My Ex's New Girlfriend (gxg)

Part 18

I have a thing for my ex's girlfriend.

How fucking ridiculous does that sound??

Very.

Katie telling me that she wanted to see what was under my bikini kept replaying over and over again in my head.

I had no idea how I was going to act around her the next time that I saw her.

Was she going to pretend like that exchange never happened?

I knew that I had to tell someone about it, and that someone was going to be Devin.

I didn't have work the next night, so I asked Devin if we could hangout. He was working a lunch shift, and he told me to come over after his shift done.

When I walked into his apartment, his cat, Houdini greeted me.

"Hello," I said in a soft voice to Houdini, leaning down to pet him, "I can't wait to own a cat one day when I move out."

Kim claims that she is allergic to dogs and cats. I have never quite believed that, I just think she doesn't want a pet.

"Do you want anything to eat or drink?" Devin asked me, "I don't have much, per usual, but I could order us something."

"You know...I could actually go for some Thai or Chinese food."

"Are you good with Thai?" Devin asked me.

I nodded, "Absolutely. I'll Venmo you the money for my food."

"No need," Devin said, taking out his phone to order food off Doordash.

We took a seat on his couch next to each other, and after Devin placed the order for our food, I asked him, "How was work?"

"Pretty slow, actually," Devin said, "I did okay in tips, but nothing great."

"Sunday afternoons are always like that," I said back.

Devin nodded and then grinned at me, "I'm still proud of you for going swimming last night at Brandon's. I know it wasn't easy for you."

"It wasn't, you're right. But I'm glad I did it," I said, "Though...something else from last night has me confused."

"What is it?" Devin asked me.

"Katie," I sighed, "I don't know exactly what's going on, but we've had a bit of a...flirty vibe with each other. It's like we start off talking friendly to each other, and it then somehow turns into flirting."

Devin nodded, "I've noticed, mainly at the club when you and her were dancing with each other. I just didn't say anything. I also noticed how close you and her were to each other last night. I don't think anyone else at work would think anything of it, they would probably chalk it up to you and her becoming friends, but I have thought maybe it was something more."

"It feels like it is. Which is so fucked. Last night she told me that if she wasn't with someone, she would want to see what was under my bikini."

Devin's eyes widened and he sputtered, "What? She said that to you?"

I nodded, "She did...and I hate that I liked that she said that to me."

"Okay, wow. A lot to unpack here. First and foremost, she shouldn't be saying that while she's dating someone else."

"That someone who happens to be my ex-boyfriend."

"This is one crazy situation, Cam. Are you into her as well?"

I bit my lip nervously and gave a small nod, "I mean...I think so. Obviously, nothing can happen, especially while she's with Tristan. It feels so fucking weird saying that out loud."
