《Ace Of Hearts(#Book1 in ACE series)》Mission Ace-Eva Honeymoon.

Advertisement

It's been hours since Estevan went to search for Eva, I hope everything is fine. I don't even know what happened between them, but Eva must be really sad or upset to leave from here like that. John (I like to call him John only, 'dad' word can only be used for one person) is sleeping upstairs and the guests have also left. It took all my convincing to make sure John sleeps and doesn't worry much. He made me promise that I would wake him and tell him as soon as both of them arrive home. I liked John even though he is my 'stepfather' as others say. He is a nice person. He was with us when we needed someone.

So now, it's just me sitting and waiting for both Eva and Ace to return home. I necessarily told Ace to come here only, I want to personally know what happened between both of them although I am pretty sure that Ace must have done something to screw everything up.

Hey, don't get me wrong. He is my brother of course but being his elder sister I know how good he is in relationships or specifically in 'love'. He practically runs away from the word 'love' and all those things. And it's not like he was always like that, it's just the....situation which made him what he is.

I vividly remember how fun loving and carefree Estevan was years ago before everything in our life decided to just blow up and hit us so hard that we won't ever be like that again. I have managed to somewhat move on and try living again, but for him it's not that easy. He has instead decided to bury his heart and carefree attitude - and has made this thick and impenetrable wall around himself. He has gotten used to pushing people away.

Other may see this as his arrogance and natural behavior but I know it's not. Yeah I agree that his arrogance and ego is something that he has pride on but it's not how he is. He uses it as an excuse to run away from the only thing that he fears - love.

And no, this isn't that romantic or cheesy love only, but more than that it is the love which means a sense of safety and promise of being for him forever.

It may sound a little bit cheesy to you but trust me it's not cheesy for people like my brother who have a constant fear that their loved ones will go away from them or leave them.

When I heard the news that my brother married someone I was way beyond shocked. I didn't see that coming in about.......a lifetime maybe?

But I really think he loves Eva, I mean...... I think he does. I haven't seen him with any better girl than Eva. Even if he doesn't love her, I then also think she is the best for him.

But I am not really sure if Estevan is the best for Eva.....

Today, the only reason for which I asked both of them to come here only was to know how she feels for him and more importantly if everything is okay between them. As far as my intuition goes , I think everything is not okay.

And for that I have thought of the best solution - Honeymoon.

I mean seriously what is the best way to ensure everything is okay or even if it not okay it become okay? of course, honeymoon.

But for that I would be needing some help from Ryder, who will be coming tomorrow I guess. Till then I have to wait. I am going to personally ask Ryder to ensure that they both enjoy their trip fully.

Estevan would definitely refuse to go but for me he would do anything. Some manipulations and emotional blackmailing and he would accept it.

I was awoken from my thoughts by the opening of the front door. My head instantly turned towards the door and I was relieved to see Estevan but Eva was in his arms.

Oh my god. Is she okay?

I got up from the sofa and ran to them.

"What happened ?Is she okay? Did something bad happen? Is she go-" I was cut off my Estevan.

"She is perfectly fine Jenna. She fell asleep in the car."

Thank god. Otherwise I would have prisoned Estevan myself.

"Oh okay. Lay her down on your bed. I am just going to tell John and then come to your room." I told him.

"Why are you worrying Jenna? Just go to sleep I'll manage." Estevan told me.

"No. Don't make me argue. Besides you have to tell me everything that happened." I told him and hurried to tell John while Estevan practically whined as he took Eva in his room.

I hurriedly told John about Estevan and Eva. After making sure that he was satisfied and well tucked in I finally went to get a bottle of water and glass just in case Eva woke up or Estevan needed it.

I then reached outside Estevan's room. Without knocking I went inside as it was my habit, only to see Estevan pulling the blanket over Eva who was fast asleep on the bed. He then shook his head looking over at Eva's left hand which was hanging down the bed. He took her hand and laid it on the bed. I further went inside and said teasingly.

"Ooo, the great ACE ESTEVAN PARKER is taking care of someone."

Estevan turned around to face me and rolled his eyes at my comment saying "Seriously?"

"Yeah seriously. It's not like I see you making sure that every other person in this world is sleeping comfortably. It's a rare sight. Oh wait no, it's an extinct sight." I said laughing cheekily yet silently to not disturb Eva.

"It's not like I see every other person in this world sleeping as weirdly as her." Estevan reasoned.

"Awww ! Looking at her while she is awake is not enough that you see her sleeping also?" I said pulling his leg again.

Estevan was about to say something but then he stopped. He then started to go towards the bathroom. But I clasped his hand and tugged him, taking him to the lounge chair in the balcony, making him sit there.

"What are you doing Jenna?" Estevan asked me confused.

"Sit here and talk to me. First tell me what happened today?" I asked him the question that I have been dying to ask since Eva left the party.

"Oh it was nothing, don't worry." He said vaguely.

"Stop telling me not worry Estevan. I will worry, of course I will. I can't stop worry until I know what happened. What made Eva so upset that she had to run away?" I said trying to keep my voice to minimal so that Eva doesn't wake up.

Estevan was contemplating and thinking about something. I could see that. He then looked at me and said

"It was just that I didn't know that...I didn't know that she liked working and I lashed out on her for saying that she wants to work."

I raised my eyebrow at him suspecting his lame excuse.

"Seriously? If that is the case then why did you say that she can't work?" I asked him trying to figure out if he was lying.

"Of course she can't. Why does she need to work when I am one of the richest people all over the world?" He said in a matter of fact tone.

