The Fake Nerd

Chapter 18

Mason pov

I sit outside Ava's house trying to bolster my courage to go to the door. As much as i try to silence my feelings attempting to convince myself i don't like her it hasn't been working so far. I clear my horse throat as i take a deep breath. What's wrong with me? I open my car door sliding out trying to look cool. Her small house still guarded by her steel fence. I walk nonchalantly toward her fence trying to make myself breath. My stomach turn as i get closer to her front door. i knock loud making it demanding. I wait in the quiet expecting some type of noise, but it's deadly quiet.  I twitch on my feet anxious please be here. Please be here. The door lock clicks after a few more minutes of silence reveling a confused looking Ava. She is wearing a black tank top with gray sweats that are loosing hanging around her hips showing a line of her blue underwear. Her brown hair is matted down across her shoulders her green eyes drowsy. I had decided to go with a grey shirt with blue jeans and a leather jacket. "Hey" I say watching as she continues to stare at me. "Hi" she says seeming to almost snap out of her trance of confusion. I stand awkwardly waiting for the next word. "Wanna come in" she asks stepping back from the door making an opening for me. I nod and walk past her my arm slightly brushing against her arm. Electricity courses through me firing it's way through my whole body. I walk toward the kitchen leaving my mouth formed down in a frown. I watch her as she makes her way over toward the kitchen grabbing a cup from the top floor drawing her shirt up. She has a light bruise that sparks anger and curiosity. She fills up a cup sliding it toward me before getting another cup pouring more coffee. She sips at her coffee before bringing it down from her lips. I hold the coffee between my hands warming my fingers. "How do you know James is watching" I ask her reviewing the question that has been on my mind. She sighs and looks toward the walls an emotional that i can't quite tell. "He left a note telling me" She says as i feel a burning anger transfer through me. "He is just playing one of his mind games" she says transferring her gaze toward he coffee cup. "What did the note say" I ask trying to keep my voice calm. She shrugs and keeps her gaze away from my burning one. "Ava" I test. "It didn't say anything worth mentioning beside he is watching" she says keeping her trained gaze on the coffee cup. I shift on my feet trying to think of what to say next. "I'm sorry i blew up yesterday, but i got that note and it freaked me out" She says finally turning her gaze toward me making my stomach barf in on it's self. She is indescribable beauty. Stop being such a nerd mason i snap at myself. Ava is my weakness and i know it. She will be the end of me.
