whatever happened to love??

Chapter 18

"I said I wanna play boys against girls !! ", megan shrieked.
" And I am saying I wanna play with guys only. Plus you dont even know how to play volleyball!! ", Archie said in a calm tone.
" Do too! "
"Do not"
"Do too! "
" Guys stop!! ", I yelled at them both.
" Megs.. we both know you don't like to play volleyball. Specially because you get sunburnt easily . And Archie stop fighting with her all the time. Now both of you be good and maybe we can play some car-" ,before I could finish Archie had already picked me up while rushing towards the sea.
" ARCHIE NATE SUMMER! Dont you dare- aaah!! " before i could complete my threat Archie had already thrown me into the sea and i could hear the giggles of Megan from behind.
" What did you that for!?"
" Well Elena you need to chill a bit and we are near the sea which the coolest aid for that... ya know" he shrugged while laughing .
"Oh just you wait.. you idiot !!!" And with that I ran after both of them as they ran away.
We were fooling around for a while and I was thankful I hadnt seen Ethan since last night ... James had gone out to get us some drinks .
So it was only megan ,me , max and archie.
After a while we all got tired so i went back to lie on the bench to dry myself before sitting down in the shade to resume my reading while max and megan went for a walk.
Archie snatched the book before I could open it again.
" Damn girl give it a rest. What will you read in the next life if you finish them all in this one?! Anyways i wanna talk to you... its been so long since we had an us time ya know! "
" okaay sorry. I'll give you my undivided attention my lord ... ask me what you will! ", I said while putting the book aside .
" well i wanna know how everything is in your life for once. you know everything about me and my girlfriend .", he said while wiggling his eyes.
" there is nothing to tell actually. I have been so busy career wise that there is nothing personal left. Mum and dad are off to their romantic trip and little bro is focussing on his career too. So everything is good.", i said with a smile on my face.
" thAts not what i was asking and you know it. You're a very private person and I know that Elena but you have to talk about your life as well. I know you don't have one because of that asshole from your past. But at some point you have to let it go... its been years Elena . You dont even know where he is. And-"
" Not before my revenge Archie. I dont want to discuss it anymore. "
" Gosh ... fine whatever but going a bit for dates and all doesnt hurt babe. Plus i heard you were getting cosy with Ethan and all"
" no archie. No ethan and me. He was just poking where his nose has no business and i was trying to put it back where it belongs. No cosy business. "
" whatever you say girl. But the guy's got potential you cant deny ."
