Chapter 0308 Nan was back in the hotel suite when I returned later in the evening .<\/p>\n
She was dressed in a pretty black dress that rested just above her knees and showed off her cleavage from the low cut collar .<\/p>\n
Her short hair was pulled out of her face , and she had a light layer of makeup on her face .<\/p>\n
Nan was the kind of girl who didnt need to wear a lot of makeup .<\/p>\n
She was more beautiful naturally , and she knew this .<\/p>\n
She was staring at herself in the mirror , a frown on her lips as she studied herself .<\/p>\n
She was examining the dress that I had never seen her wear before and the matching shoes that made her look tall and a bit uncomfortable .<\/p>\n
They were squeezing at her feet , cutting off her circulation .<\/p>\n
I frowned and furrowed my brows .<\/p>\n
New dress ? I asked , shutting the door behind me .<\/p>\n
Nan spun around to face me , her cheeks pink Oh , hi \u2026 she breathed .<\/p>\n
I didnt hear you walk in .<\/p>\n
She then glanced down at her dress and her cheeks grew even redder .<\/p>\n
Tyler got me this dress for tonight .<\/p>\n
I told him I didnt have anything to wear for a concert , so he had this sent to the room .<\/p>\n
Hes getting you clothes now ? I asked , raising my eyebrows at her .<\/p>\n
She shrugged and nibbled on her lower lip .<\/p>\n
Its not like that , she argued quickly , her walls rising around her , protecting her .<\/p>\n
Im going to return them after .<\/p>\n
When I didnt say anything , tears filled her eyes , making my heart crack and my resolve fade .<\/p>\n
Im not here to chastise you , I told her , sighing .<\/p>\n
I wanted to apologize for what I said earlier .<\/p>\n
She shook her head .<\/p>\n
No , you were right , she told me .<\/p>\n
Im being awful .<\/p>\n
I shouldnt be hanging out with Tyler like this but hes a good distraction , Judy , and I need a distraction .<\/p>\n
Im still so upset about the Chester thing and Im not really sure how to react .<\/p>\n
Im not planning on being with Tyler after we return home .<\/p>\n
But for right now \u2026 I need the distraction .<\/p>\n
I nodded and stepped towards her , wrapping her in my arms and hugging her tightly .<\/p>\n
I get it , I told her softly .<\/p>\n
Im sorry I made you feel wrong about that .<\/p>\n
You are an a decisions .<\/p>\n
You know you better than anyone .<\/p>\n
adult and can make your own She smiled through her tears as we pulled away .<\/p>\n
I wiped a stray tear off her cheek with the back of my hand and we both chuckled softly .<\/p>\n
I didnt like fighting with Nan , but when we did , we usually made up quickly .<\/p>\n
Have fun tonight , I told her , nudging her arm .<\/p>\n
Are you going to dinner with the other competitors ? Nanasked , watching as I rummaged through the closet for something to wear .<\/p>\n
Nope , I told her with a grin , turning to look at her .<\/p>\n
I have other plans .<\/p>\n
Nan threw her head back and laughed .<\/p>\n
She talked to me for while longer as I got dressed , preparing for my evening with Gavin By the time I was finished , Nan had len decency to come to the room and pick her up himself .<\/p>\n
I sco my head , reminding myself that it wasnt my place to get volved to meet up with Tyler .<\/p>\n
He didnt even have the led at the thought but then quickly brushed it out of Once I was done getting dressed , I grabbed my purse and hurried out of the room .<\/p>\n
Gavins suite was only a couple of doors down .<\/p>\n
As I approached his door , I took several deep breaths .<\/p>\n
Meeting like this was risky , anyone could walk by and see me going into his room .<\/p>\n
I knocked on the door lightly , but when there was no response , I knocked harder .<\/p>\n
There was still no response .<\/p>\n
Pressing my ear to the door , I tried to get a sign that he was even there .<\/p>\n
I heard nothing I scowled and glanced at the time ; it was just after 7.<\/p>\n
He told me to meet him in his room tonight , so I assumed he meant around dinnertime where everyone else would be busy .<\/p>\n
I probably should have confirmed the exact time with him though I sighed and rummaged through my purse ; I wasnt planning on going to dinner tonight .<\/p>\n
I was too nervous about the competition tomorrow and I just wanted to get into bed and spend a little time with Gavin .<\/p>\n
I knew I still had a copy of his room key from when I made that mistake at the front desk .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Once I found the key , I let myself into his I shut the door behind me and put the key back into my purse .<\/p>\n
I slipped the purse off my shoulder and placed it on the kitchen counter .<\/p>\n
I walked around the room , taking in the scent of Gavin that surrounded me .<\/p>\n
It was comforting , and it seemed to put both my wolf and me and ease .<\/p>\n
I found my anxieties starting to melt away .<\/p>\n
I stared at the neatly made bed , ideas surfacing in my head wanted to surprise Gavin when he arrived .<\/p>\n
I wanted to be prepared for him .<\/p>\n
