Love In Between

Ava returned back to living room and found Andrew having a time with Chloe. She smiled seeing how comfortable Chloe was getting around him.

“You know you owe me an apology right?” Andrew stated the moment he laid eyes on Ava. He was still angry over how she had left the party to attend to business calls.

“Am truly sorry babe. Some random guy called on the phone and informed me about Mason attempting to complete a deal with CT wines. I had to go stop that deal from happening.” Ava revealed, as Andrew dropped Chloe right back to the floor.

“I have been meaning to ask this question though. The rivalry between CT wines and Quinns sprang out of what exactly?” Andrew asked, walking over to Ava and wrapping his hands around her shoulder, while staring at her.

“Well, it’s mostly about the competition. It’s more like both companies having battling to see who rules the country. This means anyone could attempt to use an evidence to ruin the company just to see the other succeed.” Ava explained in details.

“I know you aren’t having such thoughts are you?” Ava laughed, placing a kiss on his cheeks.

“We both know I wouldn’t do that to my competitors. Heck if there is no competition, there would be lackluster in the growth of the company.” They both laughed, while Andrew kissed her afterwards.

“You know something babe, I have been meaning to take us to the pack to spend quality time. Chloe, yourself and me. Atleast we are family so let’s create that bond that needs to exist between us.” This was one of the reasons Ava admired Andrew. He was always pulling thoughtful ideas to bring the family together and this is surely one of them.

“I am in.” Ava replied.

“See Chloe, mummy already accepted. So we are going to the pack tomorrow.” Andrew directed his statement to Chloe, who was still watching Nickelodeon. She got up to her feet and squealed with joy. It was much obvious to Ava that it was a planned work after all.

The next day right after they had their breakfast, Ava, Chloe and Andrew all head out to the pack, which was also filled with several family. Ava was glad that Andrew had made such suggestion. She was also needing a private time herself as she had been preoccupied with work these past weeks.

“Mummy, I want to go play in the swings.” Chloe revealed as Andrew and Ava set up their mat.

“Alright baby, don’t hurt yourself.” She yelled as the little one ran towards the swings with some couple of friends. “Oh dear, she is already there.” Ava indicated as Andrew pulled out a couple of fruits from the back pack.

“Seriously? Fruits to the pack?” Ava asked.

“Thought it would be good for us.” Andrew said and got to sit at the mat as well. While the duo engaged in further conversation, Ava decided to look up to where Chloe was playing and noticed a familiar figure talking with her.

“If you will excuse me.” Ava said, pulling Andrew hands away from hers and walking over to Chloe.

“What are you doing here Bruce?” Ava asked as Bruce let go of Chloe as she went to play with the rest of the kids.

“Came to see my child.” Bruce indicated with a smile on his face as he stared at Chloe. “She took her father’s nose and your eyes of course.” He admitted.

“Bruce, you have no reason to be here. Kindly leave.” Ava declared, blocking his sight and away from Chloe.

“You are going to keep me away from my child? Ava? Is that what you are trying to do? This is the pack and it would only create a scene.” Bruce revealed as he looked around, seeing the people walking about and further more playing.

“Bruce, I already told you. I don’t want to have anything to do with you. Keep Noir while I keep my child.” Ava reminded.

“What is going on here?” Andrew suddenly stepped into the scene.

“You must be Andrew. My name is Bruce and I am Ava’s wife and father of that child.” Bruce indicated, extending his hand for a shake with Andrew.

“Are you being serious right now Bruce? This is nothing short of being childish.” Ava replied, while Andrew kept his stares at Bruce.

“Listen man, I came here to see my child and I don’t mean any harm.” Bruce indicated.

“She doesn’t want you around her child. Haven’t you done enough harm already?” Andrew revealed, pulling Ava behind him.

“Look man, we don’t need to create a scene here. I came in peace.” Bruce said, standing his ground. Andrew was equal heights with and he was never the one to be intimidated.

“I will you to leave at once.” Andrew declared.

“I am not going anywhere till she assures me of getting to have time with my child.” Bruce revealed.

“Listen man, I am very dangerous and you don’t want to go up against me. Which is why I am not going to repeat myself again.” Andrew warned, his hands folded into fist. Ava tries to calm the situation as it was already creating scene.

“Stop being a simp and step away. This is my child and I have every right to see her whenever I want.” Andrew launched at Bruce and the two went at it, exchanging punches and delivering fatal blows to their faces.

“Stop it!” Ava pleaded as she tries to separate the two of them. The children already stopped playing and was watching the scene, while the adults pulled thei phones out to capture the fight.

“Andrew enough.” Ava pleaded as she finally pulled him away.

“You haven’t heard the last of me Bruce. I am going to ensure I screw you up!” He yelled as Bruce also gets up to his feet. He adjust his t-shirt and stared at Andrew.

“You seriously bitten more than you can chew. I will be back for them.” Bruce assured and left the pack, while everyone kept recording the moment.
