One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 58 Audrey

I couldn't stop grinning for the rest of the night, and even as we left the bar, the excitement of our win was still buzzing through my veins. We had done it. After everything-after all of the hardship, the sabotage, and the drama-we had actually won the competition! "I still can't believe it," Betty giggled, linking her arm through mine as we walked.

"Yeah, well, believe it," Avis said, throwing her arm around Betty's shoulders. "We deserved that win!"

Gavin, stretching his arms languidly, added. "And now, some much-needed rest."

Tina laughed in response. "Not tonight. The party has only just begun

I raised an eyebrow at my friend. It was nearly midnight. But before I could protest, Tina was already pulling out her phone and shoving an email confirmation for a large pizza order in my face..

"You thought you could get out of spending the night partying?" she cooed. "I already ordered pizza. We're having a sleepover."-

Gavin sputtered. "I can't stay with a bunch of girls-

"No whining, Gavin," Avis teased. "You're one of us now."

"One of us!" Betty chanted, eliciting us to join. "One of us!"

With that settled, we stumbled back to my dorm, laughing and cheering the whole way. Tina was right; as soon as we got inside, the real party began. The pizza arrived, we changed into pajamas, and before it knew it, we were even drunker off of more bottles of wine. We spent the night playing ridiculous party games, watching cheesy rom-coms, and eating our weight in junk food. It was exactly what we needed after the stress of the competition.

As the night wore on, most of the group started to doze off. I was in the communal dorm kitchen, microwaving another bag of popcorn, when I suddenly heard the sound of a throat clearing behind me. Turning, I saw Tina standing in the doorway with her hands on her hips. "Hey," I said with a grin. "I wanted more popcorn."

"I can see that." She sauntered over to the counter and hopped up onto it, swinging her legs ever so slightly as she watched me. The sound and smell of fresh popcorn filled the room, and once the microwave went off, I pulled out the steaming bag and emptied it into a bowl

"So," Tina suddenly said, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Are you going to tell me about your secret boyfriend now?"

I nearly choked on the piece of popcorn I was eating. She hadn't seen me kissing Edwin earlier right? "What secret boyfriend?"

Tina rolled her eyes. "Come on, Audrey. The mysterious male model? The one you were talking to alone in that room? Your face was all red when I found you." She wiggled her eyebrows at me. "You don't have to hide it from me. I get it if you didn't want anyone to know because of Gavin's feelings."
