Chapter 0143

“Never in my life have I seen a person’s heart melt so fast when it comes to my dog. Most

people usually find him annoying as hell” the warm voice makes me whip my head so fast,

I almost break it in the

process.

Holy smokes. The man was hot this close up. Black hair, green eyes, high cheekbones, a

chiselled jaw line, l*ps that begged to be k*ssed and a b*dy that enticed you to do dirty

things. He was freaking hot and

he knew it.

I know what you’re thinking. ‘Slow down Ava, you got fooled once by great looks, don’t

make the same

mistake again‘.

I wasn’t. I swore off love and men, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate a fine

specimen when I

see one. I’m not blind.

“Have we met before?” The words tumble out of my mouth before I can stop them. “It’s

just that you look

familiar“.

He stares for a while before answering. “Yes, we used to go to the same school, you were

two years

behind me“.

I try to remember him, but it still doesn’t ring much of a bell. Probably because I was so

obsessed with

Rowan that I didn’t see anyone else.

“Calvin Garcia” he supplies when I still continue staring at him confused.

The moment he mentions his name, it hits me.

“Oh my goodness, you’re Nerdy Cal” for some weird reason, I shriek this.

He groans at the name he used to go by when he was in school. He glares at me, but it

doesn’t faze me at

all.

Wow, you had a big F***ing glow up” I stare at him dumbfounded.

The Cal I remember was skinny, with too wide glasses that kept slipping down his nose. He

had braces

and his face used to be covered in big red pimples.

He was also a nerd, spent most of his time studying in the library while others his age

were busy F***ing

in the janitor’s closet.

To simply put it, he wasn’t someone you would look at twice.

He looked good now. Really good. I am glad that everything worked out for him. He

changed into someone any woman would die to have. He was now in the same category

as Rowan.

“Yeah, well, thanks” he says awkwardly.

“I also remember you used to have a massive crush on Emma, how did that crush turn out

for you?” I teased. I wasn’t trying to be mean or anything.

When he wasn’t studying, just like all the other boys, he was busy following Emma around

like a lost puppy.

The only problem was that Emma had eyes for Rowan only. When they started dating, they

were the it

couple.

Every boy except Gabe and Travis wanted to be in Rowan’s shows. Every girl wanted to be

in Emma’s

shoes.

“And you loved Rowan, how did that turn out for you?” He fired back in irritation.

“Touché” I murmur.

The pain was still there, but I managed to push it away.

I didn’t know Cal that way, but I thanked God on his behalf. Thanked him for looking after

Cal, happy that he never got a chance with Emma.

Emma’s love for Rowan would have destroyed him, just like Rowan’s love for Emma

destroyed me.

“Dad, can I watch TV?” The sweet voice pulls me from my bitter memories.

I turn to find a cute boy standing behind Cal. He had the same captivating green eyes as

his father.

I

“Hi, my name is Ava” I just couldn’t help myself.

“Hello” he says shyly, and my heart immediately falls in love with him.

“What’s your name?” I ask him gently.

Gunner

1 have a son about your age, his name is Noah. How about you come over and meet him

when he gets out of school? He’ll be excited to have a new friend.” I pause before adding.

defeat.

I stare at him. My eyes focused on his. I was trying to decode him, and I wasn’t ashamed

of that. There was something in his eyes that called out to me.

He shifts uncomfortably. “Well I’m sorry that Rex ruined your garden. I’ll get someone to

come tomorrow

and fix it“.

So the husky was called Rex? It sort of fitted him.

“Rex” Cal called him, and he immediately went to his owner.

After he gives me a nod and Gunner gives me a smile, they leave my backyard through a

very opening that I have never noticed before.

I stare at their backs as they walk to their house. It’s only after they’ve left, and I’ve been

standing there like an idiot that I realize what I saw in his eyes.

I saw pain. I saw hurt. I saw a wounded soul

In his eyes, I saw the same kind of darkness that I have been trying to run away for years

without much

In him, I saw a kindred spirit.

Even as all these revelations flooded my mind, I couldn’t help but wonder what had

caused him such pain.
