Is He In Need Of A Girlfriend?

  "Good morning Avery", Ava had just woken up and met her sister in the kitchen preparing coffee. She yawned and stretched her body. It had been a long night and she couldn't remember falling asleep. It was a beautiful morning and today was her day off. She got a job recently as a sales attendant in a grocery store. She had always wished to be a model. She had the perfect body for it but getting recognized as a top model in the country requires a lot of connection or money. They had none, they could barely afford the electricity bills. Avery was the least concerned about their family's predicament but Ava tried her best to support in whatever way she could. Sometime in the past, Ava had to keep two jobs just so she could help pay the bills. They didn't go up to the college level because their mom couldn't afford the fees but they were very brilliant. 

   Ava had always dreamt of becoming a medical doctor someday. A doctor who's also well known in the modelling industry. If wishes were horses..

    "Good morning to you too sleepyhead. And hey, thanks for ruining our big day yesterday", Avery scolded holding the tray containing coffee for the both of them.

    "Avery about that, I'm so so sorry. I didn't mean..."

     "I'm so so sorry, Avery. I didn't mean to ruin our big day. I didn't mean to show up at our party late... The usual lines Ava, the same old lines", she mimicked Ava using her tone.

   The both of them laughed out loud and Ava raised her hands up in submission. Yes, she was right, she was about to use the same old lines. She had always skipped their birthday parties in the past and always had excuses for it.

    "But still, I'm sorry. Something happened yesterday though and that's why I came back home late."

     "Aviva, things has always been happening on our birthday. Anyways what happened this time around?", Avery was fond of calling Ava by her full name, Aviva whenever she doubted her.

      "Cut the crap Avery" Ava giggled and took a sip of her coffee.

    "Go on, I'm listening."

     "Okay well..."

"Well...... Spill!"

     "Okay, okay. I met this Mister yesterday and I think I like him", she confessed shyly and Avery got off her seat laughing. Ava just stared at her and wondered what was funny. With the way she was laughing, she would make a noise and wake everybody up in the house.

   "Avery. Stop laughing, you will wake grandma up."

     "Sorry, my bad. Pardon me for laughing but it was quite amusing. My twenty-three year old twin sister who's still a virgin and has never had a boyfriend all her life finally meets someone she likes. Woah, I didn't see that coming Aviva."

    "But I'm serious Avery. I really do like this guy..."

    "Okay okay, are you telling me cause you want my help? Or you are just letting me know?", She drew out her chair and sat down fixing her gaze on Ava.

    Ava had a thing with her eyes, those puppy eyes were irresistible and you just couldn't say no to her. 

    "Stop it Ava. You are doing that thing again,  with your eyes. Okay, what exactly do you want my help with?"

   Ava smiled broadly knowing she just won and started chattering like a happy child who had just gotten a candy.

    "Avery, how do I win a man over? Like how do I make him like me?"

Avery nearly dropped her cup of coffee. Did she just hear her right? Innocent Ava trying to win a man? What happened to being the good, innocent child?

     "You want to win him over? Like win his heart?"

  Ava nodded and Avery kept her cup of coffee slowly on the dining table before folding her hands to think properly on what advise to give.

     "Did this man of yours in anyway indicate interest in you? Like has he made any moves yet?"

Ava nodded her head in the negative. She became crestfallen and hung her head low.

    "What is it? He doesn't like you? How did you meet him Aviva? Spill."

    "Avery we have never crossed paths before. I met him in a garage yesterday and I took interest in him. The only problem I have at the moment is making him accept me.."

    "Hmmm... So you met at the garage last night and you got to like him immediately? Okay, are you sure he isn't in a relationship at the moment? He's a stranger and there's a possibility he  might already have a woman in his life."

       " He's single at the moment Avery."

"And what makes you sure of it? Did he tell you?"

    "He broke up with his girlfriend in my presence."

    "Wait he did that? Hold on a sec, Aviva were you eavesdropping on someone?"

   Ava didn't reply and tried to avoid Avery's gaze. Her silence said everything and Avery shook her head.

     "That's invading someone's privacy, you know.."

Since when did Avery know a thing about privacy? Avery is always nosey and doesn't have any respect  for anybody's privacy be it their Mom or grandparents.

    "Wow."

 "What's with the wow, Aviva?"

  "Nothing, I'm quite surprised my sister is lecturing me on invasion of privacy. Coming from you, it's a big shock I must say."

      "Oh please. Anyways, who's this new found love of yours?"

     "I actually can't remember but I think it's a Mr. Nathan Lewis. I think.."

    "Nathan Lewis?", Avery yelled at the top of her lungs. 

     "Yeah.. you know him?"

  "Ava are you kidding me? Who doesn't? Ever heard of Dove's enterprises?"

     "Yes I think I heard it somewhere. The richest company in the states at the moment. How's there a connection with him?

    "You still don't get it? Mr. Nathan is the CEO of Dove's enterprises. Ava, that's a multi-billionaire you met yesterday. Oh my goodness, I wish I was there. Tell me everything, how did you meet him? Did you get his number? Is he interested in you? Is he...", Avery was asking so many questions at the same time.

     "Woah, I didn't see that coming. No wonder Miss Camille was begging profusely to be given a second chance. Now I see why he's arrogant and so full of himself."

    "Ava please can you give me his contact? What about his home address? Is he in need of a girlfriend at the moment? A maid or something? Just anything please.."

  " You have got to be kidding me, girl."
