"I want green tea, with the ginger straw and fruit in it. Iced." Ava glances over at Seth.
"What would you like?" He looks at the menu. The menu is a digital chalkboard. It keeps this place looking modern, but they do try to give it a hometown vibe. There is a club above it, owned by them. It's full of neon light and rich men, with Karen's girls. Karen's husband owns this building.
"Chi with your fresh BlackBerry two pumps of chocolate and blended with ice." Ava looks at him with pure shock.
"I honestly thought you were going to order something plain." Ava blushes as she leans in to say.
"Normally, I would but this place is organic and I am a person who likes to try new things." Ava giggles as she hands her card over to the barista.
"What is your name so we can call you up when your beverages are done." Ava gives her Seth's name.
"Your order will be in a few Mr. And Mrs. Guard." They both give her a stunning look. Shock is etched across both of their faces.
"We are not married. We are just friends at the moment." The barista smirks at them.
"Another Shawn and Camila." She shakes her head giving Ava back her card.
"Who are Shawn and Camila?" Seth asks causing Ava to roll her eyes.
"They are pop singers who literally jump and grind on each other and still claim to be just friends. They were here a week ago playing with each other under a booth. Her foot was in his groin the whole time. I don't know about you but I don't run my feet over my guy friend's junk." This causes Ava to snort.
"You say we're just friends, but friends don't know how you to taste la la la," Ava sings the tune.
"Yeah, that video made what they do in public look like child's play. They were all over each other." Ava smiles to herself.
She has worked with Camila before, she has a habit of using the men in her life and sucking them dry until no one cares about the relationship. Then she dumps them. She is very subtle about getting attention. If she wasn't friends with benefits with Shawn honestly no one would care who she was sharing a bed with.
The more attention the more fame, the more fame equals more money. They originally started the fling as a publicity stunt. Shawn has always been into her, he admits it all the time. Ava thinks to herself, he's just a man in love with someone looking to use him as a stepping stone. Imagine if she broke it off and made him look like trash, most of his fan base is girls and females tend to take sides with other females. Especially over men.
Seth gives Ava a look from across the booth. She is too busy thinking about worst-case scenarios.
"Hey, what's on your mind?" Ava gets back into reality. Blinking away her worries she looks at him.
"Just thinking about a messy case." The barista walks over with the drinks and Ava quickly gets to work on drinking her ice tea.
"Mmm, this is so good." Ava takes another sip.
Seth takes one sip and moans.
"Glad to know, you don't just make those sounds in bed." Ava teases causing him to take a sip out of his drink to glare at her through his thick dark lashes.
"I was going to share this with you but just for that naughty comment. I am not sharing." Ava smiles.
"I will remember to spit in your food." His face scrunches up in disgust.
"Oh come on the sounds you make are sexy as hell. Remember, last night I have no complaints about what we did. I had been three years since the last time I have slept with someone if I am going, to be honest. If I continue to be honest with and keep this conversation going. You are the biggest I have ever had." This causes both of them to turn crimson at her admission.
"We have known each other for a day and a half. I feel like it's been a lifetime. I feel confident to confide in and talk to you. I am a bit prickly when it comes to getting to know people. With you, there is no bullshit." Ava blushes at his kind words.
"Aw, so when are we eloping?" He smirks at Ava as she says this gazing into her honey eyes.
"I am down we can take my private jet and go to Vegas." He chuckles making Ava ugly laugh.
"You are a funny man Guard. I honestly thought you were going to be one of those men, who are panty-dropping sexy but walk around like they have a stick up their ass. You are yourself, thank you." As Ava says this he looks down at his watch he then looks back up at Ava.
"Thank you would you like to take a sip?" He slides his drink over to Ava.
"One sip, that is all I have to maintain this body the best I can." He smiles at her comment as she takes a sip.
"You work out?" Ava smiles as she moans a little because of how damn good his damn drink is.
"Mmmm mmmm mmmm. That is so good the fruit adds the right kick to it." He smiles how is your drink.
"Boring." She laughs, "but t also will not clog my arteries." He smiles and then cracks a laugh.
"Where is Bear?" Seth asks Ava frowns a bit.
"At home, I had my assistant take him home because after that little incident I wanted to take a safe trip home. Bear is cute as hell but can be your new ferocious beast at times. Also, I am his mom so he is very territorial with me. He may be small but he is a big warm white bundle of love. Don't worry though when we get back to my place I will introduce you as my friend and give you the treat to give him. He'll learn to love you." Ava laughs a bit at his reaction.
"That fluffy little mongrel is not dangerous. The worst damage he can do is pee on my shoe." He says this laughing.
"Just wait once my ex came home drunk after already being separated for like a year. He tried to have sex with me. Bear was just a pup. He tore the hell out of him and gave me enough wiggle room to call the police and file a restraining order." Ava frowns at this memory.
"I am sorry you were ever with a shit guy like that. You deserve more." Ava smiles.
"I wish I would have realized that sooner but I learned a few valuable lessons." Seth smiles a bit at her.
"Come on I am hungry. Let's go and eat." They both stand up from the booth.
"Are you cooking or do you want a burger?" Ava taps on her chin as if she is debating on something.
"Hmmm have a greasy sandwich or my famous chicken parmesan. I don't know about you but home-cooked meal reins superior in my book. Fast food is bad for the heart, a home-cooked meal warms it." This causes Seth to laugh a bit.
"I have never met a girl so passionate about chicken parmesan. You can't lie a burger and fries a perfect comfort food." Ava smiles up at him.
"I am passionate about it now because I haven't eaten since noon and it is six. I was going to take you someplace fancy for our meeting but I know a bar where we can rent out an area. Have beer fries d burgers." He holds his heart as he has just taken a blow. Ava giggles at him.
"Oh my God, you are ly too good to me." He says mimicking a valley girl. Ava bursts out laughing and Seth looks at her like all his past success is nothing compared to being the one who can make Ava laugh and smile.
"Oh, it's totally like not like a big deal. Like really." Ava says doing the same impression. His gaze travels to her lips and before Ava can resist the temptation she is on her tippy toes running her hands through his hair. She pulls him into a kiss.
It's a kiss that leaves them breathless. His lips are so soft and she tastes green tea and honey.
"Looks like this booth is a kissing booth. I wonder who to give my wallet to for that kiss." Ava blushes at his comment and laughs a bit.
"I am sorry if I read the situation wrong." He laughs at her apology.
"Trust me you did what I have been thinking about all day." Ava blushes as they grab their ice-cold beverages. They leave hand in hand walking next to one another as if they were a couple.
