"Please, Speedy" He grabsup atwill My heartbeat has tripled in ti my hand, and h--"I’ll co better to do right noay"

Ava
Gabe lives in West Hollywood, so we’re actually heading back in the direction of where I left my car, which I’ll need to pick up later
He directs , and he tells me to park his car in one of his two allotted spaces in the underground parking lot
I help him out of the car, and he allows me to, which is a miracle in itself He’s been a lot y earlier We’ve still bickered, of course It would be weird if we didn’t
I hand hiot a boot on, which goes up to just below his knee It seeuess the doctor knows best
And Tate wants hiht off his foot for the next feeeks, so no walking on it--hence, the crutches
He looks kind of funny and not just because of the boot and crutches But Tate had to cut off the leg of his pants, so the boot could be fitted So, he has one leg of his pants cut above the knee while the other is still long
We go inside the building and step into a huge lobby area to reach the elevators
Gabe lifts his hand in greeting at the older man behind the security desk "Hey, Harry"
The , Mr Evans What on earth happened to your leg?"
"Oh, she broke my foot" He jerks his head atpeople that! Even if it is true
The security man’s eyes briefly come to me, and then a sh?" he asks Gabe
Gabe laughs "Yeah, probably"
"Thought so" Harry chuckles "You needto be taking care of "
"Shall I add her to the approved list?"
"Sure"
"My name’s Ava, not Speedy," I tell Harry
"Ava Got it Good to meet you, Miss Ava"
"You, too" I ss its arrival, and the doors open
"Catch you later, Harry," Gabe says
"Bye, Harry"
Once we’re inside the elevator, Gabe puts a key in the control panel, turns it, and then presses the button for the penthouse
Figures
We ride up in silence, and I have a sudden bout of nerves
I’ to Gabriel Evans’s apart just who I’ with hiuy
He is a noruy, dummy
Who just happens to be adored byup to his apartment
It feels a little more than surreal
And, when the elevator doors open into his apartain of exactly just who he is
