Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 344

Judy’s POV

I hate sitting here like a waiting duck; it was only Tabby and me while everyone else went to search for more flags. Tabby was staring out at the ocean, watching the waves jolting the canoes we needed to take to get off this island. There were three in total for our team, just enough to get back to base.

We’ve been sitting here for a few hours; the sun beaming down on us, making our jobs incredibly hot and difficult. I felt the sun burning into my flesh and I knew I’d have sunburn by the time I left this place. I hated having such fair skin.

Sighing, I lay back on the sand, staring up at the blue skies; there were some clouds in the sky, but not enough to provide us with some shade.

“When do you think we’ll get to go back?” Tabby asks, pulling her attention from the ocean to look at me.

I opened my mouth to answer, but the ruffling on a bush turned my attention to the wooded area. I quickly sat up; my eyes narrowed as I stared off into the forest. Tabby was also standing at attention, her eyes narrowed, and her breathing halted to almost nothing.

There was somebody here and they didn’t smell like a teammate.

Neither of us spoke, we stared and listened for any signs of movement. And then it happened again; this time, I was on my feet. My heartbeat was rapid with both worry and excitement. Perhaps this wasn’t a boring job after all; maybe Sherry was right, and the other teams would try to get our flags.

Soon, multiple different competitors were emerging from the forest, their eyes narrowed and determination crossing their faces as they stared at us. One of them, the largest one, looked around for a moment, and then a smirk spread across his lips when he spotted us.

“They left two of the smallest girls on their team to watch over their flags?” He laughed, making the other’s chuckle as well. One of the guys who I had fought with before had gone completely pale at the sight of me and I provided him with a “not so innocent” smirk.

He opened his mouth to say something to the others, but then he clamped his lips shut. He ended up disappearing without any of his teammates noticing. He was smart to leave because he knew exactly what I was capable of.

The others though, not so much.

They had only seen me passing; too consumed with their own fights to notice me. I never got the chance to combat with them. Which was fine because they were about to learn today.
