Fake dating the Captain's step brother Chapter 10
Rhys pov We were still arguing when we got through the front door, the same argument we'd been having since the parking lot, low and clipped, both of us too aware of the house around us to raise our voices the way we actually wanted to."You don't get to grab me like that in front of people," I said, dropping my bag by the stairs harder than I needed to. "Whatever's going on with you, that's not how you handle it."Cole's jaw was tight, a muscle working at the hinge of it. He didn't look at me. "I said we were leaving.""You didn't say anything. You just decided.""Same thing.""It's not the same thing, and you know it isn't." I threw my hands up, half out of frustration, half because I still didn't understand what I'd walked into back there. "You've been off all day. Off with Vanessa. Off in the hallway. And now you're….."Both our phones buzzed at the same time, sharp and identical, cutting the sentence off clean.I pulled mine out first. School group chat. My stomach dropped befor

Kayla povPriya reached me before the door had even fully closed behind Cole and Rhys, breathless, her hand closing around my wrist."Did you see his face?" she said. "Cole's face. He looked like someone had knocked the wind out of him."I had seen it. I'd been standing close enough to catch the exact moment his jaw locked, the way his shoulders had gone rigid before he crossed the hallway and pulled Rhys away without a word. My chest was still doing something strange and hopeful about it, something I didn't fully trust."Maybe he remembers me," I said, quietly, testing the words before I let myself believe them. "Maybe that's what this was."Priya's face didn't share my hope. She tilted her head, studying me the way she did when she was about to say something I didn't want to hear."Or," she said, gentler than usual, "his brother just got a date to the biggest event of the year, and Cole hates losing. Any version of losing. Even ones he doesn't actually want."I opened my mouth to a

Cole povI sat at my desk long after the room had emptied out, the image still looping behind my eyes no matter how many times I told it to stop. Kayla, pulling that helmet over her head. Kayla, climbing onto the back of Rhys's bike like it was the easiest thing in the world. Her arms around his waist.I dragged a hand down my face and stared at the blank page in front of me, willing myself to focus on anything else. It didn't work."You're doing the brooding thing again."I didn't have to look up to know who it was. Vanessa's voice carried its own particular weight, always half-amused, always expecting an audience. She dropped onto the edge of my desk without asking, one leg swinging idly."I'm working.""You're staring at a blank page like it insulted your mother." She held her phone out toward me, screen already lit. "Anyway. You should see this before you hear it from someone else."I glanced at it against my better judgment. The event pairing list, my father's handwriting practic

Rhys povThe second we walked through the doors, three sales associates converged on us like they'd been waiting behind the racks for exactly this moment."Mr. Sterling." The one in front, tall, polished, already reaching for Kayla's jacket like it was the most natural thing in the world. "Welcome back. What can we get started for you today?""She needs something for a formal event," I said, nodding toward Kayla. "Saturday night. Something that actually gets noticed."Kayla stood a step behind me, arms crossed loosely over her chest, eyes moving over the racks with the kind of stillness that told me she was doing math in her head, calculating exits, calculating cost, calculating whether this was a mistake she could still walk back from.I knew that look. I'd seen it on plenty of people who weren't used to walking into rooms like this one."Relax," I said, low enough that it was just for her. "Nobody's going to bite.""I'm relaxed.""You're doing the arms thing.""I don't have an arms

Kayla povThe hallway was already loud by the time we reached my locker, Priya talking fast enough that I only caught half of it, something about her and her boyfriend's six month anniversary, a reservation she'd been trying to get for weeks, whether she should wear the red dress or the green one."Red," I said, spinning my combination without really looking at it. "Obviously red.""That's what I said, but he likes me in green, and I feel like that means something, right? Like maybe I should wear the color he likes instead of the color I—"She stopped talking mid-sentence. I felt her hand close around my wrist before I understood why."Kayla." Her voice had dropped to a whisper, sharp with warning. "Twelve o'clock."I didn't have to ask. I already knew, some instinct in my chest answering before my eyes even found him, that low hum under my ribs that only ever showed up for one person in this entire school.Cole.He was walking down the hallway toward us, textbook tucked under one arm

Cole povMy shirt was stuck to my back by the time I got through the front door, the kind of tiredness that lived in my shoulders more than my legs. The coach had run us twice as long as usual, said something about the season opener making us look like we'd never seen ice before. Nobody argued. Nobody ever did.I dropped my bag by the stairs and headed for the kitchen, already thinking about food, water, a shower, in that order, when I passed the living room and saw Rhys sprawled across the couch, phone in his hand, that stupid half smile on his face he only wore when he thought nobody was watching.I almost kept walking. Almost.Then the screen lit up again, another message, and something in me stopped moving before I'd decided to stop.I told myself I didn't care who he was talking to. I told myself that the whole way across the room, and I was still telling myself that when I leaned over the back of the couch and read the name at the top of his screen anyway.Kayla.Her last messag
