Surprise flitted through his eyes, but a good kind of surprise. He smiled at her, looking at her for a moment then placed a soft kiss on her lips. "Shall we go celebrate with some hot chocolate?" he asked softly, half-joking.

She closed her eyes as he kissed her, her arms remaining around his neck. She grinned at his invitation. "What? Afraid that I'd beat you at basketball?" she asked, in her usual competitive way.

Victor chuckled at that, shaking his head slightly. His ego was going to kill him for this, but who cared. "No, I'm pretty certain you'd win," he told her with a grin. "But I was thinking of postponing the game now while we're still not sick..."

Ava grinned with a slight nod. "Okay then," she smiled, pulling away from him, but letting her hand slip into his.

He laced his fingers through hers as they walked to his car. Going round to the passenger seat, he gave a mock bow and opened it for her, grinning. "Ladies first."

She chuckled a bit, before getting into the car. "Thank you," she smiled. She felt kind of bad for getting his chair wet, but he was doing the same, so he couldn't say anything.

The smile still on his face, Victor turned on the heater as he drove. Suddenly, for no reason he could think of, he was shy around her. He looked away from the road for a second to glance at her, then went back to concentrating on driving. "Because I know your competitive ego wouldn't let you live this down, we'll have a re-match," he said with a chuckle to break the silence.

Ava crossed her arms over her chest, slightly rubbing her upper arm. Victor had turned on the heater, but her shirt was soaked wet and she was still a bit cold. She smiled up at him as he spoke. "We definetly need on of those," she said.

"You're shivering," he said softly, noticing that. "But I'll warm you up in a heartbeat," he said playfully, driving. Soon they were outside his apartment and getting out, once again he opened the door for her, this time more to be cheesy than anything.

She shrugged a bit, still rubbing her upper arm. "Just a little..." she said. Then, when he offered to warm her up, she chuckled a bit, without saying anything.
Once in front of his building, he opened the door for her. She put her hand in his and got out from the car.

Opening the door to the apartment, he led her in, then with a quick spin turned her so she was facing towards him. Placing a soft kiss on her lips, he grinned, then headed off to warm the place up. Coming back after a minute he tossed her a towel. "You can go first. Unless you want me to join you," he added cheekily.

Ava smiled as he spun her around and placed a soft kiss on her lips. She loved it when he did that, she thought he was really sweet.
She grabbed the towel, looking up at Victor. "I don't want that... But I wouldn't mind that either," she teased, a mischevious glint in her eyes.

Victor laughed. "Fair warning then," he told her with a smirk. "I might not be able to resist."

"We'll see that," she smirked challengingly, as she turned around and slowly started towards the bathroom.

He watched her leave, his eyes going down to her butt, smirking. He poured himself a shot to warm up slightly then went to dump his wet clothes in the laundry, wrapping himself up in a towel. From the bathroom the sound of running water could now be heard and his smirk grew wider - this was gonna be fun.

As she got into the bathroom, Ava threw her clothes on the floor, then hopped into the shower. She let the hot shower fall down on her body. Suddenly, she heard the bathroom door opening; it was, of course, Victor. However, she couldn't exactly see him from behind the shower curtain.

Dropping his towel to the floor, he padded quietly over to the curtain. He peeked behind the curtain - she had his back to him. Quietly getting behind her, his arm went around her waist, placing a kiss on her shoulder. "Boo."

Ava smiled as she felt his arm going around her waist. She turned her head ever so slightly, so she could see him. "You've got this way of sneaking behind people," she said. "It's really creepy."

Victor laughed. "Well, no. I generally just sneak up on you. It's fun surprising you," he told her, nuzzling her neck slightly, holding her close to him.

She chuckled a bit, pulling him closer, so the water would also fall over him.

Closing his eyes for a moment as he let the water warm him up, he then carefully turned her round. "Showers always are better with company," he told her cheekily.

Ava looked up at him with a grin. "You don't say..." she murmured, putting her hands on his strong upper arms.

He nodded, pretending to be serious. "Plus it saves water too. So we're being all awesome and eco-friendly," he said with a straight face.

She laughed lightly at that, looking up at him. "Okay, that was the most inappropriate thing you have ever said," she joked with a grin.

He raised an eyebrow. "How, exactly? If you forget the fact that I said it when I have a gorgeous female with me in the shower..." he replied, a grin playing on his lips.
