Waking up in the morning at 5 AM is pretty shitty when you've been up all night long. Abel spent the night and god knows they didn't get any sleep.
"You're never spending another night here." Ava tells him getting out of bed. The two of them spent the night talking about their relationship, Ava's fears, and what things will be like after high school.
"It wasn't my fault. You were the one who couldn't sleep." Abel tells her getting in the shower.
"Unbelievable. If you kept your hands to yourself, I could have gone to sleep." Ava mumbles to herself.
"I heard that." Abel yelled from the bathroom.
"Hurry up!" She yells back at him.
Half an hour later, Abel and Ava got in the car and went to the carnival. With his hand resting on her thigh, Abel drove into the parking lot and leaned over to give her a heated kiss.
"I can't fucking believe I gotta spend my day here." Abel says looking out at the preparations for the carnival.
"It won't be long. Trevor will be here and the two of you can keep each other out of trouble." Ava tells him teasing him as she slides her hand down his chest to his belt.
"Don't start what you can't finish. I'm gonna smack your ass one day, girl." Abel tells her with a husky voice.
"And maybe one day, I'll enjoy it." Ava tells him getting out of the car and walking towards Clay and the rest of the club.
Walking up to the food booth being set up, Ava says hi to Tara and Gemma.
"How are things going with him?" Gemma asks Ava putting her hand around her shoulder.
"He's driving me crazy." Ava laughs seeing Abel and Trevor walking towards them.
"Yeah, they always are." Gemma replies turning to look at the men in her life. Clay was standing with Jax and Juice no doubt talking about the dunking booth that Clay will be participating in. Clay had a lot to say
when he found out Gemma volunteered him for it but Gemma couldn't resist.
"Hey, Ava!" Trevor tells her giving her a brotherly hug.
"What's up? Maxie's getting pissed that you call at 2 in the morning, every morning." Ava tells him laughing at the grin on his face.
"That girl is fucking psychotic, but she's a hell of a chase." Trevor tells her eating some Doritos.
Ava tells him she's gonna go get ready at the ticket booth. Walking towards the entrance, Abel comes up behind her and whispers in her ear.
"Hey, babe." He tells her running his fingers along the line of bare skin above her jeans.
"You should come visit me in here." Ava tells him walking up to the booth.
"Hey, Abel! Come help us set this shit up." Opie yells out to him turning around with a blank stare on his face as he wonders why they got left with the shitty ass balloons.
"Yeah, I'm coming." Abel replies leaving Ava with a kiss on the neck. "I'll be by around lunch."
The carnival turned out to be pretty crazy. Almost every cop that was there tried out the dunking booth trying to beat Clay. By the time the day was through, Clay was aiming bullets with his eyes at
Gemma. He was soaked! Abel didn't have any better luck. The kids there trying to hit the baseball hit Abel and Trevor so hard when swinging, they were both limping by the time lunch came around.
"This is bullshit!" Trevor told Gemma when he came to get his lunch.
"Those kids can't hit for shit" Abel says putting some ice on his knee.
"Hey, don't be pussies." Gemma tells them rolling her eyes.
"Tara, the guys and I gotta go to the clubhouse to take care of something. You girls'll be okay here?" Jax asks Tara planting a kiss on her.
"Yeah, sure." Tara replies giving him a kiss.
"By the way, whose that guy with Maddie over there?" Jax asks feeling uneasy about a guy near his baby girl.
"Do not cause a scene." Tara warns him. "He's a kid from school. Abel knows him. Says he's an all right guy."
"Yeah, we'll see." Jax tells her but still glaring at the guy whose hand was making his way around Maddie's waist.
"I'll take care of it, dad." Abel tells him making his way over to his sister.
"Hey, Trevor. Go with him. Watch his back." Gemma tells him knowing how protective Abel can get over his sister.
"Hey, Maddie, Dean." Abel says coming up to stand in between her and this guy who's obviously trying to get in her pants.
"Hey, Abel." Maddie replies feeling the tension radiating off of her brother towards Dean. "Dean was telling me about his dad getting pulled over in Oregon. His dad's a truck-driver."Maddie continues trying to keep
Abel calm.
"Yeah." Dean says knowing that Abel was pissed off at him and trying to calm the situation down.
"Come on, Maddie. Dad needs you over there." Abel says glaring at Dean as Maddie waves goodbye.
"You're being an over-protective prick, Abel!" Maddie says to him feeling embarrassed.
"No, Maddie. What I just did was a lot nicer than what dad would've done. He's not a bad guy. Dad doesn't know him yet so try not to flaunt what's going on between you and Dean in front of him, all right?" Abel
tells her.
"Yeah, you're right." Maddie says walking up to her parents and taking the burger her mom handed her.
Abel went to see Ava like he promised. She looked tired and bored.
"Hey, babe." Ava calls out to him as he walks up to her and gives her a kiss resting his hand on her waist.
"How's it been?" Abel asks her taking a sip of his coke.
"Boring. Next time, we should pretend to be fucking sick and then the school will get off our backs about this shit." Ava says leaning into Abel and closing her eyes.
"It's almost done. Let me spend the night again. I'll let you sleep." He tells her.
"Okay." She whispers quietly.
On the drive home, Ava once again leaned into Abel and fell asleep. Abel carried her up to bed and undressed her, knowing how she hates to sleep in tight clothes. Laying down beside her, he wraps his
arms around her, thanking God that she's here with him.