"Oh come on. I know you are lying. Tell me." I pushed him.

"I am telling the truth Jenna. She worked in a cafe earlier. How could someone carrying my name work in a cafe?!" He replied as if I was the dumbest person on the planet.

"Oh shush. You are not going to stop her from doing anything she wants to. For god sake Estevan she is your wife, not your slave!" I said getting impatient now.

"Yeah I understand, I promise next time she asks about working I will not stop her. I don't want to talk about it right away, I think I should give that topic a rest and let her only ask when she is ready. " He said.

I nodded my head. Maybe he was telling the truth. I decided to drop the topic. I instead asked him

"So tell me what should I do to punish you for your behavior today?"

"What? Punish? seriously? For that gi- I mean for such a small thing, you are mad at me?" He said in disbelief.

"This isn't a small thing Ace." I told him sternly.

"Everyone needs to stop saying that! Can't we just drop this fucking topic?" He said growing impatient and irritated. Other might think that this irritation and impatience is their cue to leave Estevan but that doesn't work for me. I know this impatience is a sign that he is getting close to actually face his feelings. But I think I pushed him enough for today. So I said-

"Okay I will drop it if you do every single thing that I tell you to do for the next forty eight hours."

He looked at me and gave a look which clearly said - 'I do that always. You know I can do anything for you'

"I know you can do any thing for me but this is different. You will do everything without even arguing or questioning." I said.

"Whatever." Estevan said and went towards the bathroom for changing.

I smiled and got up from the lounge chair and went inside the room. Eva was still sleeping, and Estevan was right - Eva slept in a very weird position.

I shook my head in amusement at her sleeping form. I have never met a girl quite like her. She has this unique vibes and aura around her which makes everyone forget their problems and laugh with her. The first time when I saw her, I instantly liked her personality. She was of course very beautiful, but her personality is even more beautiful. But the most surprising fact is that I have known her for only a few days and still she has managed to make a special place in my life. If Estevan really loves her then I can certainly imagine what he fell for. But if doesn't love her I am sure he will in the coming months if not years.

You may think I am quite overemphasizing on the fact that whether Estevan loves Eva or not but you will surely understand me once you see what I see about Estevan.

You know for years it's been a universal fact that his sole love is his freaking laptop and work. He can't live without working - in short he is workaholic

But suddenly there is Eva with whom he is so in love with that he married her, this very thing makes my subconscious to question everything. If Estevan was ever in love with someone he would have definitely told me earlier.

But then It's his nature - not being able to express himself.

But don't get me wrong, I would be the happiest person if Eva is really his true love.

I think she is the perfect girl to Estevan's monotonous ace and bring some sense to him.

But one is certain - he definitely cares about Eva, but then I feel that some kind of fear or obstacle his holding him back. I don't know what.

I shook my head and went towards the closet to get Estevan's diabetes medicine. I took it out and placed it on the side table so that he can take it and doesn't forget.

"How did he even get diabetes when he practically drinks black coffee without sugar everyday?" I muttered to myself.

"I have kept your medicines on the side table. Don't forget to take it before you sleep." I shouted to Estevan who was still in the bathroom.

"Hmm." Came his reply. He was probably taking a shower.

I then looked towards Eva to see if she woke up from my shouting but to my surprise she was still sleeping soundly. She really is a heavy sleeper. I chuckled silently at her.

" I really want you to be the one who will pull him from the edge and make him understand that it is okay to move on sometimes. I hope you bring the Ace of hearts back Eva. " I whispered to her sleeping form, and even though I knew she couldn't hear me - somewhere deep down I knew she would bring back the old Estevan back. Giving her a look, I silently went out of the room and went to sleep even thought it was already four in the morning.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I woke up around eleven today, and to my no surprise Estevan was awake since 8 am only. He had come back from his daily routine of gym and all and had even left for the office.

Now, it is almost one in the afternoon and I am waiting for Ryder here. He said he would reach by one but still there is no sign of him.

I strictly told him to first meet me and then go to see my brother. I had a very important mission for him - Mission Ace-Eva honeymoon.

It was a few minutes later when Ryder enthusiastic voice boomed in our hall. Thank god he is here, I thought he bailed out.

"Where are you el-sis??!" He called me. It's his nickname for me, it's a short form for elder sister.

"Here I am Ryder, and how are you my boy?" I asked him. He was always my favorite, like a younger brother. He is younger than Estevan by I guess some months or so.

"I am as cool as I was when you left." He replied cheekily. I laughed at his cheeky face.

"So how's Eva? Ace told me yesterday night slash today early morning that she was lost and he found her then..." He said turning serious.

"Oh yes, Eva is fine I guess, I haven't really talked to her since everything happened. She has not woken up yet. I don't want to disturb her as she slept late today morning." I told him.

"Oh okay. Ace doesn't leave a chance of screwing up." He said laughing and I joined him.

"So why did you call me? you said there was something urgent?" He asked me curiously.

"Yeah, I need some help with Mission Ace-Eva Honeymoon." I told him.

"Woooaaa, Of course I am helping, I am not called Ryder the matchmaker for nothing." He said proudly.

I chuckled and said "Listen I have made a whole list of ideas slash incidents that I have planned for their honeymoon trip, it will look as if it's just a coincidence that things are happening the way they are but in reality they would be planned by us to bring both of them closer and make sure that they work things out."

"Aww, my el-sis has borrowed my skills. So tell me when is the honeymoon?" He said.

"Day after tomorrow." I told him smiling mischievously and this is how we spent our afternoon plotting the Mission Ace-Eva Honeymoon.
