Though the whole concept and conversation in her mind had come relatively easy to her when she had rehearsed it and looked at the outcomes of it all but now with Ace with her, she felt her knees become weaker.

Vi watched as Ace slid into a seat... Deep breath, Vi. "So... I don't know how to put this..." she said at first standing before taking a seat opposite of Ace. She wasn't sure if she could... Oh Merlin... "I... " She paused, biting her lip. She was going to beat around the bush. Start off with a few people (Noelle, Etta, Mel, Vivian, even Skylar now, and more) had been asking about what her friendship with Ace was. Were they dating...? Were they something else? What were they? Sure they had gone on dates and were going on dates and all... And they had kissed... and not just once. Had the kiss meant something? Obviously it had but still... Maybe she was reading too much into it? Her cheeks were touched a light blush at the thought of the kiss. Her first kiss. It was clear that she cared about him and he cared about her... but... But was he seeing other people? Not so much that the seeing other people that bothered her but was... Had he kissed others like he had kissed her? She dismissed the thought, being distracted by it all. She wasn't even dating him... why should she worry about all of that? Ha, silly her. No, not silly. She wanted to be with him. But maybe the whole idea was just.... Ugh. The thoughts kept on returning and weren't being dismissed. What did all of this mean?

"Ace..... " She paused. "What are we?" There she had said it. That hadn't been so hard, right?
