The drive was short and silent, but it was a comforting silence for them. Ava watched the city fly by.
Taylor has a tutor who teaches her for kindergarten, they have playgroups too.
Ava takes up the driving as soon as we get Taylor, who is exhausted in her car seat.
"I'm sleepy. Nap Time was scary," she explains pouting.
"So, Mommy said you could spend the night with me if you want." Taylor's smile beams.
"Oh, my goodness. Could I Aunt Ava, you are my favorite person in the whole wide world. Seth, she is as pretty as a real Princess. I should know, I met them all and had tea." Ava blushes and they giggle.
"Yeah, you tried convincing Micky to date me since I had Minnie Mouse ears on." Taylor laughs a bit her cheeks turning pink.
"Haha. It was not my fault Prince Eric was gay." This comment causes Seth to laugh.
"Does the little mermaid know?" Seth asks with pure amusement.
"No, it's a secret don't tell, no one. Shhhh." She says leaning over, Ava looks at them with a smile. She sneaks glances at them every moment she can.
"Okay, if kids are this cute I want like ten." Ava's heart stops for a moment and then continues beating at a fast pace. Seth just said something that brought so much relief to her.
"Aunt Ava you should have a baby, so I can play with her. It would be like a real-life baby doll." Seth smiles at this comment while Ava blushes. This relationship with Seth is less than normal. It was meant to be a one-night stand, but Ava actually can see herself falling for him.
"Seth and I haven't been together long, we have hardly had a proper date. Babies are a topic for later. I am still getting to know him, so far he hasn't been that bad. Yet." Ava winks at him in the mirror.
"You should take her out to a fancy restaurant, I do makeup well." Ava rolls her eyes hoping Taylor doesn't get the idea to put another red lipstick all over her face.
"I could do your makeup, Seth. Oh, can I paint your nails? Pretty please?" She begs to give him the puppy dog eyes. Seth gets flustered not knowing what to say, but as soon as her lip starts to quiver, he breaks. The business shark breaks from one lip quiver from a 5-year-old girl.
"Fine, but no glitter," Seth says making Taylor throw her hands up and say, "Yay!"
Ava pulls into a McDonald's, and Taylor looks at the place in awe. This is her favorite fast-food restaurant, she knows Mom and Aunt Ava are getting yucky Chinese food. Taylor has taste buds like her father, picky as hell but by some miracle, Ava's cooking is her favorite.
"Can I get a large fry, a mcflurry with Oreo, and a cheeseburger plain? Oh, I want a toy, what do they have?"
"Frozen 2." She says pulling up to order.
Ava orders and pays for the food.
"Now, if Seth sees you take one bite of that mcflurry then you will not and I mean will not be doing anything fun at my place." If Ava would not put her foot down like that Taylor would have eaten the mcflurry and complained when told to eat that she was not hungry.
Right next to McDonald's is the Chinese restaurant that Ava and Becky love, Ava sits there waiting for their massive order.
"Here is the plan, I will go in and place our order. Seth, I will call you and ask you what you would like. Taylor hates it in there, I'll tell you why later." Ava gets out of the car and grabs Taylor.
"Never mind, you can look at all the fish. Come on Seth you will adore this place once you have tried it." Seth smirks looking at her ass as he walks behind her
"Welcome to the Ming-dins Chinese restaurant. Is this order for here or to go?" The new employee asks.
"To go, please. I am friends with Benny." Ava explains just as Benny walks out." His arms open wide.
"It's Ava, our gorgeous Ava." He hugs her.
"This one's a keeper." He whispers toward Seth.
"Without your help, my ex would have turned my family restaurant into a chicken shack." He grabs one of Ava's hands.
"These hands and that mind work magic," Benny explains making, Ava blush.
"We came for a massive order." His eyes widen as he grabs a pad of paper.
"Won ton soup, all flavors of chicken you have, egg rolls, veggie rice, chicken fried rice. Lots of honey sesame chicken. Chow mein. I think that's it unless Seth wants something added." She turns to him and he looks deep in thought. She snaps her fingers in front of his face. Leaning into his warmth, she kisses his cheek.
"I think he is fine. Let's go see the fish." Both Seth and Taylor grab Ava's hands.
They reach the tank and Taylor starts talking to the fish, she makes faces and Ava smiles at how silly, she is being. Ava can feel Seth's hot gaze on her. She turns to him and asks, "What?"
"You are a wonderful woman. For a rich girl, your heart seems to gain more than your bank account." Both of them, laugh at his statement.
"When money becomes all that you are then that is when you should get worried. I may have nice things, but I would give it all away for the people I love." Ava explains this as he looks at her in Awe. Ava looks back at him and blushes.
"Ava look at that big ugly bluefish." Ava looks, the fish looks normal. She turns to Taylor.
"What makes the fish ugly?" It doesn't take long for Taylor to answer Ava.
"He's blue." Ava kisses her cheek and holds her watching all the little fish swim by.
