“Please tell me this is not happening" her head began to sweat like hell once she saw that the man who was talking the packages inside his home wad Liam.

“That’s what I was talking about. Now tell me, is it the Satan meeting that’s going on there?” Jammy pinched Ava in brag about what surprise he had for her.

“This is the worst nightmare holy devil" Ava exclaimed and sighed at her fate. She was hell bound on ignoring her unacceptable feeling and then this happens. How could she even keep him out of mind if she was to see him everyday!!!

“What happened to you all of a sudden?? Please don’t tell me that he doesn’t meet your high standards and you’re taking his influence on you as infatuation” Jammy had some clue about what was going on in Ava’s mind and that was exactly what she was going to say to him. There was no way she was going to let anything in the world unveil her secret be it a silly crush!!!

“Oh yeah buddy, that’s what’s happening and he’s not my choice" she grinned at him contemptuously and went downstairs only to see that her parents were all set to welcome the new neighbours for a dinner that night itself.

“Why the heck do you guys want to hurry up things?? They just shifted and shouldn’t we give them some time?” Ava bawled at her parents and they were confused with her reaction.

“And we thought he was the guys Jammy talked about" her dad James looked at new with a skeptical eyes and Ava gulped down her nervousness.

“That’s not happening” She again exclaimed her final decision on them and they also stood wondered by her words.

“She told me the same dad. I think your daughter will die a virgin and you guys will have to rely on me to see your future grandchild" Jammy also came downstairs and tossed himself onto the couch as told that to their parents and Ava’s jaws dropped hearing his theory. Whom to blame, he revenge saga gave the same ending in every birth and she remained loveless and a virgin for whole time she was alive!!!

“Dude. How could you say that?” Ava screamed at him in embarrassment and a knock on the door distracted them from their feud.

“Get the doors Ava" Lela told her from the kitchen and she obey it as a good girl and took the door and it was none other than Liam. She was exposed and there was no way she could excuse herself from it!!!

“Ava. You live here?” Liam was wonderstruck on seeing her at the door and his blue eyes were fixed on hers like everything else had vanished.

“Uhm...yeah. This is my home and I see that you’re our new neighbours” she grinned blankly and he smiled at her. That smile was so powerful that it struck her heart and it turned on her blood to a bolting hit!!

“Oh, I didn’t know that but lucky us" he chuckled knowing they were neighbours and his red face clearly showed how euphoric he was on knowing that. It was a pure coincidence.

“Uh yeah...wait why are you here? I mean...” the situation jumped into a pretty awkward pace for Ava and she trued to avoid it and so did Liam who had forgotten the reason he came for when he met her.

“Yeah bout that. Can I borrow a scissors? I couldn’t find mine anywhere in between all those stuffs" he asked her and she quickly went to the kitchen to grab one.

“Hey, Liam. Why don’t you come in and have some coffee. And call your mom also” Lela called him in from the kitchen and Liam wasn’t expecting that invitation and Ava was stunned as she didn’t want that to happen.

“Thanks ma’am. But maybe later" he excused himself not wanting to rush things and make Ava more nervous as he could see her go nervous hearing her mother.

“Come one son. Get some rest and call you mom also. Get back to work after a cup of hot coffee" James was nice and hostile to them and warmly welcomed them in and Liam could no longer excuse as they were insisting.

“What bout his dad?” out if the blue, Ava ended up blurting that question and everyone went silent making Ava worry in tension. She was so anxious as they turned pale and looked at each other, especially Liam, who froze with the question.

“It’s just us Ava” Liam gave her the answer and she understood the blunder she made and was hell guilty of it.

“I’ll take a leave now" Liam lost his smile and went back to his home after thanking Ava for the scissors and Ava quickly ran behind him, immersed in guilt.

“Hey. I’m sorry for that. I didn’t know" she hastily ran to him and apologized for the blunder and Liam looked at her with wide eyes.

“No worries. Not everyone can know everything and that’s not at all an issue" Liam immediately took the matter lightly and brought back his lost smile that made Ava relaxed from her guilt. A moment ago, she wanted to be as far away from him possible but unknowingly she kept going to wards him and she had no idea why!!!

“Why don’t you meet my mom as you have come this far?” Liam asked her humbly and as she didn’t realize they were standing right in front of Liam’s home and as an act of apology, she accepted the offer and went in.

The whole house was decked with a hell lot of boxes and from behind the boxes, the voice of a women was heard. The voices wasn’t that old and had a touch of an independent women’s confidence to it. Liam took Ava to his mother who was on phone talking with the agency about the successful shifting.

“Hey mom, this is Ava I told you about and she happens to be our neighbour" Liam called out to his mother and in front of Ava stood a women in her late 40's and looked way younger than her age. Her hair flowed down to her waist with curls on the end and there was not a single wrinkle on her face. In a gist, she was looking absolutely gorgeous!!!

But, on the first sight itself, after observing her top to bottom, an intuition hit Ava as she had seen that face somewhere but couldn’t think where she had seen it. Liam then snapped his fingers in front of her eyes to bring her to senses and she blinked a lot.

“You look stunning" Ava accidentally blurted out in amazement and daze due to which both Liam and his mother ended up laughing.

“Thank you so much Ava. And I must say, you are nothing less" she thanked Ava for the compliment and Ava grinned in awkwardness as she complimented him back.

“Ava, this is my mom Hayley" Liam introduced them to each other and Ava extended her hands for a shake and Hayley looked at her stunned and then proceeded to give her a warm hug. That was pretty fast movement and Ava stood frozen in her arms. She had no idea on how to react in that particular moment!!!

When Hayley hugged Ava, she was able to smell a strange and unique scent in Hayley's long curly hairs that triggered her memories. The scent was quite familiar to her and she tried hard to remember where she had got the same. Yet, whatever it was, it was very soothing and was too much connected to mother nature.

“Nice to meet you” Ava greeted her back both smiled to each other.

“I’m really happy that your family are our neighbours. I must say, they’re really lovely and hostile towards us and made us feel really hostile" Hayley praised Ava’s family and started talking many thing and in-between the talk, Ava’s mind again slipped to the thought of the intuition she had.

A strong feeling that she knew Hayley was reaching her brains and this story was just beginning to become a much bigger spiral for Ava to solve.....
