LOGINAva's POVWhile the others headed down to the Hall, we stood behind and waited for Jaxon. He soon came to meet us.“Hey ladies,” he began with a little smile. “What do you think? It was entertaining, right?”“Absolutely! I can't believe I am saying this but I haven't seen anything like it.” Maria said amusingly.“What about you, Ava?” Jaxon turned his attention to me.“What about me?” I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him.“Hmm… what have I done this time, Miss Taylor?”“What have you done? For one, how could you give her the win?” I scolded.“What do you mean? It was a clear win, she not only lasted the longest but also put on the best performance.” He defended.“Yen, yen, yen!” I made a mocking face, still annoyed. “Do you like her? Is that it?” I gently shoved him on the chest but he grabbed my hands.“Hey, now don't make a scene here, little bird.” He whispered to me, pulling me close. “She won fair and square, there was no tricks or agenda behind giving her the victory.”“Mmgh-mgh,
Ava's POVMaria and I walked into the Ranch house and just as we were about to take a turn to the lounge where the contest was being held, we ran into Nia and her entourage.The ladies were coming from their bedroom. Nia was wearing a small denim short, yellow low-neck singlet, and a black jacket above it.She had braided her hair in a black color with wool; it was pretty, and I hate that I thought so.“Look who it is, your arch-nemesis.” Dolly said to Nia.“Oh please, you give her too much credit.” Nia sneered as they stood in our way.I sighed and folded my arms. Could this bitch just let me be?“Come on Maria, let's keep walking.” I took her hand and tried to go through their corner but again they blocked our path.“Wow, I see you found yourself a friend. Does she also pack cow dung like you?” Nia asked mockingly.“Hahaha, strange you should ask. Her name is Maria, so surely she is local. Moreover, why would any sophisticated lady hang out with someone like her?” The third one chir
Ava's POVJaxon frowned and looked at us in confusion.“Jaxon! Don't you know how to knock?” I queried. “Aren't you aware that there are ladies here?”Jaxon huffed. “It's not my fault that you two left the door unlocked, it was an invitation to come in. Moreover, I have seen you both naked enough times, it won't be something new.” He said casually.Maria and I gasped simultaneously.“Ah!”“Jax!”We both screamed in disbelief and embarrassment.“What? Am I lying?” He asked, turning to Maria. “Up until five years ago, you still ran around the mansion naked.”“WELL, FIVE YEARS IS A LONG TIME AGO!” Maria yelled, her face flushing red in embarrassment.“You think so?” Jaxon smirked.“What do you mean? Yes, of course. There is this thing called puberty, you know?” She folded her arms and rolled her eyes at him.“Wait, that came already? Because you still look the same to me.” Jaxon chuckled, pointing to her chest.Maria gasped, placing her hand on her chest. “Jeez! That's so mean!”“She is
Ava's POVWe were back inside the cottage, dining on french fries because that was all that was available in the kitchen at the moment.“Hey, what about those pictures we took the other day?” Maria asked, suddenly looking up like the thoughts had just crossed her mind.“Oh, they are still in my camera memory drive.” I answered. “I have to send them to a friend of mine to professionally edit and watermark them before you can use them.”“Really? Is that necessary?” Maria asked as she put down the empty fries pack.“Yes, the pictures need to be digitally enhanced for a better reach and impression. As for the watermark, it will avoid theft as well as give you more recognition since my lens tag is quite popular.” I explained.“Ouuuu, now I can brag about knowing famous people.” She teased.“Don't be silly, your brother literally plays football.” I chuckled amidst blush.“Anyway, now that you mention it,” I said, getting up to find my laptop. “Let me copy out all the photos I have taken sin
Ava’s POV“Miss Taylor…” Jaxon called softly, as he began walking to me.“Y-yes,” I answered nervously.“Do you realize what you have done?” “I… I… I am sorry?”I could only stutter as I walked backwards, my eyes never leaving his.Seconds later, my back was against the wall and he had closed the space between us.“Sorry, you say? What is wrong with you?” He asked, placing one hand beside my head on the wall. “Seriously, what is your problem?”“Problem? No, no, I don't… have any… problem.”“Yeah? So care to explain why you would disobey me? Wasn't I clear that you shouldn't ride Storm under any circumstances? Do you have any idea what your actions could have caused? Do you know you are lucky to be alive?!”“It was a mistake.”“No it wasn't, you made a foolish decision and disobeyed me. You almost killed Miss Miller and yourself, as well as ruined the show a second time!”I quickly pouted. “You are yelling at me,” I cried out in a tiny voice, wearing my ‘I am just a girl’ sad innocent
Ava's POVI was still screaming with my eyes closed even after I felt the horse stop. I couldn't tell what had happened, did I die? Did I get knocked out? Did I hurt someone?“You can open your eyes now, Miss Taylor.” I heard that angry masculine voice say to me.I opened my eyes to see Jaxon standing in front of me, a frown on his face.“Oh my goodness, I am alive.” I screamed in delight.But my emotions weren't shared. “What the hell were you thinking, Ava?” He scolded me as he walked towards me.He grabbed me on the waist and brought me down from the horse, taking her reins. Before I could even begin to explain myself, we heard a high pitched piercing scream.“Ahhhhhhh!!”We turned to the cowshed to find a lady with her face covered in cow dung. It was Nia, she must have fallen face flat in the cow excreta when she jumped over the shed.Seeing her like that, the other ladies burst into laughter. I covered my mouth and looked at Jaxon, his expression was like daring me to laugh.“Mi
