Touching the Heart of Ace

Chapter 82

As he had ordered me I stayed on my bed until it was 10 a.m though I was wide awake at 8 a.m. I

simply bunched up my pillows and blankets, and wiggled and rolled around for two hours before

skipping downstairs singing songs and dancing around.

"Daddy?!" I ran to the man who was leaning on the stair rails smiling amusingly at my off key singing

and awesome twerking. "Why are you here? Did you skip office again?"

I booped his nose before letting him twirl me.

Daddy had already skipped a day last week. Told me he missed being with me and we cuddled on the

sofa watching movies until he suggested shopping.

So that was what we did.

Simply roaming around the city, holding hands and pecking each other whenever we felt like without a

care.

We had missed our Little Baby so much whenever we saw some adorable stuff she liked. So we picked

up our Little Baby early and we continued our roaming around until Lia tired herself out.

Then that fucking bitch had to come and...

Whatever.

"Get ready. We are going out." Robbie squeezed my butt and pushed me to closet.

"We are? Are we going shopping? What should I wear? Are we getting Lia? Why has her Grampa

picked her up so early? She was out of my bedroom after kissing me so fast I could not ask Uncle

Fred? Is she staying with them after school? About school; she is going to start preschool so soon. I

am not ready, Daddy. Are you ready? She is still a baby. Oh! Should I wear this? Where are we going?

This fine? Oh, what about this? You should not skip too often. Then Lia would not go to school. Then

she will skip..."

He took the hangers of my hands before pulling me to him for a kiss on my cheek.

"I changed my mind. Let us stay in bed."

"Ah! You perv. Let go. Where are you taking me?"

"It is a surprise."

"I love your surprises. Let us go now. What should I wear? Formal, normal? Casual?" I went through

my clothes again before picking up jeans. "This fine, Daddy?"

"Dress up and wear your make-up too..."

I frowned. "Are we going clubbing this early in the morning?" He knew I wore make up only for clubbing

or on very special occasions. I had stopped wearing it regularly after the divorce and most of the

paparazzi left me alone.

Whaaat? I wanted to look good next to my handsome man.

He picked up one of my new attires which I didn't get a formal invite to wear yet. I was hoping to wear

them on Gabe's fashion show at Milan.

"Wow! We are going somewhere very fancy. Now I wanna know." I pouted knowing well that he would

not budge.

He gently spanked my bum before demanding me to get changed.

Meanie!

I did my eyes like the way he liked it and applied my nude lip balm. He kneeled in front of me and got

me into my fancy studded shoes. He stood up before pecking my knee and asked me if I was ready.

"Am I?" I turned around for his inspection and asked him if I should set my hair.

"Let them flow. You love them that way."

I nodded smiling. My hair would not listen to me or stay put but I loved them fluffy and soft.

"Come on, Pretty. Let us go."

"Okay Daddy." I hugged his hand with both of mine and skipped along.

He sniffed my hair before opening the car door for me. Nick gave me teasing salute before getting in.

"So, Nick, where are we going?"

"Nice try, kid. Nice try."

I cheekily smiled at him before cuddling up with my man.

"Are we going far away?"

"A bit." Robbie pecked my forehead and I pouted.

"Aw! Lia would have loved an outing."

"She would. But we could take her next time."

"Okay, Daddy."

I lied on his chest and took in the changing sceneries. My eyes taking in all the greeneries that were

thickening minute by minute.

"Look at those trees, Robbie. We don't have much trees back at home."

"I know, sweetheart."

"Are we there yet?" I could not wait to get down and walk through these mini jungles.

"Not yet, Kitten." He squeezed me to him and I smiled.

A prefect way to annoy my man.

"Don't even think of it, you little trouble."

"Whaat? I didn't even say anything."

Bummer.

So I just kissed his chin before behaving myself. "Is my kitten sleepy?"

"No... I slept like a baby last night."

"Good, you should."

I smiled before going back to enjoying the nature.

About couple of hours of travelling, Nick announced we were there.

"Where actually? Are we meeting your new client here?" We were both dressed up formally, though

Nick was in his T-shirt and jeans.

So, whatever this deal was, Nick was sitting this out.

"This way, Angel."

"Ah! Are we in a botanical garden? Look at that rose. So pretty."

The whole place kind of looked they were shut down. There were no signs or employees.

"Please tell me you did not reserve this botanical garden for our outing."

"No... I am not that bad, Angel."

I rolled my mental eyes; the man had done it before. Well, that was before... way before and he was

now okay with other people around us while on our date.

"Aren't we a bit over dressed to have a park date?" I teased.

"Come along, you adorable curious Kitten."

I giggled and held his hand. "The place is so pretty. Lia would have loved the flowers."

This place was so gorgeous. There were trees everywhere and the whole place was just a big garden-

orchard combo.

"Is that an apple tree?"

"Yes."

Oh, there was pear too. "I love fruit trees."

Robbie smiled.

