Hello Ex: Your Father Is Mine(Dear Ex: He's My Daddy Now.)

Chapter Three.

Ava POV

I had been at that party for thirty minutes, sitting at the bean bag that was sprawled in the living room area. It was the most spacious room in the cabin and back then my father had allowed me to fill in the space with things I wanted, hence the bean bag. We also has several mismatched couches that I thought were comfortable and funny looking and my dad didn't even bat an eye as I chose them.

He wanted it to feel as much mine as he had made it.

Eric had explained Amy's presence. Apparently she was the one who organised the party after her return from Europe. She had called Eric and told her she was returning to the states and as a way to apologize to him for leaving all those years, she decided to throw him a party.

Eric couldn't decline the goodwill of his 'best friend' and make it more awkward.

"She's really trying love." That's what he said and because I didn't want to talk to or about Amy I just said okay.

I stood from the bean bag and walked to the door, "where are you going?" I thought he wasn't looking at me but turns out he has been keeping an eye on me.

"I'll be back, I'm just going to grab something from the car." I told him opening the door.

He was immediately beside me, "please don't go, I know this isn't ideal but I promise all my friends are behaving and I'll have them out of here in an hour." I abandoned the door and looked into those black eyes, "you'll kick them out by 11pm?" I raised an eyebrow and he received that statement excatly as I meant it, as an accusation.

"Love I didn't plan to celebrate my birthday, but I am now and before it ends I can at least spend the last hour in a bubble with my loving, sweet girlfriend." He smiled sweetly but I was still pissed off so I said, "mmm!!" Leaving him there calling for me as I walked out.

I walked to the car and opened the glove box, I had already purchased his gift months ago and when I left our apartment I shoved it in there because even though I was angry, he was celebrating and I wanted to give it to him today.

I walked back in the house and the group was looking at me.

"You're making him kick us out?" Ken asked, I looked at Eric, "you know you could just join in the fun, besides this isn't even a party is more of a loud get together." Rueben said.

I was about to explain when f*****g Amy opened her mouth, "I still can't believe you're so immature Ava." I hate this b***h, Eric might have forgiven her but I didn't and the only reason she's still standing is because I love Eric.

"Look." She started as she approached me, "all of the high-school bullshit is behind us. I just wanted Eric to have a nice birthday with all his friends. Even if you're also invited."

Crack! My fist lands on her nose and it breaks then I accompany that with a severe backhanded slap and she stumbles but I want that b***h down so I trip her and she falls then I deliver a kick to her face and she bleeds some more.

None of that happens and as I resurface to reality she's still yapping, "....I mean Eric doesn't belong to only you."

I can feel my hands itching to make my fantasies come true and more, "Amy! That's too far, you do not speak to her that way!!" Eric remembers to say something. This is f*****g tiring.

"I wasn't saying it badly!" She retorts in that nasal voice of hers dripping is syrupiness.

"She's my girlfriend." Eric wants to look stern and angry but he looks so f*****g remorseful like saying those things to Amy is hard for him although truth.

Love shouldn't f*****g be an obligation!!

But I don't voice that.

"Man calm down...." John puts his hand on his shoulder, "she was just saying that you're our friend too and all of us care about you. It's not only Ava." That's all it takes for Eric to deflate.

He wasn't even riled up.

I toss the small pouch at him, "here. Happy birthday." I tell him because I'm tired. These people are in my sacred space without my permission and they are f*****g ganging up on me to protect my enemy.

And the worst part is that you're still taking it. No beast unleashed.

"You bought me a gift? When?" His eyes light up and I remember the reason I tamed the beast. It was because of him.

"I was going to give it to you when you came back but since you're celebrating, why not?" He doesn't open it instead he drops to his knees in front of me and says sweet nothings to me while I brush through his hair.

He finally looks up at me and says, "I love it! I love you!!"

That definitely pisses off miss Amy because she says, "you didn't open it how can you love it?" Eric doesn't spare her any glance only grins more and says, "I love everything about her, even things I'm yet to see."

Fuck! I'm a goner for this imperfect man.

I bend forward and we kiss slowly and deeply, sealing his declaration that had nothing to do with the gift but everything to do with me.

After the kiss he stands up and we're still tangled together, booping noses and grinning at each other.

