AvaI hear a knocking, my eyes are still closed. At first I feel disorientated then recall I was on the call with Zoe until nearly midnight. My head feels fuzzy from the champagne and then I remember. I groan, how could I have done that? Bringing myself to climax at a dinner table, I feel mortified and so embarrassed. I never want to see that man again, I simply can't. There is another knocking sound. I have to open my eyes but they feel like lead weights. All I want to do is roll back over and go to sleep and forget last night ever happened. I daresay Zoe is right and that Sebastian loved every minute of me losing control under his spell. The fucker, I'm so off men right now. Every single last one of them. Don't even get me started on my ex, Mark.There it is again the knock. I realise it is somebody at the room door. "Hold on." I shout out wondering who on earth can be knocking on my hotel room at this unholy hour of the morning. I reach for my mobile from the bedside table and chec
SebastianI can't even focus on my assistant talking to me. My CFO is running through figures and my project manager is staring at me. I've only just realized and all because my mind is on her again. I can't get Ava off my mind. It is unlike me to be distracted especially by a woman. I am focused, passionate about my business and always commit to my staff. Yet here I find myself being glared at by the three most important people to me in my business. "Sebastian are you with us?" Pedro my project manager asks. He is short with tousled dark hair, the deepest brown eyes that almost look black. Right now they look black, I can imagine since he hasn't had my full attention he is least impressed with me. "I'm with you. Malaga. I need you to go down in the jet tonight. My father wants someone on site to find out exactly what the hell is going on with the water and pool situation down there. The infinity pools." I add to be precise. "We were just discussing that but you were miles away." P
SebastianAs soon as I leave the boardroom I take a right along the cool air conditioned hallway and head for reception. Greta our new German intern is on reception today. She smiles at the sight of me and raises her hand in a small wave. "Good morning Sñr Garcia." Her accented voice is pleasant. She has been with us just a few months but already showing promise. Her next few months will be followed with a term in the marketing team, sales team and then she will spend much time with Elena my assistant until she can decide what part of the hotel industry she wants to specialize in. I see her blush when I smile back at her. She blushes a lot. "Good morning, Greta. I hope everything is going well. Please call me Sebastian. You make me sound old like my father when you call me Sñr Garcia. We do not need to be so formal here." I have told her this before but perhaps this time it will make her feel somewhat more comfortable. It is true, we run an informal show here. It is better for my em
AvaI have so far managed to see everything Grenada has to offer from the stunning Alhambra Palace which offered me spectacular views and its intricate architecture. I am fascinated with all things Islamic in design and this was one of the first things I went to visit. It was absolutely amazing and I could have spent all day just being at the Alhambra Palace snapping merrily away. To the Albaicin neighborhood. Wow what a place. Steeped in history with such vivid colours and fragrances of all the spices and herbs. It is the former Arab neighborhood and even had many stores in souk style. I was in my element and found it difficult to pull myself away. However, the cathedral beckoned and I didn't want to miss it.Before I knew it my mobile, when I checked showed me it was past two o'clock. I'd literally missed lunch and only stopped for coffees and pastels. I can't go anywhere without dosing up on caffeine. Sebastian's driver had stayed discreetly in the background. I'd informed him I wa
Ava"Oh. My. God." Zoe is practically screeching down the phone. "You did what? You ran away from him after he asked you out to another dinner? What is wrong with you, Ava. Honestly." I have my mobile slightly away from my ear, I can tell she is really pissed at me right now. I stare up at the ceiling and watch as the fan goes round, it's part of an art-deco ceiling lamp and it's really captivating as it whirs around. "I know. I know." I say biting my lower lip. "I just got scared. I haven't got that shag them and leave them gene in my body. Even though he is so hot I could jump his bones." I giggle. She doesn't. I can tell Zoe is hacked off with me for not even considering it. "On top of that I've made a right idiot out of myself for just running away. But oh my God. When I touched him I felt like my fingers were shot with electricity.""You're so dumb sometimes, Ava. I just can't believe you ran away from him. You have to go and seek him out and tell him you'd love to have dinner
SebastianI stop and feel as if my jaw has dropped to the ground. I quickly place my hand to my chin to make sure it is where it is supposed to be. "Are you listening, Sebastian?" I hear this evening's receptionist saying to me. "It is urgent. Room 198 have no air conditioning. They have raised a complaint. Can I give them the room free of charge for the upgrade. I'm moving them into the Malaga suite." "Yes, yes whatever you think is best." I don't look back as I make my way to the goddess who is coming my way. Her hair is around her shoulders and her lipstick is siren red. I want to kiss her so much until her lips are nude of it. The dress hugs her chest and cinches in her waist which is so narrow then flares out at her hips. She is a vision who has taken my breath away. "Ava." I say as I walk towards her. "What can I do for you? Do you need anything? Tell me and I will organize it for you." She looks bold and confident, I'm feeling my heart racing. Am I panting like a dog? I need
AvaI'm sitting here watching him as he speaks to someone on the phone. His driver no doubt and I am nervous and excited both at the same time. I'm wondering what on earth I am doing agreeing to this dinner date. And I am also worried what might happen after dinner. Will I allow him to give me a chaste kiss or will I take us to the first base. I haven't dated not properly since before I met Mark and that was when I was nineteen. So you see it's been over five years. I am seriously out of practice.Has time moved on so quickly that I'm out of touch with dating? I wonder if I should quickly Google modern day dating. I mean are the bases even the same? Do they have the same meaning? Only nowadays the world seems to be a bit sex obsessed and well I am a healthy woman and I certainly give my vibrator some action, but with a man so soon after Mark. Is it right? Is it normal? None of this is normal to me and to be perfectly honest, I feel exactly as I did on my first date all those years ago
SebastianI can tell Ava is slightly drunk she seems more chatty and engaged. I actually think she is flirting with me and to be honest I haven't got a clue what I should do. It has been a beautiful evening. My friend Antonio has made the terrace even more stunning than I can remember. There are fairy lights everywhere, a hammock in the corner that to be honest I'd love to lay on with Ava in my arms. Just rocking gently away as the fresh evening air brushes our skin delicately and we stare up in wonderment at the stars.I love to look at the stars, I find them amazing, peaceful and a total mystery. The moon is not quite full tonight but nonetheless it is gracing the sky with its presence. Ava is telling me about her ex. The one I'd like to smack in the face. He makes me so angry that he has literally discarded Ava for being who she is. What angers me the most is him knowing that Ava's profession is lucrative as an influencer with a large on line presence and yet he has belittled it. A
