It's like he's just waiting for the clock to run out so he can throw in the towel!" Derek and Chantelle's faces instantly darkened. Meanwhile, Aspen and Lauren clutched each other's hands tightly, their anxiety plain to "Aspen, do you think Andrew has hit a roadblock he can't get past? Aspen's voice was firm, though her heart raced.
"I don't know, Lauren, but we have to believe in him. No matter what, I don't think he'd fall here." Despite being love rivals, the two women found themselves ---- standing on the sside, and their addressing each other had taken on a noticeably warmer, more familiar tone. Zephyr shook his head. "Regardless, making it to the sixth round is already impressive. Mr. Lloyd has earned our respect." Jameson chuckled.
"I actually think Andy looks pretty relaxed, It's almost like he's got this under control." Tiana's eyes were sparkling with amusement as she added, " Everyone, stop worrying so much. Andrew isn't the type to lose so easily. If he embarrassesby getting knocked out in the sixth round, I'll make sure to spank him when I see him."

Her own thoughts felt dirty, even to her. Was she really linking Andrew and Lauren's mother together? The mere idea of them together was absurd. Blasphemous, even. Shaking her head, she tried to push the idea away.
It was just her exhausted mind playing tricks on her, a side effect of Andrew wearing her out the night before. She convinced herself that she was overthinking it. On the other side of the platform, Quinton let out a cold laugh. "He's done for. Andrew is dead meat." Christina's voice was icy. "I've said it before-he's no match for the likes of Dr. Lake." Yara snapped, "Christina, you'd better shut your mouth!" Christina frowned, "I'm just stating the facts." Yara shot back with a sharp laugh.
"Even if it's a fact, keep it to yourself! I don't get you, Christina. You keep saying you want Andrew to cback to you, to be by your side) tal love you again. But then you get all bitter and jealous the moment he shows even a hint of success. Seriously, Christina, you're the textbook definition of a two-faced bitch!"
