Avery

Fuck! Awe ! Fuck! Fuck my eyes hurt fuck my heat hurts it’s fucking throbing. how much did I have to drink last night?’ I asked myself as I slowly come around. His green eyes sparkle in mine fuck Caleb no !

‘Awe!’ I groan.

He smiled.

‘My head hurts.’

‘That’s what you get for trying to drink me under the table.’ He chuckled.

‘Shush my head’s banging.’

He laughed loudly.

‘What the fuck happened why are we?’ I looked around why were we in the the living room? On the sofa?’

‘We were out of it babe we didn’t even make it to the bedroom. He chuckled.

‘We didn’t did we?’

‘No we didn’t.’

‘Thank god.’

‘That hurts Avery that really hurts.’

‘What you’re ego?’

‘Ha Ha not funny!’ He frowned down at me.

‘Why are we tangled up together? And why are you looking down at me like you want to devour me?’

‘Maybe it’s cause I want to.’

‘Ergh.’

‘Come on Avery you know you like it!’ He said teasingly.

She slapped him. ‘Pack it in bad boy.’

‘You know you make me horny when you call me that.’

‘Then I won’t.’

‘Don’t I like it.’ He pouted.

She laughed. ‘Did we you know, do anything dumb?’

‘Not that I can remember unlike when we went to Corfu, then there was Ibiza.

‘Stop!’ She whined.

‘You enjoyed it and don’t say you didn’t.’

‘We can’t keep doing this Caleb.’

‘Why not?’

‘You know why not.’

‘You know how I feel. Why can’t you jut accept it and move on and move on with me?’

‘I need time Caleb.’

‘I’ve gave you two years Avery. How much longer do you need?’

‘I need to sort things out back home you know that.’

‘And you could’ve done that after Matt’s wedding, but you chose to go off around the world.’

‘You chose to join me.’

‘I had busisness to deal with you know that .’

‘So you were doing business in Corfu and Ibiza?’

‘No. We agreed to take a holiday remember a two week vacation to relax from the worrieds and the strains from work. I’m sorry if I put a damper on your plans.’

‘You didn’t.’

‘So you’re not saying you didn’t enjoy it as much as me?’

‘You know I did.’

‘Well then be with me Avery, forget everyone else in the equasion and be with me.’

I looked at him I really wanted to give him a chance, but the past was still a big part of me unable to move on with him. I’d forgiven him but I’d never forgot maybe I should he’s a decient guy but I had to relsolve all the issues back home first I’d put it off for two years burring myself on work and living it up to the max and I was glad o had the chance to do all that with Caleb he was sweet and caring and he took care of me. Once everything I left behind was sorted out I’d give him my decision.

‘I want to be sure Caleb.’

‘Well I’m sure I’ve never been so sure in my whole god damn life that I want you and only you there’s no other girl for me Avery. I’ll give you what you want but by the end of this year I want your answer if I don’t get it I’ll be out your life forever!’

She swallowed she didn’t want that she didn’t want to lose him forever they’d been in each other’s company for two years they’d become so close in these last two years she didn’t want to loose her best friend over something do tricks as this.

Evilne loked at Avery they’d been working togehter for the duration and she knew all about Caleb Carter. ‘Avery how are you and that sexy devil Caleb Carter?’ She laughed though it came out as a giggle.

‘Fine.’

‘It doesn’t sound fine, tell me what’s on your mind honey.’

‘I just didn’t expect all of this. He’s my friend he was my best friend now he’s getting me to choose to be with him or without him.’

‘He’s got it bad honey.’

‘Don’t I know it.’

‘So what are you going to do?’

‘I don’t honestly know he’s my best friend.’

‘Doesn’t stop the attraction honey. What do you honestly want?’

‘Honestly I don’t know. I don’t want to ruin our friendship.’

‘And what if it doesn’t?’

‘We’ve been there beofre Eviline I told you remember.’

‘I know honey, but you have to also take his feelings into consideration as well as yours. He’s been patient and theirs only so much patients one is willing to take for someone else, just remember that when you think about what you’re going to do.’

‘I will.’

‘He’s here.’ She said flustered.

‘What!’

Eviline giggled. ‘Good afternong Mr. Carter.’

‘Good afternoon to you to Eveline, just call me Caleb it’s less formal.’

She blushed avery shock her head trying to conceal the laughter. I knew Eviline had a soft spot for Caleb from the first day they met. Most of the girls that worked here did, they’d drewl over him cause his muscles pushed through his tight shirt, but he wasn’t interested in them just me.

’Are you ready Avery? we have reservations for dinner.’

‘We do?’

‘We do I told you this morning .’

‘I must’ve missed it.’ She looked at Eviline. ‘Tell John I’ve finished everything and gone home.’

‘Will do.’

He held his arm out. She slipped her hand through linking it. ‘Goodnight Eveline. I’ll see you tomorrow.’

‘See you tomorrow enjoy your evening.’

‘Oh we will.’ Caleb said winking, making her a hot mess before he and Avery walked out.

‘Stop teasing her Caleb.’

‘Why? You jealous?’

‘P-lease.’

‘You are aren’t you?’ He chuckled.

‘Not in the slightest.’

He leaned towards her his cold breath sent tingles through her entire body, her breath hitched. ‘You’re the only one I want Avery. You’re the only one I’m interested in.’

‘But you said..’

‘Come on we’ll be late.’ He said pulling her towards the lambo. He opened the door she slipped her arm out of his sliding in he closed the door sliding over the bonnet before getting into the car racing off.
