CHAPTER 20

Harper

“Oh, think again! I’m not going to let you catch me!” I screamed over my shoulder to Gage. His go-kart was about to bump into mine as my pedal was pushed to the floor in a fruitless attempt to speed away from him. His laughter rang out above the roar of the engines as he pulled around the side of me, racing by. “You bastard!” I yelled at him as he sped past.

“Just keep up, babe, you and I are still beating the two slow pokes behind us,” he yelled back.

We’d been competing as teams, and this was the tiebreaker. Gage and Jared weren’t lying when they said they were competitive. But I fell into the trap of it with them as the day went on.

Delia and Jared were dealt two dud cars on this last run, and I was okay with that as Gage and I rounded the last turn of the course. We raced past the line as our time ran out, and our friends hadn’t even made it to the last curve. Their frustration was clear on their faces as they pulled their karts into the line to park.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” Jared complained. “This doesn’t count, man. We had the worst cars out there.”

“Hey, ya get what ya get, man,” Gage countered.

Delia was chuckling as she stood from her car, her and I walking away from what we knew would now become a heated discussion between the best friends.

They were literally talking like little kids.

But I loved it. I loved seeing how they got along and the love they had for each other. It showed me a side of Gage I was unfamiliar with, and I liked what I was seeing. He was laid back today. Away from work, he was able to kick back and have fun.

“He really likes you,” Delia said, interrupting my thoughts as we made our way to the exit. “I’ve been around for a while. Long enough to see him with others, and he’s different with you.”

Her words struck me, but I wasn’t exactly sure how to respond to them, so I remained quiet as she and I walked through the gate.

“I mean in a good way,” she continued, in tune with my silence. “Such a good way.”

She took my arm in hers as we walked toward the towering roller coasters on the boardwalk. The sun was low in the sky, soon to set, as we made our way to the pier. Delia’s small laugh as she continued talking made me look her way.

“Gage is not your typical guy when it comes to girls,” she said.

“Oh really, in what way?” She had piqued my interest.

But just then, the guys came swooping in behind us. I’d have to wait to find out what she meant.

“Let’s go, you two!” Gage hollered. “We need to get in line for the Cyclone again before it gets any longer.” He grabbed my hand, pulling me along, Jared doing the same with Delia. The four of us ran to the queue for the ride like teenagers, laughing and out of breath.
