Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 85

85-Why Save Me Now?

The others let out a gasp of surprise, it was a new revelation to them. They have been calling me wrong this whole time but now that Thiago backed me up, I noticed the eyes on Corbin.

“That’s ridiculous, she is lying because I decided to not accept her,” Corbin’s raised voice and shaky tone were all in front of everyone.

“Oh Really? So every time you reject a girl they force themselves on you and lie about you. How many times do you change your mind?” Thiago was on fire, he even surprised his roommates when he got up from his seat and picked a carrot to bite mercilessly.

“I don’t see why I have to answer you,” Corbin was on the verge of losing it,” did you really tell him all those lies?” he then proceeded to call for Elaine’s attention.

I bet she was now in a tough spot. She knew Corbin wouldn’t give her anything, he had used her in the past too. But Thiago was her present and pretty much taking her around and introducing her to his peers, she had more expectations from him.

“Elaine! Answer him,” Mr. Walter was now intrigued about the whole situation too. My heart was pounding in my chest but I didn’t want to rely on Elaine’s answer too much. She had lied before; she can do the same again.

“Elaine! Look at me,” Corbin suddenly changed his tone again now that he wanted her on his side.

“No!” Thiago shook the carrot in the air and hunched down over Elaine, dropping the carrot and resting his hand on the back of her chair and the other on the table, “Listen to me, you don’t have to be afraid of anyone, love! Just tell the truth. I am here with you,” I was surprised how quickly Thiago used the same tactics. He knew Corbin would use this moment to manipulate Elaine, so he didn’t even let him have a word with her.

Elaine took a deep breath and then closed her eyes to mumble, “Corbin was having sex with me when Enya walked in on us,” her confession dropped the jaws.

The color change on my face must be too noticeable because Jessica’s mood changed. I was too happy seeing others hear the truth.

“What?” Corbin voiced and tried to get up but a gentle tap from Mr. Tripper sat him down.

“You heard the lady, I wonder who is telling the truth now,” Thiago straightened his back and smiled, “But of course, it is not my business so I will sit down and finish my steak,” he laughed sarcastically but looked too proud of himself.

“Let’s not talk about these things. It is not like the decision can be changed now,” Mr. Tripper reminded us it is not possible for my punishment to be discarded, but it actually meant a lot to me.

My name was cleared and I was expecting everybody to start gossiping from the next moment they set foot in their respective packs after dinner.

Corbin was too mad and down afterward. He didn’t really speak to anyone and neither did he finish the dinner. I bet he regretted opening his mouth or even coming here because now the eyes on him were watching him differently.

In all this, I forgot about Maynard and only remembered when I turned to him. He was eating in silence and looking a bit down.

I could be wrong but it happened after Thiago’s whole act started. Once we have finished the dinner, the elders were still talking when I held Maynard’s hand and requested to have a word with him. Leaving them all in the dining hall, I walked out with Maynard.
