007

— chapter seven —

Gonna love me — Teyana Taylor

— Anailah —

Bright flashes caused me to stir in my sleep, turning over to wrap my arms over whatever was next to me.

"Awweeeee, They're so cute." I hear Arielle's coo, prompting me to curse her in my head.

"I thought they hated each other." A male voice joins in.

"Tais toi!" Arielle whisper shouts in french. "Let the married couple be happy."

"I would be happier if you two hadn't woken me up." I grumble, chucking a pillow directly at Arielle's face.

"Ow!" She shouts, causing jude to wake up.

"Cama, how the hell did you get inside my house?" He grunts.

"You literally gave me your extra keys last week." He deadpans tossing them at jude. "I figured i should come in and make sure you didn't set the place on fire while drunk."

Jude clicks his tongue in response, lifting himself off of the couch and turning back to me.

"I'm gonna go call the lawyer about your situation." He informs.

"No." I reject.

"I'm not doing this with you again. I'm calling the—"

"No." I quip once again, making him rub his face.

"Just let me help you—"

"No. I'll find a lawyer myself."

"With what money?" He asks.

He does have a point...

Still no.

"I'll find a way." I respond, heading into the kitchen for a glass of water.

"Are we interrupting some kind of marriage argument?" Eddy jokingly asks, prompting jude to smack the back of his head.

I grab a cup from the dish rack while jude comes in behind me, taking a seat at the island.

"Either i find your lawyer, or you're not getting paid for the pr stunt." He states, his hands crossed on the counter as his eyes drill into the back of my head.

"Why are you so moved to help me?" I ask, placing my cup in front of me on the opposite side of the island from him.

"Will you allow me to help you? Or no." He states flatly as if he's handing me some kind of ultimatum.

"If you would tell me why." I state, prompting him to hold back a huge groan. He opts for a sigh instead, pulling out his phone to make the call.

"I have class today." I mutter, walking out of the kitchen and sauntering towards Arielle and Eddy, who were comfortable on the couch in a deep conversation.

Too bad.

"Ari. Class is in 30 minutes." I flatly remind her, causing her to practically jump off the couch.

"Oh mon dieu, i forgot. Gotta go, bye!" She quips, waving at eddy and rushing out the door.

We quickly hop in the car as we prepare ourselves for the hour long lecture.

"Good thing you left your backpack in my ca— wait, who's shirt is that?" She asks, pointing to the rather oversized shirt jude handed me last night.

"Judes." I sigh, hoping she wont go into a rant about our "chemistry"

"Oh my gosh, you guys are so meant for each other. His shirt even looks good on you!" She squeals, trying to push her double date fantasies onto me.

"Nope. Never gonna happen." I shake my head violently, disagreeing with her.

"Let's be serious, every time you've done this denial thing you're doing right now, it's backfired. Accept it." She lectures.

"No, i hate him and he hates me. It'll stay that way too so don't even dream about it." I reject once again.

"Okay, remember that boy you hated in 7th grade?" She asks, making me groan.

"Mael? That was in year 7. It meant nothing." I argue.

"You can say that about jude when you're married with three kids—" she mutters, prompting me to punch her shoulder.

"ARRÊTE FRAPPER MOI!" She screams, slightly swerving as we near college campus.

"If you had crashed at least we wouldn't have to take exams." I muttered, placing my chin in my hands as i stare out the car window.

— Jude —

"You know that you could just tell her that you like her, right?" Camavinga chimes, scrolling through netflix.

"I don't— and quit acting like you live here." I swat his feet off of the coffee table, taking a seat.

"Just saying. You guys act like a married couple on the verge of divorce." He comments.

"That's cause we are, dummy." I respond, smacking his head again. "You're so slow sometimes."

"Chill, i forgot." he whines, rubbing the back of his head in pain. "Do you at least like her?"

"Kinda—" i start, but then a grin starts to form on his face. "I mean no." I stutter.

"You're missing out, Nai's cool. So is her friend." He says, clicking on money heist.

"Nai?" I ask, prompting a teasing grin to hatch onto his face.

"Oooooh, looks like Jude's mad i called his wifey a nickname." He teases, putting his hands up.

I smack his head again.
"Shut up. What's it with you and her friend?" I ask in genuine curiosity.

"She's pretty and we hit it off super fast. I found out we went to the same high school in paris too."

"Cama's in love, huh." I tease, pushing his shoulder.

"Looks like you are too." He claps back.

"Shut up."

"Dickhead."
