Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
We neared the pack borders, and the Silver Creserit pack guards didnt bother stopping us, recognizing Irenes signature car.
They bowed their heads at her and she gave them a polite smile as she drove past them and onto Gavins parklands.
Hes an idiot for not loving you, Irene told me after a bear of silence.
You seem like a great girl and any guy would be lucky to have you.
I didnt respond to her kind words ; I stared out the window and watched the buildings and trees pass by.
It didnt take long to reach the villa.
Irene parked the car and we boll got dut.
Thank you for the ride, Irene, I told her.
I wont keep you, though.
Im sure you have more wedding planning She nodded, looking thoughtful.
I have so much to do.
But Ethan has a meeting today, so Ive been left kind of alone, she said, giving me a sad smile.
But I know you are busy, so do your thing.
Maybe we can talk more later? I nodded, not sure what more to say.
I turned and walked into the Villa.
Good evening, Adam said as I passed him at the front entrance.
I gave him a look, which I knew wasnt very welcoming.
I thought Adam and I could be friends when I first started, but after that stunt, he pulled when he tried to get me fired, I wasnt sure if I could actually trust him or not.
We havent spoken since that incident ; Ive been making sure to keep a distance from him.
Is Matt around? I asked him.
Hes out back, practicing his sparring, he explained.
Hes nervous about his combat class next week.
He has a test.
Matt mentioned the combat class to me briefly ; apparently, they are making him pair up with someone bigger than him and hes worried hes going to make a fool out of himself.
I met up with Matt outside and together, we practiced his sparring.
I taught him a few new moves that would help him with his test next week.
Within the hour, he was performing exceptionally.
We practiced with swords mostly and he handled the weapon professionally.
Try to de sword me, I told him.
Take it from my grip.
He did exactly what I asked and before I knew what was happening, he used the new moves I taught him to loosen the sword from my grip until it clattered to the ground.
He then had me exactly where he wanted me.
He swung the sword in my direction, careful not to cut my skin, however, he overshot his judgment, and the point of the sword snagged my blouse.
The tearing sound made him freeze.
I knew she was right.
It took a few more minutes, but eventually, Irene found a blouse along with a skirt.
I frowned at the skirt and raised my eyebrows at her.inting to my pants.
My pants are fine, I told her, pointing to my Yeah, but this blouse requires this skirt, she told me.
Trust me, I know fashion.
I bout them as a pair and they deserve to be worn as a pair.
I sighed and shook my head at her.
Dont you have a singular shirt that doesnt require any other attire? I asked her.
Yes, but this would look so cute on you, she said, jetting out her bottom lip.
Humor me, Judy.
Try it on and if you hate it, you can change it into something else.
But I truly believe youll look gorgeous in this.
Im only going home, Irene.
I dont need to look gorgeous in anything, I reminded her.
She rolled her eyes and waved off my concern.
Please, she begged again.
I sighed and relented.
Okay, I finally said after a beat of silence.
She calmed her hands together and gave me the biggest smile as she handed me the blouse and skirt.
I had to admit, they were a cute combo, and I hated that I actually liked her clothing.
I hated that I liked her, but Irene made it difficult to hate her.
Ill give you some privacy to change and Ill be back in a few minutes, she told me, giving me a grateful and excited smile as she quickly hurried past me and out of the bedroom.
I sighed and stood in the middle of her room, feeling at a loss.
Ethans scent was so potent that if my eyes were closed, I would have thought he was standing in front of me Irenes bedroom reminded me of a teenage girls room ; it was clear that this had been her room since childhood.since ch She had pictures on her dresser from prom, her date cut out of them.
She wore a tiara, indicating that she was in fact that prom queen.
She had cheerleading trophies on her bookshelf and posters of various singers on her walls.
The floor was made from hardwood with a big pink rug that matched her pink bedspread and curtains.
Knowing that Ethan spent numerous nights in bere made me sick to my stomach, I swallowed the bile that rose in my throat as I stripped off my remaining shirt.
I walked over to the trash barrel and put my shirt inside ; there was no saving it at this point.
I shimmied out of my pants, picking them up off the ground and folding them neatly, placing them on her bed as I took a look at the outfit, she insisted that I wore.
