Once back in my car I decided to go find this coffee grounds and take Melly and Joyce some cookies.
I pull up at cookie grounds and it's a cute little place. I grab my wallet and walk into the place and see Remi right away.
She smiles at me. "Hey, Avah you found the place!"
"I did I want to take my coworkers some cookies." I smile.
"What can I get for you then?" She said.
"I'm not sure they all look good just pick me a dozen cookies please." I laughed.
"Ok, I can do that. Get Levi squared away?" She asked.
"Yeah, I exercised him hard and helped him back to bed," I said.
"He's a tough one but I just hate to see him hurt. He is the one who built on this place for me." She smiled.
"It's nice I'll be back for sure. Oh, can I get a slushy too? Cherry please." I said.
"Sure. When I bought this place they sold coffee and I'm not sure how coffee on a beach worked." She laughed.
"I've lived here all my life and never been here. My parents live on the other side of the beach." I said.
"Oh, mine do too. Over on Taylor street." Remi said.
"Mine too!" I laugh.
"Small world. Please come back again and I'm sure I'll see you at Levi's." She said.
"I'd like that. I met Sierrah the other day but Levi said you have twins." I said.
"Oh yeah, we do. Ruthie and Wyatt, they are four." She smiled.
"Oh, I know you have your hands full." I laugh.
"For sure!" She said handing me the box of cookies.
"I better get back to work. Cya later Remi." I smile.
"Bye Avah!" She smiled back.
Once in the car I sit the cookies in the passenger seat and head back to work. When I walk in Joyce is smiling.
"Come to my office I have goodies!" I said.
Joyce and Melly appear and I show them the cookies. "So Levi's sister in law owns this cookie shop on the beach and I went and got us some cookies." I smiled.
"Oh gosh, these are good," Melly said.
"I'm a diabetic but I'll take one." Joyce laughs walking off.
"So Levi huh?" Melly smiles.
"Oh, hush she stopped by while we were doing some exercises and Levi mentioned her store so I wanted to get cookies," I said.
"Tell me more about Levi." She smiled.
"What's to tell? He's a nice guy. I like talking to him and his family is nice too." I said.
"He's easy on the eyes too," Melly smirks.
"Yeah he is most definitely that but he's nice and easy to talk to. When I went there this morning he could tell something was wrong with me. I stayed at moms last night and she's so weak Melly." I said.
"I'm sorry Avah." She said.
"Levi could tell I was sad. He completely understood he lost his mom eleven years to the same thing. I told him about her wish and he told me to bring her over." I said.
"What's her wish?" Melly asked.
"To sit on a porch on the beach and let the wind blow through the hair she has left." I choke out.
"If he said it's ok why don't you?" She asks.
"I didn't want to overstep with a client Melly," I said.
"Then I'm telling you it's ok. If it helps your mom and Levi is saying it's ok then I would take her. And if you get closer to Levi I'm ok with that too." She smiles taking another bite of her cookie.
"Thanks, Melly! I'm going to finish this paperwork up and I have one more client before I can leave." I said.
"Sounds good have a good weekend if I don't talk to you until Monday." She said walking out of the room.
I finish my paperwork and help out the next client for the next thirty minutes and gather up my stuff and head home.
When I get into the house I put the box of cookies on the table and go take a shower. Once out with clean PJs on I sit down on the couch with the cookies and eat a couple more. They are so addicting.
I sit them back on the table and grab my phone out of my bag and I have a couple of texts. Who would text me?
I pick up my phone and am surprised to see it's from Levi.
📱Hey it's Levi
📱I heard you got some cookies today!
📱Hi Levi! Yes, I couldn't resist more of those cookies. You caught me.
I smile down at my phone as I see him typing back.
📱Yes, I caught you! I hope you don't mind me texting you. I'm bored and Violet is staying the night with Remi and I'm all alone and stuck in this bed and I don't want to text Gray.
📱It's fine Levi I'm having a party here on a wild Friday night. 😂Party of one that is.
📱Wow, some party then. Got any plans for the rest of the weekend?
📱Nah no plans. Maybe go over and spend time with my mom.
📱Avah please bring her over tomorrow or Sunday. I promise it's ok.
📱I'll ask her how she feels about it and if so I'll text you and let you know first.
📱Sounds good. Well I'll let you go I need to get up and go to the bathroom and we both know that takes me a year haha.
📱Get that exercise in or I will kick your butt! Nite Levi.
📱Nite Avah 😉
So what does the wink mean? I smile and lay my phone down beside me.
I pick my phone and head to the bedroom. I get in bed and cover up and look at my phone again and smile.
I'm getting a crush on my client. Avah why are you doing this to yourself but damn he's hot as hell.
