~ That Night ~
After my lunch with Conor and Jack, we went straight home. I needed to book us the tickets back to London anyways.
*beep*
Dead to me: sweetie we need to plan.
Ava: I'm not speaking to you
Dead to me: what are we gonna do about dad?
Ava: he's gone. You saw it. I saw it. I will come back to America in a couple months for the funeral. Do not tell Jack this time.
Dead to me: but honey!
Ava: stop it, I love Conor. Get it in your head and accept that I'm not marrying Jack!
"Baby, who are you texting?" Conor says, sitting down next to me.
"My stupid mum."
Conor takes the phone from me.
"Are you ok?" He asks, kissing my temple.
"No Conor I'm not! My father, my one true person in my family who I respected had died. All cause of his stupid fucking smoking habits! And my mother, who seems to not even care is still trying to make me fancy Jack!" I say, pissed off at my mum.
"Sorry, wasn't suppose to swear." I mumble.
"it's ok." He embraces me in a hug.
His warm body makes me feel better, "It's not your fault." He whispers.
"Then who's is it? Yours? Jacks? No. it's mine. I should've told my mum has soon as she took interest in Jack, that I didn't like him!" I say, yelling louder then I should be.
"Baby, relax." He said,
"I can't Conor! My life is going to shit."
"Because you started dating me." He pulls away from our hug. In his eyes I see pain, he's worried.
"No.." I tear up, one water droplet falls down my cheek, he kisses where is landed.
"It's ok, you can admit it. Your mum and you wouldn't be fighting if it wasn't for me." He says.
But that just makes me cry more.
"Baby no!" He hugs me again,
God I'm so emotional!
"Don't cry, I don't like it when you cry." He tells me, wiping away the swift tears falling from my eyes to my knees.
Jack walks in, and immediately realised what happening. I see him in the corner of my eye, he nods and leaves.
"Conor your.. you - " I can't complete my sentence because of my sobbing
"Ava your the most amazing girl in the world. Don't ever doubt yourself." He mumbles.
I nod, quietly.
For the next half an hour - at least. We just sit there. He comforts me and I talk about my issues.
Then we get a text from the group.
Joe: can't wait to see u guys tomorrow!
Conor: can talk rn.
Josh: why
Conor: busy.
Conor puts down his phone and kisses my forehead.
"Are you ok now?" He asks me, with sympathy in his eyes.
"Yes, Con.. thank you." I say, kissing his lips.
"Do you want me to book the tickets?" He asks.
I nod, "Yes please."
He smiles and leaves. He walks to our bedroom and gets the plane tickets on his laptop.
I turn on my phone, seeing there's a million messages. I haven't used my phone all day.
Ava: hey guys :)
Joe: yay sleeping beauty is awake!!
Ava: I wasn't asleep ((:
Jack: we were at lunch
Josh: of course u were living the good ol' LA lifestyle?
Ava: whatever u say
Joe: so u guys r coming back tomorrow??
Ava: yeh Conor is booking the tickets now.
Jack: I thought u were getting them?
Ava: Conor offered to
Mikey: so cute
Caspar: otp
Ava: lol :))
Jack: alright Ava I'm going out see u in an hour or so
Ava: where r u going??
Jack: I won't be back in America again for awhile I'm just gonna explore.
Ava: I wanna come!!
Josh: I feel like their having their own conversation.
Joe: guys there's this thing called private messaging
Ava: shut up Joe.
Jack: u can't come Conor is taking u out
Ava: he is?
Jack: oh. It was a surprise?? :-/ whoops
Ava: I will pretend I don't know
Joe: guys Conor is IN the chat.
Ava: oh shoot
Josh: shoot?
Jack: she is being forced to not swear
Joe: oh ok.
Conor comes back from his room, "Done." He says, putting his arm around me.
He pulls out his phone and goes on the chat.
Conor: hey
Ava: helllllo :)
Conor💕: I'm sitting next to u could've just said that.
Ava 💕: boring ;)
Conor 💕: ur boring
Jack: ugh u guys are so 'casual'
Caspar: hah jack is feeling like the third wheel
Ava 💕: no shit.
Conor looks at me, I roll my eyes.
Ava 💕: no.. shet?
Joe: lolll Conor is watching every move.
I turn off my phone, Conor does as well.
"Jack is going out, wanna do something?" I ask him.
"I would do anything with you." He winks,
"Would you do th - "
"God, no!" Jack says, catching us just before I'm about to start kissing Conor.
"Thank god I didn't get here any later or my eyes would be scarred!" Jack says, laughing.
"Mate, just go." Conor says, pointing to the door.
"We're busy Jack." I say to him.
"Yeah I can tell." Jack smirks and leaves,
"Now, that we're alone, I can do this." Conor stands up and holds me around my waist, he sets me up on the kitchen table.
He grabs my face and pulls it closer to him.
"Baby I love you." I mumble between each kiss.
"We should actually do something." I say, pushing him off of me.
"I agree, we could play a board game." Conor says.
"Game on."
"Loser has to do a random impression." Conor says.
I personally, can do impressions. Obviously not as good as Conor or Joe but I can do them.
"Alright then." I shrug.
"We should film." We say in unison, I set up the camera Jack had in his room and hopefully the lighting is good.
"Ok, so we have no board games, how do we do this?" I ask him.
"Uhh, truth or dare." Conor says.
"If you don't tell the truth or do the dare, the other player gets to choose what impression." Conor explains.
"Ok! By the way the camera is already on, I'll just edit this part out." I explain.
"Then I can do this?" Conor shuffles closer to me, and kisses me. I bite my lip as we separate.
"I'm keeping it in." I wink.
"Good." He smiles.
"Ok then Conor, truth or dare?" I ask.
"Uh, dare." He says.
"Drink a shot of vinegar." I chuckle.
He gives me the death glare and I laugh. He grabs a glass and puts some vinegar in it.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." He holds his nose and drinks it.
I slow clap for him.
"Impressive." I say.
He bows, and then asks me
"Truth or dare pretty girl?"
"Truth!" I say excited.
"Ok then, ever regretted something changed your life?" He asks me.
I bit my lip, "Uh, I'm not saying anything."
"Then you need to do Elmo!" He laughs.
My impression of Elmo is my best, Conor loves it as well.
"Easy."
"It's Elmo's world!"
I sing the theme song and Conor continues laughing.
"I loved it." He said.
"I could tell." I wink at him.
After a couple more questions.. -
"Ok then Ava, I need to tell you something." He says, turning off the camera.
"Shoot." I say.
"Ok, I kind of got us a reservation at a super fancy place, would you come with me?" He asks.
"Of course I will!" I say excited.
"Perfect."
He pushes me, carefully to the wall and kisses my ear.
"Hehe Conor stop it!" I giggle, he knows I'm ticklish at my ear.
Then he kisses my neck, softly. Then he trails back up to my eyes, and kisses my forehead.
"I love you." He says,
"And, I love you."
