camila's pov

i grabbed my phone and texted jack.

to: jack johnson
from: camila maloley
we need to talk, can you call me or something?

from: jack johnson
to: camila maloley
yeah sure, i'll call you. is everything alright?

i didn't reply and just waited for him to call me. i needed to talk to him about what we even were now, i mean, we were definitely more than friends.

i suddenly heard my phone ring. i picked it up and answered.

"hello? jack?"

"hey, cami. what's up, you said you needed to talk?"

"oh, yeah. so i came home today, after i left your place, and a few hours later, nate came home. he literally charged upstairs and asked if you and i were dating, so i said no, because i didn't think so. and then he's like "good because that would be disgusting" and stuff, so i just wanted to call you and tell you." i said, recapping all the things that happened in the last few minutes.

i heard him sigh through the phone and i instantly felt bad about the way i put it. i didn't mean to make him think that i don't want to date him.

"well, i don't know what to say to that. your brother is one of my best friends, you know that, right? so i can't exactly do anything about it. but thanks for telling me, i guess. i'll try and get him to warm up to the idea, maybe." he replied awkwardly.

i nodded and realized that he couldn't see me. the line was silent for a few moments while we just sat there and thought. i could hear his breathing and it matched mine.

"jack?" i asked, after a while.

"yeah?"

"what are we? like, are we dating or what?"

"we can be whatever you want us to be, baby."
