Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
If Gavin truly likes you, hes not going to do anything with this girl.
Trust me, she told me gently.
Thats the problem, Nan, I whispered.; I dont know if he does truly like me, or if this is just sex.
There was silence on the other end for a moment.
Maybe you should be talking to him about it? She suggested.
You seem to have a lot of confusion, and it should be cleared up if you continue to spend time with him and live in his mansion, Nan told me.
I was about to reply, but then the door of the room opened, and Gavin stood at the entryway.
It was late in the evening and my heart started to beat fast at the sight of him.
He looked so tired.
I wasnt expecting to see him tonight and I was borderline, mortified that he was now seeing me with my face all blotchy and my eyes filled with tears.
I quickly tried to hide my face and wipe the tears away before they became obvious to him.
I Nan, Ill talk to you tomorrow, I told her quickly, my voice dropping to a whisper.
Did he just walk in? She asked curiously.
She knew me well.
Yes, I whispered hoarsely.
Good luck and remember, take a deep breath and dont jump to conclusions.
Let him explain first before you go off.
Update me on everything tomorrow I will, I assured her and then I hung up the phone.
I put the phone on the nightstand and plugged it into the charger before turning to look at him.
He still remained at the doorway, studying me with a frown.
Irene said you were unwell, he told me.
You were fine this morning ! I nodded and wiped my checks again, hoping he didnt notice how blotchy my face was and the tears that were still in my eyes.
I hated how weak I was in front of him, but I couldnt help myself.
Yeah, I was just a little under the weather, I lied.
I think I might have eaten something bad.
Was it whatever Chester made you? He asked through his teeth.
Ill fire him and- No ! I said quickly.
Dont fire him ; he didnt do anything.
It was something I ate at school.
Nothing more.
He looked almost disappointed ; I knew he kind of wanted to fire Chester because he rubbed Gavin the wrong way, but I wasnt going to let him.
I liked Chester ; he was funny, and he made being here less lonely.
Between him and Harper, I felt like I belonged around here.
At least I did until I spotted Skyla and Gavin together.
That sick feeling returned to my belly and stared down at my lap, willing my tears away before they slipped down my cheeks.
How was your date? I murmured, unable to hide the bitterness in my tone.
It wasnt a date, he said immediately.
It was a casual dinner.
Chanse thought it would be good if I took her to dinner and- his voice trailed off.
Wait, didnt say anything about it in the text.
How did you know? 1 bit my lip as my cheeks burned with embarrassment had nothing to be embarrassed about though ; I didnt ask Irene to send me a photo of Gavin and Skyla leaving.
She captioned it, My father going on his first real date in years ! Dont they look beautiful together? I felt sick to my stomach, and I have been crying ever since.
I hated the effect it had on me, but I couldnt help myself.
They did look great together ; Skyla in her shimmering red dress, pressed herself up against Gavin who was dressed in a nice suit.
He was dressed in something more casual now and I wondered if Skyla helped him take off his suit.
Irene sent me a picture, I admitted.
She wanted me to see how lovely the two of you ! were together.
I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were dark with rage.
I shuddered at the sight of him and swallowed the lump in my throat.
Ill have a conversation with her about that, he muttered.
But it wasnt a date.
I nodded, wanting to believe him.
He stepped closer to the bed.
Are you still feeling sick? He asked.
I nodded ; I was feeling sick, but not because I ate something bad.
Ill get you some tea then, he said ; before I could protest, he was already out of the room.
I sighed and leaned my head against my pillow, feeling frustrated and hurt all at the same time.
Gavin returned a little later with a mug of tea, made exactly how I liked it.
I was surprised that he remembered such details about me.
I thanked him and sipped the tea silently, with him watching me.
We didnt talk for the rest of the night ; I wasnt even expecting him to stay the night.
But he did.
He slept beside me as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
When I woke the next morning, the bed was empty, but I heard the shower on in the bathroom and I let out a breath I hadnt known I was holding.
