Duke was telling me how to hit properly when the sound of someone clearing his throat got our attention.
Lazarus.
I wanted to ask Lazarus what he is doing in the gym. Based on his swimming trunks and a t-shirt, he came here straight from the beach, but I remembered that he is a werewolf, and he probably followed his nose here.
What's with that sour expression? Did something happen? Or is he not happy because I'm here with Duke?
I felt Duke's grip on my hips tightening and I realized that Lazarus was probably sulking because of the position Duke and I were in. Well, he can continue sulking. Duke and I are dating, and Lazarus will need to accept that or take a hike. I'm done with his childish behavior.
"Is everyone back from the beach?", I asked Lazarus in an attempt to break the awkward silence.
