She saw a small smile played on his lips at her apology. He looked so innocent, a boyish man, she mused. She finally gave in to the urge and smiled too. He looked at her with something like fondness written in his eyes. Was it really what she saw there or she was hallucinating, she had no idea. He was done and patted it for emphasis. She turned her head sideways to check out what he did and smiled in satisfaction. She really liked it, kudos to him, she thought in humor. She spined around a few times and he moved back a bit, protecting his poor self from being hit by the energetic little lady. Ava knew she was being dramatic but couldn't stop herself from acting that way. She tried a few pose and judging from the way his whole face lightened up, she knew he would have laughed if he could but unfortunately, no sound could come out of his throat. Ava felt her eyes clouded with tears but she blinked them back rapidly. She couldn't allow him to see that. She did a few more styles

She looked up at cautiously but he was really eating well. He looked like a real man, Ava thought. Dumbass, of course he was always a real man, her mental voice said and she rolled her eyes. I know, she threw back. After dinner, she led him back to his room and didn't leave until after she sang him a song that put him to sleep. She sighed and put off the lights. Maggie was tired so she retired early, leaving Ava to do the dishes. Her back ached and she stretched out her arms. She definitely needed a good massage, she thought. She had just gotten into bed when her phone rang. Who could be calling so late in the night? She didn't really have friends so she was confused. Oh! She thought as she remembered she gave her number to Jack but why was he calling? She had no idea. She picked on the second ring. " Hi Jack, are you okay? " She asked immediately, getting anxious. " Hi Ava, were you asleep already? " He sounded tired. " No, I just got in my room, I went to put Alex

She took in a deep breath and drawled out " The hell I'm scared of you Bobby, what do you want from me? Didn't I made it clear to you that I neither want to see you nor hear of your existence. And mind you Mister, if you're calling to ask me for money, you're wasting a whole lot of your time " That was not so bad, she praised herself silently. He was taken aback by her outburst, he hadn't expected her to talk back to him. He had initially thought it was because she had people around her the last time they came and had thought she would shrink into her shell when she was alone with him. He had thought it all wrong. He thought of what to say to her, all his tricks on her had never worked out " Be careful Ava, watch your back, this smart mouth of yours will become an issue in the nearest future. And I'm not done with you, like I said, watch your back " and the line went dead. Even after the call ended, she still stood there, shocked. Why were these people after her life? When

Bobby dragged her out with every bit of his strength as Ava refused to move a step out of the car. Of course he was much more powerful than she was and succeeded in carrying her over his shoulders effortlessly, like a ragged doll. " Asshole! Let go of me! " She shouted at the top of her lungs but he paid no heed to her as he walked along the woods. " Help! Somebody help me! I'm being kidnapped! " She screamed but it was fruitless as no one heard her. He whistled along, not even stopping her from screaming. Her strength got drained with each yell and she finally quietened down after what seemed like hours. Her eyes started to droop in fatigue but she shook it off weakly. She had to stay awake to save herself, she comforted herself with the words and went quiet. They arrived at a small wood house and he opened the door. The interior of the wood house looked more like the outer world, she couldn't even describe how it looked. All she knew was, it was not fit for a pet, much

Alex looked down at the tiny woman in his arms, shocked. Turning to his brother, he asked " Who is she? "While Jack kept mute, Ava withdrew from his arms slowly, looking dejected. She gazed into his beautiful eyes, silently wishing he would recognize her but it seemed that wasn't going to happen, at least not at that moment. Her hands fell to her sides slowly and she gazed at the floor, not able to hold his own piercing gaze. " Who is she? " Alex asked again, taking his eyes off her to stare at his brother fiercely. Suspicion was written all over his face but there was also a hint of curiosity, as though wondering who the young woman was to be able to hug him. Ava seemed to be spellbound because she liked the sound of his voice. Normally, she didn't take notice of guys' voice but somehow, she found Alex's to be deep and sexy. A male's voice should be deep, right? There came the mocking voice in her head again but she chose to ignore it this time, promising to get back at her inne

Jack sighed, thinking how wrong he was to have thought he could make his son forget Alex. " He's fine, man . He is " He managed to reply as brief as possible. Liam nodded but Jack sensed he wasn't satisfied so he waited to be asked some questions again. Which Liam did, shortly. " So... Where is he? Why isn't he here? " Liam asked again and stared at Ava who looked away quickly, not knowing the answer to the question herself. Jack groaned and muttered " Doctor ordered uncle Alex to remain in bed till he's strong enough to go home so for now, we would be going back home without uncle Alex " Liam pouted " But I want to see him " He glanced at Ava as if he wanted her to say something, plead on his behalf maybe. Ava shrugged helplessly and mustered up a small smile " Uncle Alex will come home soon baby, he'd be with us before you know it "Then she went over to him and pulled at his cheeks lightly " Is that okay? "Liam looked at her like his whole world centered on her only " Pinky

" Hey bro, how are you holding up? " Jack asked in a way of greeting as he sauntered into the hospital ward with Ava on his tail. It was obvious to anyone watching that Ava was scared as fuck as she hid behind Jack's tall frame. Alex was sitting up on the bed and he raised his eyebrows when he spotted Ava behind his brother. He knew she was trying to avoid a direct conversation of any kind with him. But for some reason, he was intrigued by her and wanted to talk to her, feel her presence in close proximity. Shut your trap man, he scolded himself silently and faked a cough. He looked away from her to regard his brother with a glare. " Thought you were never going to show up, I'm cool anyway " He answered with a shrug and gave Ava one quick stare. Ava on the other hand was once again spellbound by the sound of his voice. His deep, sexy voice were doing some wonders to her body which she couldn't quite define. Like water ripples down from your throat down to your stomach ? Her in

" You're really something, aren't you? " Alex drawled out lazily as he stared up at her from under his thick lashes. Ava ignored him and continued, loudly this time. " And it's Adams, not Evans " She corrected him firmly. Alex threw her a look which meant he didn't take lightly to being corrected. Ava returned his look with a defiant stare and they remained that way for a while until Alex finally gave up with a sigh. She wouldn't be easy to deal with, something within him kept giving him a warning signal. Ava took a deep breath and continued " So uh... I was your babysitter when you were... Sick " She kinda stressed the last word and looked down at her feet. When she didn't receive any reaction from him, she looked up and found him staring right back at her. " Hmm, you were my babysitter " He nodded and gave her a dangerous smile which chilled Ava down to her spine. His demeanor changed into a stiff one as though he was offended merely at the thought of her being his babysitter.
