Nanny To My highschool Nemesis Chapter 21
Emerson's POV"Anyway." I leaned back in the chair, steering us away from the subject of Brooklyn entirely. "Did you see that match last night? The one Marquez was talking about?""The City game?" Jordan's face lit up immediately, exactly as I'd hoped. "Bro, that second half was insane. I still don't understand how they let that equalizer through.""Defense fell apart completely.""Completely." He grabbed his controller again, gesturing at the screen. "Speaking of which — you in for a rematch? I've been waiting all week to wipe the floor with you again.""You wish."We played for another twenty minutes, the conversation drifting easily through football, school, nothing that mattered. I felt myself relax for the first time all evening, the tension from the dinner finally draining out of my shoulders.Then Jordan paused the game."Oh, before I forget." He set the controller down. "Your place. Next team party. Two weekends from now."I blinked. "My place?""Yeah, man. We voted on it week

Emerson's POV"It's the turmeric," I said, pressing my hand harder against my stomach for effect. "I'm allergic. Must have been in the soup.""Turmeric?" My father stared at me, genuinely alarmed. "I didn't think there was any turmeric in—""I actually think I tasted something too," Riley cut in quickly, dabbing her mouth with her napkin. "Now that you mention it. A sort of earthy aftertaste."I almost laughed. She had no idea what turmeric tasted like and neither, clearly, did anyone else at that table, because three people nodded along like she had just confirmed a scientific fact."I need to see a doctor," I said, straightening slowly, one hand still braced on the table edge. "Just to be safe. It's happened before. It gets worse if I leave it.""I'll come with you," my father said immediately, already reaching for his jacket."No." I shook my head, coughing once more for good measure. "Stay. Please. The Holloways came all this way." I looked at James Holloway, who was hovering half

Brooklyn's POV"Emerson, you remember Riley." Patrick gestured warmly across the table as the Holloways settled into their seats. "It's been, what, three years since you two last saw each other?""Something like that," Emerson said.He had shown up. I noticed that the second he walked into the dining room at five to seven, dressed properly, hair combed, looking every bit the son his father wanted on display tonight. He hadn't looked at me once since arriving. I told myself that was fine. I told myself it was exactly what I wanted.Riley Holloway was every bit as polished as Patrick had promised. Soft blonde waves, a dress that probably cost more than my mother's rent, and a laugh that arrived precisely on cue whenever Patrick made one of his increasingly unsubtle jokes about the two of them."You two were inseparable as kids," Patrick said, refilling his wine glass. "Riley used to follow you around the old summer house like a shadow.""Dad.""I'm just saying." Patrick raised his hands

Brooklyn's POV"The dinner." I stared at him. "You need me at the dinner.""Not at it." He glanced down the corridor both ways. A few students were moving at the far end but nobody close. He looked back at me and then did something I had not seen him do before — he stepped in and lowered his voice so that only I could hear it.His mouth was close to my ear. Close enough that I felt the warmth of it."I have a meeting tonight," he said quietly. "Seven o'clock. Same time as the dinner. My dad doesn't know about it and he won't approve it." A pause. "I need you to cover for me. Tell him I'm not feeling well or that something came up. Whatever you can make believable. Just get me out of that dining room without him asking questions."He stayed where he was for a second longer than necessary.Then he straightened up and took a step back, watching my face for a reaction.I looked at him.He looked at me.I put both hands flat on his chest and pushed.Not hard. Just enough to move him back a

Brooklyn's POV"I'm actually in the middle of something," I said, gesturing back toward the classroom door. "Can this wait until — "His hand closed around my wrist.Not roughly. Just firmly enough that stopping was the only reasonable option. A few people near the door were already looking. Someone inside the classroom had turned completely around in their seat to watch through the small window in the door. I could feel the stares landing on us like something physical."Emerson." I kept my voice low. "People are watching.""Let them." He was already moving, pulling me with him down the corridor without breaking stride.I could have pulled away. I thought about it. But the grip wasn't hurting me and something about the urgency in how he was moving made me hold the argument back. I matched his pace instead and let him lead us around the corner and further down the empty hallway until the classroom was out of sight and the sound of the lesson behind us faded into nothing.He let go.I t

Brooklyn's POVI should have gone to bed.Instead I was still standing in the hallway outside my bedroom door, telling myself I was just waiting for my eyes to adjust to the dark, while Patrick's voice carried faintly back to me from around the corner where he had stopped to say one more thing to Emerson."She's exactly the kind of girl you should be spending time with." His voice was low but the hallway carried sound well. "Intelligent, well-mannered, comes from a good family. Her father and I go back a long way, Emerson. This dinner is important."Emerson said nothing."I'm not asking you to make any decisions. I'm asking you to show up and be present." A pause. "Can you do that?""I said I'd be there.""I know what you said. I'm asking if you can actually be present. Not just in the room. Present."Another silence. Longer this time."Yes," Emerson said flatly."Good." The sound of Patrick moving. "Get some sleep. Tomorrow needs to go well."Footsteps came back in my direction and I

Brooklyn's pov "Here is the deal." Emerson leaned against the hallway wall, arms crossed, voice low enough that Daisy couldn't hear from the dining room. He looked completely relaxed, like he negotiated truces every morning before breakfast. "I stay out of your way," he said, "so you're free to

Brooklyn's pov "Time to feast."I heard Emerson say — cleats still on, grass-stained from soccer practice, heading straight for the kitchen like the fridge owed him something.I stayed on the couch and waited.The silence that followed was deeply satisfying."What the — " A pause. Then louder. "Why

Brooklyn's pov "I'm really sorry, Mr. Weston. I can't work for you."The words came out before I could stop them. Patrick turned from the hallway and looked at me slowly, the way someone does when they're deciding how serious you are."Brooklyn." His voice was calm. "You are contracted through th

Brooklyn's pov "Move!"Emerson shoved past me before I could even process what was happening. He threw himself over Daisy and me, arms spread wide, taking the full weight of the branch across his back.The crack was loud. Then silence.I scrambled to my feet, heart hammering. "Emerson — ""I'm fin
