Episode 170: Ready For Love

A nervous smile swept over her face, this was nice, this waking up next to somebody, nice, and maybe a little scary. She slipped her legs out from under the covers and shivered until she covered her nakedness with an oversize sweater.

She padded over to the closet to select the day’s uniform, jeans and a black fitted blouse. She put them on the bedside table as she scanned the room for her pearls.

"It’s really early," Xavier mumbled groggily pushing himself up on his skinny elbows. His eyes were bloodshot and even the Animé tattooed across his chest seemed sleepy.

"I didn’t mean to wake you, I have to be at the market by nine," Ava apologized, "Have you seen my pearls anywhere?"

He pointed wildly to the small red chair on his side of the room. When she came past he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in towards him, kissing her. "I won’t be back until the middle of January, can’t you call in sick?"

Avalon sighed barely moving her lips away from his. "I’m worried about Bowie, he keeps talking about Jesse like he’s going to lose him. As much as I want to stay right here I just can’t let him go through whatever this is alone, you know."

"This is gonna take some time getting used to dating a girl scout," Xavier smiled before kissing her some more.
