Ava’s POV

The morning light entered through the blinds, casting soft beams of sunlight across the room. I could hear the faint hum of traffic from outside, but it felt distant, like it didn't matter. It was just me and Logan, lounging in my small apartment, an easy peace between us.

Logan was sprawled on the couch, a bowl of cereal in hand, and I sat on the armrest, my legs tucked beneath me as I scrolled through my phone. The air was quiet except for the occasional clink of his spoon hitting the bowl, but I felt completely content.

"You know, you’re not bad at this whole 'relaxing at home' thing," Logan remarked, glancing up at me with that lazy grin of his. He had his usual cocky charm, but this morning, it wasn’t as sharp. It was softened, like he was letting down his guard, just for me.

I raised an eyebrow, setting my phone down. "Is that a compliment? Or are you just mocking my lifestyle?"

Logan shrugged with a casual smirk. "A little bit of both. I always imagined you'd be all a

I don't remember the last time I had felt this good.She always had a way of making me feel so much better even if I was in bad mood. Just her presence alone make everything so much better for me.I woke up earlier than her,we had fell asleep again on her small couch which couldn't fit my long legs but I wasn't complaining because she was wrapped around my body like a koala and I was loving every second of it.I kept staring at her like some creepy from a horror movie,but I was only appreciating the beauty besides me. She was sleeping with her mouth open but I didn't mind that,I was actually glad she was free around me to be herself.I was mesmerized by the way her eyelashes fluttered. Her eyelashes were long,her full lips were slightly pluckers as she pouted in her sleep. They were so inviting,I wish I could taste them again.I started to lean in

    ~Logan's POV~After leaving Levi’s apartment, I drove back to my place, but my mind was still restless. Even though I had reassured Levi, the tension from our father’s sudden reappearance still didn't set with me. I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep. And honestly, I didn’t want to. Not when there was only one person who could make me feel better.I grabbed my phone and dialed Ava’s number. She picked up after a few rings, her voice laced with sleep.“Logan?” she murmured.A smile tugged at my lips. “Hey, nerd. Were you sleeping?”“Obviously. Unlike some people, I don’t stay up all night brooding,” she teased, her voice groggy but warm.I chuckled, leaning back on my couch. “Yeah, well… I couldn’t sleep. I missed you.”There was a pause on the other end, and then she sighed softly. “Logan…”“What?” I asked, closing my eyes. “Is it a crime to miss my girlfriend?”“No, but it’s rare for you to admit it,” she said playfully. “You’re all tough and broody, remember?”I smirked. “Maybe, but o

  • Against the rules    my one rule

    Ava’s POV There were only a few rules I lived by in college. Rule number one? Never fall for a jock. It wasn’t just a personal preference. It was survival, I had to avoid them inorder to do well. I had seen too many smart girls throw away their GPA for a 6'0 something guy with biceps , a quarterback playboy and a bad attendance record. Not me, No way, I'll never do that that how I survived my first year in Westbridge university and I'm not going to break that rule in my second year. That’s why, when Logan Carter walked into my History class fifteen minutes late, I didn’t even bother looking up from my laptop. I already knew who he was. everyone knew him, star quarterback, campus heartthrob, a playboy, and the guy who had probably never studied a day in his life. Professor Ambrose mills barely looked at him as he walked to the only empty seat right next to me. I stiffened. Just my luck, I didn't want to sit closer with him. jocks never supposed to be with nerds,not that I'm a n

