0:00 - 0:01A-ba-da-bing-ba-da-bam!
-
0:01 - 0:03Welcome to this week's
-
0:03 - 0:05Baking and Mystery, Baking
& Murderer episode. -
0:05 - 0:07Listen, we're back with another book.
-
0:07 - 0:10It is called 𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦,
and it is twisted. -
0:10 - 0:13Every single neuron, inside of my brain.
-
0:13 - 0:15And I'm about to tell you all about it.
-
0:15 - 0:17This book is𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 by
Ana Huang. -
0:17 - 0:19It's a contemporary romance.
-
0:19 - 0:21So, I thought...
-
0:21 - 0:22[Off-Screen]:
Ana Huang? -
0:22 - 0:23Yeah.
[Off-Screen]: She's Chinese? -
0:23 - 0:24I know!
-
0:24 - 0:26[Off-Screen]:Wow, okay!
Yeah. -
0:26 - 0:28There shall be no dragons in this one.
-
0:28 - 0:32There shall be no 500-year-old furry fae.
-
0:32 - 0:35The furries are not making an appearance
in today's video -
0:35 - 0:37because it's contemporary romance.
-
0:37 - 0:40However, however, this is not a
-
0:40 - 0:41normal episode.
-
0:41 - 0:42Everyone and their mother told me
-
0:42 - 0:44that this is the book to read.
-
0:44 - 0:45That this is where it's at.
-
0:45 - 0:47this is the story of a lifetime.
-
0:47 - 0:49I saw TikTok edits about this book.
-
0:49 - 0:53About Alex Volkov, the main character-
the main male lead. -
0:53 - 0:55And I went in, knowing, zero
-
0:55 - 0:58jack sh*t, I knew nothing about this story
-
0:58 - 1:00and the way that my mouth was hanging on
-
1:00 - 1:03jugular on the ground, on the floor.
-
1:03 - 1:07because of how insane this sh*t is
about to get. -
1:07 - 1:10I knew I was in for a freaking
ride, when the -
1:10 - 1:12very first words in the book are:
-
1:12 - 1:13[Clears throat]
-
1:13 - 1:16'He has a heart of ice... but for her,
-
1:16 - 1:18he'd burn the world."
-
1:20 - 1:21[Off-Screen]:
Okay... -
1:21 - 1:22A b*tch, okay?
-
1:22 - 1:23Sh*t.
-
1:23 - 1:24[Laughs]
-
1:24 - 1:25The second line reads:
-
1:25 - 1:28'Alex Volkov is the devil blessed with
-
1:28 - 1:30the face of an angel and
-
1:30 - 1:33cursed with the past he can't escape.'
-
1:33 - 1:35[Screams]
-
1:35 - 1:37Let me give you a rundown,
on what's going on. -
1:37 - 1:39Alex Volkov...
[Off-Screen]: You good? -
1:39 - 1:40[Laughs]
-
1:40 - 1:40[Clapping]
-
1:40 - 1:42[Off-Screen]:You good here?
-
1:43 - 1:44No, it's just so crazy.
-
1:45 - 1:46It's so crazy!
-
1:47 - 1:48[Off-Screen]: Wait,
what's so crazy? -
1:48 - 1:50[Off-Screen]: I'm so confused.
-
1:50 - 1:51Okay, sorry.
-
1:51 - 1:53[Off-Screen]: Did I miss... a chapter?
-
1:53 - 1:54Yeah, no, I feel like I've missed
-
1:54 - 1:5625 chapters, okay?
[Laughs] -
1:56 - 1:58cause, that's literally
how the books starts. -
1:58 - 1:59Now, let me give you a rundown.
-
1:59 - 2:03Alex Volkov is a 27-year-old,
self-made trillionaire. -
2:03 - 2:04[Background Laughter]
-
2:04 - 2:06No, that's dramatic!
[Off-Screen]: Wait, wait, wait. -
2:06 - 2:09I think he's just, like,
a multi, multi-millionaire. -
2:09 - 2:12Maybe a billionaire?
