Cameron

"You have a major problem on your hands, Cam." Booboo said to me as we sat in my dorm room, playing video games.

"I don't think so." I said back. "There's no way, at least not the both of them."

"Anyone can see that it's the both of them." he said back to me.

"How?" I questioned. "China and I are already fucking around and have been since we were 16. We know where we stand to each other already. It's one of those weird fine prints in the best friend contract, if you so happen to take it there. If you get what I'm saying."

"I don't, please explain." he said, sitting up from the sofa.

"It's like a booty call sort of thing..." I continued. "The whole, I'll be there when you need me, except we don't cut each other off after and we keep doing it.."

"You ever thought that maybe you like her dude?" he asked. "Maybe even love her?"

"I mean yeah.." I said. "But China and I would never happen. We're good where we're at. Plus, I'm a firm believer that it's just lust more than anything. I find her sexy, she finds me sexy, why not?"

"Are you fucking Dove, too?" he asked. I grinned slightly at the question. Dove and I had a special relationship. A relationship that would make you think we were seeing each other and fucking, sort of like China and I's, but on a lesser level. Would I be down to smash Dove if we hadn't formed such a tight friendship and limited it to just that? Yeah, I don't see why not. She's good looking.

"No." I said, smirking. "Friend zoned her."

"She doesn't seem to want to friend zone you from what I see when I'm around you two." he said back. "The whole thing is just messy. The way they look at each other when they're both around you. The glares, the stank faces, all when you're not looking. They fight for your attention."

"And I'm not playing any single one of them." I said. "Like I said, in this group, I'm just fucking China. And I'm content with just fucking China."

"Fucking anyone else?" he asked.

"Outside of the group, yeah." I said, honestly. "You know that one chick in our bio lab? Brown hair, hazel eyes, just a little shorter than me?"

"Kristi?" his eyes widened.

"That's the one." I replied.

"Dude, you know her boyfriend is Callum right?" he asked.

"Callum Morley?" I asked, already know the answer. "Of course I know. I didn't seek her though, she sought me. Came up to me while I was in the cafeteria one day, working on a paper and we just started talking, flirting. She was pretty straight forward after that. Then we just started going at it."

"For how long?" he asked.

"Man you're on a roll with all these questions tonight." I laughed, setting my controller to the side.

"I'm sorry man." he said. "This is just interesting."

"It's been like a month or so since we started messing around." I answered, leaning back into my chair. "We don't fuck like that though. I'm usually too wrapped up in China."

"Sick." Booboo laughed. "You're sick."

"I'm really not." I said, defending myself. "I'm single. I can do what I want."

"Single with two girls in love with you and you're too blind to see." he said back. "And then you're fucking with a girl that has a whole dude. That, my friend, is sick." I shrugged my shoulders, biting my lip as I looked down at my phone and a message from China.

Chi🤪😍

Me
Missing you too ❤️ I'm jus hanging out w/ Booboo. What's up?

Chi🤪😍
Missing every inch of you..

Me
👀

Chi🤪😍
👀

Me
Swing by in like a hour? 🤔👅

Chi🤪😍
Yeah papas ❤️

"I know you are not setting up a vagina appointment right now." Booboo said. I just looked at him, smiling like an idiot. "Like I said before, sick." I was going to respond to him, when my phone buzzed again.

Dovey❤️😝
Heyyy. Wyd rn?

Me
Hanging out with Booboo. What's up?

Dovey❤️😝
Just wanted to see if you were free in about an hour, do some work, get something at the cafe. 😊

Me
I'm actually not free in about an hour, finishing up a paper. But if you're still free around 10, we can definitely hit up the grill and do some work?😛

Dovey❤️😝
Yeah, just text me when you're done and I'll make my way over there 🤪

Me
Sounds good

"Seriously, dude." Booboo said to me, shaking his head.

"What?" I questioned. "Dove just asked to hang out and do some work, is that so wrong?"

"You're a fucking idiot, Cam." he said. "You'll see it soon enough though and I hope you have the tools and words to dispute it."

"You're worked up and about to have me worked up over nothing." I said. "Dove don't want me, she doesn't want anyone since her and Thomas broke up. China has her eyes on who she has her eyes on."

"You." he jumped in.

"No." I immediately cut him off. "We're at a liberty to do whatever we want to do. I'm not looking to settle down right now anyways." Or at least I think I'm not. The thought of having a girlfriend again was nice, but on my own time. I didn't want to rush things again just for it to be another waste of my time and energy. When I love, I love hard and once you lose me, that's it. I was never a second chance type of guy and it stuck with me.

"If you say so." he simply said.

"I do say so." I said back. "But if you're so hell bent on thinking that the both of them want me, then I'll keep an eye out for it. I know the signs."

"Apparently not." he chuckled. "Or else we wouldn't be having this conversation."

"Yeah yeah yeah." I said, sighing and running my hands through my hair.

"Hey, I'm not sweating you." he said. "I'm just wanting you to be careful. I don't want there to be a divide between the girls. So do whatever you have to when ever something happens."

"Of course." I said.

Of course.
