Avery’s pov

As I watch him grab his things I could feel the bundle of excitement and nerves run through me with the thought of him and I in an enclosed space alone.

Christian came out of the back room and gave me a slight acknowledging nod which I returned with a smile. Xade had been rude to him, a bit too much. His eyes drift to Xade and then back to me.

“Are you two dating?” He questioned, sitting on the pull up bench.

I paused, completely taken aback by his sudden intrusive question that I didn’t know how to respond to. I could say no, I mean it was the only right answer to say seeing as we were actually not together.

But something in the back of my mind kind of wanted Xade to be the one to respond. He spared Christian an irritated glance. “Yes.”

My heart leaped into my throat and my knees grow weak. “Thought I told you she was taken?” A sleek rise of his eyebrow warned Christian silently to not overstep his boundaries.

But Christian being brave only lifts a shoulder into a shrug. “Thought you were referring to only training her,” he looked over at me, head tilted as he opened the cap of his bottle and bring the opening to his mouth. “You’re too pretty for him.” He winked, chuckling when Xade let out what sounded like-a-warning growl that made my stomach twist and turn.

“Let’s go.” Xade gritted, grabbing the last of his things and practically storming toward the entrance. I quickly follow after him, my tongue still heavy from his words earlier.
