Page 22 of Navigating His Heart
Kynlee laughed, “I like him. Keep him around will you?”
Avery nodded, and Kynlee looked down at Bo again, “So, Aynsley tells me you have a few pilot friends.”
Bo smiled at Avery in the mirror and then turned to Kynlee, “You heard correctly. I’m friends with a lot of them, but my two best friends are West and Hudson.”
“West huh? What’s his last name?”
“West Hunter. He is a good pilot and a good man. He lives here in town.”
Kynlee stood up straight, “He does?”
Bo nodded, “He does. He isn’t home as much since he is a pilot, it comes with the territory I’m afraid. But, he lives with his mom and little brother Cord, on Maple Street.”
“Cord? Didn’t we go to school with a Cord?”
Avery looked over at Kynlee, “I think he was two years behind us.”
“Right. He was a nice guy. Cute.”
Bo laughed, “Cord would get a kick out of that. Girls throw themselves at him. Drives him nuts. Same with West. He hates it. He is kind to everyone, sure, but he still isn’t a fan of a lot of people.”
Kynlee nodded, “Can I see a picture?”
Avery shook her head, “You have to find him all on your own girl.”
Kynlee pouted, “But? That’s not fair. Yours started out with a picture. I want that for me too.”
Avery shook her head, putting her hands on her hips, “I promise we will do our best to find him. Go to some restaurants near there or something.”
Bo looked at her, “Not without me you won’t.”
Avery rolled her eyes, “You can’t tell me what I can or can’t do. We aren’t dating.”
Bo reached out, shocking her as he pulled her close to him, “We are now baby.”
Avery melted against him, “But,” he shook his head, “Baby, I know this is fast. It’s fast for me too. And yet, it feels so right.”
She looked over at Kynlee, “If we take Bo, he can help us know who West is.”
Kynlee nodded, “Deal.”
Bo laughed, “That wasn’t so hard, was it?”
Avery shook her head, “I have to clean up. Will you wait?”
Bo leaned forward and ran his nose gently up her neck, “I will wait for you forever.”
Avery knew he wasn’t lying, and she quickly swept up his hair, turned off the straightener and her curling irons, put her stuff in the barbicide to clean it.
She put the towel in the laundry; then, she started their small washing machine.
The thing was a godsend for them, and she was grateful the building came with it.
She hurried back to Bo, and Kynlee had taken off the cape from his neck and had put it away.
She was trying to coax Bo into showing her a small part of West, but Bo shook his head, “My girl and I will take you to dinner. West and Cord go out a few times whenever West is home.”
Kynlee grinned, “Good. I’m so ready.”
