Love In Between

When Ava got home, she was very tired and thirsty. She went straight to the kitchen to get some water. She grabbed a glass cup and filled it with chilled water from the refrigerator. She gulped the whole glass down and grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator which calmed her nerves and relaxed her a bit. She did a lot of work today and needed lots of sleep and rest.

She went straight to her room, took a bubble bath and fell on the bed like a log of wood and immediately fell into deep slumber.

**The next morning

She woke up feeling energized and better, she slept for about 9 hours. She took a bath and dressed up. Ava wore a white shirt which had a little black lining along her arm , with a black knee level skirt and a black blazer then sprayed herself with perfume, looked at herself and the mirror and posed, “Perfect” she said.

She just ate a few slices of bread before she grabbed her car keys and left the house on her way to the company which was just 30 minutes away.

She got to the office and the employees noticed she looked better and smelled better than the day before. Bruce walked over to her as soon as he saw her. He wakes with her, “someone looks better than they did yesterday” he said teasingly and they both laughed it off since they both knew the reason why. They got into the elevator to Ava’s office.

They went to her office to begin work for the day. They had a lot of scheduled meetings to attend so they prepared for them. The first meeting they went for was by 9:00 am, it went smoothly but tiring and boring, they had more meetings to attend so they braced themselves.

By the third meeting Ava looked worn out and extremely tired since she talked and presented along with Bruce in two of the meetings . Bruce looked like he hadn’t done anything which made Ava surprised, “You’re not tired?” She asked as they went to her office, “A bit but I don’t make it look as visible as you do” he replied and she shook her head. They got to her office and she slumped on the chair, “why did I wear heels today” she said with an exhausted tone and Bruce just laughed. She was too tired and hungry to even retort back so she just glared at him.

It was already 2:00 pm which meant they skipped lunch. “You have another meeting to attend at 2:30 and that’s the last one” Bruce said and she sighed, “How did my life end up like this” she said and Bruce just shook his head. They had 30 minutes more before the meeting started. She grabbed a bottle of water from her bag and drank half of it at a go. “That’s unladylike” Bruce said teasingly and Ava shot him a glare and he zipped his mouth.

They were at the meeting and Ava looked like she was ready to doze off. Bruce was close to laughing right there and then. Avas mind wasn’t even focused on the meeting , she just wanted to eat since they skipped lunch and she just had a measly amount of breakfast this morning. The meeting ended and everyone went back to their various workspaces. “Today’s schedule has been cleared, done for today” Bruce said, “Finally,” she said and sighed. Avas stomach made a loud growl and she just frowned while Bruce just chuckled.

Ava was about to leave when Bruce suggested they eat somewhere before going home. They went to a restaurant nearby. Ava ordered Chinese rice with sauce and turkey, Bruce just ordered spaghetti. They sat down and waited for their food, when it arrived Ava dug in and she ate like she hadn’t eaten in days, that’s when she noticed a girl staring at her and she looked away embarrassingly. Bruce just stared at her as she ate and chuckled.

“What’s so funny?” she asked, “The way that girl looked at you because you have fish sauce on your cheek” he said and he took a napkin and reached out to clean the sauce off her cheek. Because of his gesture she just smiled, “Thank you” she said politely and she continued eating. They finished their meal and paid,  Ava looked full. They left the restaurant and walked a bit to the car.

He opened the car door for her, “Thank you” Ava said and he winked at her, “Cheeky” she said and he laughed and so did she. He got in and they drove off. “I don’t even know why I was present at the second meeting, it’s not like i said anything” Ava complained, “You have a huge role in the company so you have to be present” Bruce replied and Ava just rolled her eyes.

“The food at the restaurant was delicious” she said  since she didn’t want the car to be quiet, “it was” Bruce replied. Bruce left the car since he had gotten to his house and Ava took over the wheel.”Goodnight bossand drive safe” Bruce said, “Goodnight and there better be no meeting tomorrow” she said and Bruce chucked and waved his hands before he turned around to get into his house, she waved back and smiled before she stepped on the gas.

She drove off to her house which was just 20 minutes away. It wasn’t late when she got home and she was bored. She wasn’t too  tired since the food she ate a while ago quenched her tiredness somehow so when she got to her house, she removed the heels she wore and her leg ached a bit. She walked around a lot today since the meetings were on different floors. She had a bath, but she didn’t eat since she already ate at the restaurant. She lied down on her bed and slept.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
