Crooked Little Heart Chapter Two
That night Avery rolled her eyes as she laid in bed by herself. It was the first time since the trouble they had before Jackson's death that she was sleeping alone again and she almost hated sleeping alone. She liked to have someone or something beside her and right now she had no one beside her. The boys were old enough that they no longer came into their parents room and Stella well she was getting used to sleeping on her own though occasionally she still wound up in bed with Taylor and Avery.
Turning on her back Avery looked up at the ceiling knowing at this rate that sleep was just not going to come. Not unless she could do something to get her mind off Taylor being gone and having an empty bed. It was the last thought that made her blush because she did know something she could do but she hadn't done it in awhile. Not since things between her and Taylor had been going good. But what would one time hurt anything? It wasn't like she was cheating by using her hand.
Avery took a deep breath as she pulled her covers down and slowly slipped out of her pajama bottoms and panties. Throwing them on the bed beside her she chewed lip as her hand slowly went between her legs and she let out a moan as it finally made contact with her flesh. Flesh that was already starting to get wet.
Letting her hand began to do it's job Avery closed her eyes as she got lost in her fantasy world. One in which she was being eaten out. The person who was doing it though she couldn't see in her mind yet but he was good. He was really fucking skilled with his tongue. The way he knew the right spots to hit and the way he applied just the right amount of force as he sucked on her clit. In her mind this person had used their tongue and mouth a lot to go down on people.
As her head fell back as she got closer to the edge Avery closed her eyes tighter and continued to get lost in the fantasy of being eaten out by a mystery man. It was one thing she longed for but it was also something that Taylor refused to do for her. He had always said he hated the taste, something he had tried once with Natalie and was never going to do again.
"Fuck..." Avery groaned as she felt her orgasm hit and her toes began to curl some. "Fuck Zac..." she panted out as the face in her fantasy became clear and she had seen the man who had also been in her head the night before as well. A man who she had thought she had stopped wanting though maybe she didn't want him romantically. Maybe her mind just wanted him sexually.
After she came she moved her hand and then reached for her panties and pajama pants. Putting them back on she stood from the bed and then headed to the bathroom where she washed her hands briefly before looking at herself in the mirror, "Get your shit together Ave," she muttered hating the fact that she had now thought of Zac twice in a row.
Leaving the bathroom she got back in bed where she eventually fell into a fitful sleep. A sleep filled with dreams of Zac, where he was taunting her sexually and emotionally. Telling her he knew she wasn't over him.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Zac awoke in the guest room at his mom's house. Yesterday had made a full day since he arrived and now today would be his second full day and he had yet to start on finding Avery. He knew she had changed her cell phone because it had been three years. Who really kept the same number during three years, except for him. He had but only because a part of him had maybe hoped Avery would use it.
But she hadn't used it and for that again he didn't blame her. All the blame here was on him and that is why when he got out of the bed and left his room to head into the bathroom to shower he had made up his mind. He was going to start looking for Avery today. All he had to go on was the diner where she had worked when they were together. The one he had taken her too and maybe just maybe he could track down her father's church though he really doubted her father would give him any information if he was as strict and religious as Avery said he was.
After his shower he changed in a hurry and then went downstairs where the smell of pancakes cooking hit his nose. Following that smell into the kitchen he smiled seeing his mom standing at the stove, "I was going to eat breakfast that diner I love so well but I think I may just eat breakfast here and go there to question people."
"Question people?" Jolene asked as she raised an eyebrow when she turned to face her son.
Zac nodded as he went to sit down at the kitchen table, "I want to find Avery," he admitted knowing he hadn't told his mother this information yet.
Jolene heaved a sigh when she heard Zac's words, "Don't you think that caused enough problems the last time?" she asked him not sure if she liked him wanting to find Avery. Avery was doing well with Taylor again and then there was Stella. Stella was being raised by Taylor though most everyone knew the truth. Everyone except Zac anyway. It was something Jolene knew Avery didn't want Zac to know about but all he'd have to do is take one look at the girl now and he'd know. She resembled Zac so much that it was more of a curse than a blessing.
"It may have but I still love her," Zac said as she smiled sheepishly. "That's one of the reasons Brenda and I broke. It was because I'm still in love with Avery."
"And what was the other reason?" Jolene asked taking in the fact that Zac said he was still in love with Avery. While she had once suspected Avery still loved at him at one point she wasn't so sure anymore. The last few months when she had seen Taylor and Avery together they had seemed so happy.
Zac shook his head, "I'd rather not say," he said knowing he didn't want to tell his mom he had cheated on Brenda. "I just messed up."
