Ace's POV

"... I dont even know what she meant , I just looked straight at her face and told her the words .

Hey lady . I wanna fuck you , wanna come home with me?" Old man Jay says . We all burst into laughter .

"And did that all work out. " Cassiey asks.

"Oh , hell no! I didnt work ." He says , face straight but a small smile playing g at his lips .

"She said no?" Cass asks in between her chuckles.

"Oh ,no ! Ladies back then wouldn't say no . She smacked me right in the face and then said she'd call the police on me if she ever saw my face again . I swear to God that woman made my life difficult .

She worked at goddamn Walmart, I went there every week , how could I avoid seeing her . " Old man Jay throws his arms in the air .

Cassiey came here to get a tattoo , she didnt actually tell me what she was getting but she was really excited about it so I'm thinking I'm going to love it .

Hanging out with her and my bros is fun , she's pretty fun to chill with . When the guys are around it doesn't even feel like she's a woman .

Although I stare at her more than I've ever and would ever stare at any of the guys here .

"Almost . " he says , and the machine's loud buzz finally drills through the conversation we'd been having .

"Hey Old man Jay , did you ever have a wife or a kid?" Cassiey asks after a few seconds of silence .

She hates silence as much as I do . The only difference to her and me is that she can actually fill the gap , while I'd make up an excuse to leave or I'd play around with my finger nails.

" A wife ? Do I look like a one woman's man? Cassandra I ain't never had time for that .

I mean anyway , look at what investing your time and energy in one person led to ." He says pointing at us .

"I'd be mad to stay with one woman , cause believe you me , one woman equals an eternity of headaches and hangover and I'm good getting that from bitches at the bar ." He says .

"Yes , and you're good with getting STD from bitches from the bar ." Cassiey says sarcastism dripping through every word .

A chuckle escapes me , I know Jay doesn't believe in sicknesses , he's an odd , odd man . He throws a hard glare at me , and I avert my gaze to the grey naked wall .

"Dont get smart with me girl , now I'm done with your tattoo . " He says .

A cute squeal escapes her lips . She looks at me from the bed that she's been sitting on with excitement lacing her eyes .

"You ready ?" She asks . I nod , somehow her excitement has rubbed onto me . I feel like jumping up and down and squealing too. But that'd only make me look gay.

She out reached her hand and right there between her nuckle and finger joint or whatever ‐ I never focused in biology- there is a new tattoo .

" " is spelled boldly on her index finger .

" " is spelled boldly too on her middle finger .

" " is boldly spelled on her wedding finger .

And on her pinky is a boldly drawn Ace sign . " "

My heart swells as I stare at the tattoo. It makes me feel so special that she'd even think of that .

" it's beautiful baby." I say to her .

"Okay , okay . Dont get all sappy sappy in my room , you can go do you half fucking half whatever in your room . Okay ?" He says with a smug look on his face .

"Jay ? Can I also get a tattoo ." I ask him .

Cass takes a sharp intake . She looks so damn sweet and cute when she's surprised . It makes me want to kiss her plump lips .

She smiles . I use my fingers to lure Jay over to me so I can whisper my idea to him . After I tell him , he nods once then gestures me to the bed .

"The both of you are getting annoying , why y'all whispering in my ear as if y'all wanna fuck me . Especially you Ace , you know I ain't gay . What the hell wrong with you. " he mumbles .

Believe me when I say , old man Jay cannot mumble . You hear him clear as day . Cassiey chuckles and I send a playful glare .

"So what are you getting ?" She asks .

"Uh uh , it's a surprise baby ." I say to her . I hear her squel in excitement again . Now let me tell you something , I can never get over hearing that sound .

I could make it my ringtone, my alarm and my goddamn doorbell sound . It sounds sweet and cute and just like those cute little girls who deliver cookies to our doors .

I'm so obsessed with this girl. I watch her sleep every night , and I marvel at how she sleeps with a smile . A goddamn smile , I never wanna see her without that smile of hers .

She looks so peaceful when she's asleep , sometimes I want to see what she dreams of , cause I swear she chuckles and it's the cutest thing ever .

This reminds me of what mum once said , she actually told me that one day I'm going to have a child with someone that I love ever so dearly .

And everytime my child is asleep , I'm going to watch the child and smile and feel pride while watching them.

I feel that way , except not about a child . But about the love of my life . She even snors cutely .

I never imagined that a convict could be cute but heres one and she's so cute . She loves food and all that is cheese . And she's so beautiful when she eats .

I peep my head around Jay's figure just to check out what she's doing. I find her on the spot I previously occupied . She's playing with her fingers , she looks up and her cheeks turn red . Cutie .

