Chapter 0226

Yeah , Im having a girls night with my best friend tonight , and I wanted to get something comfortable , she said .

Maybe some new PJs ? It was a lie ; Nan had plenty of Pjs and comfy clothes to wear tonight , but she needed an excuse as to why she was back so soon .

Becky nodded , not picking up on the lie .

I think I have just the thing , she said as she walked out from behind the counter .

We got some new Pjs in yesterday , so this is good timing .noveldrama

Lucky me … Nan thought to herself .

As she went to the pajama section , Nan watched her .

Becky was so beautiful .

This was the woman that her mate chose instead of her , and it made Nans heart hurt with every beat .

Becky returned with a cute pajama set and Nan forced a smile , barely even looking at the set in her hands .

Its perfect , she said mindlessly .

Do you want to try it on ? Becky asked , raising her hands .

No , need .

Im sure theyll fit fine , Nan said , nibbling on her lower lip .

Becky chuckled and walked back towards the counter .

Well okay then , Becky replied over her shoulder .

So … Nan said as she followed her to the counter .

How was your date the other night ? Becky shrugged .

The date itself was fine .

He was such a gentleman , Becky answered .

I was hed invite me to his place … but he didnt .

He dropped me off at home and kissed my cheek .

Nans chest tightened ; his lips were on her skin ? The thought made Nan feel sick to her stomach and she had to swallow down the bile that rose in her throat .

But hes been a little absent minded lately , Becky continued .

Like theres been something on his mind .

Weve seen each other a couple of times since that date , and it was the same … its obvious he isnt telling me something .

I think there might be someone else .

Nan frowned .

Someone else ? She asked , raising her brows , Could his mate have yet another woman in his life ? Who was this guy ? She thought about asking what his name was , but then she thought maybe it would be better if she didnt know .

At least for right now .

If she knew his name , then it would make this whole thing real and she wasnt ready for that yet .

Yeah , she said with a frown as she got lost in thought .

He seems preoccupied when we hang out .

He kept staring at his phone .

And when I tried to make a move on him to distract him , he would brush me off .

He hasnt even kissed my lips yet .

Its always only the cheek Did you ask him who he was talking to ? Nan found herself asking , Becky nodded .

He said it was just a friend .

I dont know if I believed him though .

Oh … Im sorry to hear that , Nan replied .

Becky shrugged casually .

Its all part of the dating scene , Becky said with a shrug .

Its not like hes my mate or anything .

Ill survive .

So , are you going to try and make it work with him … or … ? Nan asked , pressing for more information as Becky rang in the pajama set and told her the total .

Nan dug in her purse for her wallet , her fingers trembling as she waited for s answer .

I dont think so , Becky finally replied .

I mean , maybe if we had more of a connection .

But I honestly think its just a physical thing .

At least on my end .

I wanted to jump his bones , but he could barely touch me , so I doubted he was attracted to me .

However , he asked me out again for tonight and I declined him .

Probably better if we are just friends ; know what I mean ? Nan nodded as she finally found her wallet and pulled out her credit card , handing it to Becky .

After she charged Nan for the pajamas and then put them in a bag , she handed Nan her card back and gave her a polite smile .
