Ava stood up from the bed to go downstairs.
Dax looked at her, when she got to the stairs, he stood up and followed after her.
She looked at the door. Looking around, she searched the room for a pin, when she found one, she opened the door.
She placed the pin at the top. If anyone was here and attempted to come in again, she would hear the sound of a pin drop.
She placed the pin, closed the door and ran in to hide. She and dax stayed there for hours. She had dozed off a few times but Dax would wake her up.
By four in the morning, the pin dropped. She thought it was the staffs who have arrived, probably they're here to work. But when she checked the time on the clock it was four.
She and dax ran outside to see who it was.
There was no one but they both heard the screeching sound from a car. This provoked her.
She looked at dax, he looked tired. She walked with him to the couch, he looked at her and looked upstairs.
She said to him, "You either sleep with us in the room or you stay with me".
She gave him options to pick from.
He barked towards the stairs.
"What?".... she exclaimed.
"Wait, you want to stay with him, what about me?"....
He barked at her and ran upstairs. She was unhappy. She had suddenly approved of him staying in the house.
When she got to the room, he was already in Azai's embrace. She sighed and went to bed. Her eyes fleet open again, not once but twice.
She thought, if the intruder already knew the pass code, are they safe?....
She went back downstairs to sleep there. At least, if they got her kidnapped, the dog knew what happened. She slept on the couch till morning.
"Miss, miss, She's not waking up. Miss"
Azai came downstairs to see her asleep on the couch. He immediately felt embarrassed.
He quickly ran to her, the servants cleared the way for him to go through but instead he looked at them.
"What are you doing here?.... What are you looking at?". "Get to work"..., the head servant ordered coming out from amongst them.
"Tch...."
He touched her on the legs to wake her up but she didn't. He patted her a few times but she didn't budge.
He carried her from the couch, she held onto him with her arms wrapped around his neck. He raised her up, slightly higher than before and dropped her back on the couch.
She fell back on the couch and fell to the ground.
She covered her eyes to stop the direct light rays from disturbing her sight.
"What was that for?". She asked after getting herself.
"Why did you sleep in the living room?, Is it because dax decided to stay inside so you decided to leave."
She couldn't tell him what happened last night so she lied.
"I don't like animals and he made his way into the room, I had to leave. If it means staying away from him I will".
He was angered by her statement, "he's leaving anyways".
She was shocked and unhappy at the same time hearing that. She just got to know him. "He's leaving today?".... she asked to confirm if her ears betrayed her.
"If you hear a knock on the door, it's the veterinarian. He's coming to take him away".
"When will he come back?...." she asked with concern that escaped his notice.
"I don't know. why do you care?", he muttered.
He went back upstairs to check up on dax. Dax laid on the ground beside the couch.
He took some pictures of him and dax before he leaves.
She heard a door bell. She went to have a look when she saw who it was, it was the vet.
The vet was quite younger than expected. He was still a teen. Dax ran all the way from upstairs. She looked at him running and headed towards her.
Her fear of animals came back but she dissipated it quickly.
He hugged her and she hugged him back.
He barked and licked her face. That was something she isn't going to get used to.
When she saw Azai coming, she pushed him away. He obeyed her and released from her embrace.
She opened the door for the vet when dax ran to the vet, waggling its tail, being all over him.
He smiled at the dog, quickly looking at Ava. Not thinking much nor asking questions
" I'll be taking him ". She picked up her phone from the couch and took a secret photo of him.
Azai saw this. He walked slowly to her, seizing her phone, he fell it to the ground intentionally but it wasn't damaged.
She looked up at him. His reason was, "You never liked him".
He rubbed dax's fur and left. She picked up the phone and took more pictures of him.
She took the vets contact, telling him to update her on dax's health and send her some pictures.
At first he thought she was weird but she only cared for him. She had wanted to offer to give him some cash to carry out this task but he didn't ask so she didn't bother.
"Bye." The vet waved at her. The dog barked at her. She lifted her leg to hit him and he ran back and forth, slowly making his way back to her.
She laughed till she closed the door then she frowned. She went to go see Azai.
When she got there he was already dressed up to leave the house.
"Where are you headed?". she asked closing the door.
He looked at the closed door and looked at her.
"I'm going to go meet someone". "Who is it?". She asked crossing her arms.
He sighed and walked to the door. He left the room without saying a thing.
She went into the bathroom to go take a bath. She took her time knowing that no one was waiting for her to get out.
But when she was done, the towel was a little bit wet so she waited for a while to let it dry.
Azai arrived at Nyla's. He rang the bell. He waited for a few minutes before she opened up the door.
He tried hugging her, but as usual she kept ignoring him. "You're here this early, what happened?".
"Nothing. I'm sorry I didn't reply to your text yesterday".
"You were busy". She asked walking to the fridge.
"Yeah.... kind of"
"Doesn't matter, here...." she offered him water to drink.
"I haven't had breakfast". He said to get attention.
"Oh my gosh, I....I'm sorry I didn't have breakfast too and I don't have anything to give to you".
"It's okay". He said to calm her down. "We could go out to have breakfast. I haven't done that before though".
"Me too.... let's go". "There would be no need for that". Koda said coming in through the main entrance.
"I bought us some breakfast". "Why?", Azai asked furiously. "What's in it?", Nyla asked curiously.
Azai and Nyla both asked different questions.
But Koda answered Nyla's instead, "It's pasta".
"I hate pasta". Azai said looking at the package, picking up the bottle of water that Nyla had offered earlier.
