MasukHi guys, we have come to the end of another cute love story. I am really grateful that you got this far, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. This story was inspired by the kdrama titled 'Twinkling Watermelon' and this is my first time writing about a female lead who has mutism, so I can only hope that I did my best to spread more love and awareness and to also remind us that despite whatever flaw we have, that we are still special and loved and strong enough to overcome the challenges in our lives. Ava may be fictional, but she is just like most of us who are constantly making our way in the world despite our weaknesses. Thanks for giving this story a chance, and I do hope that I will continue writing amazing stories as long as I can and that you will continue reading those amazing stories too. Xoxo, Lora ♥•♡•♥ [Currently, I am thinking of writing a sequel focused on other characters with juicy crossover moments from our OG couple. If you are interested in a sequel, let me kno
AVAEverything happening right now feels like a dream.Kevin Carter, the loudest, the cockiest, the most self-absorbed, gorgeous handsome hockey captain on this campus, is kneeling directly in front of me right now. His jeans are soaking up the icy dampness of the ground, his breaths puffing from his nose in thick, white clouds thanks to the freezing night air. His bright blue eyes are still staring up at me, his gaze filled with raw, unfiltered vulnerability.God. I can't bring myself to look away from him. I can't bring myself to abandon him.I can't.“I am so sorry,” he says again, his deep voice trembling slightly in the quiet night. “I was an idiot, Ava. An arrogant idiot who took way too long to realize that the best thing to ever happen to him was standing right in front of his face. I let my stupid mouth and my foolish pride push you away from me, and for that, I am sorry. I don't care if the whole school sees me like this. I don't care if you make me stay on my knees all nigh
KEVIN Well, I deserve that.“Ava, please just give me two minutes,” I beg, holding up my joined palms in the little space between us. “Please. Just two minutes. That’s all I am asking for.”She says nothing, her eyes still glaring at me, her feet still rooted on the ground beneath her. She hasn't moved an inch, not even a fraction of an inch. Her silence is killing me, but I am willing to wait it out.After a long ass moment of burning me with more glares, she tries to step around me to the left.I slide over, blocking her path again.She tries to dodge to the right.But I step right in front of her again.She gives me another sharp glare and next, she aggressively starts typing on her phone again before showing me the screen:‘WE HAVE NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT! GO AWAY CARTER!’“Please,” I beg again and she responds with a frustrated sigh and tucks her phone back into her coat, her green eyes still glaring at me.I know she wants me to leave.But I don't want to do that.I can't leave w
KEVINQuickly, I throw on the jacket, grab my car keys, and dash out of the house without even saying goodbye to Mason.My hands are shaking in the freezing night air as I yank open the driver's side door of my truck. After entering and settling down on the seat, I jam the door shut and start the car.The engine roars to life and I throw the gear shift into reverse, pulling out of the parking space with the tires screeching against the pavement.Seconds later, I am on the road, driving back to campus.Thankfully, there are no traffic jams and I am super grateful for that. However, my pulse is pounding against my ribs and I am silently begging and hoping that I am not too late to fix things between me and Ava. I am driving through the road like a possessed man who can't wait to reach her and apologize for everything.And I really hope she will forgive me.I keep driving nonstop, my mind replaying the look of betrayal on her face after I said those stupid words and she pushed me away.
KEVINI look up at him, frowning. “Knew what?”“I knew this was going to happen,” he chuckles softly. “I told you the day we made that stupid bet that you have finally met your match, but you refused to listen to me. You thought you could just charm your way into her heart, but she played you perfectly, so congratulations bro. You have truly fallen in love.”His words hit me hard, especially that last word.Love.I won't deny it. I can't.I love Ava Hudson.I am IN LOVE WITH AVA HUDSON.I fell into my own trap.And I fell so fucking HARD.“You are right,” I mumble. “I fell in love with her, but I completely ruined it too.”“What?!” Mason's smile fades. “What did you do?”“We kissed after the game,” I answer, the memory filling me with both happiness and excruciating pain. “The kiss was amazing, Mason. It was everything.”“Okay. That sounds like a win and I am so happy for you. However, where's the problem?” He asks.“The problem is my stupid, arrogant mouth,” I sigh, feeling so ashame
KEVINBack home, I storm into the house and bang the door shut behind me.Fuck.My hockey bag hits the floor with a heavy thud and I don't even bother turning on the lights in the entryway. My heart is pounding against my ribs, the cold night air from outside the house still clinging to my jacket. Despite winning the biggest game of the season in double overtime, I feel like shit. The entire campus is probably screaming my name right now at the victory party, but all I can think about is Ava and the murderous glare she threw at me.Fuck. What have I done?“Hey Kev, I know you are back home. Why are you standing there in the dark?” Mason’s voice calls out from the living room.Saying nothing, I force my legs to move into the living room. There, the TV is playing some late-night sports recap and Mason is sitting cross-legged on the rug with a half-eaten box of pizza resting on the coffee table in front of him.He looks up.And on seeing me, the smile on his face instantly vanishes.“Du
