Bound To Him

It has been a week since the last time Tristan and Ava got together. They were continuously in touch by calling and sending messages.

But Tristan wanted to see her, touch her and do a lot other things with her. Seeing her but not being able to touch her in the video calls was killing him.

When he asked Ava to meet him she declined because her parents keep on wanting to spend time with her. 

Ava's mom was keeping her busy, they were either going out to shop, to go to the spa or to check a place her mom wanted to check out.

She did not have school which gave her mom the best excuse to drag her out with her.

Tristan came home that night feeling tired. He thought to himself, tomorrow is Sunday It would be nice if I could rest and relax.

He stood at the front door thinking how it would be nice to come home if someone was there to greet him.

He felt dejected coming into his very empty house.

He was still wrapped in his thoughts so he did not see when his door suddenly opened.

He lifted his head and there she was the object of his imaginations. 

Ava was here, right at his front door.

She was standing right there and he couldn't believe it.

His little one was here.

Unable to say anything Tristan stepped forward and hugged her. 

Ava understood his emotions so she just hugged him back.

"Little one you are here," Tristan murmured smiling.

"Yes, I'm here to see you," Ava said and broke the hug.

With his hands on her waist and her hand on his chest they stared at each other for a while.

There was still disbelief on Tristan's face.

"Did you like my surprise?'' Ava asked, teasingly.

"A lot, " Tristan chuckled and kissed her forehead.

Suddenly Tristan scooped up Ava in his arms, taking her into the house.

"Tristan, what are you doing? " Ava squealed while wrapping her hands tightly around his neck.

"I'm taking you upstairs," Tristan said.

He was very excited to have Ava in his house.

Once they reached his room, he made her sit on the bed while he changed his clothes. Tristan came back wearing a shirt and linen pants.

He sat next to her and dragged her onto his lap.

He wanted to make sure they were as close to each other as possible. His hands were itching to touch her. 

Ava happily obliged with his demand, she had been wanting to hug him for a while too, plus being in his arms always made her feel safe and warm.

She leaned her head on his chest and Tristan tightened both his hands around her.

"Did you miss me?" he asked while kissing her head.

He missed her terribly. It was like nothing he had felt before.

He wondered how he was able to live his life before she came. He always thought that he was fine living alone.

He did not need anyone in his life.

Now he couldn't imagine his life without Ava.

"I missed you very much, did you miss me?" Ava asked, lifting her head.

Tristan looked into her face that was full of anticipation.

She was so beautiful, he thought, with her innocent face, twinkling eyes, and those red juicy lips. 

Not saying anything, he kissed her to show how much he missed her.

He poured everything he was feeling into that kiss.

Ava had her arms around his neck while Tristan was passionately moving his hands all over her body.

He couldn't get enough.

"Did you get my answer?" Tristan asked huskily when they both came up for air. 

Ava looked at him with watery eyes and nodded. She felt it. That kiss said it all.

She felt that he missed her more than she missed him.

"So how were you able to do this?" Tristan asked, referring to her surprise visit.

"Well, when you called me I also wanted to see you but my mom kept on wanting to go out.

So I told mom that Kelly came back and was alone in the dorm so I was going to see her.

My mom agreed since she knows that Kelly and I are the best of friends.

I thought of calling you to tell you of my plans but then I decided it would be better if I surprised you instead," Ava beamed happily.

Her explanation thrilled him.

He loved that she did everything to make it possible for her to be here.

He really liked her surprise, she may think it was a small gesture but for him, it made it more memorable.

"So, did you lie just to see me?" Tristan asked while raising his eyebrow. 

"Well it's not really a lie, it's half a lie, you see Kelly is really in the dorm but she has no trouble being alone," Ava justified herself. 

Kelly went home for a vacation but she needed to come back earlier to take her job at the café.

She had to work hard because she needed the extra money to support her studies and to have the things that other students took for granted.

She did not have the luxury of spending a lot of money like the other students that lived in the city. 

Her hometown is a small village out in the countryside and there weren't enough jobs out there for her so she had to come back when the cafe offered her a job. 

"Okay, that is good to know," Tristan was rubbing her pack.

Tristan did not bother about Kelly or anyone except Ava.

He just wanted to know if it was easy for her to lie, as long as Ava was with him nothing else mattered.

"Let's go have dinner," Tristan said looking at the clock.

Ava was feeling a little hungry so they went to have dinner in a restaurant.

They were sitting in the living room. Tristan looked at the time and thought it was time to drop Ava off so he stood up to change his clothes. 

"Let me go change my clothes, just wait here okay," Tristan said.

"Are you going out?" Ava asked. It baffled her, where was he going at this late hour?

"It's getting late and I need to drop you off," Tristan replied as he was confused by Ava's question.

"But, I am staying here for the night ", Ava replied.

"What? Are you kidding me?" Tristan yelled excitedly, he felt like he won the lottery twice that day.

"Well, I told my mom that I was staying with Kelly tonight and would be returning home tomorrow evening ", Ava said, nonchalantly.

"You never told me that," Tristan said while sitting next to her.

"I thought you understood. Did you not see my bag in your room?" Ava asked, pulling the collar of his shirt.

"No, I didn't," Tristan laughed. He was in such a hurry to spend time with her that he changed his clothes quickly and did not notice anything else around him. 

They both went to his bedroom so they could both change their clothes to sleep.

While Ava was in the bathroom Tristan checked some of his emails on his phone.

He saw her as soon as she came out, how can you not notice her?

She was wearing the cutest pink cotton pants and shirt that was a matching Hello Kitty set. 

Ava always looked cute.

The last time she was here she was wearing those matching strawberry pajamas and today it was Hello Kitty.

Tristan laughed thinking she always dressed like a child. Her nightwear was quite childish for her age. 

Tristan was leaning on the headboard while waiting for her and he signaled Ava to come to him while he put his phone away.

Ava happily jumped on the bed to sit between his legs.

She had her back to him so he could put his arms around her.

He placed his hands on her waist and his chin on her shoulder.

"Do you always wear this type of sleepwear or is it only when you're with me?", Tristan asked.

"I always wear these cute types of nightwear. I've been wearing these since I was a kid, they are very comfortable, if you may ask.

Sara advised me to wear a silk nightgown but I'm not sure I want to wear those." Ava took his hand and compared it to hers.

His hand was huge, her hands were half the size of his hands.

"I wish we could be like this every night, just the two of us together," Tristan murmured in her ear.

Ava smiled and didn't say anything. She knows that it will take some time before that could happen. She still needed to complete her studies. 

"I love you so much," Tristan blew hot air into her ear and Ava shivered. They talked more while snuggling in each other's arms.

Tristan saw that Ava was getting sleepy so they decided to lay down for the night.

He had his arms around her while she had her head nestled on his chest. 

"Good night little one," Tristan kissed her forehead.

"Good night," Ava said in a sleepy tone.

Just like always when they were talking, it seemed like they could go on forever, they never notice the time.

Ava snuggled deeper into his embrace to feel warm and to find a comfortable position before closing her eyes.

Seeing Ava purring on his chest like a cat Tristan's heart fluttered.

He could not stop himself.

He kissed her softly on her head so as not to wake her, she was so cute laying in his arms.

Having Ava in his arms brought him immense happiness.

Tristan was feeling blissful like he didn't have a care in the world.

He still couldn't believe Ava was sleeping in his arms.

Tristan and Ava were at peace, little did they know that there was another surprise waiting for them in the morning.
