Chapter 32

Maggie seemed to notice and she withdrew from the hug " Hush now, I don't wanna see a gloomy face behind this little makeover, hmm? "

Ava nodded tearfully and took a deep breath to calm her racing heart.

" That longtime friend of yours is your data tonight, right? " Maggie asked and her eyes twinkled, which made her look younger than her years and Ava told her so.

" Wow, look at you getting all excited like Cinderella. That youthful look makes you look stunning yourself " She teased

Maggie blushed " Ow stop making this old lady blush! " And she nudged Ava playfully with her arm.

" We both know it's true " She said thoughtfully. Deciding that the woman had had enough teasing for the night, she answered her previous question " Yes, he wants us to go have dinner and catch up on old times "

Maggie whistled " You go out there and have fun baby girl, go for it! " She cheered on Ava.

Ava laughed and her attention drifted to the long stairs like she was waiting for someone to show up.

Maggie followed her gaze and smiled knowingly, reading her mind.

" You don't have to worry about him, he'll be fine " She assured Ava.

Ava's cheeks turned a deep shade of pink and she knew she was caught.

She shook her head quickly " No no, I'm not worried about him, I just... "

Maggie cut in " Aye aye, just go have some fun, huh? "

Now Ava looked nervous " What if he needs something? How do I explain that I went out on a date when I'm supposed to be at work? " She expressed her fears and added " Maybe I should go inform him, or what do you think Maggie? " She asked nervously.

Maggie placed a hand on her arm " Relax sweetheart, he's not going to eat you up. Besides, it's not working hour, you're done for the day so you're free to use your night as you pleases. You don't have to worry, huh? "

She added " Besides, he's not in his room "

Ava looked a bit confused " Really? Where could he have gone by this time of the night? " She asked, wondering where he was.

Maggie shrugged " He's probably in the garden, doing heaven knows what " She replied.

" Oh " Ava said, not finding anything more reasonable to say.

" Is your date coming to pick you up? " Maggie asked, changing the subject as smoothly and naturally as possible. She didn't want Ava to get too worried about Alex, else she might be tempted to cancel her plans and stay back.

Ava nodded, her mind steering clear of Alex's thoughts for a minute. She checked her phone

" Oh, he should be here any moment from now. I should get going so I do not keep him waiting " She said quickly and hugged Maggie before dashing out the door, her heels making sounds on the marble floor.

" Have fun! " Maggie shouted after her but Ava was out the door already.

The night air which greeted Ava the minute she stepped out was welcoming and Ava liked it, therefore breathing in all she could. While she waited for Hunter to show up, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her slowly. She squinted her eyes to see clearly but couldn't so she waited for whoever it was to come to view. A few moments later, her breath caught up in her throat as she saw who it was. It was no other person but Alex standing there in his glory.

He wore nothing but tight fitted jean and his upper body was on display for to view. She tried to breath but couldn't. It was as if she was watching an X-rated movie where the actor seduced the actress just by staring at his hot body. She was in that position that moment and could swear her thighs clenched tightly as something wet threatened to come out from her p*ssy.

He came to a halt " A... Ava?? " He asked, shocked as though he couldn't believe it was really her.

" Is that you, Ava? " He asked again, his voice more stable as he got closer.

She nodded weakly " Uh yeah " She replied and fidgeted with her fingers nervously. The way he was staring at her... Oh the look reminded her of a predator eyeing his prey hungrily, waiting for the perfect time to pounce. And it turned her on, yeah it did. She admitted it to herself. Before she knew it, he was standing before her.

" Damn, you look stunning " He whispered and pushed back the strand of hair which was out of place.

" Uh... " She muttered, not able to think of a better thing to say.

Alex hushed her by placing a finger on her lips " Hush gorgeous, I can't start to describe how beautiful you look tonight " His words drew warmth down her spine and it made her feel real good. She gulped when she felt his breath fanned her neck.

" Hmm you smell so good, Ava " He commented and breathed in more of her scent.

Ava closed her eyes when his lips came in contact with her neck. A soft moan escaped through her lips and she wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling him even closer. Alex grinned, happy that she wanted him just as much as he wanted her. He removed his mouth from her neck and straight to her lips to give her a light kiss. It was as though he was giving her time to pull away or something. But when she did none, he persuaded her to open her mouth and he dived in with his tongue. Ava responded to the kiss and Alex explored the whole of her mouth.

His hands roamed up and down her waist and they finally stopped right below her breasts. Ava squirmed a little, wanting to feel his hands on her already.
