CHAPTER SEVEN: AVERY
Iâve never been a dumb man, but the second I walk away from MaKenna Thompson, I start doubting myself.
Avery, do you want to be my man?
I hadnât been expecting the words and it made them hit me even harder in the chest. It slammed into me, mixing with the consuming rage that had shown up as the guest flirted with MaKenna. Right in front of me, as if he had the right to do so.
And I suppose he did, I hadnât laid any claim or even made my intentions completely clear to Kenna. And while she isnât a dense girl, sheâs definitely an oblivious one, so I already knew Iâd need to tell her how I was starting to feel about her or else sheâd have no clue.
But I was still very much debating on whether or not I intended on doing that.
I havenât made any permanent plans to stay here in Rosewell, hell I still don't have my feet underneath me and I have no game plan as to where I see my life going in the next few months. Itâd be selfish to get involved with Kenna knowing those facts. And I know that she doesnât need any more confusion or stress in her life than what she already has.
After a couple of well placed grunts and a few words, Iâd managed to convince her to hire two more people since the other two are already so unreliable. She has no faith that theyâre going to stay for long and theyâre both part time, but she really needs it. She canât keep pulling the hours that she does and even with us splitting them when her original two employees call in, itâs absolutely ridiculous.
So no, Kenna doesnât need any more stress or drama in her life.
But watching that damn Ricky fellow flirt with her, it felt like every fiber of my being was being lit on fire and I hadnât known how to put it out. Not even when it was clear that he knew what he was doing and was purposefully trying to rile me up. I still hadnât been able to figure out what to do.
Then MaKenna was pressing up against me, and today had to be the day that she had on a simple, thin, polka dot dress. There was no way to ignore the feel of her ass against me and no way to hide my resulting erection.
Avery, do you want to be my man?
Yes, I absolutely do, but thereâs so much that she still doesnât know about me, and I also have so many questions about her. I canât deny the clear attraction and chemistry, but thereâs more to a relationship than that and thereâs no way Iâll get involved with MaKenna until we both have everything laid out on the table.
But Iâd be a fool to not at least try.
Because a woman like that doesnât come around often. Cute, unique, willing to put up with my less than happy demeanor.
Sighing, I run my hands through my hair before climbing to my feet.
