“But clearly you are since you’re here”

“Clearly I a no, even now,” I said

“Do you want me to?”

I gazed into her big, round eyes as they implored me for an answer Her curves Her innocence It all called to ht about Ava in that way I’d only seen her as a potential friend, ht about sleeping with her or having any sort of relations with her

Until now

“I’m here, and I haven’t said no But just because I haven’t said no doesn’t mean you can’t, Ava You need to understand that,” I said

“I know I do,” she said

“I’m sorry Camilla didn’t tell you about us”

“She apparently hasn’t told s”

“Are you okay?”

“I think I should be asking you the same question,” she said

I nodded as I walked around the roo in the expanse of it all

“It’s very romantic,” I said

“What is?”

“The room”

“Yeah I suppose Imy interview”

“It’s nice”

“You think?” she asked

“I do I think a lot of people undervalue the impact of romance and what it can do for a particular situation”

“Do you like romance?”

I turned to her, a mere five feet between our bodies

“I do”

“Camilla has no idea what she’s lost in you,” Ava said

“Well, maybe it’ll be for the better in time,” I said

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“About what?”

“What happened between you and Camilla?”

“I’m not really sure if that’s a line I should cross with you She ht want to tell you in her own time in, her oay”

“Really? We’re standing in a rooreed to sleep with one another, and we’re discussing not crossing lines?” she asked

“Okay I’d rather not talk about it then”

“Fair enough”

Ava brought up a good point, though She was irlfriend’s best friend I couldn’t cross that line And wasn’t there so with her friend’s ex?