  • Against the rules    The first game

    Ava’s POV I wasn’t sure how I ended up here. One minute, I was closing my laptop, ending another exhausting tutoring session with Logan Carter. The next, I was shaking hands on a deal I wasn’t even sure I wanted to make. I was going against my rules again. "Come to the game, and I’ll help you find a part-time job," he had said, flashing that cocky grin like he already knew I’d say yes. And somehow, against all logic, I had said yes! stupid!! Now, I was packed into the freezing bleachers of Westbridge Stadium, surrounded by screaming fans, girls with too much make up , and everything I was not a customized regretting every life decision that had led to this moment. "Come on, Ava, at least try to look excited!" my neighbor, Sophie, yelled over the deafening cheers. I forced a tight smile. "Super excited," I deadpanned, gripping my coat tighter around me. I don't know what came over me to accept the dealguess you can call it desperation!! Sophie rolled her eyes. "You’re impossi

  • Against the rules    A deal

    Logan’s POV This was a bad idea. No,scratch that. This was a dangerous idea. And yet, here I was, walking into a house party with Ava Sinclair, the one girl on this damn whole campus who wasn’t wrapped around my finger. She wasn’t supposed to be here. and she didn't want to be here. But after our little negotiation in the library, after watching her hesitate before ultimately caving to my offer, I knew she’d show up. And damn, if she didn’t look completely out of place. She wasn’t dressed like the other girls,tight dresses, sky high heels, looking for attention. No, Ava wore ripped jeans and a fitted sweater, her hair in a ponytail, like she hadn’t even thought twice about what to wear. And yet, as I walked beside her, my eyes kept drifting to her. Dangerous. "You’re sure about this?" she asked, arms crossed as she surveyed the party like she was searching for an emergency exit. "Relax, nerd," I said, throwing an arm around her shoulder, grinning when she immediately stiffe

  • Against the rules    close quarters

    Ava’s POV I stared at the eviction notice in my hands, my stomach twisting into knots. my landlord said I had a week but here I am .... on the streets!. Rent issues. A “miscalculation,” my landlord had called it. But all I heard was: you have to leave. I didn’t even have a place to go. It wasn’t like I could call anyone. I’d already strained things with my dad, and my so-called friends were more interested in their own drama than helping me out. I could get a cheap motel, but what the hell was I supposed to do after that? I just wanted to disappear. But as I stood outside the dorm, gripping my duffel bag like it could somehow shield me from everything, a ping from my phone broke the silence. Logan Carter: What’s up, nerd? I almost didn’t want to reply. I didn’t even know why I had his number in the first place, but here it was, glowing on the screen. I bit my lip, thinking of all the options none of them great before I did the dumbest thing possible. Ava: …Got a couch I ca

    Ava's pov The last thing I remember after reaching Logan's place is that he told me he was going out tonight, so why the hell is he still here? I was lost in my thoughts when I felt something nudging me. I turned to face Logan who had a smirk on his face. "hey nerd, what are you daydreaming now? I know I'm hot but you can just tone it out sunshine". I scoffed "who told you I'm thinking about you? didn't you say you are going out tonight? or is no one willing to open their legs for you?" I remarked. Logan smirk widened "and why do you care nerd? I don't think me whoring around is any of your concern or are you jealous " he said . I became aware of the small space we were in. After the kiss we shared earlier, Everytime Logan is close to me keeps making me feeling conscious. " No I'm not jealous but can you move your body away, you're in my space " I said, tryin

    Ava’s POVCharlotte and I had managed to snag a table near the window cafeteria,where the sun streamed in, warming the wooden surface.I stabbed my fork into my salad, listening to Charlotte ramble about some drama between her and Tristan when a shadow suddenly fell over us.“Mind if I join?”I looked up, surprised to see Levi Carter standing beside our table, a charming grin on his face. Carter's siblings are charming!.Charlotte, ever the flirt, beamed at him. “Of course! Sit with us anytime, handsome.”Levi chuckled and pulled out a chair. “I’ll take that as an official invitation.”I shook my head with a small smile. Levi was different from Logan, softer around the edges, with an easygoing aura that made him instantly likable. He was also just as attractive, and I could already feel the stares from nearby tables as he settled in.“So,” Levi started, looking between me and Charlotte, “what do you guys do for fun around here?”“Fun?” Charlotte scoffed. “Please, this campus is borin

