Maverick's P.O.V
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a few weeks between me and Ace dating, which I was surprised he was able to deal with me for this long. I was happy, and I was hoping he was too. I sighed and stood up from my bed. I was supposed to meet everyone at Selena's house today for a party but I forgot to. I was already an hour late before I realized, now it's about to hit the two hour mark. I didn't really want to go, especially with Selena there. I didn't like Selena.. not one bit.

I grabbed my keys off of my desk, and I walked outside to my truck. I got inside and started it, waiting for it to heat up before leaving. I sighed as I heard my phone start to ring. I hung up on it, before I had realized it was Ace calling. I started to feel bad after that. 

I shut my door and buckled my seat belt, starting to pull out of the driveway and driving. I turned up the radio to see what they were playing today, which was mainly Christmas music since it was near that time. I sighed and flipped through a few stations until I just decided to go without it this morning. Ace always was able to play better music anyways.

I was driving for a bit until I reached Selena's house. I saw Ace and the others sitting on the porch, talking. I parked my truck and I turned it off. I got out and put my wallet and keys in my pockets. I shut the door and walked to them, waving a bit.

Ace smiled and waved back, which made everyone else look at me too. Once I got onto the porch, Selena attached onto me like a leech. 

"I'm so glad you came! We've been waiting for hours you know." She said in a sweet tone.

Alex pouted a bit and stared at Selena. She crossed her arms and looked away. Ace stared at me, his face pretty much blank. He didn't look like that before Selena hugged me. Jae was on their phone playing games. 

"Maverick.. won't you at least look at me?.." Selena whined. I moved my eyes down to her for a moment, and saw her giving me puppy eyes. I got a bit uncomfortable and looked away, as well as pushing her off of me. 

"I'm.. happy to be here." I mumbled. Though my tone wasn't as sincere as I should have made it sound. I walked to Ace and sat down next to him. I kissed his cheek and smiled.

Selena scoffed, and rolled her eyes. "We're just waiting for a few more people to show up and we'll start." She said.

A few hours went by, the party had already started. Me and Ace were sitting together outside, since that was the quietest place.

"So.. what's going on between you and Selena?" Ace asked. I stared at him and cocked my head to the side. I didn't know what he meant.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Ace's fists clenched a bit, and he bit his lip. "She keeps on touching you and treating you like you're her boyfriend. I don't like it." He said. "Is there something going on between you two that I don't know?"

I paused and stared at him for a moment.

"Why would I like Selena? We don't talk like that. Plus, I love you, Ace." I said.

Ace crossed his arms, but that slightly distressed look still plagued his face. 

"Are you sure?.." He mumbled.

I nodded in return, leaning in and wrapping my arms around him. "I promise. I would never leave you."

He sighed and hugged me back, letting out a small sigh. I gave him a small kiss on the forehead while I softly rubbed his back with my hands.

Whenever the party came to an end, we all said our goodbyes. Me and Ace did have a talk before we left though.

"Hey.. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later? Like in a few days?" Ace asked, seeming a bit embarrassed about it.

"Sure! If that's what you want." I smiled. 

Ace nodded, and I saw that cute blush cross his face again. He waved, and started to walk off.

I waved back with a smirk. "I love you! Bye!" I shouted, before getting into my truck.

After I shut the truck door, I heard him yell back. 

"I love you too!"

I chuckled, and buckled my seat belt. After a few moments passed I decided to drive home.
