caught the container and put it on the table. She couldn’t reach the syrup in the cabinet so she eyeballed me until I retrieved it. And when I held on to it just a little too long trying to get her to look at me, the green softened in her eyes.
“I was named after Camden Yards in Baltimore because my father pitched his first no hitter there.” She spoke very fast. “Landry is after Tom Landry the old Dallas Cowboy head coach because he was a ‘class act.’” She used her two fingers to throw quotes in the air. “I’m not a boy. I have a vagina and I would have preferred to be named after something remotely feminine. Biggs is my father’s last name and I’d prefer not to tell you why I don’t like that name. So…Will as in Will-i-am?” she asked with her hand resting on her hip. She was a fiery little thing.
I stood, towering over her tiny frame, her strawberry blonde curls framing perfectly around her face. “No, it’s Will as in Prince of Wales. Your father was Dave Biggs?”
Kate nodded as Cam got out the powdered sugar, slammed it down on the table and a cloud of dust poofed up spraying Kate in the face.
“You are a bitch!” she yelled joking and bent forward laughing. Cam laughed too and for some unknown reason this brought tremendous joy to me.
Then Kate picked up a handful of the white powder and threw it at Cam. Suddenly, I got a face full from Cam. Her mouth formed an O because I don’t think she meant to throw so much. Not one to let a fight go un-fought…I too grabbed a handful and slowly walked toward Cam. Half her face was white and the powder streaked her hair. She looked…deliciously fuckable.
She held up one finger trying to ward me off and an ornery smile spread slowly across my face. “For the record, Kate gets laid enough for both of us,” she declared.
I liked that this quiet girl stood her ground with Kate. No matter how much I wanted to douse her with this handful of sugar, I didn’t want to break our eye contact, and me throwing it would force her eyes to close.
Unexpectedly, Kate spun me around and said, “Yes Kate does like to get laid and this sugar all over your body is just the thing to feed me for breakfast.”
Wait! She yanked me toward the bedroom. Before she could close the door, I glanced at Cam, whose eyes followed me, but her smile was now gone.
Chapter 3—Camden
I quietly closed my bedroom door and lay back on my bed. I couldn’t be angry with Kate she had found him first. But this was the first time since…that…that I’d wanted someone to touch me. Panting as I lay there, I smiled. I finally wanted someone again and this thrilled me. Even if I knew he was with her right now… Even if I knew he would never be mine.
Closing my eyes, I allowed myself to feel the jealousy flow through me. The very thought of him going down on her or her on him or them having sex nearly sent me over the edge of screaming out loud for them to stop. WE had a moment when he handed me the syrup and when he was getting ready to throw the powdered sugar at me. It wasn’t much…but when his gorgeous blue eyes stared at me before the door closed, I knew there was something. So I made myself think about his tall, muscular frame. And I made myself think about the way his brown hair was short and neat and trimmed in the back but a little longer and sloppier on top. And I made myself think about what it would feel like to have this guy touch me in a way I hadn’t been touched in so long…
An entire week had passed and Kate hadn’t mentioned Will again. I think he was a thing of the past, though he lived vividly in my mind. Kevin was Kate’s flavor of the week and last night they kept me awake. I was tired today from my lack of sleep. What ticked me off most at this point was when I used my little sex toy this week, I kept picturing Will’s freakishly hot face and body. Sadly, I didn’t know if I’d ever see him again. I’m
