Chapter 43 Overly smart Ace
Chapter 43 Overly smart Ace
Ace hopped into the car and sat alongside a man who looked like he was about the same age with
his sister, Amy was on the driver's sit while Araceli was in the passenger sit, he could sense something
was wrong, first this wasn't Araceli's car, secondly she had that smile she had on her face when she
just came back from the hospital, it didn't reach her eyes but she tried her best to still keep smiling.
"Hey Ace, are you ready to have fun?," Amy asked trying to break the awkward stares Ace was
giving Araceli who was just staring everywhere but at Ace, the kid may have been young but he was
smart and he could sense the tension in the car even though he just arrived.
Ricky taking the hint Amy dropped about trying to break the awkward air around them, he decided
to introduce himself since he hasn't met Ace yet. "Hey Ace, I'm Ricky but you can call me Rick, or my
friends call me Gay Rick," Ricky said winking at him, he knew a talk about his sexuality would be
enough to take his attention from Araceli.
"Nobody calls you 'gay Rick' Ricky," Amy said, starting up the car. What Ricky said managed to
bring a smile to Araceli's face as she turned back to see a confused look on Ace's face, knowing how
curious of a kid he was, Ricky was in for a long talk.
"So you have like a….boyfriend right?," Ace asked, gently carefully thinking of his words. "Yes hon,
I have a boyfriend," Rick said, smiling at him.
"What's his name?," Ace asked, looking at Ricky inquisitively again as if expecting to see
something pop off his head.
"His name?," Ricky repeated, quite surprised that he would want to know his boyfriend's name.
"Well his name is Alan," Ricky said, smiling a little just by saying his name.
"You really like him don't you," Ace said, smiling at him.
"Oh, and what gave that away?," Ricky asked, almost rhetorically even though he knew Ace
wouldn't get it, but his reply shocked him.
"Well I read somewhere that when you say the name of someone you like, a little smile tugs at
your lips, but Araceli doesn't smile like that when it's about Xander," Ace said, simply.
The whole car went quiet for what seemed like hours even though it wasn't up to a minute, what
Ace said seemed to take everyone by surprise as Ricky looked at Amy driving through the front mirror
and Amy shared looks with Araceli who's eyes were just widened. The ice was finally cracked by Amy.
"Five minutes to Trench Arcade, who's ready to have loads of fun?!!," Amy exclaimed, with a
nervous laugh, desperate to break the Ice.
"Yaaaaaayyyy," Ace squealed, pumping his hands through the air completely oblivious to the
awkward environment he had created.
They reached the Arcade which seemed to take forever even though it was just a Five minutes
journey from the time Amy announced it, the place was definitely eye catchy and was very busy with a
lot of cars in the parking lot since it was a friday, it was filled with alot of highschool student looking for Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
some fun after five days of school workload. The inside was a strict blue neon light and different other
neon lights for every other game gave out, the most catchy game that stood out was the glow hockey
board that stood right in the middle of the right side of the room filled of games, the left had an eatery
section, the tables were pentagonal in shapes with chairs at every end of the chair.
They got a bunch of coins for Ace to go play a spider man themed car race. Amy, Araceli and
Ricky headed towards the eatery section not because of the food but it was the only part that wasn't
crowded by adrenaline filled teenagers looking to have some fun, they sat on the chair at the side and
othered some salted fries in a big sieve and some coke.
"Are we going to talk about the fact that your brother is way too smart for his age?," Ricky said,
with an over dramatic expression.
"He is quite observant I must say," Rachel said looking at Ricky overreacting again.
"We should talk about you Araceli," Amy said, staring at her as if she had just lost her husband in
the army battle.
"Amy can stop looking at me like that, I didn't loose my fiancé in a fucking titanic," Rachel said,
looking away from her as she still had the look of pity in her eyes, the look she was avoiding.
"I'm fine, I will be fine, all I need to do is get laid," Rachel added, trying to bring some life to the
conversation.
"Is that really the best Idea?," Ricky asked, as he reached for another batch of fries.
"I mean…" Ricky started, chewing down the fries and washing it down with coke, "When I was
feeling sad about my GPA dropping, my boyfriend tried to make me feel better with sex, but I ended up
crying half way through the penetration," Ricky said.
"Too much info Ricky," Amy said, slapping his arms for what seemed like the one billionth time
today.
"Besides y'all probably didn't use enough lobe," Rachel added, causing both of them to stare at her
in surprise.
"Whattt, I have seen gay porn before," Rachel said, launching fries at both of them.
"Well spoilers, gay sex is completely different from what you see in porn," Ricky said, shaking his
head in disapproval.
"I mean do you think they just stick it up there or just have sex anytime without douching??," Ricky
said, tapping the side of his head with his index finger as if that will make them understand better.
"Ricky, no one want to know how gay sex works, besides all she wanted was to get laid," Amy
turned her attention to Araceli who was staring at her coke weirdly.
"Araceli," Amy waved her hands in front of Araceli's face who looked like she was no longer with
them.
"Sorry, my brain just went overdrive with the info Ricky just shared," Rachel lied, laughing. She
was thinking of the possibility of Xander having her rape video, if it was possible that it could come into
their possession, she only had two choices, go before them and buy the video from whoever had it and
make them sign an NDA or make their effort wasted by announcing why she really went off radar for
two months and survive on the mass pity so as when the video is released she won't be stared at
different, all she had to do was survive the looks of pity.
Amy slapped Ricky's hand again for making Araceli uncomfortable. "Ouch!!!," Ricky whined,
looking at Amy sternly as she slapped his hand.
"That one is on you Araceli," Ricky said, pointing at her as he narrowed his eyes, in return, Araceli
raised her hands up as if in surrender.
"So, you got any guy you want to get laid with?," Amy asked, staring at Araceli as the question
took her aback a little.
"I mean, you can do it with me, I think I'm bisexual so yeah, it could work," Ricky said, winking
badly at Araceli. This earned him another slap on the hand and a stern look from Amy and a cringed
out look from Rachel.
"No thank you," Rachel said.
"Too personal??," Amy felt bad prying.
"Actually no,"
"There's someone I actually have in mind but…"
"But what??," Amy exclaimed, getting more interested.
"Well he kind of has feelings for me and I can't reciprocate it," Rachel said, sighing.
"Why can't you reciprocate it?," Ricky looked confused at her.
"Because we are business partners, my Dad told me I could do anything in business but never mix
business and pleasure, he told her."
"Well feelings will only make it messy, if y'all were just having sex then it would be different," Amy
reasoned.
"Right??" Amy said, staring expectantly at Ricky to back her up.
"Right!!,"
"Besides If you are going to get laid, you have to do it with someone who somewhat has interest in
you," Ricky said.
"Talking from experience?," Rachel asked him, smirking.
"Kind off,"
"I mean that's how I ended up with my awesome boyfriend, who happens to be one of the best I
have had," Ricky said, smiling. He could still remember the day they went out on their first legit date
and ended up running because they both forgot their wallets.
"I'm not looking forward to catching feelings," Rachel said, even though she knew there was a
possibility that she could, she didn't want to entertain it, complicating her life with a relationship right
now isn't exactly hef best option.
"But is this mystery guy hot?," Amy asked.
Just as she asked, Rachel's eye met with Yandel's as he and the twins approached the eatery
side.
"Speaking of the devil…"
