My Arch Nemesis in my Bed Chapter 60
But it wasn’t Luca’s pick up. It was my dad’s sedan, and both my parents were getting out, looking tired.“Lily?” Mom called out, sounding surprised. “What are you doing sitting on the steps?”“Oh,” I said, trying to hide my disappointment. “Hi. You’re back early.”“We finished up sooner than expected,” Dad said, pulling suitcases out of the trunk. “The lawyers were more efficient than we thought they’d be.”“That’s great.” I stood up, brushing off my shorts. “How did everything go?”“Better than expected,” Mom said, studying my face with that concerned parent look. “Your great-aunt left me some jewelry and a small inheritance.”“That’s really nice.”“Where’s Luca?” Dad asked, looking around like he expected him to materialize. “I thought you two would be together.”I shrugged, trying to look casual. “He had plans.”“What kind of plans?”“I don’t know. Guy stuff.”Mom raised an eyebrow. “Guy stuff?”“You know. A game or whatever.”They exchanged one of those parent looks that meant th

“I’m serious,” I said. “Both of you need to leave. Now.”“I’m not going anywhere,” Jake said. “I was here first.”“And I’m not going anywhere because someone needs to make sure you don’t harass her,” Luca added.“I’m not harassing anyone. I’m trying to have a conversation with a pretty girl, and you’re being a cockblock.”“Oh my God,” I said, putting my hands over my face. “You’re both insane.”“We’re together,” Luca said finally.“Together together? Like boyfriend and girlfriend?”“Yes.”Jake looked at me. “Is that true?”I felt trapped. If I said yes, I’d be lying in front of a bunch of people who knew us as foster siblings. If I said no, I’d be undermining whatever Luca was trying to accomplish.“Okay, enough!” I climbed back up into my lifeguard chair, hoping the height would give me some authority. “This conversation is over. Jake, please find somewhere else to swim. Luca, please go back to your job. I have work to do.”“This is ridiculous,” Jake muttered, but he started gatherin

The community pool opened at nine AM, which meant I had to be there by eight-thirty to set up chairs and test the chlorine levels and pretend I knew what I was doing as a lifeguard. The training had been thorough enough, but there’s something different about being responsible for actual people’s lives versus practicing CPR on a plastic dummy named Annie.I was adjusting the umbrella angles when I spotted Luca across the street at the community center, setting up orange cones on the basketball court. Right, I’d forgotten he did summer sports coaching for kids. He’d been doing it for two years now, teaching everything from volleyball basics to soccer drills to whatever sport the parents were willing to pay for. Good money too, apparently, though not enough to explain last night’s restaurant choice.Of course we’d end up working in the same three-block radius. Of course.He looked up, saw me watching, then very deliberately turned his attention back to his cones like I didn’t exist. Fin

“Lily, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to grab you like that.”I crossed my arms, suddenly feeling cold despite the warm evening air. “What are you so afraid I’m going to see?”“It’s not about what you’ll see. It’s about…” He ran a hand through his hair, messing up the careful styling. “Some things are complicated.”“Try me. I’m smarter than I look.”“I know you are. That’s not the point.”“Then what is the point? Because right now it feels like you think I’m too stupid or too fragile to handle whatever’s on your phone.”“That’s not what I think.”“No? Because that’s what it sounds like when you grab my hand and tell me to stay away from your stuff like I’m some kind of child.”He was quiet for a long moment, staring at the carousel horses frozen in their galloping poses. “I just need you to trust me on this.”“I do trust you. But trust goes both ways, Luca. You can’t ask me to trust you while you’re keeping secrets from me.”“Jesus, Lily. Why can’t you just let this go?”“Because this is s

Twenty minutes later, we were parked outside a chain-link fence surrounding what looked like an abandoned fairground. Rusty rides poked up through overgrown weeds, and a faded sign hung crookedly from the entrance gate.“Sunset Shores Amusement Park,” I read aloud. “Permanently closed due to… I can’t read the rest.”“Bankruptcy,” Luca supplied. “Happened three years ago. But I know how to get in.”“You want to break into an abandoned amusement park?”“Do you trust me?”I looked at him, sitting there in his fancy first-date clothes with that slightly nervous expression he got when he wasn’t sure if I’d think his ideas were stupid or amazing.“Yeah,” I said. “I trust you.”Getting over the fence was easier than I expected, mostly because Luca boosted me up and then basically flew over it himself with the kind of athletic grace that still caught me off guard sometimes. My dress caught on the chain link, but it didn’t tear, which I decided to take as a good sign.The place was eerily beau

The drive started out normal enough. The windows were down because the evening was perfect, Luca’s hand resting on my thigh in a way that made it hard to concentrate on anything else. But after about twenty minutes, I noticed he kept checking the rearview mirror.“Are you expecting someone to follow us?” I asked, twisting around to look out the back window.“What? No.” His hand tightened slightly on the steering wheel. “Just being careful.”“Are you kidnapping me?” I asked, mostly to break the tension. “Because this is definitely not the way to anywhere I recognize.”“Maybe I am.” He brought our joined hands up to his mouth, pressing a kiss to my knuckles. “Would you mind?”The gesture was so casual and sweet that I completely forgot what we were talking about. “Depends on where you’re taking me.”“Somewhere nobody knows us,”Forty-five minutes later, we pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant I’d never seen before in a town called Millfield. The building was all exposed brick and
