Chapter 3 - I want to see your lovely face

[Ava]

I shut the door immediately, staring at the door frame like a lost sheep. I felt my legs weaken. Gabriel was stepping out of Logan's bathroom with nothing on his body, his eyes locked in mine, he didn't even bother to close the monster that he had down there that was staring back at me.

I was able to put some strength back in my legs and rush back upstairs, I was still storming up the stairs when I felt footsteps following behind me, I increased my pace, my thoughts swirled in a jumbled mix of emotions, making it hard to focus

Was he mad at me that I saw him naked? Shouldn't he have locked the doors, knowing he's not the only one in this house? I would have just respected my brother when he said I should always knock on his door before barging in.

What Gabriel had down there was not what I was expecting or imagined, it looked way huge, fuck…I was about to push my door open when a hand held me back and pinned me against the wall with my hands raised above my head.

“Why are you running Ava,” he spoke gently with his husky voice, the way he dimmed his eyes, was setting my body on fire.

“Gabriel, w-why will I run,” I couldn't find the right words to comprehend what was going on in my head. My eyes were also making matters worse. He was just tying a white towel on his waist, and his broad chest which was exposed was driving me insane.

Water droplets glistened in his hair, each one like a tiny diamond that caught the light and made him look irresistibly sexy. I couldn't help but devour him with my eyes. I looked at him from head to toe, not even noticing that he had been talking all this while, he suddenly called my name making me snap out of my trance.

“Ava, you're not saying anything, why were you running,” he asked again, his voice deepening.

I tried to loosen his grip on my hands but it was to no avail.

“I'm sorry I barged in, I didn't know you were still around, I was just mad at Logan for not waking me up. I already missed work yesterday and I wasn't supposed to miss today,” I tried explaining.

“Logan is not yet back, he called and said a few meetings held him back and talking about waking you up, you cried yourself to sleep and I had to bring you upstairs,” he said, as he let go of my hands, but still left me pinned to the wall.

“You..you, were the one that carried me upstairs,” I looked at him trying to make sure I just heard right.

“Yes I did,” he twisted his lips and bit his bottom lip trying so hard to maintain a serious face.

So it wasn't a dream, did I confess to him? Was that why he was trying to laugh? still lost in my thoughts, I felt his hands on my hair, tucking in some strands of hair at the back of my ear.

“What are you thinking little doll,” he asked, his voice deepening more. I felt a cold shiver run down my spine, I clogged my two legs together trying to hold onto this very pussy of mine that wouldn't stop misbehaving at the sight of this man.

His eyes went down to my thighs, noticing how hard I was trying to keep myself together. He came closer to me, wrapping his hands around my waist. He pulled me closer to him and stared into my eyes. I felt a scorching sweat trickle down my forehead, pooling at my temples.

He brought his lips closer to my forehead and placed a kiss on it. My breath slowed, and my shoulders relaxed as a gentle tranquility settled within me, he stared into my eyes and his eyes went down to my lips.

He pulled me closer and took in my lips in his, his tongue tracing the outline of my lips, asking for permission to explore further, I opened my mouth a bit and he slipped his tongue inside, sending shivers down my spine, he devoured my lips, biting my upper lips, circling his tongue all over my mouth, he got hold of my tongue and sucked on it hard, making me moan on his mouth

He pushed me further to himself leaving no space between us, I could sense his arousal pressed against me, I clutched my thighs tighter, I could feel my juices flowing, wetting my thighs.

My hands roamed all over his broad chest, and I couldn't help but moan louder in his mouth. He pulled back, and I was breathing heavily as he stared deep into my eyes. He was about to say something when the doorbell rang.

I pushed him off immediately without thinking, his eyes widened in stunned incredulity, he shook his head and a sly charming smile escaped his lips, I stood frozen still staring at him.

“It must be your brother, I'll open up the door for him,” he said and walked out heading to the stairs, his eyes went down to his dick and he turned and looked at me and I was still stupidly staring at him.

He mouthed a word but I couldn't hear whatever he just said. I breathed out. I pushed my door open and walked inside, I closed it while turning the doorknob to make sure it was closed.

I didn't know what to feel at this point, happy, sad, scream or just shut up. Did he come to me because I saw him naked or was it because I confessed my feelings to him thinking I was in a dreamland?

I spent the rest of the evening inside my room, even when my brother Logan called me, I pretended to be asleep, I didn't know how to face Gabriel, I was wishing he had gone by now.

I was rolling on my bed from one end to the other, I was smiling and I couldn't get the thought of Gabriel's lips off me, he tasted so good, if his lips tasted this good then how would that rod he had down there taste, I shook my head, shaking off the dirty thought that had consumed me

The buzzing of my phone brought me out

of my trance, snapping me back to reality. I unlocked it and my heart sank as I saw the calendar reminder, tomorrow was the anniversary of Remi's death. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, just then another message bumped in and I scrolled up and it was Gabriel, this was his first time texting me, we had each other's number because my brother uses my phone to call him sometimes and I had saved it a long time ago.

My sadness vanished immidiately, replaced by a flutter in my chest. “Come down let's have dinner, I made some food for you, I want to see your lovely face before I leave,” My heart raced as I read the words, and I smiled wondering what he meant by this.

Was he missing me?

I stepped down from my bed and rushed to the mirror to check my outfit, I was putting on a blue short jeans and my favorite soccer club Red Jersey, I tucked the Jersey in a bit from the left side, I wanted to make sure my ass was showing and not fully covered, I tied my long brown wavy hair in a messy bun

I rushed out of the room and made my way downstairs, smiles still plastered on my face, I could feel his gaze on me as he sighted me, he was seated in the dining with his phone in his hands, and my brother Logan was seated beside him, I walked up to the dining and greeted my brother and greeted Gabriel too, I greeted him casually like we weren't devouring each other's lips some moments ago.

I sat down opposite Gabriel, and I took my plate and scooped out the white rice and chicken sauce that was on the dining table. I know Gabriel must have made it even if he didn't tell me because I know my brother was a very bad cook.

Gabriel's legs tickled me under the table and I couldn't help but blush, I felt my brother's eyes on me.

“Little demon, are you sick? Why are your cheeks coloring all of a sudden? Are you under the weather? He asked, a hint of amusement in his voice

I rolled my eyes at him and fixed them back on my food, the next thing he did made my pulse spike.

He picked up Gabriel's phone as if he had been trying to get hold of it for some time.

“Logan give me back my phone,” Gabriel's voice rang in my ears as he tried to get the phone back from Logan

“Never!!! I noticed how you were staring at your phone for close to twenty minutes before you started typing, it seems my best friend got a new catch,” he used one of his hands to block Gabriel while he turned the other side trying to go to a certain place on his phone.

Gabriel who tried dragging it with him and didn't want to push it further, gave up, he turned towards me and furrowed his eyebrows while twisting his lips, I looked at him pleading with my eyes for him to take the phone back from Logan, once Logan sees the message that Gabriel sent me, there is no way he wouldn't suspect or conclude that something is going on between us.

My spoon suddenly fell from my hand as I heard my brother gasp for air, his eyes widened and his eyebrows shot up as he stared at Gabriel, I was waiting for him to turn his focus on me but his eyes were locked on Gabriel.

I felt my heart tightening, this is bad, my brother can not find out, not when I feel my heart's desires about his best friend are about to come true. He suddenly broke the silence, putting the phone on Gabriel's face and his question made my heart twist more.

“Gabriel, what is this?”
