Chapter 191
Oh , sorry , Dad .
I thought you said that session was only moved , she murmured .
I told her the session had been moved .
But when she got here , she said she wasnt feeling well and then left .
Thats all I know … Something wasnt sitting right in the pit of my stomach , but Irene had no reason to lie to me , so I nodded .
Okay , I murmured .
Thanks .
Im having dinner with Skyla tonight , so I wont be home till later.
Sure , Dad , Irene said , her eyes lighting up .
Have fun ! I walked past her and up the stairs so I could get dressed for my dinner .
Within the hour , we were ready to go .
Skyla changed into a dazzling red dress that hugged her thin body perfectly and amplified her breasts .
I knew she was doing it on purpose , but it rubbed me the wrong way .
I texted Judy again before I left and told her that I hoped she felt better and to call if she needed anything .
I didnt mind stopping by with whatever she might need … it went unanswered though which made me worry even more .
I shouldnt be worried about her like this … it wasnt in my nature .
Yet , I couldnt seem to get her out of my head , even while I was at dinner with Skyla .
Alpha Gavin , you seem distracted , Skyla said , staring at me from across the table .
She picked up her wine and took a sip .
Is everything okay ? I murmured as I took a sip of my own wine .
I just have a lot on my mind .
Im very busy lately .
I can understand that , Skyla said , batting her lashes Ive been super busy too .
Its nice to get out though and get away from it all .
Thank you for taking me to this lovely restaurant .
Its perfect and just what I needed .
Im sure you needed to get out too , being a busy Lycan and all .
I nodded .
It is nice to not be doing any work right now , I lied .
In truth , this was more work than my actual work .
But I couldnt say that to her , so I decided on a lie .
She seemed to have bought it because she smiled and relaxed in her seat .
Im so glad to hear you say that , she said softly , reaching over the table and touching my arm gently .
Because Im hoping we can spend more time together .
I pulled my arm away subtly and leaned back in my seat , taking another sip of wine .
Its not often that I have this free time , I told her .
Im not sure it would be possible .
Im busy too , she confessed .
But Ill make time for you .
Im really enjoying myself and I think you are enjoying yourself too .
We could have a little fun and get to know each other even better .
Two busy souls , finding comfort in one another .
Before I could reply , the waiter returned with our meals .
We didnt finish the conversation ; we ate in silence .
I hoped she had forgotten about the conversation , but as we left the restaurant , she reached over and grabbed a hold of my hand .
I dont want the evening to end , she said in a hushed tone as she stepped closer to me , her breasts .
pressing against my arm .
How about we take a walk under the stars and talk about life ? Its been a long time since Ive been on a date and- I stepped away from her , forcing her arms to drop to her sides and off my body .
This wasnt a date , Skyla , I told her , a little more harshly than I anticipated .
Im sorry if you got the wrong idea but Of course not , but I was hoping that maybe this could have turned into one , Skyla said quickly .
Im not stupid , Gavin .
I knew this wasnt a date when we started , but I also know that theres a connection between us .
This was merely a casual outing at best , 1 told her , my frown deepening She opened her mouth to reply , but a flash of light stopped her .
She turned to see a couple of men with cameras pointed at her .
Skyla Sinclaire ? Are you on a date with Gavin Landry ? Skyla who are you wearing ? Your dress is lovely ! Skyla whats your relationship with Alpha Landry ? Are you a couple ? Or are you just friends ? Skyla was momentarily stunned , as was 1.
I thought she would have told them that this was nothing more than a casual outing as we had just discussed , so was shocked when she stepped closer to me , wrapping her arms around my neck .
She smiled at the camera , winked , and then she kissed me !
