Chapter Eleven

I stayed after the party broke up and helped clean. There was nothing else I could do. I was miles from home, didn’t have any money, and I didn’t have my phone, but I did have a nasty feeling about where it was.

“Rachel, I can do the rest.” Miss Ruth took the trash bag from my hands. “It’s getting late and Margaret will be expecting you both home for dinner. How did you get here?”

I glanced over at Christian who was helping Nicky pack up his new toys. “I walked.”

“Oh, it’s much too far for you to walk back. Christian will give you a ride.”

“Actually, I—”

“Christian, you and Rachel go on home. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

He nodded. “Okay, Nicky. Tomorrow.”

Nicky beamed. “Don’t forget.”

“I won’t.”

Christian walked off the pavilion and strode off without a backward glance. I was clearly expected to follow.

“Bye, Nicky. Bye, Miss Ruth.”

I hurried to catch up to him. We walked back to the car in silence. Me because I didn’t know what to say or do around him anymore. Him for reasons I’d never comprehend.

I slipped into the passenger seat and he took off. I thought the ride to the park was awkward but this was much worse.

I kept sneaking glances at him. What was that supposed to mean that he never lied to me? He can’t be saying he was trying to seduce me for real when yesterday he admitted he was getting back at me for the lunchroom. What was with this guy? Why doesn’t he make any sense?

I was so caught up thinking about Christian that it took me a while to realize we were nowhere near my house. We weren’t even going in the right direction.

I bolted up in my seat. “Christian, where are you taking me?”

“You’ll see.”

“I’ll see? So you’re into kidnapping now?”

“Yep.” He sounded highly amused. “I got into it the same time you got into stalking.”

“Asshole.” I folded my arms. “What about dinner? My parents will flip if we’re late.”

“I called them earlier and said we were eating at Theo and Geo’s house.”

“Theo and Geo?”

“Everyone is over there in the hot tub. Your friend Estelle too.”

“Oh.” I sat back in my seat. “Fine.”

We drove through town until we reached the gates of Meadow Creek Manors. The twins’ house sat at the end of a row of impressive houses. Christian parked his car behind Estelle’s and got out. I didn’t move.

“Bryant, what are you doing? Get out of my car.”

“I’m coming. I need to”—my eyes flicked down—“tie my shoes.”

He shrugged and continued on. The moment his back was turned, I twisted around and felt for my phone. I picked up the blanket and there it was lying on the floor.

I took it up and got out of the car. I pulled up my messages as I strode toward the door. I had about fifty from Estelle.

“Is that your phone?”

“Yep.” I slipped it into my pocket. “I told you I had it.”

He gave me a funny look as I sidestepped him and pressed the bell.
