The Billionaire's Golden Girl

Chapter Twelve

Ava walks over to Seth and smiles.
"You look cute as hell with that pout, but don't let her get to you, she's five." He smiles at Ava's words.

"I'm just teasing her, she seems important to you and this is a fun way of building a relationship." Ava's right eyebrow shoots up as he says that.

"How does teasing work with a child? I get the whole show no mercy part. But this is just crazy. If she thinks you are a bad kisser, let her." His smile stays as is as she says this.

"Let's hope you don't think that about me." He says intertwining their fingers.

"I'd say you are good at a lot of things Mr. Guard." He gazes into her eyes and smirks.

"What kinds of things Ms. Willows?" He asks as Ava nibbles the corner of her lip suggestively.

"Well, there is this one thing that you're good at, " Ava leans in. "Your magazines and Buildings are to die for, now how about you give me a good kiss. For Taylor's sake so she stops poking fun at you." His gaze travels to Ava's lips as she says this.

"Yeah, for Taylor's sake." His hand brushes over Ava's face as he leans in to kiss her. It's as if the world has stopped when they do. Ava runs her hands into his hair as the kiss gets more intense.

"Mommy mommy he ain't a bad kisser, look, mommy." Ava and Seth break apart and smile. They look over at Taylor.

"Aunt Ava he is your prince, you are going to have a fancy castle and have a happily ever after like cinderella. You even have blonde hair. Oh and sorry Seth for saying you're a bad kisser. If you keep kissing her like that you will give her all your cooties and she will fall in love with you." Her eyebrows wiggle up and down causing everyone to laugh.

"Well, it's true." She crosses her arms and starts holding her breath. Taylor's face begins to turn red. She takes a breath and then screams running out of the room embarrassed that they all laughed at her.

"Sorry about that Seth, Ava can you go and talk to her. She looks up to you, I have a feeling you might be able to get through to her." Ava nods and leaves to go find Taylor.

Taylor is with Bear, she is resting her head on him as she cries. Ava stays in the doorway for a minute while Taylor talks to Bear.

"Why did they all laugh at me? I didn't say anything funny it was all the truth. I just want Aunt Ava to find someone happy. My mommy has me to come home to, Aunt Ava means the world to me. She is always there to help mommy." Ava tears up at Taylor's words. She hadn't realized how observant Taylor has gotten over the years. She is growing up and noticing Ava's pain.

"Oh my princess you make me happy, you have since the day you were born. I know what you said was not supposed to be funny, but you are such a joyful person we couldn't help it. You are just so cute and grown-up. Also, I have just met Seth. He's not given me any cooties yet. I know you want me to be happy, but I am happy now. I get to see you and your mom every day. Come here hug me now." Ava smiles as she sits at the end of the guest room bed.

Taylor gets up and gives a weak smile before hugging Ava.
"He likes you, Ava. He likes you like I like Micheal. You know him he came to playgroup and you know how I accidentally blurted out how he was sexy. I can't believe I had to sit in the corner for that. You all can call us, cute but when I call him that it's Taylor go sit in the corner." She mocks the woman who runs the playgroup making faces as she speaks.

"Never tell a guy he's sexy on the first playdate. Play a game instead, boys like games. Also, be yourself don't repeat stuff you hear on the T.V from all those Kardashian shows and real housewives shows. They are bad for you to say." Taylor smiles.
