Chapter 144 Just a childhood friend I didn't kiss him, or hugged ham. I just walked inside, and I sat on my sofa. He followed me.

y arms while he watched me.

I could feel my eyes filled with tears again, which I hated, so I turned my head away and I crossed my He sighed and moved closer. Finally he went down on his knees, which surpriseda lot, then he laid his head on my lap, hugging my tights.

"I'm sorry, Alice. I just got so angry. Seth called me, and he said you and that guy were so intimate on the ice." I only took a deep breath.

"It's just. I'm jealous. I lost you once, and I'm afraid of losing you again." "Did he also tell you what he askedand what my answer was? Did he also tell you I was practising with him on the ice? Have you ever seen ice dancers perform?" I asked him quietly. I knew what Seth wanted, and I was afraid if Gideon could be led so easily when it was about me, Seth would make him leavein no time.

He straightened up and looked at me. He moved next toand he heldin his embrace. I laid my head on his shoulder.

"He askedto leave you, because your family needs you, and he blamedfor you refuse to help them. I told him, I won't do that, so he tried to threaten me, but I reminded him about I am not alone anymore, and he could be in serious trouble if he treatslike before." I sighed. "Don't you realise he wanted this exactly? He just wanted to make you angry atso you would leave me."He huggedtighter before I heard him talk.

"He would never succeed in it, Alice. I'm so sorry." He moved my head so he could kiss my forehead first, then he poured kisses on my face and he ended up kissing me. I gave up, and I kissed him back. It took only a minute for him to takeinto bed. He was gentle with me, more gentle than usual. He really lovedand he wanted to makefeel that.

I couldn't be angry with him any longer. I desperately wanted to feel him. After facing Seth, I needed him close toas much as possible. He played witha little only to increase our desire, but finally I got what I wanted. Being with him was amazing, as usual. We reached our climaxes quickly, and we calmed down in each other's arms.

It tooka while to speak, but I wanted to tell him about Lucas. Just to make him understand, he had nothing to worry about.

"Gideon, I didn't know he was coming, but he was invited to the gala. His partner's relative passed away suddenly, so knowing that I used to do ice dancing with him, Gareth askedif I could jump in to help him with training, as they didn't want to cancel their program." He didn't move, just listened to"In ice dancing, we must hold each other. Many times it looks intimate, but we also support each other. If he's not holding my waist, or sometimes my inner thigh, then he can't supportfrom falling. I have to do the sto support him as well. But this is a sport, a beautiful sport, an art, Gideon, nothing else." He sighed.

"Also, I have known him since we were kids. If I ever would have wanted to be with him, I could do that. But he has always been a friend of mine, and he remains a friend only. And yes, I spent twith him today after training, and it felt so nice. I wanted to tell you how happy I was today, but you argued with me, and also madethink you wouldn't come. And that madeangry." He heldcloser and Rissed my forehead.

I'm sorry I didn't trust you. I promise I'll-behave from now on." "Well, at least 1 try." He made a face that broke the ice finally We both chuckled, and I leaned closer to kiss him. I think we both felt we could continue what we started, but he moved away and smiled at me.

"I would love to be with you again, but you have to u to get up early tomorrow." Chapter 144 Jait a childhood friend I smiled back at him.

*True." He caressed my face, and after I made myself comfortable in his arms, I fell asleep.

When my phone vibrated, I made it quiet quickly, let Gideon sleep more. I gently freed myself from his arms, and I went to the bathroom quietly. I got ready, and after I had a last look at his handssleeping figure, I left.

I drove to the centre. Beth wasn't too kind. She was still angry atfor accepting Gareth's offer. She said because of that; I have to work harder, as my performance was more important than my friend's. But it didn't matter how much she wanted to prove that I shouldn't do two things at the stime, I did all my jumps, spins and combinations right. And that madehappy.

Three hours later, Lucas arrived with his coach. Seeing familiar faces madethrilled. I ran to them and we all bugged each other. They asked a lot of questions. They were happy to see me, Finally, Gareth stopped them and reminded them nicely of we had to focus on skating if we wanted to be successful the next day. So we started to work hard. We had a few mistakes but today we didn't fall, and that was a good sign. At the end of the training, finally, we could do the entire program without mistake. We only realised our twas up when the kids arrived. After looking around, I saw little Ava to get ready too. "Alice, would you join us?" Lucas asked me, but I looked at him with regret.

"No, I promised someone I would help with a jump." "Who?" He frowned.

I pointed at Ava "See that little girl?" He nodded.

"She is the little niece of Gideon. I'm guessing she started skating because of me. After we divorced, I disappeared for a little while, and it offended ber." I smiled while I lowered my head for a moment. "I think yesterday we reconciled, and I promised her 1 would help her today. It won't be long." He frowned.

"Actually, I am tired of seeing their faces all the time." He made a face, but I knew he was joking. "I can stay as well, if you wantto." "Would you wait for me?" I asked him in surprise.

"Yes. I'll sit down, and I'll watch you train her.” He said that in a mocking tone. I put my tongue out at him, and I skated to the gate to greet Ava.

Today, only Leah accompanied her, which I was happy about. I greeted her too. She only said hello to me, even if I saw she felt awful because of that. I had a clue Seth asked her to avoid talking to me, like he did when I arrived in the family. I felt sorry for her too. It seemed like Seth controls her a way too much. Ava greetedwith a smile, and while we skated around, she looked at me.

"Who is him, Alice?" "A friend, but I told you about him yesterday." "Do you love him?" Her question madelaugh.

"No. I like him as my friend." still love Gideon then?" I lowered my head, because I didn't know what to tell her. I didn't know the right answer.

"Alice, don't you love him anymore? Because he said he loves you, and he is trying to find you." 20 Chapter 144 Just a childhood friend

"Did he say that?" I made a face of I disbelief, but I couldn't contrоPmy! lips that curled up into a smile. "Yes, and he promisedthat as soon as he finds you, I can meet you.” She stated that seriously.

I remembered Gideon toldabout it earlier. When this smart little one helped him to get to me.

"Alice, you didn't answer me." "I don't know how to answer, Ava." I told her.

She looked at me.

"I have to tell Gideon you are here, then. And you two can talk. Mummy always says when they argue with daddy, I don't have to worry, because even if there are things they can't agree on, they love each other, therefore they would never leave each other. If you love Gideon, then you just have to talk about the problem between you two, and compromise. Then everything can get back to normal."

She madeappalled. I couldn't believe my ears. How egulda m seven-year-old giveadvice ΕΠ. about a relationship? Her words madechuckle.

"Ava, I have to think about it. I'll tell you soon, okay?" She sighed unhappily and nodded.

"Ava, Gideon and I can be in trouble if you tell them about me.""Because of Amber?" Hearing that nmadeshiver, but I nodded.

"I don't like her, Alice," She stated, but it madelaugh.

"Neither do I. But your grandparents do, so please do not say..." "I know, I know, I understand." X RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
