Chapter 277
Judys POV Gavin was shirtless with only a pair of sweatpants on .
I stared at his incredible body , my mouth nearly watering at the sight of his glistening abs , Glistening because he was coated in sweat , indicating that hed been here for a while working out .
When my eyes gazed up at his form , I say that he had a towel wrapped around his shoulders , collecting the sweat off the back of his neck .
My eyes found his and I saw the confusion and slight glitter of rage in his eyes .
What are you doing in here ? He asked , his tone low and deadly .
I wasnt afraid of him though ; Im not sure if anything he did could make me truly fear him .
But I was conscious that he was angry , and it was my presence that made him this way .
It hurt ; I wasnt going to lie .
I … I was going to work out , I told him , staring at the ground , unable to look him in the eyes .
All the pain and loneliness I faced these last few weeks of this man came rushing through my body and I was suddenly feeling smaller than I had in a long time .
What was wrong with me ? He looked at me as if he didnt believe me ; he looked annoyed .
He stared down at the bag on the ground and pressed his lips in a thin line .
Why isnt that in a locker ? He asked .
It could get stolen Uh … I said , glancing over my shoulder at the locker room .
There are no lockers left .
He scowled as he grabbed my bag off the floor and started towards the mens locker room .
W … what are you doing ? I asked him .
Putting it in my locker , he muttered and then he was gone .
He wasnt gone for long though ; I waited outside the locker room until he returned a few minutes later .
There , now it wont get stolen , he said , narrowing his eyes at me .
You shouldnt have come here .
I just wanted to get some working out in , I told him , gesturing for the workout equipment .
He studied me for a moment longer and then he stepped back , allowing me to walk around him .
I started to weave through the people , keeping my head down as I walked past a few known gammas .
I walked up the stairs and to the second floor where the treadmills and bikes were .
I was glad to see there were quite a few treadmills available .
I chose one that overlooked some of the gym ; I figured if I could see them , they could see me and part of why I wanted to work out in the gym this morning was so I could be seen I wanted the competition to see me and know that I wasnt one to mess with .
I got on the treadmill and started off on a light jog .
I hadnt noticed the person who got on the other treadmill beside me ; at least not until I heard it beeping to life and the person beside me started at a fast sprint .
I looked over , my mouth dropping when I saw Gavin on the treadmill .
Had he followed me ? J pressed my lips together , annoyed by the intrusion .
Gavin glanced at me , his eyes dark and narrowed in a silent challenge .
I knew he wanted to compete with me , and I wasnt going down without a fight .
I sped up the treadmill , matching his speed and then I went one speed high so I was sprinting a little faster .
It had gone faster than before , so this was nothing .
He would have to try harder than that if he wanted to sike me out A smirk played on his lips as we ran side by side and then I heard his treadmill beeping again , soon , he was running even faster .
I scowled at him , not wanting him to get the best of me , so I pressed an even higher speed
