“She’s the one who was stalking my brother back in Boston. The chick has some serious issues,” Gabriel spoke.
“Do you think she wants to move here because of you?” Sam asked.
“That’s my guess. She asked me to have dinner with her. I told her I was seeing someone, and she didn’t seem happy about that.”
“What do you need me to do?” Simon asked. “Warn her, threaten her? Anything you need, just say the word.”
“I’m hoping she’ll just leave me the hell alone,” I said. “Especially since she knows I’m seeing someone.”
“Did you tell Ava?” Christian asked.
“No, and I don’t want her knowing or worrying about it.” I took a drink of my beer. “I wanted to let you guys know that you’ll be seeing Ava around a lot more. She’s staying at my house for a while.”
“Damn.” Simon laughed. “That didn’t take long.”
“She’s only staying because her friend, Hannah, invited some guy she’s seeing to crash at the apartment.”
“And you suggested she stay with you?” Gabriel asked.
“Yeah. She didn’t feel comfortable with him staying there.” I glanced at him. “How are the plans coming along for the gala?” I asked Shaun.
“They’re coming along great.” He grinned. “Selena is doing an amazing job.”
“Is she bitching?” Jackson asked.
“Always.” Shaun smiled. “But my day wouldn’t be complete if she didn’t storm into my office with an attitude.”
We all laughed.
“It’s been fun, fam, but I’m going to grab my girl and go home.” I stood up from my chair.
“Did you hear that?” Sam asked. “He said ‘his girl.’”
“I didn’t say that.” I smirked as I walked away and headed to Shaun’s house.
“Good thing I didn’t have the balls to shoot down Cupid when he came knocking on your door,” Simon shouted.
I chuckled as I shook my head. Opening the sliding door, I stepped into Jenni and Shaun’s house and saw the girls gathered in the living room. A smile crossed my lips when I saw Ava sitting on the couch, holding Stella, and bouncing her on her knee.
“I’m heading back to the house,” I told Ava.
“And?” Jenni looked at me.
“I was hoping Ava would like to come back with me.”
“She’s having fun with us, Grayson,” Grace said.
“I’m happy to hear that, but I was going to draw her a nice hot bubble bath and pour her a glass of wine.” A smirk crossed my lips.
“Would you be joining me?” Ava smiled.
“What do you think?”
“Give me my baby and go.” Jenni grinned as she held out her arms. “We wouldn’t want to be responsible for holding up sexy time with this fine doctor. Right girls?”
“Right,” they all spoke at the same time.
Ava laughed as she handed Stella to Jenni. “I’ll talk to you girls later.”