Jolene sighed again when Zac avoided her question by not saying. "What if Avery doesn't want to see you?" she asked as she put a few pancakes on a plate and walked the plate over to her son. "Are you going to leave her alone?"
"Probably not," Zac told his mother being honest. "I let her slip away once by chance in California without talking to her. I'm not doing it again," he said knowing this time he'd fight tooth and nail until he got Avery to talk to him. "I just want to apologize and make things right."
Hearing her son Jolene went silent as she walked to the stove to fix her own pancakes now, "Maybe things are how they should be Zachary. She married Taylor again and they have another kid now," she said telling the partial truth.
Zac picked up a fork as he began to eat his food, "I know," he answered in between bites. "I know she has another child with Taylor and I know they are married again but when you love something you fight for it," he smiled as his mind went back to Avery's daughter calling him daddy. That could be their baby one day who called him daddy. If she took him back and left her husband for him then they could have a baby that could call him daddy. She unlike Brenda could give him what he wanted.
"I'm fighting for her mom," Zac finished knowing his case was settled. No one could change his mind now if they wanted too.
"If you say so Zac," Jolene muttered as she forced a smile. She knew there was no arguing with Zac if his mind was made up. Again she'd just have to sit back and watch the fallout of his coming back into Avery's life. She could only hope it wasn't that ugly though.

Standing at the cash register as she paid her bill for her breakfast Avery closed her purse. She had stopped by the diner on her way to run errands. She had dropped the boys off at school then she had left Stella with Jessica for today. Jessica had offered to take her to the library when she took Hans and Abigail and Avery had been relieved. It had always been hard to do errands with Stella around.
After closing her purse she turned around and was about to step away but instead she froze in her spot as she came face to face with the man who had been haunting her fantasies for the last two nights. A man she had thought was still in California.
"Z...Zac?" she stuttered out wanting to make sure she wasn't crazy though she highly doubted she was.
"In the flesh," Zac smiled as he looked at her. He was glad to see that his looking for her today wouldn't have to go too far. He had found her on the first try by pure luck it seemed. If he had been here any later he probably would have missed her altogether.
When Zac spoke Avery swallowed hard as she felt herself getting lightheaded. The last thing she remembered before everything went black was muttering some curse word.
Hearing Avery curse before her eyes rolled back in her head and she started to fall, Zac moved forward some catching her before she hit the floor. He knew he had always joked that he had women fainting over him but he never thought he'd see the day that someone actually did faint because of him.
Avery groaned as she eventually came to and once she did she froze again as she looked up at the person who was holding her. She had hoped she had been dreaming but of course how could she have ever been that lucky? Pulling away from him Avery shook her head, "I have to go," she said before starting to walk away from him.
When she made it outside though she came to a stop when she felt someone grab her wrist and she turned to find herself again face to face with Zac which just made her annoyed. "Are you trying to fuck up my day?" she asked him harshly as she pulled her wrist away from him.
"Not intentionally," Zac stated after she moved out of his grasp. "I just wanted to see you and talk."
"Well you've seen me and talked," Avery replied back as she rolled her eyes. "Now I have things to do and I'd like to leave so please don't grab me again."
Sighing at her actions Zac shook his head, "Ave I want to talk about things okay," he said as he reached for her wrist again. "I want to say what I should have said in California when I went after you."
Feeling him grab her wrist again Avery closed her eyes, "What is there left to say?" she asked her tone still coming out harsh. "I think you said it all the day you left me," she nodded before moving out of his grasp again. "You remember that right? You left me for Brenda and told me to just remember our good times," she spat out before walking to her car. She didn't look back at him either. She didn't want too.
Zac followed after Avery and the moment she reached her car he got behind her and put both arms on either side of her to keep her from going anywhere, "You know I'm going to get you to listen somehow," he whispered as he leaned into her, his lips coming to rest on her ear. "So runaway right now if that's what you want," he said as he let his hands fall though they soon made their way towards her waist. "I love you," he said before kissing her earlobe.
Shivering at his contact Avery felt his arms move from around her waist after he kissed her earlobe and she turned around to watch as he walked away from her. Swallowing hard she closed her eyes hating how much his arms around her and the kiss to her earlobe had affected her when they shouldn't have. He had forced himself on her. She shouldn't have liked it, not when she swore she was falling back in love with Taylor.
That night Avery rolled her eyes as she laid in bed by herself. It was the first time since the trouble they had before Jackson's death that she was sleeping alone again and she almost hated sleeping alone. She liked to have someone or something beside her and right now she had no one beside her.
