Behind the Camera

Chapter Fifteen

"Let me see," I insist and she shakes her head and extends her arms to make it harder for me to reach her phone.

"Erana James I am not kidding show me," I say.

"Mia I haven't talked to her in months I don't know why she texted," She tells me and I sarcastically laugh. "Oh yeah then let me see? You know we're not dating or anything so you can technically talk to whoever you'd like to," I say and she shakes her head handing me her phone. "No I would never do that to you, I want to be with you I just don't know if I'm ready for people to know that," She replies and I unlock her phone.

I had put my face id in her phone about a week after knowing her and she did the same with my phone.

We have always for the most part been open with each other and completely transparent.

I click on the message and feel as Erana hovers.

They actually haven't talked in months.. This girl is probably drunk texting her right now.

"I don't know why she would say that," She mumbles and I hand her back her phone. "Are you gonna reply?" I ask and she shakes her head. "And say what?" She questions and I shrug. "I don't know what do you want to say?" I shoot back another question. "I don't want to say anything Mia," She insists and grabs my hand. "I'm not gonna reply to her," She tells me and I nod looking over to her.

She leans into my lips and I kiss her back. "I'm sorry," She whispers and I cup her face kissing her again.

She did literally nothing wrong I'm just jealous when it comes to her and I don't quite know why. I'm never usually jealous but with her... It's almost overwhelming.

"Mia tonight promise me you won't smoke some random girls pot in the bathroom," Erana says as she throws on her dress.

"No promises," I giggle and put my lipstick on.

"I'm serious.. You got lucky last night," She says and I look at her through my mirror. "I promise," I assure her and then turn to face her.

"You look so pretty," I say my lip out on display for her giving her a pouty face. God I was so in love with this girl.

She looks over to me with a smile.

I get up and touch her shoulders gliding down her bare arms looking at her beautiful body.

"You done," She giggles and I look to her face.

"I'm never done," I reply which causes her to blush. I love that even now we are together or well whatever we are, she still blushes and causes me to blush. The spark hasn't gone away at all. The nerves are still there. The anticipation is still there.. Everything has just intensified.

I lean in, my hands remaining on her shoulders as hers grab onto my hips as our lips connect.

We finish up getting ready before we climb into the uber we had gotten with the other girls.

"Let's face it no one is coming back sober," Shannon says and everyone cheers her on and agrees sipping on the wine we had dispersed when we had gotten in the car.

We arrive at the venue and there was a set of stairs leading to where the party was being held.

I walk in beside Erana and she gets all the attention and I gladly stand off to the side and make small talk on my own.

I reach out and grab her hand getting her attention before someone else got it. I pull her to the bar and we take shots together.. One after the other.

Shannon joins us with Reign as we down a couple more with them.

"Bathroom?" I ask over the loud music and conversation happening and Erana nods her head.
