Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 195

But just before I stepped off the yard, I heard the thud of footsteps running after us and my stomach sank.

Alexander wasn’t done with his mind games yet.

“Wait, Olivia! I need to talk to you,” he called.

I turned around because I knew that running away from him would seem childish.

He gazed at me with an expression that made me shift fro another. Alexander was staring at me with such intensity u seemed like he was trying to read my mind.

“You’re going to her uncle’s house?” he asked and nodded, and Kelly, who was slowly edging away from the group, her eyes on Alexander. She seemed weary of him.

“Yes…” I answered, having a bad feeling about what was coming next.

“I’m free for the rest of the day, so why don’t I join you,” Alexander said in a casual tone, but his eyes were calculating.

He stood next to me and gestured for us to keep walking.

I wanted to argue that he hadn’t been invited along, but I knew that the sun would go down soon, and we really didn’t have time for Alexander and me to fight right now. We needed to get going.

She nodded, wished us luck, and then went inside.

As the six of us continued along the riverbank, Kelly gestured for Ava and me to walk beside her.

“Does this new guy know about…what happened to me, Chloe and Russell?” she whispered. “I don’t know if I’m comfortable with him coming along. I think the fewer people that know about what happened to me, the safer it is for everyone.”

Aiden and Robert started bickering about who would win in a fight: Alexander or Aiden.

It was obvious that they thought we couldn’t hear them, but we all could.

Alexander leaned down and put his lips right beside my ear. When his warm breath hit my cheek, I couldn’t help the shiver that went up my spine.

“Who would you want to win in a fight?” He murmured,

It took us fifteen minutes to make it to Kelly’s uncle’s house. The closer that we got to our destination, the more spaced out the houses were

After we walked over a small wooden bridge, Kelly led us to an ancient–looking two–story house. Her uncle’s house was just as dilapidated as Kelly’s apartment complex had been. The windows were missing shutters, there was junk all over the lawn, and the dark wood the house was made of had seen better days.

An older woman who Kelly resembled walked down the pathway with the help of a cane.

“Kelly! I didn’t know you were coming by today,” she said and brought the younger girl into a tight hug.

“I was in the village with some…friends. And I wanted to stop by and say hi,” Kelly explained. “Hope that’s alright, Gran.”

“Of course, come in,” Kelly’s grandmother said and smiled at us warmly.

The inside was just as cluttered as the outside, but at least the living room had enough seats for the seven of us.
