Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
I dont think Ive ever spent this much time at home before, but now I am almost eager to get home.
I glanced at the clock, Judy would be finishing up her tutoring session in about an hour.
I wasnt sure why that mattered, but for whatever reason it did, and I was in a rush to get there before she left.
I said goodbye to Taylor and some of the other packhouse staff before I made my hasty retreat.
My driver, Leroy, was waiting out front for me and was ready to take me home.
The moment the car pulled up to the villa and I got the door open, her scent engulfed me.
It was stronger than usual ; its been strong since last night and Im not sure if its because we had sex, or what … but I couldnt shake the amazing aroma from my nose..
When I got inside, I saw that she was talking to Matthew by the front entrance.
Irene was walking down the steps with Walter trailing behind her.
Walter.
How had I forgotten about Walter? Judys eyes grew wide when she noticed Walter and I wondered if she had forgotten about him too.
He didnt seem to notice her strange reaction though and rushed over to her to hug her.
I had to stifle a growl, which Im not sure where it came from.
I stepped away from them to get my shit together.
He said something to her that I didnt catch, and she chuckled in response.
Ill see you guys tomorrow, she said, waving at Irene and Matt as she turned to leave.
Her eyes found mine and for a moment, we held one anothers gazes like we were the only two in the room.
Her lips parted like she wanted to say something, and a slow blooming blush crept along her nose and cheeks.
Then she closed her lips and gave me a curt nod before hastily leaving the Villa.
Dinner will be ready soon, one of the maids announced from the kitchen entrance.
Oh, g, good.
Im starving, Irene said.
She and Matt started for the kitchen, but Walter stayed behind for a moment.
I wasnt going to say anything to him because I feared Id rip his head off if did, but as I started to move past him, he grabbed my arm to stop me.
Uncle Gavin, I heard about what happened last night, he told me, making me completely freeze.
He knew I had sex with Judy? Did he hear us? Or maybe Judy told him? The best thing I could do right now is deny it.
Im not sure what youre talking about- You saved Judys life, he finished, stopping my words.
Let out a breath of relief, he was talking about how I found and saved Judy.
Not the other thing.
It was nothing.
I murmured, not wanting to discuss this with him any further.
It was everything, Uncle.
Im not sure what Id do if I lost her.
Thank you … I didnt do it for you, I snapped, baring my teeth without meaning to.
He released my arm out of instinct and took a steady step back.
No, I know that, he assured me.
Im just relieved you were there.
I really like her, and I think Im going to ask her to be my girlfriend.
Do you think shed say yes?
Gavins POV
There was a hopeful boyish quality about my nephew and the thought of poking that bubble with a needle didnt sit right with me.
But I also didnt want to get his hopes up.
It shouldnt matter to me if Judy decided to be his girlfriend.
She was her own woman, and she could do whatever she wanted.
It was clear to me that she didnt want me in that kind of way, she only wanted to keep our relationship professional, which was probably for the best.
??But the thought of her being touched by another man eft me feeling nothing but resentment and anger.
I had to brush that thought out of my head though ; it was my business.
She made her choice and now I had to make mine.
I cant answer for her, I finally settled on.
Youll have to ask her for yourself.
I turned on that note and walked into the kitchen without saying another word.
Irene and Matt were already seated at the dining table and Walter walked in moments after I did.
I sat at the head of the table and Walter took a seat beside Irene.
Im so glad you can join us for dinner, Dad.
I didnt think youd be here, Irene said with a fond smile Im surprised you arent with Ethan, I replied, putting my cloth napkin on my lap.
She shrugged and glanced at her phone which was beside her on the table.
Hes been busy today, she said softly.
After I got back from the hospital earlier, he had to catch up on, some work.
He spent the entire night with me.
He was such a gentleman.
I looked around her face and saw that the bruise was almost completely gone, and she was looking a lot better.
I was relieved to see that ; when I saw her at the hospital this morning after I left the Villa, she was exhausted and still so scared.
Spending time with Ethan must have helped her mentally recover.
He was so noble last night, Daddy.
