"Here, have some juice...for nourishment".
He smiled and frowned quickly.
"Where's Koda?"....he asked looking around, not seeing him for a while.
"He's upstairs"...she replied looking at her newly done nails.
Azai fell silent. She noticed this and quickly cleared his doubt.
"You worry too much Azai, he's just a friend you could call him a relative. He's just watching out for me that's all".
"You.... haven't visited for a while now, why is that?..." he asked sipping the juice.
"It's not like I don't have the address to your house. I'll come around some day".
"Do you remember the code"..., he asked shifting his gaze from the cup to her.
"Tsk... obviously". She sighed.
"You better", he said this to her hearing before getting up from the chair.
"Are you leaving?"....she asked looking at him.
This question didn't make sense to him. Why would he get up in the first place if he wasn't leaving and he was headed towards the door.
He nodded lightly. He was about to leave when annoying Koda decided to appear with his irritating appearance.
Azai feels very uncomfortable with him around Nyla. Because of her, he really doesn't trust him.
"You would usually stay a bit longer, why not today?"... koda asked coming out from the guest room downstairs.
Azai didn't answer this question rather he just walked out the door leaving it open but was curious, ' Nyla had said that he was upstairs'.
Koda frowned. Nyla looked at him and rolled her eyes.
He went to close the door that Azai had left wide open. When he held the door knob, he looked outside to see if he was gone, Azai looked at him through the lowered car window of his Lamborghini.
He drove slowly, deliberately to irk him and when he was gone, Koda frowned deeply and slammed the door.
He looked at Nyla furiously but she didn't care. Probably she must have entered one of his Lamborghinis.
When Azai got back home. He opened the door with the code. When he got in, the first person he saw was Ava. She was soo focused, watching a movie.
He stopped in his steps to take a closer look at her. She put a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.
He was shocked to his spine, he walked closer and slowly towards her and he saw extra two bowls which means she had just began eating.
"Did you get your heart broken?", he asked her to get her attention. She turned slowly to his direction, tears rolled down her eyes.
"Oh my goodness, Who hurt you?"... he asked walking closer to where she sat and took a seat. He looked worried, which is unusual.
She was surprised, why is he worried about her. He looked at the film she was watching, turns out it was a tragic film. He frowned deeply looking back at her.
"It's just a film", she said grinning. He stood slowly from where he sat looking at her with a narrowed brow.
"I didn't know that you care that much. I should watch more of this shouldn't I?". He glared at her this time around.
She went on mute. He headed to his room to take a shower when he heard... "If this film relates to me does that mean my tears are true?"
He stood still hearing this statement from her. He looked down at her, for a minute he was lost then continued in his steps.
Before he was out of sight, he said. "Give that to the staffs before they leave".
She was confused on what to give, she looked at what could be in her possession to give, there was nothing.
She replied shouting "what in particular?".
He came back and said, " the ice cream".... and left.
She looked at the three of them.
"I'm eating this one".
She went back to the ice cream she had already eaten and gave the staffs the other two.
Later that evening,
" I'm sorry, but I haven't heard a knock on my door, you're probably in the wrong address".
" Please send to me the address again" a man on the phone spoke.
Azai cut the call and sent the man a message.
He came downstairs to still see her watching the TV, this time a different movie and she was so engaged in it which was what bothered him.
"What's with you today are you this bored?".... he asked with a curious intent.
"I love this channel, it's..." there was a door bell.
"Who's there",.... she asked.
A male voice replied to her. She looked at Azai.
He walked to the door and opened it, there he saw the veterinarian.
He smiled, "where is he?"
"Where is who?".... she asked him getting up from the couch.
"His dog ran in through the door and jumped on him. He caught him and hugged him passionately.
Honestly, seeing him this happy and because of a dog, Ava was dumbstruck. And not just because of this but because she was scared of animals.
The dog looked in her direction. Azai looked at the dog and looked at her. She looked frightened.
"Don't move".... he quickly warned.
This statement isn't what would stop her from running far away from that animal.
She took a race to the room. Dax, the dog's name, ran after her.
Azai was in the same position he was in when the dog came in. He was speechless about what just happened.
Dax was soo close to biting her legs off, when she quickly slammed the door on his face.
She was trembling, staring intensely at the door.
He kept hitting the door trying to get to the handle but could not. She locked the door, just in case he tried to open it.
Azai came upstairs looking furious, but when he saw dax his anger subsided.
Dax is his pet for four years now but he rarely visits him. His mum calculates whose pet and how long they stay in the house.
No one's pet is to exceed one day. She doesn't like animals as well.
He roughed his fur and walked to the door. He knocked softly because he knew she was already scared.
Despite the soft knock, she still flinched when she heard the knock.
"Ava, it's me open up"....
"Is he there?".... she asked him with an unstable voice.
"Yes....now open up the door".
"Never".