I don't know. -
2:12 - 2:1427, billionaire?
That makes sense. -
2:14 - 2:1627-year-old, millionaire.
-
2:16 - 2:18Maybe a billionaire?
-
2:18 - 2:19But, also he looks like he could
-
2:19 - 2:23be a contestant on Physical 100 and
America's Next Top Model. -
2:23 - 2:26He's hot, he's rich, he's so insanely
-
2:26 - 2:28built, that you could ski down his abs.
-
2:28 - 2:32But, he's got the brains of a
unicorn tech company founder. -
2:32 - 2:34Which either means he's really smart
-
2:34 - 2:35or really not smart.
-
2:35 - 2:37I don't know, you tell me, okay?
-
2:37 - 2:40He is the romance novel starter pack.
-
2:40 - 2:43He's also a robot, zero emotions.
-
2:43 - 2:44Nothing phases him.
[Background Laughter] -
2:44 - 2:48Someone could get murdered
in broad daylight, on the street, -
2:48 - 2:50in front of him,
and he would just walk over the dead body. -
2:50 - 2:53[Laughter Erupts]
-
2:53 - 2:55Why are you laughing?!
-
2:57 - 2:59[Off-Screen]: Are they...
talking about me? -
2:59 - 3:01[Laughter Erupts]
-
3:01 - 3:02Jail.
-
3:02 - 3:02Okay
-
3:03 - 3:06He must also must be a Marvel boy.
-
3:06 - 3:10A crystal girly, because his heart
is stone, cold. -
3:10 - 3:14There's only one in the entire world
that could begin to thaw -
3:14 - 3:19ice Daddy's, cold, cold heart and that is
Josh Chen. -
3:19 - 3:21His unexpected best friend from college.
-
3:21 - 3:24Who also happens to be the designated
fu*k boy in today's book. -
3:25 - 3:28But Alex Volkov?
He's not a f*ck boy. -
3:28 - 3:31He's hotter than a New York City
subway station, in the -
3:31 - 3:32middle of butt f*cking August.
-
3:32 - 3:36He's richer! Beyond what mere mortals
can comprehend. -
3:36 - 3:37He's a genius!
-
3:37 - 3:40Tell me why
this book told me his IQ is 160? -
3:40 - 3:43Like why is it telling me is IQ?
-
3:44 - 3:49He has an IQ of 160 and he will never
let himself or you forget it. -
3:49 - 3:52I think it was mentioned like every other
chapter. -
3:52 - 3:53But he's not a f*ck boy.
-
3:54 - 3:58In fact, Alex Volkov has very strict rules
to never let girls get... -
3:58 - 4:00too close to him.
-
4:00 - 4:01[Off-Screen]: Mhm.
-
4:01 - 4:04Because less they want to be on the
receiving end of a really bad -
4:04 - 4:05case of hypothermia.
-
4:05 - 4:06You know?
-
4:06 - 4:08He's just too cold for them.
-
4:08 - 4:11Josh Chen on the other hand,
textbook definition f*ck boy. -
4:11 - 4:13Med School student.
-
4:13 - 4:15He's smart, he knows it,
he's hot, he knows it. -
4:15 - 4:18And he wants to have as many girls in his
bedroom as possible. -
4:18 - 4:20Preferably, all at the same time.
-
4:20 - 4:24And it is the sheer fact, that he's so
open about it. That makes him... -
4:24 - 4:26not that unlikeable.
-
4:26 - 4:27Okay?
-
4:27 - 4:28Anyway, the two of them,
-
4:28 - 4:30they have been best friends,
since forever. -
4:30 - 4:33Alex even spent the past 8 Thanksgivings
with Josh Chen and his family, -
4:33 - 4:35and since Alex's family,
they're all uhm... -
4:35 - 4:36[Schhh]
-
4:36 - 4:37[Off-Screen]: Of course.
-
4:37 - 4:40Yeah, they're all dead.
You know what I mean? -
4:40 - 4:41They're all..
[Laughs] -
4:41 - 4:42[Off-Screen]: Of course.
