Getting all the things in her list were more easier than she thought as she happily made her way out of the store. With difficulty, she carried the heavy bags but bumped into someone outside the store. " Oh no! " She whined as her bags fell and the contents scattered on the floor. " I'm so sorry! " She said apologetically and went about picking her things. From her peripheral vision, she saw that the man had bent over to help her. She muttered several Thank Yous, not looking once. They both picked the last apple and Ava finally had the chance to look up at her helper when their hands brushed each other. " Thank you so... " Her words trailed off as she recognized the face immediately. " Hunter? " She asked, shocked as if she couldn't believe her eyes. His own expression was no different from hers " Ava Adams?? " His deep baritone got Ava even more excited. She nodded numerous times and flew into his arms. " Oh My God, Ava! " He said happily, his expression mirroring Ava's own ex
He looked on in boredom as the guy beat around the bush for a while, not getting straight to the point immediately. " Lamar " He finally cut in when he couldn't bear with it anymore. " Sir? " Lamar replied with a flushed face because he knew Alex understood what he was into. " Can you go straight to the point please? Thank you " Alex said calmly and relaxed back in his chair as he studied Lamar calmly. Lamar took a deep breath and started talking " Miss Adams went to do grocery shopping "" Okay thank you, you may go now " Alex dismissed him with a wave of his hand. He looked up after he noticed that Lamar didn't make any attempt to leave. " Anything else, Lamar! " Alex asked with a raise of his eyebrows. " Uh, I think you need to see this " Lamar replied quickly and handed some photos to Alex when he extended his hand for the photos to be passed to him. A minute later, Black saw rage slowly crept up from within Alex. His jaw was clenched and he clutched the photos in his large
" You go to work everyday though, no day is is an exception " She said thoughtfully, eyeing him from her long lashes. " And what is it to you if I go to work or not? Last time I checked, it's my fucking company and I can fucking do whatever I want with it " He lashed out. " Exactly! " She replied in the same tone, matching his energy. " Every normal human should work in 5 working days so I wouldn't dare question you for staying home on a Saturday, you need all the rest you can get " She added. Alex's eyebrows creased in a frown " Are you implying that I'm not normal? " He asked, somewhat offended by what she said. " Oh no! " Ava exclaimed dramatically and clamped her hands on her mouth as if doing that would prevent her from uttering more offensive words. " I didn't say that, did I? "Alex opened his mouth to reply but the sound of a phone ringing stopped him. At first, he thought it was his but relaxed when the vibration sound wasn't coming from his pockets. Then he looked up to
Talking about his wife openly was a very sore subject for Jack. He nodded anyway " Yeah " and glanced down at his son who lacked his mother's love. Another look of pain crossed over his features. On noticing the thick and uncomfortable silence, Ava quickly thought of what to do to clear the air and an idea came to her finally. She made a funny face at Liam and the latter bursted into an uncontrollable laughter, startling the two men. They both looked at him and followed his gaze to see Ava making funny faces at him. They smiled, but for different reasons. While Jack's smile was a wistful one couple with gratitude that at least his son had someone like Ava in his life, Alex smiled, thinking about how great of a mom she would be. He could picture her tending to her kids lovingly... His kids. He stopped, after realizing where his thoughts were leading. He slapped himself mentally. Holy shit, where had that come from? His kids?? " No fucking way " He thought he said it in his mind but d
Maggie seemed to notice and she withdrew from the hug " Hush now, I don't wanna see a gloomy face behind this little makeover, hmm? "Ava nodded tearfully and took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. " That longtime friend of yours is your data tonight, right? " Maggie asked and her eyes twinkled, which made her look younger than her years and Ava told her so. " Wow, look at you getting all excited like Cinderella. That youthful look makes you look stunning yourself " She teased Maggie blushed " Ow stop making this old lady blush! " And she nudged Ava playfully with her arm. " We both know it's true " She said thoughtfully. Deciding that the woman had had enough teasing for the night, she answered her previous question " Yes, he wants us to go have dinner and catch up on old times "Maggie whistled " You go out there and have fun baby girl, go for it! " She cheered on Ava. Ava laughed and her attention drifted to the long stairs like she was waiting for someone to show up. M
But before he could take things further by placing his hands on her breasts like she wanted, her phone rang and they jumped apart like kids who were caught in the act. With a flushed face and trembling hands, she hit the receiver button. " Hel... Hello? " She said into the speaker, panting softly. " Oh! Hunter, I'll be out in a minute " and she hung up. To Alex, she said quietly " Uh... My date is here so I got to go now " Alex slowly released her and backed some steps away while he nodded his head " Okay okay, I didn't know you had a date " He muttered rather senselessly. Ava refused the urge to roll her eyes and just copied his action by nodding her head too " Yeah, I do have a date and he's here "" Enjoy your date " He said rather stiffly and brushed past her. Ava heard the sound of doors closing and sighed. Why had he acted that way? He wasn't jealous of her friend, was he? Putting the whole thing at the back of her mind after she promised to think about it later, she dec
It was Hunter's turn to roll his eyes and he did just that " Who were you babysitting then? "Ava closed her eyes briefly, tired of Hunter's stupidity. She ignored his question and continued " So I've been working there for some months now and it's where I live too " She concluded and took another sip from her drink. " And where did the child come in? His nephew or is it a niece? " He questioned with his eyebrows raised. " Oh! Now I get the whole thing, he's a busy man and needed someone to look after his nephew " He finished with a satisfied nod. " Will you shut up and stop speculating? " Ava asked tiredly. " Alright I'm sorry, just tell me everything and don't leave me hanging " He whined and added " Pretty please? "Ava sighed and stared at him expressionlessly " There's no child, Hunter "His eyebrows furrowed even more " So who have you been... " He didn't get to finish his words because Ava interrupted him." The boss himself " She announced. Shock was an understatement for
He reminded her of the predator she had thought about earlier that evening and was more excited than scared. She wanted to back off but her feet refused to move. It was like they were glued to the floor. His eyes never left hers and it was Ava's turn to gulp now. Finally, he got to her and his hands went to her waist slowly. His eyes didn't leave hers still. " What... What are you doing? " She whispered and her voice trembled. " Why don't you relax and find out, sweetheart? " He answered huskily. He moved back her hair and her neck was bare to him now. The white skin on display had his dick stood erect and he groaned. " What are you doing to me? " He asked but didn't wait for an answer, didn't expect one as he bent to attack her neck with his mouth. She moaned at the contact and closed her eyes to enjoy the heavenly feeling. His dick poked her belly and it aroused her even more. He sucked and kissed, and kissed and sucked her neck leisurely like he could do it the whole day and n
