Cheated (Mr. Control Freak)

VIII. YOU'VE GOT COJONES

"We're moving to Miami." Cam stated bluntly.

I should be happy for them. I am happy for them, but at the same time, my best friends are leaving me.

They explained to me that Cameron got a promotion that required him to move and Natasha managed to get herself transferred.

Max had left after the big reveal, saying that he'd give us some privacy.

"When?" I asked, fearing the answer.

"A couple days." Natasha answered in a small voice.

"I remember when I first met you Cam." I sighed, reminiscing.

The past few days we were basically inseparable, I was trying to squeeze in as much time as I could before their departure. We were headed to the airport and I was dreading the final goodbye.

"Yeah, it was at an amusement park and you were looking like hell." Cam said smiling, also recalling the memory.

"In my defense I was a 17 year old girl going through a break up with who I thought was my soul mate." I defended. "Anyways your bitch ass niece went and stole my lollipop and ate it right in front of me."

I frowned remembering how happy the girl looked licking my lollipop.

"She was 4! Anyways you were pretty mad and blew up on me, but I could barely understand the words coming out of your mouth. But when my eyes met yours..."

"It was love at first sight." We joked.

Cam and I laughed when we saw Natasha glaring at us through the rear view mirror.

"When we first met, I hated you." Natasha admitted.

"Trust me Nat, I knew by the way you'd glare at me when you thought I wasn't looking."

I remember once she gave me a pie chock full of laxatives. I'm was on the toilet all night, but joke's on her because I lost 3 pounds.

"Cause you were constantly flirting with him!"

"I was not! And even if I was, it was totally fair game cause you guys weren't together back then. If I recall correctly, it was me who set you guys up in the first instance."

"Fine. But you're still a whore." She gave in as we pulled up to the parking gate where I paid and received my ticket.

"Sure, remember what you did in Tijuana? I don't think Cam wow ld be very happy if he found out that you--"

"Oh my god Val shut the fuck up!" She pleaded.

I have this hoe in check.

"I wanna know what happened in Tijuana." Cameron said.

I found a good parking space and we walked into the terminal. For the hour we sat there, waiting, it was mostly silent. We stayed there, just enjoying each other's company and I people watched.

When they called for the New York to Miami flight Cameron and Natasha were on, we stood wordlessly and shared a group hug.

"I'm really gonna miss you Val." Cameron admitted first, his voice was muffled against Natasha's shirt.

By the quiet sniffles I heard, I knew Nat was crying, "So much."

After a while, we pulled away and Natasha did  her best to dry her tears.

"Ok you guys call me when you get there. Nat, watch Cam and make sure he stays away from tree nuts and eggs. Cam, make sure she calls her mom Sunday's at 6 and don't let her watch the real housewives of New Jersey, and don't forget about movie night, and only buy kettle corn because we know it's better and--"
