Chapter 182 Selfish again

Gideon

Seeing her leave me instead of asking me to go with her hurt me as hell, but it made me angry at the same time..

I turned around, then I knew what I was going to do. Like always when I wanted to vanish the had thoughts from my mind. I went to the bat, and 1 requested a drink. The others chatted happily at the table after dinner. I felt like they did not even notice I disappeared. Again, I felt like an outsider. sat there for a little while, watching my glass. I did not drink for a long time. When Alice was next to me, I never felt like I had to get drunk, as I just enjoyed the reality with her. I knew I would feel this one shot immediately, and knowing myself, I knew I would not be able to stop

“What is the matter, Gideon?”

Seth’s familiar voice woke me up from my daze.

I sighed.

“Nothing.”

“Yeah, I see. Do you want a tissue?”

I frowned.

“Fuck off.”

He chuckled.

“Is this about Alice and that guy?”

“Didn’t you tell me last time how intimate they were w

were while they skate together?”

“Gideon, that was then. Obviously, I told you intending to separate you from her.”

“So, wasn’t it intimate, then?” I lifted an eyebrow up.

He rolled his eyes in disbelief.

“It was intimate, but this is a sport. And you know that well. Not all couples are in love with each other. Many of them are just pretend that to entertain us and the judges.”

I looked at him with a frown.

“Please don’t say that next time we have to watch you daintily spin on the

le ice.”

He looked at me for a second, obviously trying to proceed in his brain what I just told him, then he punched me in the

Gideon!”

arm.

As soon as he finished swearing, we both burst out laughing.

When we calmed down, he sighed.

“Once Ava watched a show with ice dancers and she ordered me to sit down and watch it with her.” He rolled his eyes again with a smile. “So, I watched the couple ice dance. I just wanted to start a conversation with my little daughter, so I said; they are a nice couple, but my little one nearly yelled my head off. “Daddy, they aren’t a couple, they are brother and sister t was like, what? I just couldn’t believe that a brother and a sister can skate like that. They gave you the feeling of watching a couple. Once they finished dancing, you could clearly see that their relationship was far from romantic

I just lonked back at my glass.

“Gid, they know each other from their childhood. They used to skate together. Now the only connection between them is the ice. Alice said this was th last time the was competing. There will be a gala, and that’s it. She is done with it. Probably to make this decision was hard for her. Her whole lihe

change from now on. Don’t be selfish. Let her enjoy herself, then you will have plenty of time to be together.”

“How do you know she is really going to stop?”

He smiled.

“Well, first, she scheduled the times to train Ava. I asked her about the prices, as she would be her trainer officially, but she refused to receive any money for that. She said there is no way she would accept money from me. She only told me to Beth how much she wants, as she will work with her in the future. So she didn’t just plan this in her head, she really made steps to make a place for herself as a coach.”

I frowned.

“She didn’t tell me that.”

“I think she was going to tell you about this. But you were grumpy, and I am guessing she knew the reason for that, so probably this was the reason she didn’t tell you about her new job yet.”

I looked away again. I knew he was right, like the fact I could be really selfish sometimes.

“Gideon, she told all of us how much she wanted this, and watching Awa, I got to know how much effort they put into it. Alice told her this was her biggest dream since she was little. Why do you want to main that? Why is yourself more important again than her?”

“No, you are wrong.”

I shook my head, but again, deep inside, I knew he was right.

“I think you shouldn’t be jealous either, but I told you that already.”

He sighed again.

“Alice loves you.”

I looked at him, then I sighed.

“Maybe you are right. But it’s so damn hard.” I looked back at my

glass.

“Maybe it is, but think about her. Just look at her how happy she is. You should be thrilled to see her happy. You should share these moments with her. What is better for you? Isn’t that better to remember this as a good memory?”

“I lowered my gaze while I nodded. I looked back at my glass, and I pushed it away. After a deep sigh, I stood up. Seth watched me with a frown

“What happened, Gideon? I thought you came for a drink.”

“Fuck that! I have to get up early. If they really

y want t

to train and perform together, they need to endure my presence as well. And if that guy will touch her the way he shouldn’t or let her fall, I’ll beat the shit out of him.”

He chuckled

“Just leave it after the performance, Gid, as if you break any part of him, then Alice would never forgive you for mining her plans.”

I smiled

“I will try.“.

He laughed, then he patted my back.

“Good night Gid.”

“Good night. Kiss mum for me.”

“I will-

After walking out of the restaurant, i went back to our hotel room. I opened the door quietly. I thought she was sleeping, and I did not want to wake

her up. She was sleeping soundly, covered with the quilt completely. For a moment, I remembered the first time we slept in one bed. After watching her for a little while, I tiptoed into the bathroom, and after undressing, I went to bed next to her, avoiding waking her up. I closed my eyes, and I fell asleep

soon

I was dreaming. I saw Alice. She just finished performing, and she stepped off of the ice. After putting the protectors on her skates, she walked to me. She hugged and kissed me.

“I won.” She said,

“Yes, you are amazing” 1 told her, when we both looked in a direction. There was a concert on the ice, but all I could hear were the drums. The drummer had hit it so hard, everyone held their ears for the ear splitting banging

I slowly opened my eyes to realise that the banging was real When I got back to my senses, 1 sat up. I looked at the empty side of the bed. It has happened a few times already, as Alice always left earlier, so it did not surprise me. I usually followed her later to be with her on her trainings.

I left the bed.

“I’m coming!” I shouted, but the banging continued.

“Damn, the whole hotel will wake up.” I murmured.

As soon as I reached the door, I was ready to shout at the person, but when I opened it I was shocked. Three Asian men stood there, and before I could say something, or do something. I felt the sharp pain of punching in my face, and another sharp pain of hitting my head, then I felt and saw nothing but darkness and quiet.
