Chapter 47

“Hi,” Benjamin said in a false gruff tone.

A snort accidentally popped out of my mouth and earned me a glare from him. The fact that it was completely obvious that he was flirting with her was not supposed to be funny. In his own way, he had just reprimanded me for the sound. Avamarie just giggled at us both and stuck out her hand to shake his.

“Hi, Benny. I’m Avamarie,” she greeted him.

Benjamin’s hand froze in her grasp so all that she was shaking was a limp noodle.

“You’re-you’re- Avamarie? The Avamarie that Johnny and Melissa have been talking about?” he stuttered out.

She gave one of her laughs again and let go of his hand. His head whipped between the both of us in disbelief. It was whipping back and forth so hard I was sure it would pop off at any moment. Suddenly she slowly faded out and it must not have been in her plans because she got an extremely disappointed look on her face.
