Ava’s POV The blaring sound of my phone ringing made the both of us jump as we both flew apart from each other. I looked around in embarrassment as I searched for my phone and Xander pointed out that it was in my pocket.I cussed silently as I picked my phone out of my pocket to check the caller ID. I swear if it’s Mason, I would cuss him out before asking him never to call me ever again.I sighed when I saw that it was my mum. Why is she calling me at this perfect time? She’d ruined what was supposed to go on between I and Xander.I looked at him and he also seemed embarrassed as he picked out his phone to scroll through it. I picked the call to stop the torturing sound of my ringtone.“Mum?” I said into the phone, no matter how hard I tried, my anger and embarrassment could be heard in my voice.“Where are you?” She asked and I groaned, does she still think I’m a baby for her to always keep tabs on me.“Mason called me just now to tell me you haven’t been home and it’s getting
Ava’s POV Being on one’s period is the worse thing that can ever happen to a girl.Feeling in a severe amount of pain, I ruffled through my drawer to get my pain relief drug and I took it in hopes that my menstrual cramp would subside a little but it seemed as though the drug wasn’t working.Clutching my stomach and tossing and turning on my bed, I finally decided that I was going to place a pillow under my belly and I wasn’t expecting it to make me feel better than the drug I took previously.I closed my eyes in a bid to catch some sleep and also gather some strength before my mum and Danny got back. The sound of the door banging and the voices of people downstairs woke me from my sleep.Groaning, I stood from the bed and walked slowly since I felt weak. I needed to make myself a hot cocoa and also tell my mum what’s going on with me. “Mason, go get your sister.” I overheard Danny tell Mason and his groan was loud enough that I could hear it all the way from up the stairs.
Ava’s POV I got up as early as I could to get ready for my class. I walked to the kitchen silently to pour myself my usual glass of milk and I almost shrieked when I saw a blurry figure beside the fridge. I flicked the light on to see that it was Mason.He had a bowl of Ice cream with him and was eating it silently. His eyes narrowed down at me but he didn’t say a thing as he scooped another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.“The least you could’ve done is switch on the lights,” I muttered as I walked past him, “it’s dawn already and you scared the shit out of me.” I added as I picked up a glass and poured my milk in.“Why are you all dressed up so early in the morning?” He demanded but I ignored him, “On your way out to go fuck that guy you claim to be tutoring, right?” He added, answering his question by himself. “Mind your own business.” I mumbled with an eye roll.“Typical answer.” He scoffed out.“I’m not you and will never be you who would do anything to get laid,” I
Ava’s POV Walking back home from the coffee shop, I needed a cup of coffee to refuel my energy after the long stressful day at school. I cleaned the beads of sweat that formed on my forehead and stood for a while to try and catch my breath.I’m so fucking tired.I opened the bottle of water I had with me and took a sip before I heard the revving of a car and it stopped before me. I would recognize the car anywhere.Rolling my eyes, I hissed as I tried to walk past him. I didn’t have the strength for any sort of argument and although it killed me inside, I knew I shouldn’t insult or cuss him out right now because I didn’t want to be on my mothers bad side.The only time we get to be together is when we’re feeding or walking Coco, bathing her would have to wait because I’ll be damned if I get wet around Mason and anything aside from that and we might be chopping our heads off.“Where are you coming from and why do you look like you’ve had your life sucked out of you? Were you riding
Ava’s POV The sound of his door opening and closing hours later signified that he was probably seeing the girl off.He’d just finished having sex with one of his usual psychos and had also seen her off. I heard the door to his room lock and I immediately knew what was going to follow that.I’m done having to put up with his stupid attitude and pretend it’s all fine, stomping out of my room. I made my way to his door and banged on it as hard as I could.I’m going to end this once and for all.He opened his door and stood by the doorway as if restricting me entry, not like I’d actually want to enter his room, especially when he was literally having sex in here minutes ago. I rolled my eyes and regarded him slowly, his right hand was perched high against the ledge of the door, and one of his eyebrows was raised.I averted my gaze and next, my gaze zeroed in on his bare chest, making me stifle a cough and stylishly take a step backwards, having just realised that I had been standing
Ava’s POV Xander left for his house since it was getting late already and I also couldn’t stop thinking about the kiss.It wasn’t what I’d imagined, I smiled as I rolled over on the bed and I almost gagged when I remembered my first kiss. It was prom night and we were in my date’s car when we kissed.He used too much of his tongue and it almost seemed as though I was being fed his saliva. I expected the kiss to be passionate and sweet but instead it was rough and horrible.My date back then wouldn’t stop caressing me, which made me extremely uncomfortable that I had to end the kiss and leave at once.My friend said it was going to be a beautiful feeling but I had felt nothing but disgust during that kiss. This kiss with Xavier was really different. It was better than the last kiss I had.He didn’t try to cup my breast or touch me inappropriately, he’d only held my chin and placed his soft lips on mine, and it had felt extremely nice. I felt an emotional release within me and I ha
Ava’s POV I got to school and looked around for Xander but just like the other day, he wasn’t in class. I couldn’t help the worry that filled my mind and was also unable to concentrate in class.After class, I went to the Library with Nicole and in there, I told her everything about what happened between Xander and I.“Oh my god, you kissed him?” She asked and I shook my head as I told her that he was the one who kissed me and Nicole pulled me in for a hug.It seemed like an achievement because she hugged and congratulated me dramatically but I only rolled my eyes. I also told her about Mason and how much of a jerk he is.“He had the nerve to ask if I was jealous of his girls when all I did was ask him to tone it down a bit, that guy annoys the hell out of me.” I said with a sigh as I placed my head on my palm.Nicole’s roaring laughter almost made me jump and my eyes widened as I tried to tell her to keep it low and also remind her that we are in the library.It was too late bec
Ava’s POV It’s been three months since my mum and Danny had been married and for those three months I have felt the immense urge to murder Mason by either smothering him in his sleep or just pushing him off a cliff, more times than I can count.The only time I barely thought about killing him was when he wasn’t sleeping at home because that was the only time I had enough peace for myself.Xander has still not been coming to class and he’d even missed the semester exams, all efforts to call him and ask what the problem was proved futile.“I’ve been trying to get through to him but he won't pick up my call until his number starts sending me to voicemail.” I complained to Nicole who understood my worry.She’d told me not to worry about it that Xander would come along but he hadn’t.Did I do something wrong? Did I kiss him in a bad way the other time we kissed? I couldn’t help the questions that kept running through my mind as I stared at his number again.I called the number again a
