" We need to talk " Jayden said quietly, his voice heavy with an unusual gravity as he gestured toward the living room.

Ava felt the tension in the air, her heart pounding in anticipation of what Jayden might say next. He remained distant, staring off into the distance, making it harder for her to read his thoughts." What's going on, Jay? " Ava finally asked, her voice tinged with concern.He sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair, struggling to find the right words. " Ava, I've been feeling... lost, confused. I've been trying to make sense of it all, but I can't "Ava's stomach clenched, a sense of foreboding settling in. " What do you mean?

Jayden continued " And one more thing, Ava? No one will ever want you. That's a fact, you're so... " He shook his head, leaving his words hanging. He wanted her to imagine the worst thing anyone would ever call her. " How long has this been happening and why her?? " She asked, still dazed by his revelations. He took a seat again and crossed one leg over the other leisurely " Hmm... I've been sleeping with her for as long as I can remember, you were just too dumb to see it and as for the second question, she gives the best blowjob so why won't I be with her? I doubt you've ever touched a d*ck " He said and his voice held a mocking tone at the end. " So you're sleeping with my friend because I refused to have sex with you?! " She asked in a whisper, feeling sick all of a sudden. " Yup " He answered without giving a f*ck. Ava blinked back her tears quickly, refusing to break down before this son of a b*tch. " But I can stop everything if you sleep with me, I don't really love her.
Ava forced a polite tone. " It's alright, Hunter. I was just heading out for some grocery shopping "" Perfect timing! Listen, I know you've been busy lately, but I was wondering if maybe you'd like to grab dinner tonight? There's this new Italian place I've been wanting to try, and I think you'd really enjoy it " Hunter proposed eagerly. " I appreciate the offer, Hunter, but I'm not sure tonight works for me. I've got some things to take care of " she replied, hoping he'd take the hint." Come on, Ava! It'll be fun, I promise " Hunter persisted, undeterred by her polite refusal." Maybe another time " Ava tried to let him down gently. " I've really got to get going now, though. Take care, Hunter "" Alright, I'll catch you later then. Have a great day, Ava " Hunter said with a hint of disappointment before hanging up.The journey to the grocery store was a short walk from her apartment.
