Ava was getting the bread into the food blender while simultaneously watching the YouTube tutorial video along with Jack and Miss Jackson when her doorbell rang again .
Ava groaned loudly wondering why Benny had returned and so soon at that , she decided to ignore him and just focused on what the hand in the video was doing .
She was sorely interrupted when whoever was at the door began to bang loudly on the door , the cats mewled loudly in response since they also realized who could be possibly trying to bring down their door .
Ava left the bread , wiped her hands with a napkin she had kept aside and paused the video before she left the kitchen .
She trudged through the house and to the door where she bypassed the security system with a flick of her thumb and opened the door .
A pretty woman with dark hair cut in a pixie cut stood , relaxing on the screen door , she was sporting a huge frown that made Ava roll her eyes , she looked like a character out of Tinkerbell , an exhausted fairy but a fairy nonetheless .
The woman pushed the screen door open and rolled inside , she was immediately attacked by Jack and Miss who began to jump all over her while she ignored them .
" Avaaaa , What took you so long to open the door ? ", Ava's best friend, Sharron whined as she took of her crop top and flung it aside , she was dressed in her gym clothes , so she had been to the gym in the middle of summer , what self inflicted suffering !
Ava ignored her and walked back to the kitchen , she was suddenly really hyped for her blended bread breakfast .
Sharron followed her in her bralet , holding the cats in each of her hand as she walked very close to Ava , her mouth practically kissing Ava's neck .
" Why did you change your password ? Do you know how hot it is outside ? I was almost obliterated while I was waiting for you to open the door ", Sharron continued to complain .
Ava knew she had to give her best friend something , if not , she would only keep asking questions .
" Benny was here just a while ago , I changed it so he would not be able to come in as he wishes and if it is so hot outside , why did you go to the gym ? ", Ava turned around and asked her friend softly while also opening her arms for Sharron to get her secondly dose of human contact , Sharron was a toucher , an avid one .
Sharron immediately fell into the embrace , whimpering softly as she wrapped her hands around Ava .
" You know why I really went to the gym and it was a bust , well that was only at the beginning , the universe fixed it but then , wait ... ", Sharron trailed off as she pushed herself out of Ava's embrace and held Ava at arm's length to examine her.
" When I spoke to you last night before bed , this was what you were wearing ....", Sharron observed as she narrowed her eyes , trailing off again with her statement .
Ava tried to think of what would make her friend forsake her much loved body contact .
" Oh Goodness, Ava !!! Did you have Benny here while looking like this ? ", Sharron squealed , her already red face growing redder as she smiled from ear to ear .
Ava quickly looked down at her body , frowning deeply as she realized what had happened , second wave embarrassment hit her and she coloured up alongside her friend as she tried to remember if Benny's face had strayed from her face while he had been here.
" Oh God , Ron , I had no idea , he came in as soon as I woke up and I was too busy thinking someone had broken into my house to think that I was almost naked ", Ava whispered in despair .
Sharron was smirking widely , the cats had somehow returned to her arms and they were all smirking at Ava.
" Hmmmm really ? Or did you want to have a taste of that young , yummy hottie ? ", Sharron asked her as she nodded her head at Ava's lower region in a very lewd manner.
Ava grimaced and grabbed her cats , covering their ears so they did not have to hear any of Sharron's nonsense .
" Stop calling him young like we are so old !!! I am only three years older than he is , saying it like that makes me sound like a cougar ! ", Ava protested while her friend only kept smirking like a pimp .
The pimp look was a terrible look on Sharron because not only did she look like she had pixie dust in her pocket , she also looked like an eighteen year old cherub , so the image of her trying to smirk dirty was actually quite disturbing .
" But we both know he is not only Interested in your books , he is interested in everything you have to offer ", Sharron said and waved her hands around like a wand when she said "everything".
Ava rolled her eyes in frustration , Sharron was positive that Benny wanted to fuck her even though she had told her several times that it was not the case.
" Ron!!! I told you , nothing like that is happening or going to happen ", Ava yelled , angry that she was getting worked up while Sharron maintained her breezy look and she was still doing the dirty smirk .
" Well , if nothing was going to happen before , today definitely changed that , I mean you received him in lingerie and in lilac , you do know how beautiful you look right now , right ? I mean , even the bed hair makes you look all that more fuckable , I do not think any man would have been able to resist this sight ", Sharron's smirk had grown immeasurably and it was way past looking dirty now .
" I did not receive him , he broke into my house because like you , he knows my password which is why I changed it and for the rest of what you said , I would just like to put a big fat false on everything you said".
Ava grasped for words , whenever Sharron got like this , it was usually downhill from here , she would spend hours telling Ava about different men that she was sure wanted to fuck Ava , even though Ava was sure that was not the case .
It had all started in eighth grade when Ava had suddenly started having breasts , hips and looked too old for her age .
She had hated it and tried to explain to the other girls , led by Sharron that it was not all fun and roses but it had all fallen on deaf ears as Sharron had gone on to draw a Ava's body attached to her own head on the school bulletin board , it had been in permanent ink , that was probably why they had become best friends .
By the time she was in her first year of high school , she had stopped wearing glasses because she reminded people of a pornstar and had done every possible thing to hide her body .
Every man she met was convinced she was a wild , freaky person and they were determined to see that freaky part of her , Ava had never let it go too far because she had been afraid that when they discovered that she was actually very boring , they would be disappointed in her .
" I doubt it is like that , have you had breakfast ? ", Ava questioned , changing the subject because she of course knew that even if Sharron had eaten , she would still be very hungry .
