Within The Shadows.✅ (WLW)

14 | Ava

I was busy making hot chocolate for us because I know how cranky Mel gets in the morning. When I hear a thump followed by a "Fuck!"

As I burst into the room, I saw her on the floor tangled up in her duvet " Are you okay?" I ask her between laughs. In return, I just get a glare.

"Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." I tease her while leaning on her bedroom door frame. God, she must have a killer hangover.

"I have a fucking hangover and I just fell on my face, so sorry if I'm a bit cranky." She says sarcastically while walking past me to the kitchen.

Following her to the kitchen, just staring at her. After she takes a sip, I can hear her moan and I have to stop myself from thinking dirty thoughts.

"I can see you still need your hot chocolate in the morning. I mean you have 4 bottles on the shelves." She just nods and drinks her hot chocolate.

"Okay so...now that I have my hot chocolate, what did I do last night." She asks me, and I can tell she is nervous to hear. So, I decided to play a little with her, seeing as she doesn't remember there is no help telling her about the almost kiss.

"Ohh...umm nothing much. You know you just declared your undying love for me." I say, trying to sound as serious as possible.

"Oh my god, WHAT?!" She says, and it looks like she is going to faint.

And I just couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I'm joking, you should have seen your face." Relief flushes over her face. And I could see a tint of pink cover her cheeks.

"It's not funny, you almost gave me a heart attack for God's sake." She says and throws a spoon at me. She just threw a fucking spoon at me.

"Oh, you are going to pay for that," I say and just like that, I'm chasing her around her small apartment.

Eventually, I tackled her to the ground, and we were just laughing. When our laughter dies down, we just stare at each other.

God, why does she have to be so beautiful without effort?

Clearing her throat. "I...we should finish up." She says standing up. But I just roll over on my back.

When I heard the shower running, I decided to make breakfast.

"Oh my God Ava what are you doing? You know you can't cook." She says while turning the stove off.

"Hay, I tried okay." I try to apologize. Yeah, you guessed it, I burnt the fucking eggs.

"Why don't you go take a shower, you reek. I will clean up here and then we can go out for breakfast okay."

With that, I head off to the shower. Shit, it's been 5 years, and I still couldn't even fucking cook eggs.

Walking into the bathroom, I am hit with Mel's cent. Remember how I used to tell her all the time how much I loved how she smelled?

"What do you mean why? And would you stop screaming in my ear?" I can hear her say when I walk into the kitchen after my shower. Look Ava and I are going out for breakfast at Kate's, want to join?"

After she said bye to Anna, we headed out. But she heads in the opposite direction. I frown but follow her.

"Ohh hell no. I'm not getting with you on that death machine." I say when I see she is with a motorbike.

"Well, you don't know where to go, and you wouldn't be able to keep up, so you don't have a choice." She says, with a smirk.

Fuck that attitude, is so sexy.
