Chapter 77: A tantrum
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56If there was one thing that Henry parents never did, it was to let him down when ever he asked for money or any material thing at all since they knew that they spent little time with him at home. Both his mother and his father were always too busy making money that they totally forgot him at home, leaving Henry to learn the art of staying all by himself.
Henry was not sure of his team mates but he had a lot of faith in the determination and drive and also in the training that they had been undergoing for the past few weeks, and his parents did not really mind the details of what he had asked for, they just fulfilled them. Henry did not mention his plans of sponsoring the while trip until he had fully paid for every single member on the team, them he broke the news to the already hopeless teammates that had given up on the trip as usual.
They were overjoyed as it had been almost six years since the last time the football team had gone for any official tournament outside

“I guess I have no other choice than to do what you said,” Henry replied to Nicole as he took hold of the camera. “Anyway it is our last night together until the next two weeks, and trust me when I say I am already missing you dear. I can only imagine how it would be without you over there?” He questioned her rhetorically, looking directly into Nicole’s eyes.“I know right, I would miss you too hunnie,” ,Nicole replied to him, her fingers were caressing his soft hair and she suddenly pulled his head close to hers. Just before the softness of her lips met his own, Henry’s phone rang.It was Cassidy that had called him, she had arrived about some hours ago at the state. They had traveled earlier that morning, just like the rest of the other sports groups in the school except for the football team that are to move on their own.“hey there, I should have called since but we were busy trying to find a good hotel t
The wolf in the woods Chapter 79: her gaze
Nicole turned around slowly on the bed and then the rays of sunlight from a gap between the curtains hit her face, she immediately raised her hands and covered her face to prevent more from entering it. Turning to her side she could not find Henry there anymore, she was already used to that since Henry was mostly never there when she woke up.She slowly turned to her side and took hold of her phone, she wanted to know what the time was. Stretching out her hands over the bed and reaching towards the top of the side drawers to get her phone, she was still a lot sluggish as she had just woken up from her slumber. Just there she saw a note on the drawer for her, perhaps Henry left it there for her, which was more like a normal thing he did if he left too abruptly.Nicole listened as she could hear the chirps of some little birds, they were on the their fence as they sang all day long. In a moment she could remember flashes of memories about the previous night, her eyes clo
The wolf in the woods Chapter 80: the massive win
Henry had never been to Pennsylvania before and this was his first time, once they arrived at Penn State, they immediately went ahead to locate a hotel which had to be close by to the campus premises. It literally took them hours to find a vacant place to stay since they were mostly fully booked, just as Cassidy had told Henry earlier. The hotels they saw were either too expensive or completely booked, they decided to rent an apartment for the few weeks they would be staying at Pennsylvania which was quite close to the campus.Cassidy had already helped check in the football team the previous day on Henry’s request, the only the thing they had to do was just to attend the tournament the next day and since the football competition was the longest event in the tourney, it was always the first to start. After their dinner at a restaurant just a few blocks away from their apartment, Henry suggested that they take a few hours just before try go to bed and watch through the videos of the pl
The wolf in the woods Chapter 81: the university of colorado
Later that evening, most people had already gone back to their lodges to rest for the next day of the tournament but not the football team of the Northern university if Colorado. Although it was not a full time training, it was more like an exercise to ensure that all their minds were in the right place and that they were going to stay ready for the next match.While they were all there, Henry could have not mistook the scent of someone that close to him. The scent of cherries and strawberries, but was his mind trying to play a trick on him or something because what in the world would she be doing here, all the way from Denver, Colorado. She had specifically told him some days ago that she would not be able to tag along with them even after he had actually gotten her a ticket, Henry was quite sad after he heard her decision of staying back but he definitely understood her reason.He looked around for a while, turning his head across the entire length of the field and there was no sign
The wolf in the woods Chapter 82: The prank
Nicole had to make sure that she regulated the way she stepped out of her apartment so that Henry or any of his team members would not see her, because as the teams captain, most of the players already knew who Nicole was and would make it known to Henry if they saw her. Whenever he dialed her number she would immediately run into the bathroom to middle up the sound, to avoid him from recognizing her voice.She just made sure that every single moment she could get on camera about him was surely recorded because she knew that he would not do as she told him and even if he did it would be a few moments, so she just decided do it herself since she was here. On the other hand Henry thought that he was literally going mad, because he had been sensing Nicole's presence for the past few days and it all started the day if their first evening.Worst of all was the fact that it was even much more concentrated in their apartment than in any other place, which was due to proximity and he had no i