"We still want to see the gift." Amy distrupts our sweet moment.

"Oh my God! Ames." Eric is definitely exasperated but he opens the pouch and inside he finds a rose gold Patek Philippe watch. His eyes grow huge and his smile spreads across his face as he starts jumping up and down in place. "Oh My God! Oh My God!! Ohhh Myyy Goddddd!!!" He finally screams jumping higher.

After having a moment to himself, he finally looks at me with still wide eyes and smile that reaches his eyes, "love!" He calls, "love!"

"What Eric?" Of course I know 'what' but I want my reward.

"You didn't! You literally didn't!!!" He's buzzing again and he grabs me by my sides and shakes me. Then he puts on the watch, "how did you afford it?" He asks me and I purse my lips.

Then the celebration stops, "what did you give up?" His eyes are narrow and he's not grinning like an i***t anymore and I don't like that.

"It's fine Eric, I have paid off most of the money and by December I'll be making my last payment on it. So seriously don't worry about it. I really didn't sacrifice anything. It's all good." He still doesn't believe me.

"The store I bought it at really likes my honesty, and since I had enough saved up to pay 70 percent for the watch, they were okay with me setting up a payment plan." I lie through my teeth but the smile that doubles in size on his face is all worth it. And he picks me up and spins me around while yelling "you're the best!! YOU'RE THE f*****g BEST!!!"

Amy shits on the mood by grabbing Eric's wrists and inspecting the watch, "it's a fake." The room goes quite and all eyes land on me.

"There's no legitimate store that would sell a Patek Philippe on credit."

Well I f*****g know that Amy!!!

She sighs and walks to her bag, pulls out a pouch, "seriously Ava, you shouldn't try to be what you aren't just to show off. Eric is with you and he has accepted that you just don't have the money."

I still don't say anything as Eric opens the pouch and finds yet another Patek Philippe watch. But this one is custom made, it's green which is Eric's favorite color and it's center is surronded by fancy deep green diamonds and the belt is lined with Emerald stones.

I walk to the small table that holds the three tier cake and I grab the small knife and jam it into Amy's left eye then I take the green watch and shove into her mouth then I bury her face into the f*****g cake I know she brought while I scream at her to die!!!

"You can be the little girlfriend. I'll spoil him rotten. Deal?" She extends he slimy hand and the smug smirk she wears makes me want to actually stab her.

I was actually about to slap her when I looked past her, down the hallway and saw my fathers study slightly open.

"WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. f**k!!!!" I'm not yet screaming but Eric doesn't even notice where my eyes are cause he was busy putting on Amy's watch on his other wrist when he says, "love, she doesn't mean it like that."

"f**k you! And f**k her! I'm not talking about that." I push past them and everyone looks at me with horrified stares.

"You opened my father's study!!!!!????" Now I'm yelling.

"f**k!!" He has the decency to know he f****d up, then he takes off Amy's watch and hands it to her.

"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry." He starts but I'm not hearing it not about this.

"You f*****g know the RULES ERIC!!!" Now I'm screaming.

"f**k Love. I‐ I can ex‐ explain." He's definitely panicking because he shakes his head as if trying to shake off his drunkenness.

"What b***h ass explanation DO YOU HAVE FOR BREAKING THE ONE RULE I HAVE FOR THE CABIN!!!" The tamed beast beneath me is breaking every f*****g chain I put around it one at a time. It's enraged and not even Eric's nervous face can calm it.

He's supposed to be f*****g pissing himself!!

I guess noticing his nervousness fuels it's strength.

"It's just that Ames wanted a tour and I just couldn't say no to her when she begged to see the whole place." He's rapidly explaining, "but I swear love. Everything's okay!" My world goes very quite as the beast beneath me finally breaks free. It stands still behind the door of it's prison.

He couldn't f*****g say 'No!' To the skank ass b***h that left him when he had nothing.

Rip his f*****g tongue off!!!

I take a deep breath in and refocus my vision then just behind Eric I see another open door.

"My childhood bedroom??" My voice is calm now, but that just means the storm is brewing.

"Like I said, she wanted a tour." He bought it, he thinks I have conceded yet again.

