Chapter 290
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 .
Nope , I told her , grinning .
I really didnt want to have to think about it right now , honestly .
I couldnt seem to stop thinking about Gavin and how he made me feel last night .
The raw emotions that were so real in my chest last night felt foreign now .
I could still feel the ghost of his touch on my body , and I shuddered at the memory .
I finally found my clothes and went into the bathroom to change .
I was nervous enough about this competition , I didnt need to start second guessing things with Gavin too .
Youre no fun ! Nan said from the other side of the bathroom door .
I chuckled as I quickly dressed and threw my hair in a ponytail .
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 .
Id tell you if anything happened between me and boy , she told me , sticking her nose in the air .
I laughed and gave her a playful shove as I walked past her Theres not much to tell , 1 admitted .
I mean … we had sex .
Thats all there is to it .
Seriously though ? He made you so upset that you fled the country without saying anything to him , she reminded me .
We were supposed to be taking a break from guys .
She was right ; I did promise her that this would be a guy free trip .
She had to get her mind off Chester , and I wanted to get my mind off Gavin .
But now it seemed I couldnt stop thinking about Gavin .
Youre right , I told her .
Im sorry .
She sighed and shook her head .
No , Im sorry , she murmured .
Im being a terrible friend .
You clearly like him and I shouldnt stand in your way .
We are only causal fuck buddies , I teased with a shrug .
At least thats what it seems like we are … You havent talked about it ? She asked with a frown .
I shook my head .
No , and Im not sure Im going to , I admitted .
Things are really sloppy right now .
I think its better if I just focus on this competition .
She nodded thoughtfully as she glanced at the time .
Do you have time for breakfast ? I have an hour .
Lets get something fast , I replied .
We ended up getting breakfast at the breakfast buffet in the dining hall .
They had a lot of great food , but my nerves were getting the best of me so I decided to only eat a little .
I grabbed some orange juice and a piece of toast while Nan piled up her plate .
Chapter 290
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 .
I was glad she met some people to occupy her time while I focused on this competition .
The small plate I had for my toast disappeared and I frowned down at where it was .
A second later , a new plate appeared in front of me .
It had a ton of food on it ; way more than I could stomach .
I looked up to see Gavin frowning at me ; my eyes grew wide .
You need to eat , he told me before he turned away with my toast .
I stared down at the food and then back at Gavin .
He was now seated at a different table , listening to something someone was saying with earnest curiosity .
My cheeks were flushed .
Had anyone noticed him doing that ? I glanced around and I didnt see anyone watching me , thankfully .
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 .
As annoyed as I was that Gavin did that , I couldnt argue with him .
I knew I had to eat properly if I wanted to get through today , that was why I was forcing toast down my throat .
I relented and picked up my fork .
Once I ate half the plate , I couldnt stomach it anymore and pushed it aside .
I glanced at the time ; I only had 20 minutes left before the competition started .
I have to go , I told Nan .
She nodded and gave me a double thumbs up .
Ill be rooting for you , she said .
Good luck today ! I nodded and hurried out of the dining hall .
The competition arena was packed with participants and audience .
Alpha Levi was in the center of the arena , talking to some other Alphas and Lycans .
One of the Gammas who were keeping watch over the event directed me to some of the other competitors .
I had never been around this many people at once before and I had to admit , my nerves were on fire .
I was glad that my ankle no longer hurt , I just hoped I didnt damage it again while I was fighting .
Oh , its you , a voice said from beside me .
I turned to see that girl I met in the gym , Tabby .
Are you competing today ? She asked .
1 nodded .
Yes , I replied .
You ? Yup , she said with a grin .
Well most likely be fighting each other at some point today .
Good luck , she said with a wink .
