“Did you fuck him?” I growl, unable to keep the anger at bay as I think aboutmyAva underneath that douchebag.
“I don’t think that’s any of your business.”
“Don’t test me, Ava. Answer me right now.”
“Or what? God! Don’t even bother coming, I don’t want to see you.”
Click.
“Fuck!” I roar before trying to call her back. I let out a breath as I hear her voicemail start.
Twenty minutes later, I’m pulling up to the bar where Ava’s pin sent me. From the window, I see her sitting outside of the entrance on a bench, and I’m immediately out of the car before we’ve even completely slowed.
I drop to my knees in front of her as I’m worried that something’s wrong. “Ava. Look at me.” My hand finds her face, and she looks up.
“You came?” Her eyes are hazy, and I wonder if all the alcohol is catching up with her finally.
“Of course, I did. Come on, let’s go.”
She stands up, and I guide her toward the car when she stops walking. “I didn’t sleep with him.” She shakes her head, and I can’t help the feeling of relief that flows through me. “After you left, he asked if I wanted to go grab some food and talk.” She shrugs sadly. “I’m a sucker for pizza. Anyway, I didn’t realize we were going to his apartment.” I stiffen, wondering where she’s going with this story.
“Did he hurt you?” My hands find her cheeks as I stare at her perfect face.
“No,” she says sadly. “Just my feelings.” She bites her lip, and under normal circumstances it would turn me on, but the fact she’s doing it to stop the tears from falling is like a bucket of ice water on my dick.
“Come on,” I tell her as I help her into the car. I try to pull her into my lap, but she puts a hand up, stopping me from touching her further. I sigh. “What happened?”
“Why did you tell him we were sleeping together?”
I let out a deep sigh. “I… He was bragging about taking you home tonight, and I don’t know, Ava. I snapped.”
“Why do you care? You knew I was thinking about it.”
“I guess I didn’t realize you still were…,” I trail off.Ava wasn’t going to wait for you forever.
She shrugs. “I told you I wanted to lose my virginity, and you didn’t seem all too interested in making it happen anymore.”
“Trust me, Ava, I amveryinterested.”
“But…what about Tucker? I don’t want you to do something… I don’t want to jeopardize your friendship.”
“You aren’t doing anything, Ava. This isn’t on you.”
She contorts her mouth slightly. “I won’t tell him.”
“I know.” Her words about him hurting her feelings run through my head. “Tell me what Kennedy did.”
“He just…made it clear what he wanted, and I thought I wanted it too. But…it wasn’t. I want this asshole I grew up with to be my first.” She rolls her eyes. “He wasn’t too interested in my company after I told him we weren’t going there.”
“So, he just kicked you out?”
“No, I left. I was walking toward the main street to hail a cab when I called Tucker.”
“You know how I feel about you out late by yourself, and you’ve been drinking! Why do you insist on putting me in an early grave?”
She blanches. “I’m sorry.” She moves closer to me and gives me a look.
“Don’t look at me like that, Ava. I’m mad at you.”
