Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

I was about to walk towards the backseat, but then the front passenger door opened, and I froze for a moment. I walked over to the door and peeked in, only to see Gavin seated in the driver's seat. I raised my brows as I got into the car.

"Hey," I said to him. "Where's Beta Taylor?"

"He had something to do," Gavin said, his eyes scanning me briefly as he waited for me to buckle my belt.

"Erik couldn't pick me up?" I asked. Erik was my typical driver at the mansion, so when Taylor couldn't pick me up from school, it was usually Erik.

Gavin narrowed his eyes at me.

"Do you have a problem with me picking you up?" He asked, raising his brows. I snapped a look at him.

"No, of course not. I'm just wondering why you went out of your way," I told him.

We hadn't spoken since our date last night and things were a little weird. The date was incredible, and things ended well, but I wasn't really sure where we stood anymore. Were we still being casual? Or were we more now? I wanted to ask him what he thought, but I decided to keep my mouth shut for right now.

"It wasn't out of my way," he murmured, almost defensively. "I was passing by and figured I'd pick you up on my way home."

I raised my brows.

"You were passing by?" I asked, suspiciously.

As I looked at his side profile, I noticed how tense he was. I suddenly had the urge to reach over to him and touch him, giving him some type of comfort. His knuckles were turning white as he clutched the steering wheel, and my brows furrowed when I saw his biceps tensing.
