Summoning up courage, she stood up and went over to him. She drew the nearest chair close to him and sat, his manly scent drifting to her nose. " I'm hungry, aren't you? " She asked sweetly, giving him an innocent smile. To her utmost surprise, he nodded and her eyes lightened up at that. She picked up a spoon eagerly and fed him almost every food Margaret laid down. Of course she ate too, she had never had such a delicious meal before. Back at home, her daily meals were sparse and she ate for survival, even a dog's feed was better than her meals. This tastes like heaven, she thought as she scooped in another mouthful. Alex didn't complain or threw a tantrum, instead he ate everything. The guy sure had a large appetite, she thought. But why had he refused to eat such a large food in Jack's presence? She wondered. Then a thought came to her, maybe he saw her as a person he could be free with or a friend perhaps. Oh, don't be full of yourself, he would never consider yo
" Any issue so far? " Jack asked, breaking into her thoughts. Ava was brought out of her reverie and she shook her head " Nothing, everything is cool " Jack nodded slowly " Do you need anything? " Again, she shook her head " Not at all, I'm okay " She ended her answer with a little smile. " Let me know when something comes up, okay? Here is my number " He made to give her his phone number but Ava shook her head. " My phone isn't in a good working condition at the moment, I'm planning to get a new one in the nearest future, probably a month from now " Jack's eyes widened a little " Oh! " Then he frowned " Did you just say next month? Don't you have any use for it at all? You should get it now " Ava smiled wistfully " I wish I could " and she went quiet. Jack's frown deepened " What's stopping you from getting a new one now? " " Money " She blurted out, not ashamed of speaking about her financial problems. Jack nodded slowly, absorbing the inf
Ben cleared his throat " You'll pay for this, Ava " He swore softly. " Yeah you will, I promise you that " Bobby added. Ava looked unfazed by their threats " Well? " Ben cleared his throat but couldn't get words out. Before they came here, they had been so sure Ava would fulfill their request but now, he was not so sure, especially not with the kind of cold welcome they received from her. He had no idea how she would receive the news. He sighed, they should have thought of a plan B before they left home. Taking a deep breath, he started to speak but Bobby beat him to it. He thought his father was too slow so he took it up on himself to ask Ava. Ben thought his son was brave, foolishly brave if he must add. Clearing his throat and maintaining eye contact, Bobby started talking " The thing is, we're in real need of some urgent cash and we've tried all possible ways to get it but... " He let his voice trailed off. He looked at Ava to see if she was listening. Su
She looked around the room, in search of him. She saw him by the window, his back was turned to her and he shoved his hands into his pockets. She knew he was aware of her presence. She sighed, he was really a puzzle to solve, she thought. She approached him slowly but he didn't turn to acknowledge her presence. He stood so stiff that he could be passed for a mannequin. " Hey "She said softly as she stood beside him and stared out of the window, wondering what caught his attention so much. There was nothing interesting out there, or maybe he was just staring blankly into space. He glanced at her briefly and returned his gaze back to the window. " Are you okay? " She asked, louder this time, willing him to give some sign so she would know his mood changed not because of her. He nodded and she exhaled a breath. Gathering up enough courage, she extended shaking hands to his shoulders. " Are you hungry? " She asked again. He shook his head and Ava frowned sligh
Jack let out a deep breath " But he won't remember anything, which means he's gonna lose his memories " Ava staggered back on her feet in shock. She took the nearest chair and slumped into it. Jack looked at her with an unreadable expression. He scrolled through his phone mindlessly. He was shocked by the news too, she realized. " Forever? " She whispered, her hands folded on her thighs. He shook his head " Nope, that's the good news. He's bound to regain his memory soon or later, in three months time or less " He ended his words with a shrug. " Oh " She muttered. " Yeah " He nodded. " That means he's not gonna remember us? " She asked quietly. " Some particular events maybe " He shrugged, uncertainty evident in his features. " Really? " Her eyes widened with hope. " Will he remember his family though? " She asked thoughtfully. " Maybe, I'm not sure. He'll have to undergo a surgery that will enable him to talk " He said and was lost in
He looked up this time and his gaze locked into hers. None of them spoke as they just stared at each other. Suddenly, Alex reached out and drew her unto his laps so she was striding him. She squealed in surprise but didn't resist as she felt him hardened against her ass. Involuntarily, she moaned softly at the sensation she felt when his dick twitched. What was this feeling? She asked herself. She had never felt this way towards a guy before. Not that she had encountered lots of males in all her years on earth. Looking at him, she could raw hunger and lust in his eyes. Slowly, he tipped her head down and captured her mouth in a mind soaring kiss. Her breath was caught up in her throat in shock and she didn't respond to the kiss immediately. He teased her lips, begging her to give him access into her mouth. He plunged in the minute she opened her mouth slightly to suck in air. Ava had no experience in the kissing aspect but she was surprised at how they moved in unison as
She saw a small smile played on his lips at her apology. He looked so innocent, a boyish man, she mused. She finally gave in to the urge and smiled too. He looked at her with something like fondness written in his eyes. Was it really what she saw there or she was hallucinating, she had no idea. He was done and patted it for emphasis. She turned her head sideways to check out what he did and smiled in satisfaction. She really liked it, kudos to him, she thought in humor. She spined around a few times and he moved back a bit, protecting his poor self from being hit by the energetic little lady. Ava knew she was being dramatic but couldn't stop herself from acting that way. She tried a few pose and judging from the way his whole face lightened up, she knew he would have laughed if he could but unfortunately, no sound could come out of his throat. Ava felt her eyes clouded with tears but she blinked them back rapidly. She couldn't allow him to see that. She did a few more styles
She looked up at cautiously but he was really eating well. He looked like a real man, Ava thought. Dumbass, of course he was always a real man, her mental voice said and she rolled her eyes. I know, she threw back. After dinner, she led him back to his room and didn't leave until after she sang him a song that put him to sleep. She sighed and put off the lights. Maggie was tired so she retired early, leaving Ava to do the dishes. Her back ached and she stretched out her arms. She definitely needed a good massage, she thought. She had just gotten into bed when her phone rang. Who could be calling so late in the night? She didn't really have friends so she was confused. Oh! She thought as she remembered she gave her number to Jack but why was he calling? She had no idea. She picked on the second ring. " Hi Jack, are you okay? " She asked immediately, getting anxious. " Hi Ava, were you asleep already? " He sounded tired. " No, I just got in my room, I went to put Alex
