My Only Exception

27. Task 10

꧁♡︎♡︎♡︎꧂

-I've enjoyed seeing my little girl. - Nicole hugged her daughter affectiously.
-Me, too, mom. I hope everything's solved. - Avery said, reffering to work.

After spending some days in Norway, they finally decided to return home. Clearly in one of the private jets.

-Bye, Nicole! - Fred said goodbye to her, excited.
-It's been a pleasure to meet you, boys. I suppose that Weasley Wizarding Wheezes and Jensen's Jokes could colaborate sometime. We'll talk about it at another time. - She winked at the twins.

The trip was a thousand times better than in a normal airplane. So there wasn't any problem at all.

When they arrived home, Ron volunteered to accompany the girl to her apartment along with Zeus.
-Blimey... Some days. - The ginger remarked, helping the girl with her luggage.

Avery analysed her apartment, which was just as she left it; all messy and some stuff on the floor because of when Reynhard came.
-Sorry for the mess. - She apologised awkwardly.

Ron saw the girl's expression with worry. He approached her, trying to understand whatever that was happening.
-Avy, you know you can count on me for anything, right? - He asked, to which she nodded.

The ginger switched his gaze down to Zeus, who showed him the list with the 20 tasks. A smile appeared on his face after reading number ten.
-You know, luggage can wait. Today you'll accompany me somewhere special.

The girl frowned but followed him anyway. She found being at the burrow odd. What were they doing there?
-Wait here, I'll be right back. - He said more cheerfully.

Molly noticed how Ron seemed more nervous while running.
-Son... everything okay? - She asked, to which he nodded.
-Mom, do you know where dad's bicycle might be? - He asked, to which the woman frowned.

-Why do you want it? It's in the storage room... with all the muggle objects. Besides, it may be a bit rusty... - She answered by watching how he left his backpack on the floor and headed to the storage room.

Avery was waiting for Ron a bit curiously. What was he doing now? When she saw the boy approaching her with a bicycle, she smiled.
-Number ten: Learn to ride a bike. - She told him, laughing.

Ron smiled, too by seeing her act happier. However, he was dying of nerves. He didn't know how to do it but... Having in account that he drove his father's car when he was just a kid... he knew it'd be easier.

He hopped on the muggle object and felt a little insecure. Hell, he hadn't thought it's be so complex.
-Well... this is riding a bike... isn't it? - He looked at the girl, who tried not to laugh.

-No... You have to get there. It doesn't count, otherwise. - She pointed a tree that was twenty metres away.

The ginger nodded while placing his feet on the pedals. But he didn't start pedalling, he just fell to the side. Simply remarkable.
-Shit. - He cursed on the ground. - I don't know how this works.

Avery helped him up and smiled at him.
-You're adorable. I love that you don't know because I'll teach you. - She took the bike. - Do you trust me?

-Always... But will you help me? - He asked hopefully, to which she nodded. - You're the best.

The ginger got on the bike again, placing one foot on the pedal and the other one one the floor.
-I'll be right behind you. I won't let you fall, alright? - She assured, laughing.

-Okay, I hope this works. - Ron said, frightened, looking ahead.
-Just pedal. - She told him. - Simple and easy, I'm right here.

-Simple and easy... Simpe and easy. - Ron recited while pedalling, the bicycle moving. - Avery, I'm... I'm doing it! - He cheered.

-Great... I'll let you go now. You'll go on your own. I have faith in you. - She let him go, leaving Ron alone.

-No, no! But I don't have faith in me! - He yelled, pedalling but not being able to stop. - How do I stop this?!

The girl widened her eyes before running towards the ginger.
-Use the breaks! Under your hands! Look out! - She warned.

But Ron couldn't stop, he couldn't find the breaks of the bicycle and ended up hitting himself against a tree.
-I hate riding a bike. - He complained after falling on the ground. - And what about not letting me fall?

The ginger closed his eyes to get revenge. He knew Avery would hate him, but he had to risk it.

-Shit, Ron?! Ron?! - The girl called worriedly, getting beside him. - Ron?! Answer me! God... They're gonna kill me... You're family's gonna kill me, Ronald Weasley! - She yelled while placing her ear over his chest to make sure he was alive.

-I love it when you worry about me. - The boy suddenly told her, smiling at her.

Avery sighed with relief while throwing herself to hug him.
-Never ride a bike ever again, okay? - She asked him.

-Never again. - He promised while pulling her closer to him, enduring the pain from the fall.

-Okay, you almost killed me because of a heart attack. - Avery began, trying to pull away from the boy, but the ginger wanted her to stay like that.

He twirled her around, getting on top of her.
-Where do you think you're going? We haven't finished yet. - He stated, to which she frowned.

-What do you have in mind, Weasley? - She asked him while pulling out leafs and dirt from his hair.

Ron rolled his eyes while approaching her even more, managing to get her nervous in the attempt.
-Get ready because I'll do number two today. - He said proudly, making Avery smile immediately.

-Number two?! I wanna see that. - She laughed. But before that, the ginger left a small kiss on her lips, leaving her completely speechless.

-Number two... Here it goes. - He pulled away from her and stood up from the ground. - I'll pick you up at your apartment in a while. See you, then... - He concluded before winking at her.