She was always hungry .
Ava turned and headed back to the kitchen , preparing to return to her bread tutorial but she was again Interrupted by Sharron .
" I'm not hungry ", She declared .
Ava and the cats stopped moving and turned back to Sharron .
Ava had to tread softly , If she did not , she would have a crying mess here in a few seconds.
She began to hurriedly go over everything that Ron had said since she came in , she soon remembered that she had said going to they gym had almost been a bust but then the universe had changed that.
That meant something had happened at the gym , the only thing that could have happened at the gym had to be related to Carlos .
He was the reason she had changed her usual morning jog to ab actual gym membership .
If it had been a bust when she got there ,then he had probably not been there when she got there and then he had come in just before she went .
Ava hoped to God that her theory was right .
" Was Carlos not there today ? ", She asked tentatively.
Sharron raised her head and broke into a full blown smile .
" Oh , you definitely are the love of my life ! ", She declared loudly as she sunk her face into Ava's shoulders.
" But you said the universe fixed it , did he not end up coming in ? ", Ava asked quietly as she patted Sharron's back .
Sharron's hands immediately tightened around Ava's waist , almost cutting off Ava's circulation , Ava immediately knew that her friend had done something she could not say to her face .
" So , of course , I was really worried , you know ? Carlos is not the type to miss Gym on purpose , he is the really diligent type so , of course , I was worried that something light have happened to him and so I got his number from the gym's directory and called him ...",Sharron said , trailing off yet again .
" Wait , getting his number , is that not illegal ? ", Ava asked , scared that the man might have threatened legal action , from the blurry pictures that she had seen of him , he had looked Influential enough to actually do that but Sharron only hissed.
" Who would bring up legalities with me ? That was not even weird , what was actually weird was when I called and he picked and called my name before I introduced myself !!!! Ava , don't you see ?? He likes me too , he had my number all this while !!! ", She was dancing a little now while still holding Ava in the right embrace .
" Why can't I see your face while you share this good news ? I am beginning to feel uncomfortable with how tight you are squeezing me ", Ava said , trying to get her friend to release her , it was to no avail .
" Oh , I am so sorry ",She was apologizing but she was not moving an inch .
" So , anyways he said he could not come to they gym because his friend had just closed a huge deal and was celebrating , he is charge of making his friend relaxed as much as possible because his friend is a workaholic ....then, we kind of laughed when I told him that my best friend was also a workaholic ", Sharron said with an apologetic chuckle .
" You can't get angry Ava , that was like the first thing we had in common , similar friends so you can not get mad and then he kind of invited us to his friend's party and I said yes !!",Ron hurried out .
" What did you say ?!? ", Ava yelled while Ron only held her tighter .
" I said we have a party to attend , you can not get mad , I am sure you had nothing planned for the day except some really boring breakfast and then sleeping the whole day away , I know you are on break and you have not been writing , so you have no excuse ! ", Ron declared while Ava hurried to think of a way to get out of this .
" I have nothing to wear , I am so sorry but I won't be able to go anywhere with you all ", Ava replied with her deadest tone while Ron just burst into laughter , she finally let go of Ava , her face was alight with joy because she was finally meeting up with Carlos that she had been secretly admiring for months now .
" No worries , I got several things for you and you do not actually need much for this party love, it is a pool party ", Ron announced with much flair while the cats mewled along with her .
"I am still not going , I don't want to go to somewhere with a bunch of strangers ", Ava protested adamantly .
Ron stared at her from beneath her lashes .
" Will you let me meet up with Carlos for the first time ,alone ? What if he is a serial killer or worse ? What if he killed me and dumps my body in a ditch ? What if he rapes me after lacing my drink with something ? ", Ron cried loudly .
Ava watched her , she was aghast with all the images that Ron was shoving down her throat .
" I will go with you ", She speedily announced.
Ron only laughed in response and swirled around , clapping a little .
" Now , go shower while I bring in my bags , hurry up , I do not have any time to waste ",She yelled before walking away .
Ava sighed and walked into the bathroom , if she did waste any moment , she could just imagine Ron coming into the shower and offering to wash her .
****************************
She had gotten out of the shower to find Ron already in a pink bikini , looking as fresh as a daisy .
She had also laid out all sorts of risque bikinis for Ava to wear and after thirty minutes of arguing , they had finally reached an impasse and she had let Ava wear a sarong over her tiny , black bikini that had been the most covering piece of all .
Ron was already on makeup , Ava drew the line at makeup , she was only there to observe not hit it up .
She left her red , wild hair down and left a scrunchie on her wrist in case her hair got too uncomfortable later on .
She finally said bye to the cats and left in Ron's red , red convertible while listening to a song about women tying up men .
They arrived at where they were headed fast enough .
It was a beautiful summer house on the outskirts of town and looked like one of those vacation homes from magazines .
She watched as Ron shakily picked her phone to call Carlos , he picked on the first ring and told her he was coming to the gate .
Ava ran her hand through her hair , she was hot already , the weather was truly unbelievable .
She was running her hand through her hair again when she saw a man coming towards them .
He was in stylish beach shorts and a matching shirt that he had left unbuttoned , showing off just how detailed and beautiful his body was.
His dark hair was standing in end like he had been running his hands through it a little too much , his plump red lips Shone in the bright sun .
Goddesses , he looked just like one of the beautiful men that Ava had always imagined touching her .
Oh gods, how was she going to explain to her best friend that the man she liked made her toes curl ,please this could not be Carlos!
