The Blindside of Love (Camren) Altern Versión

Chapter 24

"You seem awfully chipper this morning," Dinah commented, watching as her roommate stepped into the kitchen wearing a strange and unusual grin on her face.

"The chat with your Dad go well?"

Camila paused, then smiled.

"Oh yes. My chat with my Dad went beautifully." She leaned down to kiss Dinah's cheek. "Did you leave any coffee for me."

Fair brows rose upward. "Well yeah," she answered, "but I don't think caffeine is really the way to go for you this morning."

Camila chuckled and poured herself a cup. "So, I'm in a good mood today."

"Clearly," Dinah agreed, half turning in her chair. "Any particular reason?"

Camila considered the question as she punched numbers in the microwave.

"Actually, I'm not sure," she replied. "I guess I just like being single."

"I'll drink to that." Dinah held up her own cup of coffee before taking a sip. "So what are you doing today?"

Camila yawned before answering. "Studying," she explained regretfully. But she instantly smiled as the beeping from the microwave announced that her caffeine fix was ready. "Ah, heaven." She pulled out a chair and sat down, feeling refreshed and happy.

"So what did Daddy dearest have to say?" Dinah wondered, studying her roommate intently. She kept her gaze fixed on Camila , though her view was momentarily eclipsed by the cup at her lips.

Camila shrugged. "He told me that he really misses me. And that he hopes I can take a trip down to see him before the summer ends. And that he has someone he wants me to meet. A new lady friend, I would assume." She paused to drink her coffee. "That's about it."

"But you were online all night. I could hear you typing."

Camila obviously hadn't been expecting that comment because she froze momentarily, coffee cup midway to her lips. Then she relaxed and sat back.

"I was chatting with Laura," she admitted.

It was obvious to Dinah that Camila wasn't aware of the ridiculous grin on her face.

"Laura ," she repeated. "The cyber lesbian?"

"The one and only," Camila confirmed.

"And praytell, what did cyber lesbian Laura  have to say?" Dinah inquired curiously, leaning forward with her elbows on the table.

Camila just shrugged. "We just talked about random stuff," she answered casually. "And stop calling her that."

Her dark brows narrowed slightly. "What? What is this look you're giving me?"

Dinah leaned back in her chair and shook her head. "I know what this is," she explained. "I took Psych in high school."

It was Camila's turn to look interested.

"Won't you please share your analysis with me, Dr. Radlin?"

"You are doing that thing," Dinah said, pointing an accusing finger at Camila . "You know, where like ...you decide to switch teams for a while."

Camila rolled her eyes and stood, taking her cup of coffee with her. "How perceptive," she replied in mock surprise. "And articulate!"

Dinah stood as well, not quite prepaired to relinquish the topic. "Nathan hurt you so you're swearing off men! That's what you're doing. You're going to break that poor lesbian's heart!"
