Chapter 0290 Judys POV Are you really not going to tell me why you came home so late last night ? No way did that dinner end at 2 am , Nan said , folding her arms across her chest as she watched me rummage through my clothes , trying to find the workout outfit I planned to wear for the competition .<\/p>\n
Nope , I told her , grinning .<\/p>\n
I really didnt want to have to think about it right now , honestly .<\/p>\n
I couldnt seem to stop thinking about Gavin and how he made me feel last night .<\/p>\n
The raw emotions that were so real in my chest last night felt foreign now .<\/p>\n
I could still feel the ghost of his touch on my body , and I shuddered at the memory .<\/p>\n
I finally found my clothes and went into the bathroom to change .<\/p>\n
I was nervous enough about this competition , I didnt need to start second guessing things with Gavin too .<\/p>\n
Youre no fun ! Nan said from the other side of the bathroom door .<\/p>\n
I chuckled as I quickly dressed and threw my hair in a ponytail .<\/p>\n
After I finished with my business , I opened the bathroom door to find Nan standing in front of me with her hands folded across her chest .<\/p>\n
Id tell you if anything happened between me and boy , she told me , sticking her nose in the air .<\/p>\n
I laughed and gave her a playful shove as I walked past her Theres not much to tell , 1 admitted .<\/p>\n
I mean \u2026 we had sex .<\/p>\n
Thats all there is to it .<\/p>\n
Seriously though ? He made you so upset that you fled the country without saying anything to him , she reminded me .<\/p>\n
We were supposed to be taking a break from guys .<\/p>\n
She was right ; I did promise her that this would be a guy free trip .<\/p>\n
She had to get her mind off Chester , and I wanted to get my mind off Gavin .<\/p>\n
But now it seemed I couldnt stop thinking about Gavin .<\/p>\n
Youre right , I told her .<\/p>\n
Im sorry .<\/p>\n
She sighed and shook her head .<\/p>\n
No , Im sorry , she murmured .<\/p>\n
Im being a terrible friend .<\/p>\n
You clearly like him and I shouldnt stand in your way .<\/p>\n
We are only causal fuck buddies , I teased with a shrug .<\/p>\n
At least thats what it seems like we are \u2026 You havent talked about it ? She asked with a frown .<\/p>\n
I shook my head .<\/p>\n
No , and Im not sure Im going to , I admitted .<\/p>\n
Things are really sloppy right now .<\/p>\n
I think its better if I just focus on this competition .<\/p>\n
She nodded thoughtfully as she glanced at the time .<\/p>\n
Do you have time for breakfast ? I have an hour .<\/p>\n
Lets get something fast , I replied .<\/p>\n
We ended up getting breakfast at the breakfast buffet in the dining hall .<\/p>\n
They had a lot of great food , but my nerves were getting the best of me so I decided to only eat a little .<\/p>\n
I grabbed some orange juice and a piece of toast while Nan piled up her plate .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0290 We took a seat at an empty table while she devoured her food and talked my ear off about her day with her new friends .<\/p>\n
I was glad she met some people to occupy her time while I focused on this competition .<\/p>\n
The small plate I had for my toast disappeared and I frowned down at where it was .<\/p>\n
A second later , a new plate appeared in front of me .<\/p>\n
It had a ton of food on it ; way more than I could stomach .<\/p>\n
I looked up to see Gavin frowning at me ; my eyes grew wide .<\/p>\n
You need to eat , he told me before he turned away with my toast .<\/p>\n
I stared down at the food and then back at Gavin .<\/p>\n
He was now seated at a different table , listening to something someone was saying with earnest curiosity .<\/p>\n
My cheeks were flushed .<\/p>\n
Had anyone noticed him doing that ? I glanced around and I didnt see anyone watching me , thankfully .<\/p>\n
Nan looked as if she was about to burst out laughing as she nibbled on her own food , trying not to make eyel contact with me .<\/p>\n
As annoyed as I was that Gavin did that , I couldnt argue with him .<\/p>\n
I knew I had to eat properly if I wanted to get through today , that was why I was forcing toast down my throat .<\/p>\n
I relented and picked up my fork .<\/p>\n
Once I ate half the plate , I couldnt stomach it anymore and pushed it aside .<\/p>\n
I glanced at the time ; I only had 20 minutes left before the competition started .<\/p>\n
I have to go , I told Nan .<\/p>\n
She nodded and gave me a double thumbs up .<\/p>\n
Ill be rooting for you , she said .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Good luck today ! I nodded and hurried out of the dining hall .<\/p>\n
The competition arena was packed with participants and audience .<\/p>\n
Alpha Levi was in the center of the arena , talking to some other Alphas and Lycans .<\/p>\n
One of the Gammas who were keeping watch over the event directed me to some of the other competitors .<\/p>\n
I had never been around this many people at once before and I had to admit , my nerves were on fire .<\/p>\n
I was glad that my ankle no longer hurt , I just hoped I didnt damage it again while I was fighting .<\/p>\n
Oh , its you , a voice said from beside me .<\/p>\n
I turned to see that girl I met in the gym , Tabby .<\/p>\n
Are you competing today ? She asked .<\/p>\n
1 nodded .<\/p>\n
Yes , I replied .<\/p>\n
You ? Yup , she said with a grin .<\/p>\n
Well most likely be fighting each other at some point today .<\/p>\n
Good luck , she said with a wink .<\/p>\n
