I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away.

"So you bumped into him how many times now?" Ava asked me while searching my closet when I smiled to myself, feeling butterflies at the mention of him.
"Um—Twice at the café, and then at the club, then at Lauren's birthday dinner." I started counting on my fingers, cringing at how many times this happened.
"Who's Lauren?" She asked.
"A friend. And then in the morning here a while back, so that's—"
"Five times now, wow." Dan walked in with a big smile, pecking Ava's cheek before grinning at me.

"Nuh-uh." I said, shaking my head. "I haven't fallen for him."
"Yet." Ava said. What's with everyone saying yet when it comes to him?
"Are you sure about this guy?" Daniel looked at me concerned. "I mean he looks kinda—"
"Intimidating? Dangerous? Bossy? I'm sure." I smiled at him and he nodded with a sheepish smile.
"It's just that I was talking to Kade the other day and he had some concerning things to say about him. They're neighbours after all." Daniel said with a frown and I furrowed my eyebrows, crossing my arms over my chest.

"He said he saw many girls going there and coming out the next day crying usually. And his extra large security detail and everything, something about him being really important and dangerous? I'm a bit worried, that's all." He said and I nodded slowly.
"I get what you mean. He's someone important in the business industry so he has all that security team tagging along with him. But I'll ask him, okay?" I told him and he gave me a small smile.
"Alright, well have fun. But not too much!" He ruffled my hair and went out as I laughed, just as Ava came out from my closet.
"What was he saying?" She asked and I shook my head.
"Nothing much, he was just asking about Nico." I told her and she nodded, handing me the outfit she picked.
"Anyway, here you go. This should be perfect." I took the clothes from her and headed to change. Quickly putting on my clothes, I went out and twirled for Ava.
"How do I look?" I asked her smiling and she clapped her hands.