"Ava, they're just rooms okay. Nothing interesting about them. Just photos of you and your father hanging everywhere." I narrow my eyes on her, my beast has been starving and before I let it loose, I need it fed.

"Now stop acting angry. This was about you buying Eric a fake watch. We haven't forgotten about that." She snorts and the group behind her snicker.

I look at Eric and that's when he forces himself to speak, "Ames. Please not now!"

Not now? So later? He's so pathetic.

I walk to the study and before I close it something catches my eye so I open the study and I'm horrified. The desk is a mess, and some photos are scattered on the floor, the chair is completely out of place and the big L-shaped couch has dents on it like someone had sat on it or f*****g walked on it.

I want to f*****g scream but not yet, I furiously turn around and walk to my childhood bedroom, "Love... Ava pleas wait..." ohh so now he's begging.

I don't listen and get in anyway and the sight shatters me completely.

My bed is a mess, it's supposed to be made, it's always made. But the duvet is on the floor, the covers are nowhere to be seen and my bed is f*****g naked. But that's not the worst part. The worst part is the wooden bed frame, the wooden bed frame that my dad made for me with his own hands. It's broken, not just little broken but completely broken.

I don't go cold this time, I run hot. I run so hot, I feel the sweat going down my back and some gathering in my temple.

"It's broken." I don't stutter, when I'm having an attack I'm psychotic not anxious.

"Love..." he's useless so I look at Amy, "between the tour and now what happened?" And she definitely loves this s**t because her lips curl up slightly.

"We were playing truth or dare, and Anthony dared me to dance in the study. You know give them a show since I have been touring all the dance shows in Europe." That explains the study but not the bedroom so I press, barely holding myself back. I need to know first.

"And the bedroom?" My voice is cold devoid of any emotion but they mistake it for calmness, "ohh that!" She seems amused as she snickers throwing her head back. "I liked Anthony's dare so much, so I dared Eric to dance with me for ten minutes in the bedroom and well he enjoyed it so much that we broke the bed frame." She's blushing, "it wasn't like that..." Eric doesn't deny it just becomes pathetic.

"Ohh so you took a f*****g axe to my bed frame because it looks destroyed!" The rise of my voice is not a threat.

"No!!" He immediately shakes his head.

"Well we did take some wood for the fireplace." I snap and lunge at the skank, my fist connects with her face once, then twice and then we're on the floor. Eric screams something but I'm living my fantasy so I don't care as I straddle Amy and slap her twice on the face and before I can reign punches, Eric jacks me up and removes me from her. Im not saying anything but my body is thrashing and fighting reaching for that b***h while my head scream 'LET ME AT HER!!!!

"Ava! Ava stopppp!!!" Eric has caged me between the wall and himself.

"For f***s sake is this all worth this much fight??" I land an indefinite smack on his face so hard that it resounds through the hall. I have gone non-verbal so my only language is violence as I kick him on his shin twice before I deke him so hard that he stumbles backwards.

Amy comes to his rescue and checks him over asking if he's okay.

"Ohh My God Ava, you didn't have to hit him so hard for this s**t. I had already said I will pay for everything." The motherfucker nods.

"It's not like they're expensive, I can have a totally better bedframe installed plus that study definitely needs redecorating." I can't believe this, "yes love. Amy promised to replace everything and even pay for the cleaning services for the next year. Wouldn't it be nice to finally not worry about any of this?"

I now actually can believe this.

Amy snaps her fingers and one of the girls, I don't remember her name right this moment but she brings her purse like a good little minion.

Amy produces a black card and hands it to me, "here! You can also take yourself shopping. Consider it payment for emotional damage." My eyes land on Eric again and he seems to understand I'm questioning him, "love, just take it okay. Ames will just keep haunting you then."

The illusion cracks and some pieces fall off while some remain.

"Ohh My God, Ava it's a black card. I know you don't know but it literally doesn't have a spending limit. So buy an entire mall for all I care."

More pieces fall off but the image still stands and I find my voice again.

"Get the hell out!!!" The temperature in the room goes wayy f*****g down. Eric tries to speak but I yell, "If you guys don't leave now, I'm calling the police and I'm escalating everything." Everybody starts moving.

"You leave with them!!" It's like I just threw cold water on him but he moves.
