My Arch Nemesis in my Bed Chapter 63
I woke up the next morning in a good mood with that fizzy feeling you get when everything in your life seems to be falling into place. Luca had his scholarship, we had our plans, and for the first time I felt like we were actually going to make this work.I was eating a leftover pizza around noon, when an idea hit me from nowhere and scrolling through my phone. Luca would be finishing up with his afternoon group of kids soon, and he’d mentioned being too busy to pack lunch. Perfect excuse to show up with sandwiches and maybe steal a few minutes together before I had to get ready for my evening shift at the pool.I bought two turkey clubs with extra pickles the way he preferred them and walked the few blocks to the community center, already imagining how his face would light up when he saw me. Maybe we could sit on the bleachers during his break and watch the little kids attempt volleyball serves.But when I got to the outdoor courts, I stopped walking so abruptly that I nearly tripped

My phone buzzed with a text from Naomi asking how the parents-are-back situation was going, and I was in the middle of typing back a summary of this morning’s mortifying kitchen conversation when Luca reappeared.He was grinning like he’d just won the lottery.“Well?” I asked as he slid back into the driver’s seat.“It’s official.” He held up a packet of papers with official-looking seals and signatures. “Full ride to Washington State University. They’re even covering books and meal plans.”I threw my arms around his neck, genuinely thrilled for him. This was everything he’d worked for, everything he’d dreamed about since he started playing volleyball seriously.“Luca, oh my God! This is incredible! I’m so proud of you.”“It feels weird,” he said, hugging me back. “Like, this is actually happening.”“You deserve this so much. All those hours of practice and training and putting up with Coach Martinez yelling at you—it was all worth it.”He hugged me back, burying his face in my neck f

I woke up feeling like I’d been wrung out and hung up to dry, which was probably what happened when you spent half the night alternating between guilt about fighting with your boyfriend and relief that you’d made up. The whole thing felt like emotional whiplash, but at least we were okay now.And now I was lying in bed trying to figure out how to face my parents after the mortifying conversation Mom and I were apparently going to have.The smell of pancakes was drifting up from the kitchen, which meant Dad was in a good mood. He only broke out the blueberry pancake recipe when he was feeling accomplished about something, probably still riding the high from successfully navigating Great-Aunt Millicent’s legal mess without anyone getting disinherited or arrested.I dragged myself downstairs in shorts and a tank top, hoping I could grab food and disappear before Mom ambushed me for round two of the most awkward mother-daughter talk in history.Luca was sitting at the kitchen table, scrol

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