-
4:42 - 4:45They're all murdered.
And like this book is so crazy. -
4:45 - 4:47I thought, I was picking up a
contemporary romance. -
4:47 - 4:48Which it is, you know.
-
4:48 - 4:51And I'm expecting a "Billionaire boy meets
poor girl." -
4:51 - 4:54Wild, kinky, BDSM,
smut dripping off the pages. -
4:54 - 4:56You cannot read this on public transit.
-
4:57 - 5:00And it does have that, but also why is
everybody getting murdered? -
5:00 - 5:03Like why are there so many
murders in this book? -
5:03 - 5:04I don't understand.
-
5:04 - 5:06Some of the plot lines are
absolutely unhinged. -
5:06 - 5:10I feel like this book could not pick which
type of book it wanted to be. -
5:10 - 5:12Sometimes I be reading
and I check the cover. -
5:12 - 5:14I'm like, "Wait, am I reading this?"
-
5:14 - 5:16Then, I accidentally pick up
a different book. -
5:16 - 5:20Okay, there are some insane crimes
committed against humanity. -
5:20 - 5:22Just casually in the span of like
three pages. -
5:22 - 5:25And the writing of this book
is so nonchalant. -
5:25 - 5:28Like the most insane bad sh*t
plot will be taking place. -
5:28 - 5:32And the writing style is that of somebody
writing about how they just purchased -
5:32 - 5:33lemons at the farmer's market.
-
5:34 - 5:36[Off-Screen]: Does it work?
Anyway, -
5:36 - 5:37It's going to work for some people.
-
5:37 - 5:39[Off-Screen]: Okay...
[Laughs] -
5:39 - 5:40[Off-Screen]: Okay!
-
5:40 - 5:42It's going to work really
well for some people and it's -
5:42 - 5:45going to work medium for other people.
-
5:45 - 5:47And it's going to work really not well
for a lot of people. -
5:48 - 5:49[Off-Screen]: Okay?
-
5:50 - 5:53I thought- do you want to know my opinion?
-
5:53 - 5:54Okay, ask for my opinion.
-
5:54 - 5:56[Off-Screen]: Your opinion, please.
Okay, so, -
5:58 - 6:02it's not literature, but what
smut book is literature? -
6:02 - 6:03You know what I mean?
-
6:03 - 6:04It's not literature.
-
6:04 - 6:07I was not... in the plot.
[Off-Screen]: Uh-huh. -
6:07 - 6:11At some point, I found myself reading
because of how unhinged it was. -
6:11 - 6:15Like, I was like, "I need to read more,
because it's so crazy." -
6:15 - 6:18There's no way it could get crazier.
-
6:18 - 6:20And then it kept getting crazier.
[Laughs] -
6:20 - 6:22[Off-Screen]: Okay...
Okay, -
6:22 - 6:22So,
-
6:22 - 6:24Let's get into it!
-
6:24 - 6:28Alex's family is dead.
He spends every Thanksgiving with -
6:28 - 6:29his buddy Josh.
-
6:29 - 6:32Josh's dad, Michael Chen, he's going to
become important later -
6:32 - 6:35and Ava, which is Josh's little sister.
-
6:35 - 6:39She's pertinent to the story.
She's the sunshine to Mr.Grumpy. -
6:39 - 6:43She is described in the book, as I quote:
"Free spirit, who never stops seeing the -
6:43 - 6:44beauty in the world."
-
6:44 - 6:46But, she also has a traumatic past.
-
6:46 - 6:48[Off-Screen]: Wait, so she's
the main girl? -
6:48 - 6:49Yeah.
-
6:49 - 6:51Bru- Best friend's little sister!
-
6:51 - 6:53[Off-Screen]: Of course.
Best friend's- -
6:53 - 6:56But also, Ava has a very traumatic past,
like Alex. -
6:56 - 6:59You know, a lot of childhood
trauma going on. -
6:59 - 7:00Only she can't remember a
-
7:00 - 7:01single thing about her childhood.