Cassandra's POV

Showing him the tattoo was my favourite part of this entire experience. His face looked so cute as he looked at me .

But what I never expected was for him to ask for a tattoo of his own . Ace barely has a tattoo on his body , yet he's getting one today and probably for me .

I listen to the hypnotizing sound of the machine while fumbling with my fingers. The pain has calmed down but there's still a little sting to the new tattoo .

I thought about it while we were cuddling . I wanted to get a new tattoo but I didn't know of what , which is lead to me looking at Ace for inspiration but then there , I found it .

I marked myself of him . Now everyone knows that I'm Ace's.

I look up, only to find Ace staring at me , my cheeks burn up as I look at him . His face looks smug for a moment and then he winks .

How cliche of him . I blush otherwise .

" I need to go to the loo , be back in a few . " I wave them off .

I walk out of the building . I sure need some fresh air . I've been cooped up with old man Jay and Ace for so long that I'm scared that I smell like man .

Over at the garden I see Isabella alone . That's a rare view , Isa is never alone . Anthony is always by her side or inside her. Those two are pretty intimate , they literally went at it one day when they thought I was sleeping .

I just listened to them , praying to God that I fall asleep may second .

"Hey Isa , what are you doing here alone?" I ask , she looks up and for the first time , the usual happy and hyper face is not there .

" Anthony is getting out of jail in a week . And I still have two months to serve . " she says .

Wow , a week? Is this how Ace feels ? Why is she not with Anthony ?

"Aww , I'm sorry baby. I'm here with you . And I'm sure Anthony will visit every day . Dont stress yourself ." I say to her . She looks up, and as if sad face was not shocked enough .

A tear fills her eye . She looks at me , her lips bend over and quiver. She looks like she wants to say something but the tears are making it difficult.

"He's still here , so go and spend all the ti.e that you guys have now ." I say in a peppy tone . I pick her up and we walk hand in hand to the building .

When I walk back into the room , buzzing still bounces off wall to wall .

"Ugh , how big is it . You better not be getting my face ." I pray that he is not getting my face cause I haven't seen old man Jay look at me , not even once . I'll come off looking like a goddamn pimple .

They both chuckle. Men , secrets. It's all so confusing .

One thing, I remember myself looking bored , the next someone is shaking me awake .

"Cass , Cass . Wake up, I'm done . " His velvet voice says .

I'm still half asleep when I'm lifted and suddenly begin moving . He walks us to somewhere I dont know.

Soon enough I hear a door squeaking open and a few minutes of mumbles which leads us to walking again .

This time longer direction , down the stairs and soon enough I hear a door squeaking open. I'm put down on the bed . The aroma of this room doesn't smell like vanilla, the normal scent of my room . It smells masculine and like Ace .

The sting from my fingers give me a rude awakening .

I take in my surrounding . Just like old man Jay's room , the walls are grey and naked . The floor is brown just like the other rooms on this floor .

The bed is cover with white sheet and there's a desk and sitting on it is a lamp and a chair right under a window which opens the view to the garden and the entrance of the hall .

What surprised me , is that there is no other bed in here . Just one .

"This is my room. Welcome baby. " the velvet voice says again . And then Ace comes to view .

He kisses my cheek .

"How was your nap? " he asks . A smile plays at my lips as I answer him .

" Well , it was pretty good . Got some rest done , I enjoyed it . The buzzing helped. " I say and he smiles .

"Yea , I agree ." He says .

He looks at me in my eyes and unexpectedly, he smashed his lips on mine . He thrusts his tongue into my mouth and hold my ass . His breathing escalates and he let's me go . He looks right into my eyes and says .

"I love you okay ."

" I love you. " I say it back . We dont usually say too , because it sounds like I'm just agreeing with him and not actually passing the feeling .

"So do you want to see it?" He ask . I nod frantically .

He tortures me by unzipping his jumpsuit slowly and showing me .

A gasp reveals itself from my throat. Tears form in my eyes and for a moment my heart stops beating .

I look up at him and he nods. My heart is beating so loud that the sound morphs to a drumming in my ear .

I run my fingers over the tattoo .

It's a tattoo of a waxing crescent. My favourite moon phase but the crescent is a bit exaggerated as it looks like a " " .

Then realization hits me . He got a tattoo of a " " in the form of the moon which is something we both like to admire .

It's in the shape of a waxing crescent, my favourite moon phase and it's the first letter of my name .

And then he pulls the zipper lower to his stomach . He pushes the jumpsuit to the side , putting his amazing physic on display .

And on the side of his body , right below his rib cage in a 12 pt cassive font , is written the words Cass .

I cant take it anymore , I jump up to his embrace and he kisses me while wrapping my legs around his body . He cups my ass cheeks and kisses me passionately too .
