Ava’s POV

We walked outside with our parents and they’d already decided that they would be spending the night at a hotel.

Mason and I drove home, I felt comfortable in his jacket and we both went to our separate rooms to change out of our clothes.

We finally decided to see a movie and it was cozy as we laid in each other's arms until the characters in the movie started kissing.

I started feeling hot from within, my cheeks were burning and I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that I was blushing hard from watching the characters in the movie get intense with each other.

She had told me that they’d be home later in the day and she’d asked that I make breakfast for them.The memories of the sex I had with Mason last night came gushing at me and my cheeks suddenly felt hot as I tried to move but I was still very sore.Mason noticed this and had only pulled me closer to him before moving the hair that fell on my face to the side of my ear and kissed my cheek and forehead.He got up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom to run a hot water bath for me. It felt so relaxing, especially having Mason take my bath for me.This treatment was one that I prayed would never end because it was just so heavenly. Finishing with my bath, I rummaged through my closet and picked out a dress.I got downstairs to find the table set already and Mason had already made breakfast, my cheeks flushed and my heart fluttered as he pulled out the chair for me to sit.We both ate in silence and I picked up my ph

Did she see who I was texting?“Mum!” I called angrily as I stood to face her, “you scared me.” I pointed out, clutching my chest and she laughed as she dried her hair.She’d told me she was going to take a shower and I was so engrossed in the chat with Mason that I had no idea when she got into the room.“Since when have you been here?” I asked, looking confused as I searched her eyes for answers that weren't really there.“See? You were so into the chat with him that you didn’t know when I walked in,” she said amid

Bracing myself up and summoning every ounce of courage I had left in me.“You have it all planned out, you can do this, Ava.” I said to myself, my heart still racing that it felt as though it was going to fly out of my chest.Can I really do this?“Hey.” I coughed into the phone and I could hear slight giggles from the

She made hot chocolate for me and sat beside me to calm me down.“I’m such a fool,” I sniffed as I placed my head on her shoulder, “why on earth did I think that this would work out?” I asked rhetorically before going back to crying again.“I should’ve just ended it, I knew things like this wouldn't work out but I was such a fool for believing that there might actually be a chance for us and now I’m hurt.” I finished.Snorting and taking a sip of my hot chocolate, I tried to calm myself down but nothing worked and Nicole only stroked my hair lightly.“I’m sorry you had to go through this,” she started, “but you know, you can wait until your cousin is gone and you’ll be able to thrash it out with Mason.” She suggested.She’s actually right

    Ava’s POVDanny’s burial soon came and everything was set and ready. The priest spoke before asking us to come make a speech.Walking up to the altar, I looked at everyone around and it felt like I had nothing to say about Danny except the fact that he was a good father to me.“When everyone was less supportive of me, Danny stayed with me, he could disbelieve a lot of things but he never stopped believing in me. He really is the best father in the world and I don’t think they make fathers like him because I think I took the last one.” I laughed and sniffled and the mood was lightened up a bit.“Danny had touched our lives one way or the other and I don’t think he would want us here crying, he was always so full of life and as crazy as it might sound, I think Danny would want us to be glad that he lived the best of his life.” I finished before walking off.Mason made a speech about his father too and watching him stand there just made my heart come crashing down.“We disagree on a lot
