Just Between Us

Chapter Eighteen

Divya's POV

"Kaden?" I asked as I walked into our apartment, after a six hours plane ride I finally managed to be back home barely before midnight, because thankfully Elizabeth had managed to get the plane ready for me to go by four and also had a driver waiting for me on the airport here to take me home.

She must be the most thoughtful person I know.

I turned on the lights only to spot no one other than Grace going through my fridge in only an oversized shirt.

"Shit Div, you scared the fuck out of me." She said before resuming her search.

"Hello to you too, what are you doing in my fridge?" I put my case by the door as we as my keys.

"Hi, I'm looking for ice cream I brought earlier, Kaden and I are watching Sex in the City on her iPad." She took out the ice cream tube and closed the fridge. "Where do you keep your spoons?"

"First cabinet to your left." I watched as she searched for the spoons from my spot in the living room. "And is this like... you know, normal between two people who constantly have sex?"

"What do you mean?" Grace approached me with the ice cream on one hand and the spoons on the other.

"How do you not develop feelings while doing couple things after fucking?"

She shrugged, "I don't see myself dating Kaden. I enjoy this friends with benefits thing we have going on, especially since we are on the same page about it. Has it crossed my mind at one point? Obviously, but at the same time I realized that's not something I want."

Must be a joy to know what you want.

"That makes sense." I mumbled as a reply. "I'm going to say hi to Kaden, is she decent?"

Grace nodded eating a spoonful of ice cream, "It's fine... I'll just go in first just in case." She opened the door and walked in.

"What took you so long? I want to keep watching." I heard Kaden complain.

"Divya's home." Grace replied.

I entered the room and watched the two of them on the bed with everything to binge watch, Kaden had a little bit of more clothes on than Grace had. She sat up on the bed when she saw me. "Divya! Why didn't you tell me you were coming back to day?"

"It was kind of last minute." I really wanted to talk to Kaden, but I didn't know how to say it without making Grace feel bad.

Kaden stood up from the bed and hugged me, "You must be tired, come on let's get you to your room. Grace, do not press play without me."

Grace groaned in annoyance, "Okay but hurry up, either the ice cream melts or I eat it up by myself."

"Yeah, yeah." Kaden said as she pushed me out of her room into the hallway. She dragged me all the way to my room and only then did she let go off me.

I closed the door of my room and took off my shoes and jacket before throwing myself on the bed. God I missed my bed. Not that the beds at Elizabeth's place were anything but comfortable, especially during... I have to get my head out of the gutter.

"What's up with you?" Kaden asked, she stood with arms crossed looking at me on the bed.

"What's up with what?" I played dumb.

She hummed, "You slept with her again, didn't you?"

"How did you know?"

"Well you look mortified for one." Kaden pointed out.

I sat up so I could look at her, "I'm not mortified, I'm just confused."

"Confused about what? Your sexuality?"
