"What are you to do about your father ?" Inquired Kara.

"He won't call him." Replied Ava.

"You think so?"

"I know he won't call him. He will be getting my mother."

"I'm so sorry."

"Its nothing. My only worry is how I'm going to spent two weeks in the cottage with no phone. No nothing."

"I could keep you company some days maybe bring you books to read?"

"I could do with the company. I'm not really into reading. I'm no professor but anyways. Bring them over so i See what I will do with them." Replied Ava having both of them chuckling.

"Alright. I could also get myself suspended for some days." Chuckled Kara.

"Yeah." That's not a nice joke. Leave those only for me.

"Who said I was joking? I'm not. I'm weighing my options."

"Okay. You get suspended, don't come to my place. Stay home and keep sobbing." Responded Ava.

"Alright alright. You don't need to threaten me."

Dante had already bummed out of school heading home as Ava and Kara still stayed till the classes ended.

It was about Five in the evening when Ava dropped Kara home. By coincidence, Kara's father was arriving home at the same time and when he saw Ava's car park right infront of his house, he walked towards it in a hurry having his daughter come out in terror. He confronted Ava.

"You don't get to drop my daughter off or even come close to my house. You head inside." Said he.

"I won't dad. I won't let you meddle in my life." Responded Kara.

"Nice to meet you again mr. Manning."

"Well it's not nice to see you again Ava sinclair. mostly seeing you around my daughter. "

"Yeah! Why ? Is it because I'm a lesbian or is it because I'm attracted to your daughter? Which of the two cause they are both true."

"The nerve of this girl." Replied Mr. Manning raising his hand to slap Ava when Kara got in his way.

"No father. You don't get to decide who I hang out with. If I bring so much shame to you, how about i just live you and your honourable life? Huh? So i don't become a disgrace."

"And live where? You're still not yet average age to live alone."

"Please father. I've been of legal age for a year now. You just don't want to let me go. You want to control me. You believe I will bring disgrace to you. Know what? I will just go stay with her. Yeah."

"No. No. You can't. "

"You are? Asked Ava in surprise.

"Yes. Wait for me right here as I go pack my stuff." Answered she running inside.

"Get back here Kara." Screamed Mr. Manning ask he turned to Ava. "Your gonna pay for this."

"Oh no. I didn't see this coming but well. See? My hands are free from this. She's of age and has made her own choices."

"Both of you are a disgrace. This won't go unpunished Ava. I will make sure to inform your father about this. See what he thinks?"

"Oh.. I'm so scared. That old man has no say over me. I'm not afraid of him sir."

"Let's go." Said Kara heading out of the house. "And dad. Don't even try taking my money from me. The one that mom left me cause I know you will want to do that in order to punish me." Dived kara putting her suitcase back in the trunk. "You can have your mansion to yourself.

"Sorry sir." Snapped Ava heading inside her car as Mr. Manning rushed inside anguished.

"Are you sure about this?" Asked Ava as she reversed the car to head home.

"Very. I'm just so tired. Having him make my life a miserable hell. I'm so tired of feeling guilty everytime."

"Well. Alright. You trust me that much?" Asked Ava.

"Why ask?"

"Well. Cause you gave no thought wanting to come with me. You just said it. Then did it."

"I know I can trust you. You've proven that over and over to me. Why would I doubt you?"

"Well. I might be some bad guy who wants to take advantage of you."

"Well, you can go ahead. I would be paying for your over protections."

"Ha. Was just kidding. "

"I know. Your serious jokes are so contagious. Can help it. Remember what you said to my dad?"

"What?" Snapped Ava parking the car heading back in the trunk to pick Kara's bag.

"That your attracted to me? You clearly said it was true."

"Yeah. It's true but don't worry. I won't make you do things you don't wanna do."

"What if I want to?"

"Trust me, you don't wanna rush into something. Mostly I who was just dumped. not even three days passed."

"Sure. You're still hurting from your untamed wounds."

"Exactly. Well. Welcome to my humble home. Officially! Now where will I be sleeping? "

"On your bed."

"Oh no. Visitors take the bed, I will go for the couch."

"You can't be serious? Are you?"

"Do I look like I'm joking. I'm pretty serious. "

"Who does that? Seriously. Who are you? I would never get you my bed. Considering someone who just turned your whole setting. "

"Well I would. That's how my mom taught me. Be polite to people."

"That's not the word. Polite isn't in your category. You are not polite at all."

"You think?" Asked Ava chuckling. "yeah I know. Wrong word check. What should it be?"

"Well, it's more of accommodating. You're very welcoming."

"Yeah. I think that's the word. So I get to make you drink a beer. celebrate having you here?"

"Alright. Just one. You've insisted so much about it. You win. "

"I always win. Except with Audrey. But I always do. Seat with me." Said Ava handing Kara a bottle of beer as they toasted chuckling.

"I can't believe I left my father."

"Yeah. your something. That man is fierce. "

"I know right?"
