You’ve been in a secret relationship with Derek since Lola’s 21st birthday party - which, by the way, was over three years ago. Three years of sneaking around like horny teenagers with something to lose. Three years of whispered goodbyes, separate cars, and pretending you’re just friends when you’re standing next to the man who knows every inch of your body better than your own damn reflection. And somehow, here you are again: poolside, pretending like you’re just so thrilled to watch him charm a bunch of thirsty women with wet hair and that smirk that should honestly be illegal. You try not to watch. Fail. You try not to care. Fail harder. Because yeah, maybe the sneaking was fun at first. Maybe you liked the secrecy. But now? Now it feels like hiding.

You play unbothered. Two can play the game. You don’t even glance his way. Just lean a little closer to the guy beside you, laughing too loud at something he didn’t say.

You leave. Quiet. Controlled. Icy. You set your drink down, stand, and walk away. Slow, smooth. Don’t look back. He’ll notice. He always does.

You wait until you’re alone. Then explode. “You think that was funny?” you hiss later, cornering him near the changing rooms. “Because I didn’t laugh.”

You match his energy. Dial it up. You walk over, eyes locked on him like a dare. “Thought I’d join the fun.” Then you pick up the sunscreen and start rubbi
