Can't Sleep... Love? (Mavi)

Night Thirty-Three

"Mitch? Are you staying over tonight or do I need to take my own car?"

We were just about to head out for the evening.

"I want to stay at home tonight but you're more than invited to stay over if you'd like!"

He grins at me. "Definitely! I'll just pack some stuff to wear to rehearsal tomorrow so we don't have to hurry in the morning" he returns and runs back into his bedroom.

"Make it quick, I still need to make myself presentable before going to the restaurant" I call up to him while putting on my shoes.

Minutes later he joins me in the living room, a duffel bag slung over this shoulder. "I'm already finished, Babe. No need to worry!"

I shove him playfully. "Ready to go?"

He nods. "Yep."

Twenty minutes later I'm standing inside my closet room to find the right outfit to wear for going out. "What do you think about that?" I hold out my first outfit of choice, a dark denim jeans with a loose fitted black shirt, out into my bedroom where Avi is cuddling with my little demon Wyatt.

"You'll look beautiful, no matter what" Avi simply returned, looking into my eyes, smiling.

"You're not helping, Avi" I say through clenched teeth.

"Hmm... Why don't you where the royal blue sweater? I really like it on you and you haven't worn it in a while" he proposes.

"You mean this one?" I hold the desired piece of clothing up and see his face light up. "That's the one!"

I nod and close the door again, putting on the clothes I finally chose and look at myself in the mirror, satisfied with the way I look.

"Beautiful" Avi comments as I walk back into the bedroom.

I can't help but laugh at the picture in front of me. Avi is lying on his side with Wyatt curled up inside the crook of his arm. He's purring loudly while Avi pets his furless head lightly. "She loves you!"

Avi chuckles. "She sure has something in for me" he returns and looks down at him.

"I can see that. But you have to say goodbye, we need to go. Tell the little devil that you'll be back soon."

I hear Wyatt meowl complaining as Avi pulls his arm away from him to get up from the bed. He grabs my hand and leads me out of the room down the stairs.

Scott, Alex, Avi and I are the first ones to arrive at the restaurant and take our seats as we're waiting for the other four chatting lightly.

"So, how did you like the date yesterday, Avi?" Scott wants to know.

"It was great! The exhibition was so amazing! They had all the mythical creatures, but the section about dragons was the best" Avi explains and I can't help but smile when I see the gleam in his eyes.

"Of course" Scott returns and smirks.

"Yeah, Mitchie really outdid himself" Avi agrees.

I feel my cheeks redden as they're talking about me in that way. "Scott helped me with the idea."

Avi giggles softly and puts an arm around me. "That doesn't matter. I had a great day with you, Babe!"

"Babe?" Alex suppresses a laugh.

I nod, feeling proud, despite Alex's comment. I know that he's only joking so I don't mind. Nevertheless I feel Avi shifting beside me. 

Scott notices and nudges his boyfriend lightly. "Leave them be, Love!"