-
7:01 - 7:06Her memory of her past, shooting blanks.
She can't recall a singular memory. -
7:06 - 7:10What is the story behind this picture
of you as a kid? -
7:11 - 7:14You cannot pay her to remember.
She will not remember. -
7:14 - 7:15So, that being said,
-
7:15 - 7:17Let's get into Twisted Love.
-
7:17 - 7:2021-year-old Ava Chen is standing in the
pouring rain, clutching her phone. -
7:21 - 7:22Yeah, I mean, no.
-
7:22 - 7:27There's no way that every single Uber and
Lift is no longer in the area. -
7:27 - 7:30How does that even make sense?
It's nighttime, it's pouring rain -
7:30 - 7:33But sure enough, she's been standing
there, taking cover in the rain -
7:33 - 7:36clicking 'find a ride', nonstop for the
past 30 minutes. -
7:37 - 7:38Normally, Ava would think:
-
7:38 - 7:42"Okay, let's think positive thoughts
and try to see the glass half full!" -
7:42 - 7:44But she's late to her older brother,
-
7:44 - 7:45Josh's farewell party.
-
7:45 - 7:46And she still hasn't
-
7:46 - 7:47picked up his
-
7:47 - 7:48favorite freaking chocolate cake,
-
7:48 - 7:49that he eats once
-
7:49 - 7:50a year on his birthday,
-
7:50 - 7:51but now he's going
-
7:51 - 7:52to want it because he's
-
7:52 - 7:54about to move to Central America
-
7:54 - 7:55and they don't have
-
7:55 - 7:55his favorite
-
7:55 - 7:57chocolate cakes there.
-
7:57 - 7:57Which is-
-
7:57 - 8:00[Off-Screen]: What city do they live in?
Washington, D.C. -
8:00 - 8:01[Off-Screen]: Okay.
-
8:01 - 8:03Why did I want to say 'George Washington'
-
8:03 - 8:04What the f*ck?
-
8:04 - 8:08Which... okay,
he's going to Central America, but we -
8:08 - 8:11don't know which country.
So, it's like one out of 7, right? -
8:11 - 8:14It's going to keep me up at night.
Like everything is kind of vague in this -
8:14 - 8:16book.
[Off-Screen]: Okay. -
8:16 - 8:18I think there's another destination they
-
8:18 - 8:20travel to and they just don't tell you--
-
8:20 - 8:22[Off-Screen]: Okay.
much about the destination. -
8:22 - 8:26Anyway, one of the seven countries he's
going to, does not have death by -
8:26 - 8:29chocolate cake that he loves from the
local bakery. -
8:29 - 8:30So, she's got to go pick that up.
-
8:30 - 8:34And oh sh*t, the rain just keeps coming
down. It's even stronger now. -
8:34 - 8:39And then Ava finally looks up and
she realizes: "You know what, I think I've -
8:39 - 8:42seen this film before, and I didn't like
the ending." -
8:42 - 8:45The film would be a literal horror movie,
where a girl gets kidnapped from the -
8:45 - 8:46middle of the night.
-
8:46 - 8:47From a bus stop in the
-
8:47 - 8:48pouring rain and then
-
8:48 - 8:50is never to be seen again.
-
8:50 - 8:51So, she's like, "I need to be smarter.
-
8:51 - 8:53I need to use my brain cells."
-
8:53 - 8:55She picks up her phone and calls the one
person, -
8:55 - 8:57she does not want to call right now.
-
8:58 - 9:00Josh, her older brother,
the one that's moving, -
9:00 - 9:02the one that loves the chocolate cake.
-
9:02 - 9:03"What happened?"
-
9:03 - 9:07"Well, hello to you too!
Okay? Why would you think that something -
9:07 - 9:08happened?"
-
9:08 - 9:10"You don't- we don't do
greetings anymore?" -
9:10 - 9:13"You never call unless something's wrong,
so what happened?" -
9:13 - 9:15"Nothing's wrong! Why would you ever..."
-
9:15 - 9:18Josh can probably hear the pouring rain,
coming down. -
9:18 - 9:22"Okay, fine... okay, fine!