“this is the most pleasant surprise I have ever gotten in my life, I could have never imagined seeing you behind this door. In as much as I came there to win but I yawned that it was over as quick as possible just to see you once I returned,” Henry said to Nicole, he still stood by the door holding it open as he talked to her. “thank God you are here now, but how did you gain access into our apartment while we were not around?” he asked her.“for a lady that was able to gain access into the Marina hotel and get the attention of the owner, there is nothing I cannot do dear.” Nicole replied to him sarcastically, as she wore a mischievoussmile upon her face. “well that us obviously not the issue at this moment, the major things and the most important thing should be how to cruise through this tournament as the winner and prove everyone wrong.” Nicole uttered to Henry.“That is right though, but…”&l
The wolf in the woods Chapter 84: Not the menu she wanted
Nicole used to visit that kind of place when she was little unlike Henry that never really moved around much at home.Although Nicole had not been to any of those in so many years, the truth was that Nicole ended up disconnecting from her parents long before the accident. Not like there were not looking after her, but her parents suddenly began to spend so much time at their work places and all their normal family bonding experiences soon stopped happening.All the outings, vacations and picnics had completely stopped by the time she was twelve years old and from then she mostly had to spend time with them during weekends and if that was not enough, by the time she was about to turn sixteen they were on the run. This was just barely more than one year ago, most confusingly was the fact that who she had envisioned to be a family friend had become the sole reason they changed their location from time to time.“So how do we get there? I hope you know the place right?
The wolf in the woods Chapter 85: An amazing dinner
“please make it two more plates,” Henry added, “this was amazing, no one ever told me that the vegetarian dishes were this good. This totally beat my imaginations, but this was not the kind of meal I remember when I underwent the vegetarian therapy,” Henry uttered, both of them were surprised and happy at the same time that they had decided to stay back and order a meal.“I know right, I think I might just find out if I could just get thatsauce of theirs separately.” It is outstanding.” Nicole said to Henry, she was so impressed with their cooking at the restaurant. Nicole never believed she could fall in love with the veggies but it happened the instant she took a spoon of the dish, just then she was pulled in into the black hole of want.“Damn… I guess we made the greatest decision of actually following up and placing an order, how come no one talks about how good this kind of places are. It is like no one knows

Any time he brought it up, she kept saying that she was in love with him but deep down Henry could see through her and could easily tell that she was just lying.Henry was not going to keep someone with such negative energy around him, he needed to be focused through out the duration of his time in college and women issues was something that would easily impede on his success.

You know I was actually beginning to consider your words but this has probably showed me more of how you think and believe me it is not a good picture that has been painted in my head about you.” Henry uttered, he picked up his stuff and went over to another chair.Cassidy did not bother following him, although she was going to keep on trying her luck until she would eventually calm him down. She was going to keep on using his good will to her advantage, since he knew that within Henry was a great guy that found it easy to forgive.

She was a bit shocked as she tried to recollect herself, then Josephine stepped into the sitting room.“oh, there you are Nicole. I thought that you had already steeped out, since you said yesterday that you would be going to campus today.” Josephine said to her, “moreover, it is kind of weird that you slept on the ground when you have got the softest bed in the world.” Josephine said to Nicole, teasing her a bit as she approached her.“I would never sleep on the ground, I think I fell off the couch and that was exactly why I woke up.” Nicole pointed out to Josephine, “I had the weirdest dream ever, and it seemed to real and so sweet at firs
