Chapter 0293
Not bad for a girl , I heard a voice behind me .
I turned around to see Theo approaching me .
He had scratches on his own body , but for the most part , he was barely injured .
He had sweat along his bare chest and down his torso .
He had a towel wrapped around his neck , collecting sweat .
He gave me a broad and dimpled smile ; Im sure he thought he sounded cute , but he was only sounding like a sexist pip Whats that supposed to mean ? I asked , folding my arms across my chest and glaring up at him .
He shrugged , leaning against the wall in front of me .
I just mean that Im surprised .
You dont look like much , but you have some fight in you , he told me with a twinkle of humor in his eyes .
1 pressed my lips firmly together .
Afraid youre going to get beat by a girl ? I taunted .
He let out a low laugh .
Im not worried at all , he told me .noveldrama
I just hope you dont hate me after I crush you .
1 rolled my eyes ; he was seriously so full of himself .
Good luck , Theo , I murmured as I started to walk away from him .
He went to grab my arm , but I flinched away from him .
If Gavin saw him touching me , he would kill Theo before I ever got the chance to beat him .
He scowled at my sudden rejection and his lips pressed in a thin line as he narrowed his eyes .
Dont be so cocky , he said , stepping closer to me .
He was only inches away from me and I found myself holding my breath .
He walked past me , brushing his arm against mine as he did so , leaving me standing there , wdumbfounded .
I seriously needed to get out of here .
I walked away from the crowd , wanting some silence as I wandered towards the parking lot .
I wasnt sure where I was going ; I had an hour to clear my head before the next match began and my head was pounding .
I wrapped my arms around my body suddenly feeling cold .
It wasnt even cold outside , but my adrenaline was starting to come down and it was making me feel cold .
I let out a breath , closed my eyes , and attempted to calm my nerves .
I felt a hand on my upper arm , and I turned to see Gavin standing by my side .
His eyes were dark as they poured into mine .
I stared at him like he was some kind of angel coming down to help me .
He studied my face for a moment , his eyes scanning the marks that were placed on my cheek from Milly .
His nostrils faltered slightly , and he pulled me towards a car that was parked .
I didnt realize the car , but as he pulled out his keys and unlocked it , I realized it had to be agental car .
I was glad to see nobody was inside of it as he pulled open the backseat door and motioned for me to pin I looked around the abandoned parking lot , hoping that nobody would see me entering Gavins car .
When I saw that the coast was clear , I slipped inside and Gavin slid in beside me , shutting the door behind him .
My heart was pounding so heavily in my chest that I feared for a moment that he could hear it .
He reached behind me , his lips so close to mine that I thought for a moment he was going to kiss me .
When he didnt , I felt a jab of disappointment in the pit of my stomach .
He grabbed a first aid kit that I was surprised was in the backseat of his cat .
He rummaged through the kit until he found an antiseptic wipe .
Unwrapping it I tried to protest that I didnt need it , but he gave me a sharp look , silencing me .
I winced at the sting as he cleaned the scratch marks on my cheek .
He seemed so focused … so serious .
Thank you , I said softly , not sure what more to say .
His eyes met mine for a brief moment before they returned to the scratches on my cheek .
You should have protected your face , he finally murmured after what felt like an eternity of silence .
We can use our wolves in the next round , I told him .
Ill get her back for this .
Dont make careless mistakes .
I met his eyes and held eye contact for a long while .
I think Ive only made one careless mistake so far , I told him , narrowing my eyes .
His eyes darkened as a snarl escaped his lips .
The last thing I thought was , And Im about to make another one , before his lips came crashing down on mine .
