Part of me wanted to tell him that I'll do the cleaning myself but part of me screamed to let him help me. Holy crow! What the hell is wrong with me?!

"Um, okay." I heard myself say. I got up from my seat and walked to the kitchen with Mr Salvestro following suit.

"Oh crap!" I muttered under my breath when I saw the mess that has been made by these two. Losing no time, I grabbed a dustbin and placed it near me and began picking up the pieces of glass carefully.

"Let me pick up the pieces of glass. You can hurt yourself." Mr Salvestro said. I had completely forgotten that he was here.

"Okay." I told him, letting him do the task.

"Ava." I heard Mia say from the door. "I'm so sorry for the mess we made." She apologized looking totally embarrassed.

I was about to tell her it was fine when my eyes snapped on something that stunned me.

"Um, Mia there's a, um." I gestured to my neck hoping that she'll understand but all she did was look at me weirdly. Oh God! Now how do I tell her there's a love bite on her neck?!

"I don't understand." Mia responded narrowing her eyes in confusion.

"There's a, you know." I said pointing to her neck.

"She's saying that you've got a hickey on your neck and cover it up." Mr Salvestro said non chalantly while picking the pieces of glass making my eyes widen. Oh my God! He said this as if he was giving a weather report.

"Oh." Mia said blushing like a tomato. "Okay." She replied running away from the kitchen.

"You were shy to say that word?" I could feel a smirk in the voice of Mr Salvestro.

"What word?" I replied playing dumb. Truth be told, I was extremely bashful when it came to things like love bites or intercourse.

"Hickey." Mr Salvestro simply said making me feel even coyer.

"Um, I, no, I mean, I," I hesitated over my words, looking everywhere but him. This made me realise how uncool I was.

"Dio mio!" Mr Salvestro said in Italian. "Definitely shy." He mumbled.

"I'm not shy." I argued feeling a little bit mad at him for laughing at me. Yes, I'm slightly introvert when it comes to such things, so?!

"Really?" He asked raising his right eyebrow making him look even hotter. "So what would you do if someone had his lips on your neck and ravaging that delicate skin of yours?" He whispered huskily looking straight in my eyes making me hold my breath. The butterflies that were once away returned back making my stomach flutter.

We kept staring at each other for a while none of us breaking eye contact. "I'm still waiting for an answer, AvaGrace." Mr Salvestro uttered still holding my eyes with his.

Dam it! What should I answer to that? "I-I wo—"

"Ava, Seb, are you guys done?" Rafe shouted from the living room, cutting me from answering. Thank goodness for that. I looked at the pieces of glass. All the pieces were removed from the floor.
