"So when did you two become snuggle bunnies?" Susannah took a sip of her coffee looking pointedly at Ava over the rim of the cup.
"I wanted to talk to him last night and I fell asleep in his bed, is there anything wrong with that?" Ava squared her shoulders, daring Susannah to say something.
"Well no, but when you're caught kissing him, then yeah as your friend, I'm going to stick my nose where it doesn't belong and ask what's going on?" Susannah perched herself on the countertop.
"I don't know. We've just moved back into something that feels like our old relationship, I don't know what it is? But I like it." Ava rubbed her shoulder with her chin anxiously, looking out the window at the waves crashing on the beach.
"Whatever, just be careful." Susannah admonished her.
"Yeah I will." Ava replied quietly.
"Ladies what's for breakfast?" Johnny's voice boomed down the hall.
"Whatever you want to make yourself." Ava turned and walked to her room.
"Did I miss something?" Johnny looked puzzled as he watched Ava disappear down the hallway.
"What do you think?" Susannah rolled her eyes, she patted him on the shoulder and walked outside.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ava walked down the pier, resting her hands on the wooden railing she looked out at the water.
A cool wind brushed a strand of hair onto her cheek, pushing it back into its conformed place. She wondered why she was this kind of doubt at this point in her life. I'm 34 and I'm wondering why I've never gotten married or had kids yet. I'm not getting any younger, is it possible that I haven't committed myself because of my feelings for Johnny. I still like him a lot, but I don't know what kind of feelings I have: love, lust or just want, because he's the only sexually desirable man in my life and I haven't had sex in so long.
Ava threw her head back, closing her eyes she wished for a sign to point her in a direction that would distract from her current problems.
"Excuse me miss," a husky masculine voice sounded from behind her.
Ava turned and saw a beautiful blond man who looked to be in his early forties. "I was wondering if you could tell how to get to a beach café on Tunisia Drive?"
"Yeah, you just go right on Lakeshore and then left on Maple and you should see it when you cross Tunisia." Ava smiled at the man as he thanked her and left.
"Great an available desirable man and he can only ask me for directions." Shaking her head she stormed off back home down the pier.

Johnny sat at his desk, willing his mind to focus on something besides this image of Ava curled up in his arms in his bed, her face lifting to his for a scorching good morning kiss. "Damn it focus." He cursed himself.
"Talking to yourself?" a sexy voice said from the door.
"Kate, hi, any ideas about which house you want?" Johnny plastered on his happy fake smile.
"Not a house, but a particular man," Kate looked at him slyly.
"What'd you have in mind?" Johnny held his breath.
"How about dinner at my hotel tonight at eight?" Kate asked.
Johnny hesitated for a moment, his mind focused on his boss's words of a promotion and then Ava's face swam in front of him. "Sure, I'll see you at your hotel at eight."
"Great, see you then." Kate winked at him and sashayed out the door.
"Damn it." Johnny cursed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun slowly descended through the sky towards the horizon where it would eventually retire for the night and let the moon have reign over the night sky.
Ava opened her bedroom door to cook dinner, it was getting on to be seven o'clock. Derrick was at a friend's for dinner, Nicky was at Cameron's and Bradin was out with friends. So just a lonely dinner for one. She hadn't see Johnny since this morning.
A door slamming alerted her to someone else's presence. A dark sexy musk floated through the air. Johnny.
"Johnny are you there?" she called out.
"Yeah I'm in my room." His voice rang out down the hall.
"I was wondering what you wanted for dinner, I was going to make myself -" she trailed off as she stared in awe at his washboard bronzed chest revealed in all its glory.
Clad in only navy boxers, he was rifling through his closet for something to wear. Ava's stare of sexual desire stopped him in his tracks.
"Ava why are you looking at me like that?" Johnny asked, his tone coated with strain. As the front of his boxers slowly tented up.
Ignoring the voice of reason in her head, she moved forward until she was within touching distance. Running her hand slowly over his chest, she traced the ripple of muscle as it reacted nervously. Johnny inhaled deeply and watched her.
Lifting her head to look into his eyes, she saw an answering flicker of lustrous desire. His hands clasped her head and his lips touched hers.
Rough.
Wet.
Hard.
One hand at his neck holding him in place and her other hand at his hip as she arched against him. His lips moved down to her neck, nibbling until he found her pulse, beating like she'd just run a marathon.
Ava arched her neck and moved her hand down to his butt and squeezed. A soft moan left his lips as he grinded softly against her in answering desire.
The peal of the telephone shattered their haze and brought them back to reality. Stepping back from Johnny, Ava touched her lips, they felt swollen and tender.
"Hello?" Ava answered the telephone.
"Hi is Johnny there?" a female voice asked.
"He's in the shower." Ava evaded.
"Can you tell him that Kate called and that he should bring the champagne with him. Thanks." Kate hung up.
Ava was left with a buzzing dial tone.
Johnny stepped out of his bedroom dressed in a tasteful suit. Taking a deep breath, he pondered on how to approach Ava about what had just happened.
Ava walked up to him, a bottle of champagne gripped in her white knuckled hands. Shoving it into his hands, "Kate called and said for you to bring the champagne and that she would be waiting."
Johnny swallowed, waiting for her reaction.
Blazing eyes fired darts of lancerous rage at him. "Damn it Johnny, don't make me feel things that you don't return, I can't go through it again." Her outburst mottled her cheeks a fiery scarlet.
Turning on her heel, she stormed away. Johnny went to go after her. The slamming of the door stopped him.
