Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 1 novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Wrapping the towel around my body I grabbed the brush and dragged it through my hair continuously. I felt better than I had in months and I knew it was because he was awake. Hearing a knock at the door knocked me out of my thoughts.

"Kinda busy in here" I yelled as I loosened the towel and began to dry off my body. Still the knocking continued. Seriously?! Tightening the towel I grabbed hold of the handle and pulled the door open only to be pushed back in with the door slamming shut.

What the hell?!

Duke?!

Holding the grip on my towel I stood at the back of the bathroom glaring at him. What the hell does he think he's playing at?!

"Ain't you a sexy little thing" He grinned leaning against the door. I didn't even know this man and here he was barging in on me.

Catching his eyes I watched as his tongue rolled over his bottom lip. And there it was again, that feeling. The one that bloomed in the pit of my stomach, the little tingling feeling going straight down to my sex.

I needed Blaze!! I was so confused at what was happening to me right now..

"Is there a reason for you to be in here?" I asked as he pushed himself of the door and only stopped when he was within touching distance.

"Thought I'd introduce myself properly sweetheart".

Yeah this wasn't happening.....

"You need to leave and I need to get back to Blaze" I didn't like the way he was making me feel, I wanted to cry at how disgusted I felt. I felt like I was betraying Blaze.

"I'd rather stay and watch you get ready" He smirked causing my mouth to fall open. Feeling the sting across the palm of my hand I glared at him.

"I don't know who you are or what you think you're playing at but you need to leave. You have no right to invade my privacy the way you have. I want you out now". Angry tears were streaming down my face. "Leave" I yelled catching the look of surprise on his face. Turning my back on him I only turned around when I heard the door click telling me he was gone.

Full blown tears were streaming down my face. I was angry at him and upset at myself for the way he made me feel. I don't even know him and he thinks what he just did was acceptable. How do I tell Blaze?! How do I tell the man I love that his cousin seen me half naked? How do I explain how he made me feel?! Slipping back into my clothes I squeezed my hair with the towel and lay it over my shoulder. I wasn't ready to go back and see him. Not if Duke was there and Blaze would know something was up. He could read me like a book.

Clearing my throat I gathered up the dirty towel and left the bathroom.

Game face Ava you did nothing wrong....

Grabbing a fresh coffee from the machine in the cafeteria I grinned when a Starbucks cup was placed in front of me.

"Don't drink that shite Ava. Haven't I told you this before?" Jared stated poking me in the side. I thought he'd have been with Blaze. So who was with Blaze if he was out getting coffee?!

"Your dad and the rest of the club are here. I needed coffee. Hey why are you crying?" He asked turning me around to face him.

"Overwhelmed" I lied knowing he could see straight through it.

"Let me guess Duke?" He asked rolling his eyes.

How did he.?!!

"Yeah Ava he's good at doing what he's done". Jared chuckled throwing his arm over my shoulder and guiding us in the direction of Blazes room.
