Chapter 42
OLIVIA'S POV
I had become so accustomed to always being with Mark… as strange as that sounded. I mentioned my plans to attend Dante's tournament. Mark's eyes lit up with enthusiasm, and he asked if he could take me. I hesitated, unsure if it was a good idea.
"I don't know, Mark," I said, trying to gauge his reaction. "Dante might not be too happy about us showing up together."
Mark shrugged, his expression nonchalant. "So what if he's not happy? We're not doing anything wrong. And I'm a big fan of the tournament, I'd love to go."
I studied his face, trying to determine if he was genuinely interested in the tournament or just trying to spend time with me. Either way, I appreciated his enthusiasm.

OLIVIA'S POVI don't know why I came back.I felt really sorry for the way things were between me and Dante and I really wanted to fix things. I had already messed things up real bad and I knew that nothing I could say could fix it, but it was worth trying. Wasn't it?I was just across the street, when I saw Dante's car arrive and Keisha and him got down. My steps halted in their stride. He leaned on his car, looking cool and dapper and Keisha stepped into the vee of his legs, seductively batting her lashes. I gasped.I knew what I would expect but I still stood there and watched, like a creeper. They didn't even wait to get into the dorm.Damn!

OLIVIA POVI tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep. The mattress was old and creaky, and I could feel the springs digging into my back. I glanced over at Dante, who was not moving as much as I did in his sleeping bag. He was craning his neck uncomfortably though, and I could tell he was doing his best to get comfortable.I felt that he had to have an uncomfortable night's rest because he couldn't join me on the bed. It wasn't his fault after all that we couldn't get a second room. I lay there unable to sleep.I got out of bed and walked over to where Dante was sleeping. "Dante," I whispered, shaking his shoulder. "Come lie on the other side of the bed. You'll be more comfortable."He opened his eyes, looking
