Tempting The Bad Boy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

AndyChange can sometimes be so subtle that you don't even realise that your life is shifting, making room for the new. It creeps in slowly, altering small details that you probably didn't even notice. Then there's significant change, the things you see coming and are unable to prevent, be it good or bad. The sharp twists and turns that are here to remind us that we're living, not just existing.Sam coming on as the new coach for the Bulldogs was a significant change, not only in my life but for every player on our team. He was opening the door for new possibilities by inviting the coach from the Jets, our local A-League team, to come watch us play against Windale Warriors. This presented our team with a huge opportunity; if the coach liked what he saw, then some could be asked to try out for the A-League.That wasn't in my future, though. I had no desire to play professionally after high school, but I knew that for Nate, this was everything he had been aspiring to achieve, so I was d

ClaireI was caught between a rock and a hard place. Andy had made his feelings about Gabby's crush on Nate quite clear. He was strongly against any friend of his dating his sister, not that he and Nate were that close, but as the only friend he's actually made, since transferring to Brixton, he wanted to protect that budding friendship.Then there was Gabby, who had been pestering me all week with endless questions about Nate, and I probably would have been able to answer them if I knew him better, but the reality was, he was a complete mystery to me. We'd attended the same school for years now, even shared some of the same classes, but he was quiet, kept to himself and didn't share much. The little I knew only served to drive Gabby's interest in this boy further, and when she begged me to help her, I found it hard to say no.I was directly going against Andy's wishes by inviting Gabby to watch the match; this could lead to a fight between us if he ever found out my involvement in th

GabbyInside the restaurant, we are shown to our booth and handed some menus, not that I bother looking over mine, I'll be having my usual. The waitress returns to our table with a bottle of Chardonnay and two glasses. She opens the bottle and pours us each a glass before leaving with our order..The conversation flows seamlessly between us, as if we've known each other forever. Nate tells me about how his parents are divorced, his mum lives in Sydney, and he lives with his dad in a two-bedroom house not far from my own. I feel so comfortable with him, and I don't want the date to end, so when the waitress returns to collect our empty plates, I suggest we order dessert, just to keep the date going longer.While Nate browses the menu, I look around the crowded restaurant and almost spit my wine out when I see two very familiar faces walk in the door."Don't look, but Jupiter and Sebastian just walked in," I warn Nate, who looks up from the menu but doesn't turn around. I watch as the h

ClaireI tidy my hair, pulling the loose strands back into my ponytail as Andy throws his pants back on and grabs some paper towels and kitchen spray to clean over the chair we just fucked on, wiping away any evidence. He throws the paper towel in the small garbage bin in the kitchen just as the front door opens and Gabby walks in, still wearing the same dress she had on last night but carrying her heels."Oh my goodness, what smells so amazing in here?" She asks in a sing-song, I'm so fucking happy, voice. Yep, she broke her own rules, I can tell. There's only one thing that makes Gabby this cheery."Sex," Andy answers her with a straight face, and I nudge him in the ribs, giving him a look of murder. "Just kidding, it's banana muffins, Claire baked them."The timer on my phone goes off, and Andy opens the oven door and, with a mitted hand, pulls the muffin pan from the oven and places it on the wooden chopping board. The sweet aroma fills the kitchen and wafts out into the downstair

Claire"I can't believe her." I fumed to Andy as he drove us home from school. My mind kept replaying the entire conversation with Jupiter like it was a fever dream I couldn't escape. I would have thought that Seb's brainwashing of her ended the moment she broke up with him, that she would finally see through his lies, but no."Well, she knows the truth now," Andy says calmly, trying to defuse my mood, but that just adds insult to injury."If she had just come and asked me, instead of believing her controlling boyfriend, then she would have known the truth a lot sooner." I scoff, crossing my arms around my waist to try to hold my anger in. "We used to make fun of those girls who would get a boyfriend and then just be all about him, then she became one herself.""Maybe she was scared to go against him." Andy rationalises, refusing to join me in my anger. "Look at how easily Seb and Kyle messed with Nate's drug test and got him suspended from the team. If he can do that to a friend, the
