The Wolfs Maine - By Jinni James Page 0,38

what happened the last time. Nicholas almost killed him so I can understand him not wanting me to go.

I walked back over with everyone else and sat back down. It was settled, the love of my life and his friends were going to go hunt down my possibly vampire ex-boyfriend; and Jaci, Lena, and I would hang around the house with a babysitter. Joy. Why did I feel like a teenager who had been grounded? Then we heard a knock at the door.

"That must be them. Let’s go check out the eye candy because if they look anything like John and Michael I'm going to be in eye candy heaven!" Jaci blurted out. Jaci's mind was always in the gutter.

John opened the door and let them in, introducing each one as they entered. The first guy to walk in had jet black hair with green eyes, something I had never seen. He was tall and lean. He wasn’t as muscular as the others but not skinny. He had a five o'clock shadow that most women love. The man must have loved black because that's all he was wearing, black t-shirt, black jeans, and black boots.

"This is Victor." The name suited him.

The next guy to come through the door was very much blonde hair and blue eyed. He was a walking Abercrombie and Fitch model. He was a tad shorter than the rest but cut. I mean you could see his abs through his Ralph Lauren polo. He looked like the type of guy you hope to see at the beach.

"And this is Andrew. He will be staying with you girls while we look for Nicholas." Andrew bowed slightly but when he came up his eyes were locked on Lena.

"I'm happy to be here and no worries. I will make sure nothing happens to any of you. I'm sure we'll be bored more than anything." Right now, that was a comforting thought. John came over and kissed me goodbye and a subtle smack on the butt and whispered in my ear.

"I will be back before you know it and everything will be fine. You and I will begin our much long overdue life together." Then John and his friends were gone.

"So what do we want to do?" Jaci is going to be the hard one to keep still. She's used to eighty hour days in the ER not sitting around the house. Suddenly we heard a noise and couldn't place what on Earth it was. Andrew was standing in the living room with a remote in hand while this huge flat screen just started dropping out of the ceiling.

"You girls could have a movie night or a show marathon and I make a mean martini." I did not know if Lena noticed the slight wink Andrew just gave her or if she would even care. She has never been the one to jump into things with men. I realized it could be because she always thought she was weird but now that she knows there are others like her that might just get her to open up a bit. Jaci was already going through the TV guide app on her iPhone.

"Oh you guys! There's a Sex and the City marathon on right now! Aces. Give me the remote sexy!" Jaci grabbed the remote out of Andrews’s hand which he gladly handed over and she plopped down on the couch where Lena and I soon followed.

Andrew went and hung out behind the bar. He brought us all kinds of different martinis. He had Cosmos, Apple-tini's, Sky blue martinis, and the list went on and on. They were all different colors, pink, blue, green, just every color you could think of was sitting on this platter.

We drank and watched our marathon for hours. Actually Jaci and I watched our marathon. Lena however, was over at the bar with Andrew talking. They would make a cute couple if it went that way. I felt my phone vibrate and saw it was a text from John.

‘No luck tonight. That bastard is smart. I hope you’re having a good time. We are headed back now. See you soon my love.’

I just could not help my smile every time he text me or called me or looked at me.

"Hey everyone! John just texted Ava!" Jaci was giggling like a school girl.

"Thank you Jaci."

"So what did Mr. Hottie say?" She was definitely drunk.

"He said they had no luck tonight and they are headed back now." I was so
