mind off the fact that you'd never want me. You'd never see me as nothing but a best friend and I'm honestly tired of that role. I want more but it hurts because..."

He paused for a moment and drew a long shaky breath,"Just forget I said all this."

"Do you know what love is?" Ace asked with an unreadable expression.

"I don't think I do." Mike said in defeat as his shoulders slumped to his sides in defeat.

"Love is letting go even when it hurts the most. Love is seeing her happy with another guy, as long as she's happy. Love is respecting her wishes every single time even when it hurts you. Love is being there even when the world is caving in. That's love." Ace said moving to Mike as they shared a brotherly hug.

"Didn't even get a say in all this." I with a small laugh trying to kill the building tension in the kitchen.

"Bitch!" A pained voice said as we all stared at each other in shock.

We looked around and saw nothing until Ace's phone rung.

After talking for over five minutes with a blank expression, Ace finally drops his phone and startes at us in shock.

"Hope its not what I'm thinking? Oh my gawd. Ace-" I gushed out as I reached out to give him a big hug.

"Thanks for the free hug Lettuce." Ace said making me burn in embarrassment as I remembered our kiss the night before.

"You have a bitch for a girlfriend." Ace said in amusement looking directly at Mike.

"Ughhhh... no more arguements pleasee." I screamed in frustration.

"The girl... Charity or whatever her name is, she was live with Mike on instagram just now. She heard all your confessions." Ace said stressing the confessions.

"What the bloody hell." Mike said as his face becomes very pale.

"I know right, such a bitc-"

"See you guys later. I have to make some things clear. I'm very sure my instagram and snap will be very offensive to look at for weeks." Mike said cutting Ace off and brushing past us as he leaves in a hurry.

Ace and I exchanges a confused look as we shurg it off and look each other in the eyes for the first time since last night.

"I suggest we keeps our hands to ourselves." Ace said immediately making me burst into laughter.

"What's funny?" He asked with one eyebrow raised making him look more handsome that he originally is.

"I'm being serious Vio. I'd like us to be good friends till you know... Queen." He said with all iota of seriousness.

"Oh... yeah, yeah. I totally get it. I'll be the best friend I can be until then." I said with obvious false enthusiasim.

"You know we can't go on kissing without a definite label on what we're doing. That's just going to complicate issues when Queen leaves because I have a very strong feeling I might push everyone away when Queen goes and I don't want to lose you... okay?" He asked bringing his hand to my cheek as I instinctively covered his hand with mine.

"Its fine. I understand where you're coming from. I wouldn't want to lose you as a friend either, as a bestfriend." I told him slightly squeezing his hand for a bit of comfort.

"There's so much I want to tell you." Ace said  randomly.

"I'm all ears bestie." I snuggled closer and widen my eyes in expectation making him laugh heartyly.

"I really don't know what I'd do without you." He said with a sigh as he placed a brotherly kiss on my fore head.

No matter how brotherly he might have wanted that kiss to be, I was secretly hoping it was more than a brotherly forhead kiss.

And suddenly a comfortable silence made its way to us.

After a few minutes of cuddling and some disturbing sighs from Ace, he finally speaks up.

"I don't want her to leave me. I wish I could stop the time and spend more time with her. She's my sister and I love her so much." Ace snuffled.

I gasped and broke out of our intimate cuddle and looked into his eyes. His eyes were misty and he had a dark expression.

Those mesmerizing eyes that made my heart skip multiple beats, those eyes that read my soul over and over again, those mysterious eyes that I want on me forever.

I straddled him with my right hand on his left cheek as I rubbed his skin softly.
"Its going to be fine just remember that I'll always be here for you even when you don't want me. Just count on me." I said suddenly feeling cold.

"Thanks for the re-assurance Vio. I really am going to be needing it." He said brushing some strands of hair out of my face. As he reached for my cheek while his eyes bore holes into my soul, my whole being.

Our faces came nearer and nearer until he planted his lips on mine slowly and softly. I could feel our hearts beat in synch as his lips did wonders to me. I instinctively latched my hands to his neck making him hold me by my waist causing sparks to ignite from my body.

His lips left mine making me feel empty and craving for more but my hunger was immediately replaced with pleasure as I felt his lips on the spot connecting my neck to my shoulder.

And gawddd never have I ever experienced this pleasure that I was recieving for my best friend. He placed sweet, soft and gentle kisses from my neck to my jaw making me shudder in excitement as my eyes rolled back on its own accord.

"Fuck! Vio." He said, his voice sounding deeper that it originally is.

"You don't know what you've been doing to me lately." He said kissing the side of my lips as I let out a little moan.

I broke away and looked at him with confusion in my eyes as I tried to figure out the sudden feeling that has overwhelmed me.

"I know we're not suppossed to be doing this. I'm sorry for the kiss. We're supposed to be strictly friends. Sorry for forcing-"

"Just stop please." I said as I closed my eyes shut. Trying to unhear what I just heard.

"Its fine. Just friends." I said as I hurriedly moved out of his warm embrace feeling empty.

"That's not what I mean Violet. I'm sorry for kiss-"

"No need to apologise." I said firmly.
"Lets go shopping for Queen and forget this." I say and he nods positively.

I turned back tears pooling in my eyes because I didn't want to hear anything else he had to say. That's if he could come up with anything more painful.

He was really going to apologise for the kiss.
The moment we shared.
