Chapter 6

“Something really weird happened today,” Lila stated. She took a sip from her glass of ice water and looked over at Nick. He was helping her study for French.

He looked up from her textbook curiously. “Oh, yeah? What?”

“I went out to lunch with Kate this afternoon, and she said she saw Josh out with some girl last night,” she replied nonchalantly.

“What? Your Josh who was supposed to be studying for a test?”

“Yeah, but she wasn’t sure if it was him, and she thought they might have been studying together. He would never cheat on me. He loves me.”

“I’m not so sure, Lila. I’m not going to lie to you. Guys are assholes, and I wouldn’t trust any one of them. I mean, I’m not saying he’s cheating on you for sure or anything, but I would watch out if I were you,” Nick said suspiciously.

“Honestly, I don’t think he would do that to me. He never has in the past. He’s a good guy.”

“Okay, but just don’t think it couldn’t happen. I don’t want to see you getting hurt.”

She smiled gratefully and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Don’t worry, Nick. I can take care of myself.”
