Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 1 novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

"So what about you Mr Hotshot" I smirked "How long have you stayed here?". Picking up my glass I frowned when I realised I had finished it all. Watching him lift his hand and signal the waiter a new bottle was placed infront of us along with two clean glasses.

"Can I get you anything else Mr Thomas?"

Something was weird. Why did he call him Mr Thomas? Was this place so high maintenanced?

"Ava would you like anything else?" He asked me, again my cheeks flushed. "No thank you" I replied clearing my throat.  I wanted to know why this man sat infront of me made me feel safe? A mere stranger yet I felt so comfortable around him.

"I move around a lot so I don't really call anywhere home. Business is always calling" He smiled pouring us both a drink.

"Thank you".

"Must be really boring" I said looking at him from over my glass. "I mean having to travel alot. I'm not sitting here saying that you are boring".

Hearing him chuckle he ran a hand threw his hair "It has its flaws but work is my life, it's all I know".

"So I'm guessing your not the type of guy that'll settle down?" I asked "Marry a lovely girl, have yourself some babies?".

"Depends if the right girl falls into my lap" He smirked "What about you? Boyfriend, married?".

"Ha fat chance" I sighed "Guess you could say we're pretty much the same. I work far to much I hardly have anytime to do anything. Sometimes doing this" I said waving my hand around infront of me "Is all I get. Pretty sad huh?".

"Pretty sad for a gorgeous girl like you. You should be wined and dined Ava. Swept of your feet and taken care of".

"What by a man?" I laughed sarcastically "I don't need a man to take care of me Nate, I'm pretty capable of taking care of myself".

"Wow" He said holding his hands up "I didn't say you weren't but you shouldn't have to babe".

Finishing what was left in my glass I shook my head when he went to pour some more. "I've had more than enough". Glancing at the clock on the wall I cursed when I realised I had been in here for almost two hours. "Got somewhere you need to be?" Nate asked

"Something like that, it was really nice meeting you Nate". Pulling on my jacket I stood up feeling the dizziness go straight to my head. I forgot how fast wine gets you drunk.

"Wow" He said grabbing a hold of my shoulders "Let me drive you home?" He asked checking the time on his watch.

"No it's fine but thank you"

"Ava I know we just met but I'm not going to let you drive or walk home in that state. I'm taking you home that's the end of it".

So domineering yet so freaking hot. Giggling like a school girl I took the hand he was offering me.

Stepping into the cold air I let go of his hand so I could pull my jacket tighter. "How can you drive? You were drinking too".

"Come"

Eh?

Sighing he took hold of my hand again and walked us over to the SUV parked at the side of the road. Staring up at him he chuckled before opening the backseat door. "Ava, this is my driver Shane". I was so confused right now. He had a driver?

Sliding into the back seat I lay my head back and closed my eyes. You would think after last night I wouldn't touch a drink again and I sure as hell wished I hadn't.

"I'm so confused right now" I muttered
