"Her boyfriend?"
There was a tense moment of silence in the room as the two men engaged in a staring contest.
Josh was standing and looking down at Rocky, who held his ground firmly, holding the other man's gaze defiantly. Ava looked back and forth between the two of them, not exactly understanding what was up with them. In fact, Ava thought that she could see the lightening sparkles meeting in the middle for both of them.
"Yes! Her boyfriend!" Josh repeated with a smug look. He could tell from the eyes of the newcomer that he was smitten with his girl. It was not so surprising for him as she was beautiful enough to attract many, but it was how Ava treated the young man that had alarm bells ringing in his head. Besides, who called himself 'Rocky' anyway? Was that supposed to be the name of a man or a dog?
