“And have it get back to Kennedy?”
“Ava, I don’t know what to tell you; I’m not taking you to a bar to help you find someone to take home. My duties of looking after you do not extend to getting you laid.”
“Well, that wasn’t exactly what I was asking….,” she trails off. “I don’t want to have sex with some random guy; that’s how you get killed! I’m not interested in being the inspiration for some Lifetime movie, Jackson.”
“Well, that’s good. I don’t want you out there having one-night stands. That’s not for you.”
“I agree. I want someone … I trust.”
I nod.
“And who knows what they’re doing.”
I nod again. “Both important.”
“Someone who will show me the ropes. A… sexual tutor of sorts.”
“Well, go find a human sexuality major at NYU.”
I look over at her, and her bottom lip has popped out slightly as she stares at me with her infamous puppy dog eyes, and in that moment, I know what she’s asking.
What the fuck?
She wants ME to take her virginity? That can’t be what she’s asking?
No way.
“Absolutely fucking not, Ava.” I can’t ignore the stirring in my pants at the thought, but I will it back down.There was no way I was sleeping with T’s sister.
“WHY!?” she whines.
“Because you’re— and… I… Ava, no.” My mind is scattered, and I would attribute it to all of the alcohol we’ve consumed, but since Ava’s proposition I’ve felt myself sobering up by the second.
“But…” She bites her bottom lip, and I have to look away.She’s a little seductress, and she doesn’t even know it.“I’m nervous. And I’ve waited this long already. If I sleep with someone now, they’ll think I’m some sort of freak because I’ll have no idea what the hell I’m doing.”
“No one will think you’re a freak, Ava. It’s endearing that you waited this long.”
And frankly shocking as fuck. She’s beautiful. Guys have to have been sniffing around her for years. And she didn’t let anyone in? Any guy would be lucky to be the recipient of her virginity.
She contorts her lips into a pout and taps her fingers against the bar. “I understand if you don’t want to. I mean, you could have any girl you want. I’m sure I’m not high on your list of desirable candidates.”
“I wish you wouldn’t talk about yourself like that. You are beautiful and enticing. But you’re also…” I let out a breath trying to control the raging hormones inside of me that have been going haywire ever since Ava alluded to me taking her virginity. “You’re my best friend’s little sister.”
“So? I wasn’t suggesting wetellhim.”
“I held you when you were born.”
“Well, it’s been a long time since then.”
“Your parents see me like a second son…”
“We aren’t related,” she argues back.
I rub my hands together, wondering how many excuses I can come up with and how many reasons she’ll have to shut them down. “I don’t want to hurt you,” I whisper, knowing that of all the excuses I could give, that was the most important one.
She shrugs. “Then don’t.”
