Will

Avery's hiding something from me. I know it's about Damon. Everytime she hears his name, she shifts uncontrollably in her seat and reach for my hand. I know she loves me but she loves him too. She knows something we don't. I don't want to push her, I don't dare to ask. She is incredibly smart and a fucking good liar, too. I know that if I ask her, she'll laugh in my face. Something is wrong and I have to find out.

She just came back from the studio. She is wearing leggings with a white tank top. Along with a towel behind her neck as she's wiping her face. I can see her tan stomach and god her fucking hair is in a pony tail. I just want to hit it from the back and pull on her hair. She'd look so good with me pounding into her. My little liar. She chugs her water, maybe she gave it a try today. That's my girl.
Avery walks to Michael and I, I grab her waist and sit her on my thigh. She chuckles as I kiss her neck. She pushes my head away, knowing I can taste her. She smells and tastes good. Her sweet profane is addictive.

''Do you like the studio, Av?'' Michael asks, taking a sip of his drink. Avery sighs and wipes her forehead before answering.

''Yeah, it's amazing'' she sounds out of breath. Okay, she did give it a try today. Is this why she seems so happy? It looks good on her. I love it.

''Rika doesn't want me to ask you but I will'' Avery narrows her eyes. She's too aware of her surroundings. Something is up with her.

''What is it?'' she chuckles, nervously. What's happening inside her head? I grab her hand and she squeezes it, hard. I don't think she realizes she does.

''Well, I mean, could we see you d-dance?'' Michael stutters. He stares ahead behind us. We both twist our head and spot Rika with her arms crossed over her chest. She smiles and walks to us, smiling.

''Uhhh'' Rika glances at both of them and then she stares at me. Is she asking me permission?

''Yeah, I mean why not'' I kiss her cheek and wrinkle my nose. Michael shrugs and Rika just stands there, watching us.

''OK, Kai told me to get you guys. Let's go'' she grabs Michael's arm and we follow behind them. She's whispering to him and she often glances at Avery. She, on the other hand, grabs my arm and holds it close to her. She closes her eyes as we walk. Something she's been doing a lot these times.

''Baby, you okay?'' I whisper as we reach Kai's desk. She opens her eyes, her sweet fake smile on her face and nods. What the hell is going on?

''Hey what's going on?'' Michael asks and I spot the girl. Gabriel's assistant. Earlier she was dressed like a boy but this is even worse. She would be beautiful if she would show a bit her skin. As I said. She's a feminist.

''Gabriel's assistant has come with a proposition'' Kai fills us in. We nod and Avery bites her lip. What the hell is wrong with her?

''Hi'' Rika slowly walks to Banks. Oh-Oh.

''I am Erika fane'' Banks looks her up and down. Rika offers her hand but Banks doesn't take it. Rika turns to us, frowning. We ignore what just happened and walk to the table. Banks is... Weird. I don't know. Do I know her? She seems familiar.

We all sit down at the table. Only Banks is standing up. She pulls something out of her jacket which seems to be a picture. Kai takes it and glances at us, confused. We all are.
