Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
Besides, its not like you are trying to impress the Lycan.
I chewed the inside of my cheek and internally groaned.
I couldnt tell her that Gavin was my boss and that I needed to impress him and keep him happy in order to keep my job.
I suppose, I murmured ; she could hear the uncertainty clear in my tone though and she sighed.
We dont have school today, do you have tutoring? She asked.
No, I told her.
Thankfully, its my day off.
Good ; we need a girls day ! Lets go into the city and do some shopping.
I rolled my eyes.
I dont have shopping money, Nan, I reminded her.
Then, lets window shop and get some dinner, she suggested.
I have to get a few things anyways and I could use some company.
Please … I miss you and I want to hang out You saw me yesterday, I chuckled.
Its not the same and you know it, she muttered I want to hang out not in a school setting.
Okay, I relented.
Lets hang out today.
Let me just get dressed.
Ill pick you up in an hour ! 1 The hour flew by quickly, by the time I finished getting dressed for the afternoon, Nan was already pulling into the driveway.
I grabbed my purse, shouldering it, and quickly ran out of the house to greet Nan.
She was smiling at me from the drivers seat when I slid into the passengers seat.
Hows your mom doing? She asked as she pulled away from the house and headed towards the city.
The same as she has been since my father was faken away I confessed.
I think shes majorly depressed and Im not sure what to do about it.
Isnt your father her true mate? She asked.
I nodded and bit my lip.
Yes, I answered.
I dont blame her for being upset.
I just wish there was something I could do to help her.
Im sorry you guys have to go through that, Nan said with a frown.
After a beat of silence, we decided to change the topic and talk about something lighter.
It didnt take us long to reach the city.
She already had an idea of the stores she wanted to go to.
So, what exactly are we shopping for? I asked as we exited the car and started walking through the busy streets.
My sisters birthday is next month and shes throwing this huge party in a penthouse, she explained.
I need something to wear for the event.
Plus, I need to find her a birthday present.
Something she would really like.
Nans older sister, Natalia, or as most call her, Talia, liked all things luxurious.
She was a fashion model, so it made sense.
She was pretty much an icon around the world and owned a couple of different homes, one of which happened to be a penthouse in the heart of the city.
For the most part, Nan and Talia got along fine, but I could always tell that Nan was envious of Talia because she always got what she wanted.
We should find an outfit for you as well because I need you to come with me to the party, she told me, draping an arm through mine as she walked towards a boutique.
I frowned.
I told you, I dont have shopping money, I reminded her This is really important to me, Judy, she said with a pour And my father getting out of prison is important to me, Nan, I told her firmly.
I need to prioritize and buying a trending outfit, is not a priority.
She opened her mouth to retort but closed it as soon as she saw who was walking out of the boutique.
Judy, is that you? Irene asked as she made her way towards us with a big smiling face.
Oh hell.
Judys POV
Irene, I greeted, thankful that I sounded stronger than I felt.
I wasnt expecting to see you here.
Oh, I was just getting some stuff for my upcoming wedding, she said, holding up her shopping bag.
She glanced at Nan.
And whos this? I swallowed the lump in my throat ; the last thing I wanted was for Irene to be curious about Nan and try to take her too.
I knew it wasnt fair of me to blame Ethan for leaving me on Irene because shes as much a victim as I am if not more.
But I couldnt help myself.
Whenever I look at Irene, I think about how my mate left me for her.
I grimaced at the very thought of him touching her the way that he used to touch me.
We were so in love at one point ; he was my fated mate and we were supposed to be together forever.
It was written on the star ; it was the Goddess who paired us together.
But she had made a grave mistake.
Or maybe it was Ethan who had taken the wrong turn.
My chest continued to ache even after I swore, I was over him.
Does one ever truly get over their mate though? This is my best friend, Nan, I told her, motioning for Nan who gave Irene a quizzical look.