"Daddy look..." I ran along the tarred road along the orchard and patted on the tree that was in the

middle. "This is the tree I talked to you about. Remember? Its flowers are so tiny but they have this kind

of small leaves around the flowers. What are they called? Bracts? They are green and they smell so

divine. God! They are like very mild but distinguishing smell... you know... and if a wind blows the smell

will travel miles. Not kidding. So mild, yet so powerful. The perfume I got for you this birthday... This is

its base tone. Ah! I love it. I am sad it is not its flowering season."

I pouted.

"You will have to take in deep breaths of air to get that smell but that makes it even more divine,

Daddy."

I leaned to its bark and waited for my brain to get that unique heavenly smell. I smiled when I got a

small whiff.

"It is awesome."

Robbie nodded and pulled me along.

"Ah! Look... Java Apples!!! Ah!"

The whole tree was covered in pretty red and pink juicy fruits that literally made my mouth water. "They

are exotic. What are they doing here?" I was jealous. "I want one, Daddy."

"Then pluck one."

"Are you kidding me? We can't." I pouted. "Someone cares for them, we can't just..." I swallowed my

saliva and pouted again.

"No one will know."

"Still not right." I looked around to see if anyone was watching us.

Robbie sighed and leaned up and plucked a red juicy one and gave it to me.

"Daddy! We can't."

"You want it or not?"

I gulped another mouthful of saliva. "Oh God. What if they have cctv? Oh God. What if..."

"Baby..."

"Oh God..."

"Ace!"

"What if someone is..." I looked left and right... "Oh God."

"Eat!"

I quickly took the juicy fruit, breaking it in half and threw the seeds away and stuffed the both halves in

my mouth in one go.

I freaking moaned and squeezed my eyes shut, savouring the awesome sour and sweet juices that

burst into my mouth each bite. I was hiding my face in Daddy's chest and if someone saw me now, they

would think that I was perversely slurping on Daddy's nipples. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Better than getting caught with a stolen fruit.

Daddy was rubbing my back with a gentle and affectionate smile. He dipped his head and kissed my

lips that was wet with the remnants of fruit juices.

"You are so fucking adorable."

"Exactly why I can't go to jail." I pinched his arm as he guffawed.

I smiled though and wiped my lips and his, before taking his hand and throwing it around my shoulder.

"This place is paradise. I don't want to leave." Robbie's step faltered and I laughed. "I will come back

home, you adorable pussy cat. Don't worry."

I could not believe even after all this he was worried that I would leave him for anything.

I shook my head. "I am sad that Lia does not get to see this. When are we coming back?"

"Soon, Angel... Lia will..."

"Daddy look!!! Aww they are locked... Are they locked? Why are they locked?"

Robbie gently jiggled the lock and it opened up like magic. "Ah! It is not locked. Look Daddy, it is a

maze! Mom's home had one, you remember?" I blushed when his eyes met mine.

Of course he remembered. The maze was our... getaway to heaven when he stayed at my home. How

many times had we...?

I pushed him away when the bastard leaned to me with naughtiness in his eyes.

"Not this maze."

"You sure?"

"Go away, perv." Yet, I pulled him to me and we looked around the maze without getting in. "It says

there is a water fountain in the middle. Oh! I want to get in. Can we get in before we leave?"

"Of course we can. We can go in if..."

"DADDY LOOK!!! Oh Lia missed it. She needs to be here. Daddy up, up! Now Daddy." Robbie smiled

before holding my waist so I could climb up the edge of an inclined beam. I loved walking on places like

this. "Daddy don't let go."

He chuckled. "I won't, baby."

I held tightly on his hand and cautiously stood up before started walking. "Oh God.... This is so

awesome."

When I was at the end, Daddy stood in front of me, so he could give me a piggy ride.

I giggled and let him carry me around before I jumped down seeing a Koi pond. I loved Koi ponds.

"ROBBIE!" I ran to the ponds and there was a small pond where we could immerse our feet in. I looked

down to my shiny new shoes and pouted. "We better come back here with Lia."

"I promise, Baby... Oh, not that way Angel, this way..."

He pulled on my hand when I turned right and I followed. "So who are we going to meet here?"

"Someone very important to me..."

"Oh! So we can come here again."

"Yes we can."

This whole place was heaven.

I saw Jasmine bushes, my favourite roses and whatnot. I could not wait to come here again and we

hadn't left yet.

I cuddled to my Robbie's chest and walked around this rich forest park with fresh air. "Is that a swing?

Robbie push me!"

He laughed and pushed me on the swing till I was content. Then he turned me around to his chest and

we walked awkwardly with me giggling and walking backwards.

"Ah... I love it so much here... This park is so beautiful and Lia needs to come here... wha... Whaaa?"

I closed my eyes and opened them seeing a gorgeous humongous building... no... a home in front of

me...

I gulped and felt it in my bones.

I should have... surprise filled my eyes...

"Daddy?"

I knew this teasing smile.

No.

No.

No.

No way!

I looked back to the house that was there, this whole time only hidden by these many trees and...