I'm a bit stranded— a little bit." -
9:22 - 9:25"But there's... there's just no
Ubers nearby, so it's not like -
9:25 - 9:29I'm stranded, per se... I'm just
waiting for a drive." -
9:29 - 9:32"Jesus, Ava, where the hell are you?"
-
9:32 - 9:35She tells him the exact location
and he gives her this very long lecture -
9:35 - 9:38about how she's an hour away from
campus, but she argues she's there -
9:38 - 9:40because she was doing a photo shoot.
-
9:40 - 9:43She's a photographer. She needs to
do these things. -
9:43 - 9:45"Photoshoots? Photographer?"
It's like kind of her job. -
9:45 - 9:47"Josh, have you heard of that?"
-
9:47 - 9:49And immediately, first chapter
of the book, -
9:49 - 9:51I'm already mouth agape.
-
9:51 - 9:55B*tch, because tell me why
Ava is on the phone with her brother, Josh -
9:55 - 9:57when she hears- this is her brother
-
9:57 - 10:01when she hears soft moaning...
coming from the other end! -
10:01 - 10:03[Off-Screen]: Bruhh, what?
-
10:03 - 10:04A woman's voice!
-
10:04 - 10:07Ava is disgusted, which, like, same girl!
-
10:07 - 10:11And I have a feeling the author does not
have a male sibling. -
10:11 - 10:12Because, like, uh, ewwww!
-
10:12 - 10:14Anyway, that's your older brother.
-
10:14 - 10:18Her eyes are wide. "Are you... are you
having s*x right now?" -
10:18 - 10:23She feels like throwing up, but
Josh says, "Technically, no." -
10:23 - 10:25What does that mean?
-
10:25 - 10:28Like, logistically speaking, you're not?
Like it's complicated? -
10:28 - 10:31But either way, they hang up,
and Josh tells her to sit tight— -
10:31 - 10:33he's going to have someone pick her up.
-
10:33 - 10:35[Off-Screen]: What do you mean
"Technically, no." -
10:35 - 10:37What the f*ck is he is doing there?
-
10:37 - 10:40Technically, other things.
[Off-Screen]: Ahh, Oh my God. -
10:40 - 10:44He's not tell her who's picking her up,
when they're picking her up. Just wait. -
10:44 - 10:47That's all he tells her, which is
freaking fantastic. -
10:47 - 10:50She waits what feels like an eternity.
-
10:50 - 10:53And it could be that the girl he was
just doing it with, is rolling up. -
10:53 - 10:56It could be a random friend, is going
to drive up. -
10:56 - 10:58Josh has a lot of friends,
Ava does not. -
10:58 - 11:01She's the type of girl that likes to
sit in the corner at parties, -
11:01 - 11:05just daydreaming about all the places
that she wants to travel in the world, -
11:05 - 11:08but she'll never get to travel
because she has a fear of flying. -
11:08 - 11:11Because she has water phobia.
It's called aquaphobia. -
11:11 - 11:13Now, while Josh-
he is the life of the party, -
11:13 - 11:16doing keg stands,
in the middle of the living room. -
11:16 - 11:20So, yeah, it could be one of his five
bajillion friends, or his girlfriends, -
11:20 - 11:24or it could be the one
person she hoped it would not be. -
11:24 - 11:30The one person, who drives a very loud,
very expensive car, an Aston Martin. -
11:30 - 11:35And right in that moment, a black Aston
Martin, starts speeding down the road. -
11:35 - 11:38Only, only mean guys drive cars like that.
-
11:38 - 11:40Well, I don't know, okay.
-
11:40 - 11:42But, Ava only knows one person that drives
-
11:42 - 11:43a car like that,
-
11:43 - 11:44and he's not very nice.
