-“Cam”
-“Yes Ms. Miller” My tone was seductive.
-“We shouldn’t” I cleared my throat and pulled away.
-“We shouldn’t what?” I said smirking and she looked at me dumbfounded.
-“Not funny Cam, I’m not someone you can just mess with for your own fun and enjoyment” She seemed… hurt?
-“I was just joking, I know what was about to happen and I know that we shouldn’t, I wouldn’t mess with you for fun”
-“You wouldn’t? Because there’s a rumor going around that you are quite a player”
-“I wouldn’t, I’m not that type of person, I don’t like hurting others, the only reason this rumor exists is because I only do hook-ups, I don’t date”
-“Oh, well, it looks like we have something in common, why don’t you date?”
-“I haven’t found anyone interested in dating, plus I’m not exactly relationship material.”
-“Why would you say that?”
-“Because, I don’t trust easily and I don’t open up, I don’t express my feelings and I’m not comfortable talking about my past”
-“Yeah, I can see how these can cause issues in a relationship, but you are judging yourself too harshly, maybe you will be able to do all these with the right person”
-“I doubt it, there was a girl I really liked last year and I tried approaching her but I couldn’t bring myself to talk to her about anything”
-“But you opened up to me” She raised her eyebrows and I gave her a half smile.
-“I don’t know, it’s different with you, you are understanding and you made me feel like I could trust you” the conversation was getting heavy “Plus you are hot and I’m a simp for pretty ladies” I joked winking, to lighten the mood, she laughed.
-“Well, thank you for boosting my ego”
-“I didn’t think it needed any more boosting” She pretended to be offended.
-“I appreciate your kind words Ms. Thompson” she mocked me
-“Oh Ms. Miller, they were anything but kind” I said seductively and she blushed, at this point we were boldly flirting with each other, or at least I thought so.
I removed the ice from my hand and put the splint back on, she helped me tighten the straps, our fingers brushed.
-“I like your bracelet” I told her, she had a plain silver bracelet on her wrist, she looked at it and then at me.
-“Thank you” she said in a low tone.
-“What’s wrong?”
-“It was a gift from my ex” she mumbled
-“I know it’s a personal question, but what happened between you two?” She looked down.
-“I don’t want to talk about it Cam” her eyes were glossy and I hugged her.
-“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked” she sniffled and I hugged her tighter. “I have to take a shower” I said and pulled away.
-“Need help?” She smirked and I laughed.
-“I wasn’t expecting that from you Ms. Miller”
-“You can use my first name when we are out of school”
-“Oh, ok” I said surprised and turned to go to the bathroom, I tried pulling the hoodie off on my own but couldn’t, so I went back to the living room.