I took in the cold stone steps that led to this gorgeous marble house. It was white with golden rims and

grey foundation.

My hands touched the cold pillars and I could not ignore the way it touched like mine.

"Please tell me..."

"I will tell you whatever you want." Robbie knelt down in front of me and took off my shoes and then his.

He kissed my cheeks and pushed me... "Go in."

My fingers dragged through the wall and I sniffled.

My heart skipped a bit when the wall that welcomed me in was adorned with a huge portrayal of my

mom and dad sitting on a sofa, holding hands.

"This was left to me in her will." Daddy whispered to me and I nodded. "I thought you might like it."

Like it? I loved it.

My fingers brushed on it with reverence.

I chuckled seeing the huge chandelier that I had once told Robbie that I liked. "Where did you find it?"

He winked.

I shook my head seeing the cloud chair I told him that I wanted when we stayed in Levi's Palazzo. "You

got them."

"Of course I got them. Are the stairs up to your mark?"

I laughed and sniffled before nodding.

The grey stairs were padded and not at all steep. I knew it without climbing on it that it would feel like

walking on them. They were perfect. They needed carpets though.

May be red? Or should I go rustic and opt green?

"Love it?"

"Very much." I nodded.

"I am glad."

The kitchen was right out of my dream and child proof. I chuckled seeing a small play-cooking station

just for Lia.

"You are crazy, Robbie."

"I am... So crazy." He kissed me so gently that I was soon crying.

"Why do you always cry when you are happy?"

"I don't know! Because you are a meanie."

He laughed before kissing me again and showed me around.

This place needed filling up. It was like he had gotten everything I had told him that I like and he was at

lose at everywhere else.

"Wanna see our bedroom?"

"Yes please..."

He covered my eyes before taking me up the stairs. I was excited and smiling so big.

"Welcome to your dungeon."

I giggled and opened my eyes, only to see a Brobdingnagian room with a generic big bed in the middle.

"I have no idea how to do this." Big Baby told me truthfully.

I laughed before slapping his chest.

"You are going to be here. So I wanted it completely your way."

Aw. He was so precious.

"Was that the surprise?" I flicked his chin, smiling at my adorable goof ball.

"Oh no. Surprise is this." He gently slid the curtain to the side and the smile froze on my face. "I had

promised I would."

The window of our bedroom opened to a bed of chrysanthemums.

Yes, he had promised.

When I was not believing that he loved me. That his promises of building me a home were just words.

"You can't get there through this room because I don't want you to leave me the first thing in the

morning to be with them."

I gave out a watery chuckle.

I followed him in trance where he had opened another room at the end of the hall. I had to walk a good

distance to reach the chrysanthemum beds.

"I can catch up to you by then." Robbie was not at all apologetic.

I laughed and pecked his lips.

"I have another surprise for you."

I shook my head and followed him again.

"We actually came in through the back gate. I know you would love to see the orchard and the surprise

will be spoiled if you saw the house first."

I dropped my head on his shoulder and he took me downstairs and then I understood why had pulled

me left when I had turned right.

"This is how we actually come in." I could see the main gate at far and our long driveway with beautiful

garden on either sides and fountain in the middle.

We were actually trudging along the sides of the house after my swinging, that was why I did not notice

the fountain when I climbed up the steps the first time.

The swing, the koi pond and the inclined beam that I climbed on where on the left side of this house

and it was hidden beautifully by the mini jungle.

On the right side was...

"Surprise"

It was a beautiful garden only filled with white flowers and my Aunt Marie's statue was hoisted on a

podium.

"You did not like that you had no place to talk to her, unlike your mom. So I thought... And you really

liked that statue but Marie wanted the scarf covering her neck, so you did not approve this at our

company. So... Do you like it? You told me that she liked white flowers... So... Do you like it?"

I touched Aunt Marie's cheek. The podium had a glass chamber that held her urn. I thought I had lost it

in the sea when I...

It was here.

"Thank you. Thank you so much, Robbie..."

"Hey, hey... Don't thank me! You don't thank me for this okay? You don't get to leave this place. So do

you like it?"

I laughed and I nodded.

"Very much. Thank ... Bastard."

"I love you baby."

"I love you Daddy."

He hugged me to his chest and my nose squished over his heart. I gave him a hard bite and he

jumped. "Owww!!!"

"I stole a Java apple, from me because of you!!!"

"What? Ohhh!!! That you did. God you are so adorable. You imp." He laughed and squished me.

I giggled and pecked where I had bitten him.

So, the right side was bit more open with less trees than the left side, which was nice. Lia could run

around all she wanted without bumping to trees.

"There is a family living over there... Philip and his wife. He was in the army and took voluntary

retirement four years ago. Nick did a background check. There is a public playground over there...

and... Angel, there is a public library a mile from here and they do deliveries... So if you like to stock up

our now empty library..."

I closed my eyes and listened to the rumble of his chest.

This man himself was my home.

But...

This was a pleasant surprise too.

Robbie got me a home.

Just mine!