-
11:44 - 11:49This is about to be one hell of an
hour-long car ride in the pouring rain. -
11:49 - 11:53The car stops right in front of her, the
window rolls down, and there's -
11:53 - 11:55a gorgeous man sitting in the
driver's seat. -
11:55 - 11:58Yes, you guessed it,
Alex Volkov. -
11:58 - 12:03Did you know that "Volkov"
means, like, wolf in Russian, I think? -
12:03 - 12:04[Light Laughs]
-
12:04 - 12:05[Off-Screen]: Okay.
-
12:05 - 12:09"Get in."
He doesn't even look in her direction. -
12:09 - 12:12"He's so rude.
It's so hot." -
12:12 - 12:13[Off-Screen]: Shut up.
-
12:13 - 12:15No, that's not what I'm saying!
-
12:15 - 12:17[Off-Screen]: Oh, that's what she's
saying? -
12:17 - 12:19Basically, yeah.
-
12:19 - 12:20[Giggles]
-
12:20 - 12:21What do you mean 'shut up'
-
12:21 - 12:23Are you trying to be rude that it's hot?
-
12:23 - 12:27[Laughter]
-
12:27 - 12:32She awkwardly gets into the
passenger seat and the car is dead silent. -
12:32 - 12:37He doesn't believe in listening to music.
No sweet tunes in this man's ears. -
12:37 - 12:41Gross? Feelings?
Emotions? Music? -
12:41 - 12:43They're just driving in silence.
-
12:43 - 12:46Ava naturally feels uncomfortable,
so she's trying to break -
12:46 - 12:47the silence a little bit.
-
12:47 - 12:51"Uhm, thanks for picking me up.
It's really sweet of you." -
12:52 - 12:53No response.
-
12:53 - 12:55In fact, Alex doesn't even glance at her.
-
12:55 - 12:59He's got that Oppa driving stance,
one hand on the steering wheel. -
12:59 - 13:02Man spreading—can't be safe for
vehicular maneuvering, -
13:02 - 13:04but he's f*cking doing it.
-
13:04 - 13:09Ava tries— she shifts back in her
chair, so she's facing the road again. -
13:09 - 13:12And just tries to focus on getting through
the rest of this hour-long car ride. -
13:12 - 13:14It's just so crazy to her.
-
13:14 - 13:16How different Alex is from her
brother, Josh. -
13:16 - 13:19Personally to her, Alex gives
strong a*shole vibes. -
13:19 - 13:23Sure, maybe he had a reason
with all that childhood trauma -
13:23 - 13:25whatever that he went through,
I don't know. -
13:25 - 13:26Josh never told her in detail,
-
13:26 - 13:28but she knows that he doesn't a family and
-
13:28 - 13:31that's why he spends Thanksgiving
with hers, but still he doesn't -
13:31 - 13:33have to be such a dick.
-
13:33 - 13:37All Ava knows about the guy, after
8 years of him being Josh's best friend, -
13:37 - 13:40is: his parents are dead; they left
him a giant pile of money. -
13:40 - 13:43He took that pile of money and
4X it by investing. -
13:43 - 13:45Which he didn't even need,
by the way, -
13:45 - 13:47because he created a new financial
-
13:47 - 13:49modeling software in high school
that made him a -
13:49 - 13:51multi-millionaire before he turned 18.
-
13:51 - 13:54[Soft Laughter]
-
13:54 - 13:56[Off-Screen]: Sure, buddy.
Which makes sense because -
13:56 - 14:00his IQ is sitting pretty at 160.
He's basically a genius. -
14:00 - 14:01Okay?
-
14:01 - 14:04Now, at the age of 27, he is now a COO
-
14:04 - 14:06to one of the most successful real estate
-
14:06 - 14:08development companies in the country.
-
14:08 - 14:12He is, quote, according to the
book, a legend, and he knew it. -
14:12 - 14:14[Ahhhlalalag]
-
14:14 - 14:17Meanwhile, Ava—she's a mess,
but she's a cute mess— -
14:17 - 14:20she's working two jobs because
her dad, Michael Chen, -
14:20 - 14:21doesn't want to support
-
14:21 - 14:23her photography career.
Which is fine. -
14:23 - 14:26She loves what she does.
