I woke up with a sleeping Tyla next to me. I needed to get out of here and clear my head. I pulled on my gym gear and grabbed a bottle of water. As I came down the steps I saw Jay getting ready to go for a run. We agreed to go together. I was kinda glad I had a running buddy. I like to run but I wasn't sure about the running around random cities alone situation. And I'm guessing if Austin found out I'd gone alone he would freak.
"Penny for your thoughts?" he asks softly as we take a breather.
"Sorry I have a million things going through my head right now" I smile sheepishly at him.
"One of those Austin perhaps?" he smiles.
"Is it that obvious?" I sigh, wondering if everyone already knows. Have we not been discreet?
"No but I can tell by the way he looks at you. I've know that guy a long time and I've never seen him look at a girl like he looks at you" he sits down on a nearby bench and taps for me to sit down next to him.
"Really?" I plop myself down next to him with a thud.
"Really, he's smitten. But can you just do me a favour if you don't like him like that, can you let him down gently? He's a sensitive soul" he rubs my shoulder reassuringly.
"I do like him, I'm just scared. That I like him more than he likes me and that I'm going to throw away my friendship with Gabby for Austin to throw me away when someone better comes along" I hang my head in my hands.
"I very much doubt that's going to happen. He looks like he's going through the motions with Gabby, like he does with most of his past girlfriends. But you. He's different with you" he puts his arm around me and gives my shoulder a squeeze. "Plus, surely if Gabby realised how you too felt about each other and she's a true friend, she would support you"
"Yeah I'm not too sure about that. Why did everything have to get so complicated?" I pout.
"I know one thing that's not complicated, running. Let's do this" he stands up and pulls me to my feet.

When I get back to the bus everyone is up and chilling in the seating area. They all look over as I climb the stairs.
"Damn, Tyla I still don't get how you hooked up with Camila. She's way out of your league" Bobby pulls me in for a side hug. "How do you smell so good when your sweaty" he takes a deep smell at the crease of my neck, causing goosebumps to appear all over my body and my nipples start to harden. The slightest touch from the opposite sex was sending my body into overdrive at the moment. I could feel his hot breath on my neck and his woody based aftershave filled my nostrils. I licked my lips.
"I'm going to shower" I said quickly. Tyla didn't acknowledge my statement but Swae's eyes followed me as I manouvered past all the lounging bodies.

I wanted to see Camila so I headed off to see if the other bus was up. As I walked down the steps I saw her and Jay chatting obviously just been for a run. Before I could make a move to follow her on the bus Jay grabbed my arm and lead me away. I allowed him to march me past my bus and to a small seating area. I pulled out a cigarette and lit it knowing that he obviously had either advice or a lecture to give me.
I settled down on a bench as Jay started to talk "Austin your playing a dangerous game man. You need to figure out what you want. They are both going to move on without you if you dont deside soon"
"Has Camila said something?"
"We spoke this morning, she likes you, you like her obviously. What's the issue? Why are you still with Gabby?"
I take a drag of my cigarette and blow the smoke upwards "I want to call it quits with Gabby but Cam won't let me. She's concerned about her friendship, I think it's bollocks. Gabbys not that good of a friend anyway"
"Well someones going to get hurt anyway. I just hope it's not you" he slaps my back as he gets up "Right I'm going to get a shower, you go stare at Tyla's girl" he chuckles as he walks away.
I finish my cigarette before walking to her bus. He was right I was going to see her, not the guys. They where just a good distraction. They cheered as I walked up the stairs, I smiled brightly at them but noticed Cam wasnt sat there. She must be in the shower after her run. That made me think back to me terrorising her in her own shower. The way her body curved perfectly against mine. Remembering the day I just had to touch her, pulling her wet body against my clothed one then shortly after I heard her playing with herself. I wanted to rush back in and fuck her then and there.
I sat down quickly pulling a cushion over my lap as I could feel my arousal at the thought of her making my dick protrude out. I rearranged myself and got involved in the conversation until she appeared freshly showered. Her long dark hair hung wet down one side of her face and she was wearing army green sweatpants and a matching cropped sweater. She looked hot. She froze as she saw me sat there. Looking around frantically to see if anyone had clocked her reaction. When she was satisfied no one had she smiled shyly at me and put her head down. She sits down in between Tyla and Swae and pulls her laptop onto her lap.
"So Camila?" she looks up to acknowledge Bobbie talking to her "Are you and Tyla exclusive or have we all got a chance to impress you?" I felt my temper brewing, my nostrils flaring. They all better back the fuck off.
