Ava didn’t like that at all, and it had caused a huge fight between them. Noah eventually caved, because this is Ava we are talking about and he loves his mom.
Sierra came to the party, but Noah ignored her the whole time. She spent most of that party exploring or glued to Ava’s side.” Lilly like the girl she is, she just rolls her eyes before chiming in. “Noah only hates her because Sierra likes him.

We don’t speak a lot after that. Breakfast was served and we all dug in. Lilly finishes before the rest of us and leaves to go to her room.
I finish my breakfast and bring my utensils to the sink. I was just about to leave when Gabriel grabs my hand and leaved.
“About our date tonight” he starts, as I try to ignore the currents that were zapping inside me from his touch.
I gently pull my hands from his and fold them under my ribs. “It’s pretty presumptions of you to think that I am going on that date when I didn’t even
u agree to it.” “I’m not being presumptuous, I'm just confident,” he says with a shrug anda panty melting smile.