But she'll take anything, honestly. -
14:26 - 14:28Graduations? Engagement shoots?
Dog birthday parties? -
14:28 - 14:30She'll be there, she'll be
photographing. -
14:30 - 14:33Halfway through the car ride,
Ava realizes that she- -
14:33 - 14:35forgot about the damn chocolate
cake. -
14:35 - 14:36For her brother.
-
14:36 - 14:36She turns to Alex
-
14:36 - 14:38[Off-Screen]: Wait, she didn't
buy it? -
14:38 - 14:40No, she has to go
to pick it up. -
14:40 - 14:41[Off-Screen]: Oh, okay.
-
14:41 - 14:45"Uhm, okay, so look, don't kill me,
but we need to make a quick stop." -
14:45 - 14:46"We're already late."
-
14:46 - 14:49He really does not like to take his
eyes off the road. -
14:49 - 14:51Or maybe he doesn't like
-
14:51 - 14:51looking at her.
-
14:51 - 14:52I don't know. Ouch.
-
14:52 - 14:53Okay?
-
14:53 - 14:55"It's a really small detour for
Josh's cake. -
14:55 - 14:57I'll run in and out before
you can even park. -
14:57 - 14:59"It'll be so quick, please?"
-
15:00 - 15:02"Stop."
Ava stops. -
15:02 - 15:05Not only does she stop, but
she's staring at his fingers -
15:05 - 15:07just gripping the steering wheel.
-
15:07 - 15:09And it's doing things to her
system. -
15:09 - 15:11It's raining outside the car
and inside the car, -
15:11 - 15:12on her seat.
-
15:12 - 15:13He might be an as*hole, but
-
15:13 - 15:16he's gorgeous, he's beautiful,
jade green eyes, the color of— -
15:16 - 15:18you know what that color is?
-
15:18 - 15:19[Off-Screen]: No.
Money. -
15:19 - 15:22He looks like he's been chipped
from a glacier. -
15:22 - 15:25His face is so sharp,
he looks like a statue -
15:25 - 15:29from an Italian museum, just come to
life and walk right out of there. -
15:29 - 15:30Butt naked.
-
15:30 - 15:33And straight into Ava's bed-
I mean, his car. -
15:34 - 15:36What is she thinking?
Disgusting. -
15:36 - 15:38And he asks her, "If we get to the
cake shop, -
15:38 - 15:40you promise you'll stop talking?"
-
15:41 - 15:43"Yeah, if you want."
-
15:43 - 15:44"Fine."
-
15:44 - 15:47When they get to the bakery,
Ava is ready to jump out. -
15:47 - 15:48Efficiency is key here.
-
15:48 - 15:51But Alex grabs her arm before she
could even get out -
15:51 - 15:52and pushes her back into her seat.
-
15:52 - 15:56If Ava wasn't upset that he was
preventing her from leaving the car, -
15:56 - 15:58she would have made a puddle in that seat.
-
15:58 - 15:59Okay? Why is his touch so hot?
-
15:59 - 16:01[Off-Screen]: What is going on?
-
16:01 - 16:03No, that's literally—
that's what she's telling me. -
16:03 - 16:04She's telling me.
-
16:04 - 16:05She told me this.
-
16:05 - 16:06[Off-Screen]: Why?
-
16:06 - 16:07She told me this.
-
16:07 - 16:10Oh, you have no idea
what this book is about. -
16:10 - 16:12Honey, this is just smut.
-
16:12 - 16:14Baby. [Laughs]
-
16:14 - 16:17Baby, you thought...
you thought there was a plot. -
16:17 - 16:19[Off-Screen]: But, like, why?
-
16:19 - 16:22What do you mean?
[Off-Screen]: Okay, alright, anyways. -
16:22 - 16:25Just enjoy the ride.
Just sit back, put your seatbelt on. -
16:25 - 16:26[Off-Screen]: Okay.
-
16:26 - 16:27[Laughs]
-
16:27 - 16:30[Off-Screen]: Alright, a puddle,
a puddle, got it. -
16:30 - 16:32[Laughs]
-
16:32 - 16:33So good.
