Over the past few days, Jace and Avery grew closer than they already were. It's been two days since they went for that dinner and ice cream.
Avery hanged out a lot with Nigel, Sean and a woman whose name was Kara. Kara was Sean's girlfriend and she was a cool person to hang out with. The moment her and Avery met, they got along well.
Angelica did apologize for the way she behaved with Avery even though Avery clearly told her to stay away from her. Even though Avery didn't forgive her, she did tell her to stay away from her one more time.
Avery even met Angelica's child. She had a daughter whose name was Rhea. Angelica brought her to the base for a few minutes so that she could drop her to school after.
Anbelica told Avery her life story. She told Avery that boyfriend had his fun with her but he left her when he found out about her being pregnant.
She had no money, she was on her own until she met Jace who offered her a job. She worked hard for it and managed to be successful. She was providing a good life for her child despite what job she was doing.
Avery and Rhea got along pretty well. Rhea was only six years old and Avery found out that Angelica was only twenty eight years old.
After spending a whole day at the Italian-American Mafia base, Avery grabbed her car keys and went outside.
She was walking towards the car when she saw Jace leaning against the wall outside and smoking.
Avery walked towards Jace to say goodbye. But before she could say anything, Jace beat her to it,
"What are you doing here? It's nine fucking thirty!"
"Relax! I just came to see Kara, Nigel, Sean— and you but you weren't there so I spent the day with them. Where were you?" Avery asked, curiously.
"I was taking care of some…things." He replied, not wanting to give her much details. Jace found something about Avery but he didn't want to tell her just yet —not until he was sure about it himself.
"Right...I'm going back home now. Good night." Avery said and turned around to leave but before she could take another step, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him.
He stared into her eyes for what felt like eternity before he smashed his lips on hers. It took a few seconds for Avery to understand what was happening.
Jace's hands rested on her waist as she began to kiss him back.
"You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do this—" he mumbled in between the kiss.
"Actually, I might have a slight idea." She replied as they continued their small make out session.
"Trust me, you don't." He said to which she replied, "Tell me then."
"Ever since I fucking laid my eyes on you, love." He replied which gave her a weird feeling which she guessed would be what they call butterfly in the stomach.
