"She wasn't by his side the whole night." jodie says. I roll my eyes.
"I think you need to stop talking about carter." I say Taylor nods and then splashes water at me. It's the middle of the night and we are at the little lazy river water pool thing they got going on at this hotel in Atlanta.
"Butt face." I say splashing him back.
"Wow such a come back I am so hurt." he says and I cross my arms sticking out my bottom lip in a pout. He suddenly comes up to my face and grabs my bottoms lip between his two. Passionately kissing me, Hayes lets out a girly scream.
"Ew what the hell was that." Taylor smiles and pulls away.
"That my friend is, something only
Professionals can do. And you are not." Hayes looks at Jodie and waggles his brows.
"Hayes you would pull my bottom lip off." Hayes blushes and hands jodie her drink.
"I'm not about to give you sex advice." Taylor says dunking his head under the water. All of us except Hayes burst out into laughter.
"Oh c'mon, you guys don't even have sex." Taylor grabs my waist and pulls me close to him, his hands almost grabbing my butt.
"But you see I can change that so easily." I bite my lip. Then it hits me, the doctors, the results, Cameron's face.
"Not till marriage." I say kissing him
On the cheek. Taylor growls and attacks my neck with his lips.
"So okay, I was thinking we should all go on a triple date." jodie stops filing her nails.
"You mean double?" Hayes shakes his head.
"No, I'm talking about the four of us and then carter and de-"
"Nope." jodie says cutting him off. Hayes sighs.
"You can't avoid him forever." jodie gives Hayes a questioning look.
"Hayes you kicked his ass."
"I was defending you, It was kinda in the moment, I felt on top of the world." he places a kiss on her forehead. Jodie's pats his knee.
"Look I'm sorry, I'm just I don't know about the situation." Hayes smiles.
"Hey Taylor can you pass the sour candies?" I ask as Taylor and I pretend to eat popcorn.
"Sure thing babe, this is my favorite part! Hayes is going to then call-"
"Shh don't spoil it geez, I haven't see this episode yet." Jodie gets out of the water.
"C'mon Hayes." Hayes waves bye and as they leave we watch as Hayes swats at Jodie's butt.
"HAYES GET IT." Taylor yells, he then earns the privilege of being flicked off by both of them.
"Ah young love." I say and wrap my arms around Taylor's neck.
"So what do you we have? Old love?" I laugh and shake my head.
"We have perfect love."
---
We stand inside the hotel conference room. Everyone is scattered around. I watch as carter starts to tickle Deborah. Then she pushes him off.
"I said stop it you idiot." she crosses her arms and moves away from him.
"Wow, I don't think I've seen 'em any bitchier." I say taking a drink from my water.
"I'm thankful for you everyday." Taylor says his eyes still wide on the couple.
We both separate, to go mingle. I notice Deborah talking to Gilinsky, then Matt, then Nash. God if Jodie could see what I am seeing, she'd probably have a megaphone and be screaming.
"Skank alert SKANK ALERT CODE RED."
I shake my head at the thought. Then, I watch as Deborah grabs Cameron's hand. I walk closer to where I can hear them.
"We should go somewhere, less loud ya know." Cameron gives her a small smile, too nice to turn her away.
"Uhm no I'm good." She pouts.
"Oh come on Cameron, have you ever been with a girl like me." his face goes serious and he crosses his arms.
"No and I definitely don't want to." She bites her lip and sticks her boobs out practically rubbing them against Cameron. That's when I lose it.
"Uhm don't you have a boyfriend." I say pulling the bitch away from Cameron. I place myself between the two.
"Look I don't know who you think you are, but you stay the fuck away from Cameron, he is too good for you. You have a fucking boyfriend. If you want to fuck around, find someone else to fuck." she scowls at me.
"What are you gunna do about it bitch?" I step forward and then Taylor runs up. Pulling me away from both of them.
"Hey look, whatever she said, I'm sorry, go home girl. You're upsetting us and we don't need that." carter comes up to Deborah's side.
"What's going on?" she turns to him and pouts.
"Cameron was trying to make move on me, and now this girl is all up on my case." she burries her face in her hands and carter wraps his arms around her.
"BULL FUCKING SHIT." jodie and I yell at the same time. We smile at each other and exchange high fives.
"She came up on him. Get that animal a leash." jodie says.
"I swear to god Cameron. stay away from her. I don't want you ruining her too." Carter hisses, my heart falls.
"I didn't man, I promise." carter scoffs.
"You promise a lot of things, c'mon. We are leaving." carter takes her hand and they walk out. but before they are out of view, she turns around and winks then blows a kiss at us.
"God what a vindictive bitch." Jodie says walking away.
"Carter is fucking stupid." Cameron says. Taylor nods.
"Hey Mel what got into you, I don't think I've seen you so angry." I feel heat gather on my cheeks.
"Uhm, I was just looking out for everyone." I say playing with my hair. Cameron winks at me and then leaves the room. I close my eyes, but every time I do, his lips feel like they are on mine, his hand are placed on my hips and my hands run through his hair.
"You seemed very passionate." Taylor says as we walk back to our rooms.
"Don't mess with my friends." I say simply and Taylor nods. I can tell he feels like something is up, but he doesn't ask. He kisses me goodnight and then I am alone in my room. I dig through my suitcase and there it is.
The very first shirt Cameron ever let me have. it was a shirt that simply said 'real.' but it was supposed to explain how our love was. It was an old t shirt he had and so he gave it to me. I hold it in my hands and bury my face into it. It still has a hint of his cologne, and that makes me cry a little bit more.