-
16:33 - 16:35Like why is his touch so hot?
-
16:35 - 16:37She expected it to be cold, honestly.
-
16:37 - 16:39"You can't go out like that."
-
16:39 - 16:41"What? Like what?"
-
16:41 - 16:43She looks down at her t-shirt and
jeans. -
16:43 - 16:46Well, what's left of her t-shirt...
-
16:46 - 16:49Her white t-shirt is completely
transparent, and her -
16:49 - 16:53red lace bra is not doing anything
to hide her full chest: -
16:53 - 16:54nips and all.
-
16:54 - 16:56[Off-Screen]: Ahhh.
And instead of being embarrased, -
16:56 - 16:58Ava chooses to focus on getting
-
16:58 - 16:59the cake before the shops close.
-
16:59 - 17:01"Instead of staring at
my breast, as*hole, -
17:01 - 17:02why don't you hand me your
-
17:02 - 17:04your jacket so that I can get the cake?"
-
17:04 - 17:07Once Ava realizes that she just called
-
17:07 - 17:09the Alex Volkov— an as*hole,
-
17:09 - 17:11she's quacking in her boots.
-
17:11 - 17:13But Alex on the other hand,
-
17:13 - 17:14he's smirking.
-
17:14 - 17:16This is probably the most
intense, emotional -
17:16 - 17:18response that she's ever
elicited from this man -
17:18 - 17:20in almost a decade, so...
-
17:20 - 17:21there's that.
-
17:21 - 17:22"You're not my type, Ava.
-
17:22 - 17:24Even if you weren't my best
friend's sister." -
17:25 - 17:29The way he's leaned over, so
close to her face. -
17:29 - 17:33I mean, he's practical growling.
It's so hot. -
17:33 - 17:36But also, kind of
f*cking mean. -
17:36 - 17:38I mean Ava wasn't really
interested either. -
17:38 - 17:41But he doesn't have to be so blunt
about it? -
17:41 - 17:42Right?
-
17:42 - 17:44Either way, he doesn't
let her out the car. -
17:44 - 17:45Even with his jacket on.
-
17:45 - 17:48So he runs in, grabs the cake and
before you knew it -
17:48 - 17:51they're making their way over to
Josh's going away party. -
17:51 - 17:53Which happens to be right next
to Ava's place. -
17:53 - 17:55They live right next door to
eachother -
17:55 - 17:56Her and her brother.
-
17:56 - 17:57They're house neighbors.
-
17:57 - 18:00When Alex pulls up in the driveway,
like a panther. -
18:00 - 18:02That's how he describes him, okay?
-
18:02 - 18:03That's not me.
-
18:03 - 18:04Like a panther,
-
18:04 - 18:06everything he does is mysterious
and sleek -
18:06 - 18:07and just like...
-
18:07 - 18:09[Giggles]
-
18:09 - 18:11like a panther
-
18:11 - 18:12[Off-Screen]: Ahh, okay...
-
18:12 - 18:13What do you mean?
-
18:13 - 18:16Why do you think I've been so glued
to my kindle recently? -
18:16 - 18:17I'm just kidding!
-
18:17 - 18:19I'm just kidding.
-
18:19 - 18:20Where's my nose--
-
18:20 - 18:22[Off-Screen]: Were you looking for
dignity? -
18:22 - 18:25[Laughs]
-
18:25 - 18:26Where'd you get that?
-
18:26 - 18:27[Inhales]
-
18:28 - 18:30[Off-Screen]: Ahh, okay...
-
18:31 - 18:34He's like a predator.
Always on the alert. -
18:34 - 18:35Looking for new prey.
-
18:35 - 18:37Ava turns to him,
-
18:37 - 18:40"I hope that the stick in your a*s,
punctures a vital organ." -
18:40 - 18:41[Laughs]
-
18:41 - 18:44But because she has manners,
she then says: -
18:44 - 18:45"Thanks for the ride."
-
18:45 - 18:46And leaves the car.
