Her lips curled up into a smirk and I stared at her blankly. It was a trap. I saw the questioning look on Richard's face and I didn't know what to do. This was a great temptation." What has that got to do with anything?" Avery swooped in and I sighed, " You've been throwing questions at us since we came in. What's the big deal?" He asked.Their countenance changes drastically and I looked at them, take that bitches, you won't get me today. " That's part of getting to know our son's girlfriend. Isn't it dear?" Veronica asked her husband who merely shrugged in response.I watched Ava's eyes narrow in unhappiness, and I giggled, then faked a cough to cover it up. They are going to cry and never stop crying if they are waiting for us to fail.He stroked my back " Baby are you okay?" He asked me and I nodded. Then he smiled at me, making my heart skip yet again. This organ was in danger of being compromised. Focus on the prize, Bella.' I told myself but it was impossible when Adonis wa

Avery's POVShe turned towards me and raised her brows, " Uh, I don't know, maybe the fact that you and your family are not on good terms and it's unsettling." She said, her eyes searching mine.Why was she bothering with them? I didn't want to speak to them, period, instead I drew her closer to me and she stiffened. " You are far away." Her breath hitched and a blush coated her cheeks making her even more attractive and I stared at her, why was she behaving like a virgin?" Answer the question." She said and I cocked my head at her. There was something different about her, she stared at me tenderly." What will you give me in return?" " What do you want?" She asked and her eyes widened in response as if she was just realizing that she walked into that trap wide open." Do you really want to know what I want?" I inquired and she blinked again, giving me that innocent look that was beginning to affect me. " What?" She replied in a breathless tone when I pulled her even closer, we we

Bella's POVI was taken aback by the statement, if Ava didn't like anyone, then who did she like? I wondered, and played along, " Don't you think that it's not good to be at loggerheads with everyone?" I said.He stared at me in more suspicion, " Who are you and what have you done to my girlfriend?" He asked playfully as he shook his head gently in disbelief that I, or rather, Ava could change.He snorted at my response, " You don't forgive people that easily. Hearing you speak to Luke is still a surprise." He said and I shook my head. That lady must have been a bad woman for him not to believe that she could change.I mean I had seen firsthand, how she could be but j didn't believe that it was this bad. I didn't want him to continue having that impression about me, but I smiled. Anyway, I'll soon be leaving his life for good. "You've been staring at me a lot lately. Don't tell me you are falling in love with me. I assure you it will not end well." He said without mincing words.My e

Avery's POVLuke was busy laughing at me when I returned to my seat with a sad expression, " Are you seriously behaving this way because of a kiss? It's not like she's going anywhere." He said.Actually, it seemed that way, I could sense her worry, I didn't know when I began to worry about the human population. " I don't know what you mean by that though, you don't even have a girlfriend, how can you know how it feels?" I replied to him sarcastically." I'm better than you." He said and I snorted." In what way?" I replied." You are kidding me right? Everyone knows that you are never invested in any relationship. At least with me, I am patiently waiting till I meet the right one for me." Luke replied wistfully, and I stared at him." You dangerous heartbreaker, if I had a daughter, I'd tell her to stay away from you" He chuckled.He might have meant it as a joke but I took it to heart, I wasn't that much of a womanizer, I just get bored with them, " Don't you notice any changes in B

I tried to control my anger because I figured out that it wouldn't be good for me. He had to decide what we wanted. It was funny how we were not even dating yet we were having issues like a real couple. He wasn't speaking to me and I extended the same energy to him, I took a shower and lay on the bed patiently waiting to see if he would try to make amends. Was this what Ava had to deal with? He seemed emotionally unavailable and I wondered how he expected the relationship to work out. Anyway, he wasn't mine, I needed to remind myself of that every time but it wasn't easy I shut my eyes when I heard the shower stop running. I knew what his abs looked like, yummy! I didn't dare turn when he walked into the room." I know you're not sleeping." He said.Was he trying to start a conversation with me? If yes, I wasn't in the mood for one right now, we could talk about it later." Scoot over, I need to sleep." He tried again and I rolled my eyes, the bed was wide enough to contain both of
