Taming Ava & Fixing Jax - A Modern Fairytale

Chapter 50 Dreams of Fairy Godfathers

"

Jax spent the forty-five minutes ride from the airport to the resort pointing out guys on the street to Ava and asking if she thought the guy was hot. The guys were obviously gay because they were with boyfriends. Jax would laugh. Ava wanted to give him a good jab in the stomach with her elbow, but instead she just ignored him. He had the maturity of a high schooler and was highly toxic.

The resort was large and sprawling boasting more than half a dozen restaurants and a dozen different snack areas right on a private beach. Jax and Ava's room was on the sixth floor with a large patio and an ocean view. It had a sofa and a couple of chairs, a desk and a large flat screen TV opposite the king sized bed. That pleased Ava. She didn't like anyone sleeping close to her.

"What do you want to do about dinner tonight?" Jax asked.

"Grab something in the hotel restaurant. I'm tired. Flying always exhausts me."

"OK. I was looking at the information Jeeves sent me. I'm going on a helicopter ride tomorrow, but you aren't down as going with me."

"I don't like flying and heights. Jeeves knows that. When he returned from Hawaii last year, he raved about the helicopter ride. I'm having hula lessons instead."

"You OK with us doing separate things?"

"OK with it? I'd prefer it," Ava said.

"Sorry I bothered to ask," Jax said sarcastically.

They grabbed burgers for dinner in the restaurant and had ice cream with pineapple lava sauce for dessert. That night, Ava read a romance novel on her tablet while Jax watched TV. They were like an old married couple.

The next morning, Jax left for his helicopter tour. For the first time since she'd discovered him in her bed back in Charming, Ava had a little bit of freedom. She wasn't used to having someone around all the time and she found having the constant company especially a man as toxic as Jax tiring.

Today they were having a low key day. After Jax returned and she finished her hula lesson, they would have lunch served to them in their beachside cabana. For dinner, they would try another of the resort's restaurants. As far as tomorrow went, Jeeves had given them several options. Ava wished one of the options was for them to have separate honeymoons. She'd have a much better time alone.

At least Jax hadn't tried to have sex last night. That was about the only thing that would have made the whole honeymoon thing worse. Her father was probably having a good laugh over sticking her with Jax for this fun filled honeymoon.

She wished she could live inside the dream she'd had last night. It was haunting her like when you hear a song and can't get it out of your head. In her dream, she was watching what was happening like it was a TV show. Three guys showed up at the hotel and said they were Jax's fairy godfathers and they were going to teach him how to be a proper non toxic man.

It had been wonderful. One taught him that his body was all wrong and he needed to quit lifting all those weights. He could be strong but all the muscles weren't necessary. A secure man didn't need muscular bulges to be a man. Jax was shocked at this and instantly realized that he was insecure and that's why he worked out. He vowed to quit working out so he could attain the type of body Ava preferred and that was non toxic.

Another of the fairy godfathers took Jax for a makeover. Gone was the shaggy blonde hair and disgusting facial hair. Jax's hair was cut in the parted on the side medium length style that Ava liked. He was cleanly shaven. For the first time since she met him, he looked better. Less like a thug and a criminal and more presentable like a man she wouldn't mind being seen with.

That fairy godfather also took him shopping for clothes. No more jeans, T-shirts and that disgusting leather vest. He could at least wear one that was vegan leather. He had clothes a Hallmark hero would be right at home in. There were even a couple of suits. Jax in a navy suit, crisp white shirt and a dark blue tie with short hair and a clean shaven face was actually not a terrible looking guy. She still wasn't attracted to him because it would take awhile for the muscles to go down, but it was a start.

The third fairy godfather fixed all of Jax's toxic masculinity so he was so woke, he could give Prince Harry and the Hollywood elite lessons on wokeness. He was super woke. Ava actually felt some pride when, at the urging of this fairy godfather, Jax gave a speech about toxic masculinity and how he had changed.

If Jax could just attain Hallmark hero perfection, she might be willing to give him a chance with her. If only her dream could come true. When she got back to Charming, she was going to find some guys to give Jax a makeover like in her dream.