    Ava’s POVCharlotte and I sat at our usual table, her phone in one hand and a fork in the other as she scrolled through something on her feed. I poked at my salad, not really paying attention, until she let out a dramatic sigh.“You know, for someone who just got her own place, you don’t seem very excited,” she pointed out, setting her phone down.I shrugged. “I am. It’s just… a lot.”She studied me for a second before smirking. “Or maybe it has something to do with Logan.”I nearly choked on my drink. “Excuse me?”Before she could respond, a tray dropped onto the table across from us. Logan slid into the seat beside me, followed by Tristan, who took his usual place next to her.“Talking about me again?” Logan teased, stealing one of my fries.I glared at him. “No one was talking about you.”Charlotte snorted. “Lies.”Tristan laughed. “You two are exhausting to watch, you know that?”Logan smirked, completely unfazed. “So, nerd, you coming to the game later?”I sighed. “I have work,

Time to move your broke ass out of here!”I groaned, burying my face in my pillow. “Five more minutes.”“Nope.” She yanked my blanket away. “We have a lot to do. Logan’s coming soon, and if he sees you drooling on your pillow, I will never let you live it down and I don't think he'll appreciate that” she winked at meThat got me up.I threw a pillow at her, but she dodged it with a laugh. “Get dressed, loser. I’ll make coffee.”I sighed, dragging myself out of bed.By the time I was dressed and had shoved a piece of toast into my mouth, Logan had already arrived.He leaned against the doorframe, looking way too good in a simple hoodie and jeans. “You ready, nerd?”I rolled my eyes. “You know, normal people say good morning.”“I’m not normal,” he said with

    Ava’s POVThe first thing I did when my salary hit my account was stare at my phone screen in disbelief.$2,000.I wasn’t used to seeing that much money in my account at once. I knew it wouldn’t last long rent, groceries, and bills would take a huge part but for now, I let myself have a moment to feel proud.I’d earned this.The second thing I did was text Charlotte.Me: We’re going apartment hunting today.Charlotte: OMG FINALLY! I’m grabbing coffee. Meet me at campus in 20 minutes!I barely had time to pull on a decent outfit before running out the door. The sun was bright, and for the first time in a while, I felt like things were coming together.I was getting out of Charlotte apartment giving her a space with her boyfriend.“Okay, so I did some research,” Charlotte said, sliding into the booth across from me at the campus café. She had two coffees in her hands one for her, one for me. “I found a few places that are actually within budget.”I took the coffee gratefully. “How much

Better than remembering.After last night, after seeing her, I hadn’t been able to get Ava out of my damn head. The way she looked at me like she saw me for the first time had messed me up more than I wanted to admit.I landed another punch, breathing hard.“You trying to kill the bag or yourself?”I turned to see Aaron leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, his usual cocky smirk in place.What the fuck does he want?I rolled my shoulders. “What do you want?”He strolled in, tossing a football between his hands. “I think you know.”I grabbed my towel, wiping the sweat from my face. “Not in the mood, man.”Aaron let out a mock gasp. “Not in the mood? That’s funny because last time I checked, you had plenty of motivation.”I clenched my jaw. “Drop it.”He grinned. “Come on, Logan. Don’t tell me you

It’s almost midnight, Carter.”“And?” He smirked. “Scared to stay out late?”I rolled my eyes. “I have work tomorrow, unlike you.”Logan placed a hand over his heart, feigning offense. “Are you calling me unemployed?”I gave him a pointed look. “You literally don’t have a job.”“Technically, I do.” He grinned. “I play football. That’s a job.”“Football isn’t a job, it’s a sport,” I shot back.“A sport I get paid for,” he countered.I groaned. “You get scholarship money for it. That’s different.”Logan shrugged. “Details, details.”I shook my head, but I was smiling. Being around him was easy, even when we were arguing.We walked a little longer until we reached a sma
