Gavin Knight: From Rags to Richest

Confessions

 Aya wanted Gavin in this position with her. She is just a coward to admit that she fell in love at first sight with him. In fact, Gerard isn’t even outside at the moment. There are extra pairs of eyes guarding her and she is not yet ready to share that part of herself with Gavin.

 She is afraid to know how Gavin feels for her, but she is a greedy coward for wanting Gavin when she can’t be truthful to him. She slowly parted their faces. Aya can feel Gavin’s hot breath on her face. His eyes are closed and trailed her lips once more. His hand is still firmly caressing her hips. “Oh fu*k his lips taste so good.” She can’t help but kiss Gavin back.

In the heat of the moment, Gavin’s hand slid inside her shirt. She felt his warm hand on her bare skin, just like in her dream earlier. It is as electrifying as she imagined it to be, perhaps even more. She knows if this continues, there is no more looking back. She needs to take a grip on herself.

Their lips parted again, and she held his face and wiped her lipstick off his luscious lips. “Gerard is not here anymore.” She whispered to Gavin whose face is too hot and red, he is panting like he just ran a marathon.

  He opened his eyes and slowly let go of Aya. He exhaled heavily and softly held Aya’s cheeks. “I got carried away. I’m sorry.”

 Aya gently pushed him aside and got down from the counter. “It’s okay. You did well. I’m sure Gerard is fumingly convinced.” She tried to hide the tension with a smile. “I’ll just get something in my room, wait for me here.” Aya said before she left the scene.

  Gavin looked down and positioned his warrior properly. He tapped it as he shook his head. “Sorry buddy, today is still not the day.” Gavin mumbled.

Aya had to collect herself. That moment with Gavin is too much. If it happens again, she might not be able to take control anymore. “I can’t do this anymore. Fu** he tastes so good. I am going crazy. Is it time for me to give up on my rule?” Aya pacing back and forth in her room, trying to decide for her next move. 

 "Is it him? Or the feelings he stirred in me?" With the past relationships she failed, Aya is aware that it takes more than physical attraction to keep a relationship going. "Gavin, let's try it for real." She said, practicing the best way to say it to Gavin. She walked back to her store to talk to Gavin, but what she saw when she went back in ruined her plans and her day.

 “I’d like to have you and that bottle of wine, please.” Aya heard a familiar voice. "Oh, sorry, I meant that bottle behind you. But you know if you 're down for it, I might get down for you too." Jen said with a flirtatious smirk. Aya can sense something off, after all; she’s not really friends with Jen. She silently observed them from afar. Gavin smiled at Jen as he handed her the wine, but did not respond to her quirky remarks.

 Jen is extra touchy with Gavin. She purposely held his hand when she accepted the wine. “Oh, you have such enormous hands, I wonder what other big parts you have.” She said in a flirtatious tone. Then she took the pen from the counter and wrote something on Gavin’s palm. Gavin did not stop her; instead, he smiled at her until she left the store.

 Aya’s blood is boiling, seeing how he entertained her advances. She walked towards the counter with her hands on her waist. Her brows furrowed in disgust at the scene that she just witnessed.

 “Ahem. You look so happy seeing the bi*ch.” Aya said with no hesitation.

  “That was exemplary customer service, Aya. I tried my best.” He responded casually. His reply made her more furious.

“See? You don’t even call me babe anymore!” She blurted out without thinking thoroughly. She checked his palm. As expected, it was her phone number with a short message. Aya read the note out loud; “Join me for wine tonight XOXO.”

 Aya sighed in disgust. “Really, Gavin?” Her tone was reeking of jealousy. 

 “I will not go out with her, you know that.” Gavin answered with assurance.

 “I honestly, don’t know that.” Aya replied with angst.

“Hmm, yeah. You don’t.” He lowered his head, realizing Aya is saying the truth. They barely know each other and they are kissing and touching like they do. Gavin made up his mind. He can’t put Aya in such a situation. He needs to properly address his feelings for her.

 “Aya, listen. I know this whole situation is troubling for you. I don’t want to take advantage of you or anything. I will still help you with Gerard, but I want to get out of our contract.” He said it with a straight face.

Aya felt a blow on her ego. This is the first time someone dumped her like this. She can’t accept her fate and she is determined to get even with Gavin. “It’s not like I physically bound you with me, Gavin. You are free to leave anytime!” 

Her reaction surprised Gavin. If she is really just messing with him, why is she affected too much? Is his chance for a proper relationship with her is not as far-fetched? He faintly smiled, and it did not escape Aya’s sharp vision.

 “Are you making fun of me right now? As far as I know, there is nothing funny going on here, Gavin.” Aya was too stubborn to accept her case.

 Gavin walked closely to Aya. “If what you are saying is true… then why are you too affected? Are you jealous of Jen?” He wanted Aya to confess to him.

“You are dreaming of Mr. Gavin Knight. “Aya scrunched up her beautiful face to show Gavin how disgusted she is.

“If you say so Ms. Sofia White, then I will leave.” Gavin put up his poker face and started to take off his work vest. He glanced in Aya’s direction and saw the worry on Aya’s face. “Are you sure you want me to leave?” Gavin asked Aya again.

 She frowned and walked past Gavin to stay behind the counter without saying a word. Gavin took a deep sigh, seeing how stubborn his first love is. Luckily, his feelings for her are beyond this stubbornness that she keeps on showing him.

 Aya could not fathom her feelings, just right before she stepped out of her house she wanted to tell Gavin how she wants to try it out with him; a genuine relationship with him. “How could he give in with Jen’s slutty advances on him? I can’t get the right man aghhh” Her thoughts want to explode in frustration.

 Gavin folded the vest and handed it back to Aya. Aya accepted it, but Gavin did not want to take this opportunity to go to waste. He grabbed Aya’s hand.

  “Aya, let’s talk before I leave.” He said in his serious voice.

 “If you are determined to leave me, then there is no need for small talks Gavin. Just leave!” Aya removed her hands from Gavin’s grasp.

 “I did not say that. Who told you I want to leave you? It was you who keeps pushing me away.” Gavin chuckled at Aya. He can’t keep his serious face for so long when Aya is too cute, being jealous. “I just said, I want out of the contract because I failed your rule.” Gavin held Aya’s hand and kissed it. “I think I am falling for you and I want to do it properly.”

Aya was not sure if she heard Gavin properly. “He is falling for me? The stubborn, naughty and good for nothing me?” She could not put out herself right now. Even in a state of shock, she opted to stay quiet.

 Gavin knew that Aya was not ready to speak. He took the lead. “I just want you to know that moving forward, I will mean every word, every touch and kiss. I’m not willing to put up a show for Gerard anymore, Aya.”
