Falling For The Captain Chapter 71
Chapter 71Izzy"Isolde, over here! Riven, give us one together!"The photographers at the entrance were shouting before we even reached the top of the steps, and the flashes came so fast that for a few seconds I could not see anything except white. Riven's hand found the small of my back and stayed there, steady, while I smiled the way I had watched a hundred players smile into my own camera. It was strange being on the other side of the lens. My own camera hung around my neck on its strap, heavy against the blue dress, and I kept one hand on it like it could protect me."Keep walking," Riven said through his smile."I am walking.""You are walking like you are about to fight someone.""I might be."He laughed under his breath, and it was the first time I had heard him laugh in two days. He had showered at Callie's and borrowed a razor and put on the suit his father had picked out for him, and he looked like the captain everyone in this city thought he was. He had also, finally, put

Chapter 70Izzy"Absolutely not," I said, pushing the blue dress back across Callie's bed like it was something that might bite me.Callie picked it up and held it against herself in front of the mirror. "You have not even tried it on.""I do not need to try it on. I know what it is for.""It is for a gala, Izzy. That is what all three of them are for." She turned so the fabric swung around her knees. "It is a nice dress. It was my sister's. She wore it to a wedding and two different men asked for her number.""Lily told me to wear the blue dress," I said. "In a text. With a photo of me and Riven in a parking lot that she did not even take, because Kane took it. So no, I am not wearing the blue one. I would rather go in my pajamas."Callie lowered the dress slowly and looked at me in the mirror. Then she hung it on the back of the closet door, as far away from me as the room allowed, and sat down on the bed next to me."Okay," she said. "No blue."I had been at her apartment for an ho
Falling For The Captain Chapter 69
Chapter 69RivenI yanked the wheel to the right without signaling.The car jumped across the lane and onto the exit ramp so fast that Lily slammed into her door. A horn blared behind us, long and angry. I did not look back. I took the curve of the ramp too hard and felt the back tires slip for a second on the loose gravel at the edge before they caught again."Riven!""Hold on.""I am holding on!"At the bottom of the ramp there was a stop sign and a long empty road running through flat brown fields. I rolled through the sign without stopping and turned left. Then I checked the mirror.Nothing. Just the empty ramp behind us and a crow sitting on the guardrail.I let out a breath.Then the grey car came down the ramp.It did not rush. It did not swerve. It came down slow and careful, stopped at the stop sign like a driving school student, looked both ways, and turned left after us."He is still there," Lily said. She had twisted all the way around in her seat."I see him."I pushed th
Falling For The Captain Chapter 68
Chapter 68RivenI ran.Down the hall, out the front door, across the porch full of splinters from the camera I had torn off the wall. I jumped the steps. My bare feet hit the gravel and it hurt and I did not care. I had left my shoes on the dock. My socks were still stuffed inside them. I was not going back for them.My keys were in my pocket. My hands were shaking so hard I dropped them in the gravel by the car door and had to crouch down and dig for them.Behind me, I heard the screen door bang.I looked up. Lily was standing on the porch. She had come out after me, but she had stopped at the top of the steps. Her arms were wrapped around herself. Her hair was blowing across her face. She was looking at me, and then at the road, and then back at the house, like all three were pulling her in different directions.I found the keys. I stood up.Everything in me wanted to march back up those steps and grab her by the arm. Put her in the car. Lock the door. Drive. Decide for her, the wa

Chapter 67Riven"Get in the car, Lily.""No.""I am not asking.""I know you are not asking. You never ask. You just decide things for people." She was on her feet now, backing toward the end of the dock, her bare heels right at the edge of the boards. "That is exactly what your father does."That hit me low. I stopped walking."Do not," I said."Do not what? Tell the truth? You drove two hours to tell me the truth. Here is mine." She pointed past me at the house. "The second I walk off this property, someone sees it. That camera sees it. And if I leave, Kane does not wait for the gala. He does not wait for anything. He plays it tonight anyway, or he sends it somewhere worse. A website. Her mother's phone. The team's group chat. You have no idea what he will do.""Then we stop him.""How?""I do not know yet.""You do not know yet." She laughed, and it cracked in the middle. "That is your whole plan? You do not know yet?""It is better than sitting on a dock waiting for him to come b

Chapter 66RivenI took the soda.It was so cold it hurt my fingers. Lily did not turn around to watch me take it. She just let go when she felt my hand, and her arm went back down into her lap, and she kept looking out at the water.I stood there behind her for a second with the can in my hand. I did not know what to do with my body. Everything I had planned on the drive up here, everything I was going to say, all of it was gone. I had pictured shouting. I had pictured her running. I had pictured Kane coming around the side of the house. I had not pictured this. A girl sitting at the end of a dock, barefoot, with a soda waiting for me like I was coming home from school.So I did the only thing that made sense. I walked to the end of the dock and sat down next to her.I took off my shoes. I do not know why. I pulled off my socks and stuffed them inside and set them on the boards behind me, and I put my feet over the edge the way we used to. The water was right there under my toes. Clo

Izzy He pushed the door open anyway. I jumped up and tried to shove it closed but he slipped in and shut it behind him. He looked at me. My face felt flushed. Breathing still fast.“You okay?” he asked. “You look all red and out of breath.”“I am fine,” I snapped. “What do you want? Get out of my

Izzy I slammed the door so hard my hand stung right away. My heart would not slow down. It kept pounding like it wanted to jump out. I ran down the hall to my room and locked the door fast. I pressed my back against it and slid all the way down to the floor. My legs felt weak. What the hell did I

Riven I shifted on the bed trying to ignore it pushing the phone down for a second and running a hand through my hair thinking about all the reasons this was stupid I hated how she looked at me like I was the intruder when they moved in and how she fought back every time instead of just staying ou
Falling For The Captain Chapter 4
Riven I couldn’t shake it no matter how hard I tried, the whole thing kept replaying in my head like some bad loop I couldn’t pause, her standing there in my doorway with her eyes wide and her mouth dropped open after she barged in without knocking like she owned the place too now that our parents
