Chapter 34. Because you're so hot!
Ava got home in the company of the duo unaware of what she has made them feel. Mrs Bateman was at the front door, seated on a stool with her phone tablet in hand. Ava was surprised to see her mom in front of the house. Mom never sits there at this hour, so why's she there?, Ava asked herself.
The trio finally arrived at the front door, their shadows that was casted on the ground distracting Mrs Bateman from her tablet. She tore her eyes away from the tablet and looked up.
"Mom", Ava called, her voice hoarse from crying. It was so rough that Mrs Bateman noticed it in an instant. Shocked to her marrows, she dropped the tablet on the racket chair that was next to her and stood.
"My baby", she muttered.
"Mom, why are you outside?", she asked trying her best to look cool in front of her mom. The drama that happened at school today was quite interesting but she didn't want to let her mom on it.
"Ava, what happened to you?", she asked. Her voice was stern but filled with concern that wasn't concealed. She had noticed the swollen eyes and her bandaged feet.
"Mom, can we talk inside? Alex and Daisy needs to head home".
Mrs Bateman finally looked away from her daughter. She smiled gratefully at them. "You two should join us for dinner. We're yet to have ours".
Daisy and Alex looked at themselves and then at Ava. Ava heaved a helpless sigh.
"Just come in", she said and began going inside.
The duo walked in after her followed by a smiling Bateman at the new set of people that came to her house.
"Feel at home everyone", Mrs Bateman said her voice a happy cheer. "I will whip up something for us to eat".
Ava eyed her mom and went upstairs leaving Daisy and Alex downstairs.
"Wow", Daisy sighed. "I can't believe this".
"It doesn't matter. We could help out in the kitchen", Alex said.
"We?", Daisy asked with her brows arched. "Who's we? You know I'm bad in that part of the house".
"Yeah. It's not like you're doing the cooking. You're just helping".
"Well, you're proficient in that aspect. You go there, I will be somewhere else", Daisy said and stood.
"Where do you wanna be?"
"I'm going to spend time with Ava. She's not feeling too well".
Without waiting for him to talk, she went upstairs.
Alex stood there as some kind of jealousy brewed in him. He couldn't stop her though. With that fueled heart grimacing in a want for his own, he walked to the kitchen.
Ava had just slipped off her singlet and was left in her bra and panties when a knock came on the door. She furrowed her brows.
"Mom?"
"No, it's Daisy", the crisp voice said from the other side of the door.
"Oh...come on in Daisy", she said.
Daisy squeaked the door open and walked in. She was greeted with that austere fragrance which was neither masculine nor feminine. It smelled like olives which was calming an inviting. That was the scent that Ava always carried. Nothing heavy at all. She was so...cool.
Daisy wasn't expecting her to be in her undies and was alarmed when she saw her in that. "Hey Ava!", she yelled and turned around.
Ava arched a brow. "What's up Daisy? Never seen a woman in her undies?"
"That's on TV. I've never seen one in real life", she said trying to adjust herself. Her breath was in disarray and she wasn't thinking straight. Sh didn't want to say something wrong. She was also afraid that Ava might notice.
"Well, here's one", she chuckled and began preparing for shower. "Did you go to a Catholic school or something?"
"Not really...yeah, I did", she stuttered. This earned her a bite on her lips from herself for being clumsy.
"Well...you better get used to it", she said and walked towards the bathroom.
Daisy finally turned around only to be met by a nude Ava untying her hair and walking towards the bathroom. Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Blushingly, she walked the bed and grabbed a pillow, shooting it at Ava's direction. Ava saw it early and caught the pillow in her hands.
"What's wrong?"
"Why can't you be sacred for once? Don't you have shame?!", Daisy yelled with a red face.
Ava noticed her face and came close to the bed with her nude body. "Your all red. You shy? Your a woman yourself. Why be like that?"
Because you're so hot!, she screamed. In her mind.
"Come on Daisy. Didn't know you could be like this".
"Yeah. I'm like that. Now get into that bathroom and stop flapping things around", she said giving her peaches a second look.
Ava chuckled and sashayed to the bathroom.
Daisy swallowed and lay on the bed to calm herself down. Sh couldn't be found out by Ava. And also, Ava like Kyle. There was no way she would look at her. She needed to get rid of this feelings but how would she do it?
