I don't say anything else till we get to the house, in fact I pretend to be asleep. He gently woke me up. Picking me up bridal style for the millionth time today, I nuzzle his neck to keep up with appearances, I don't want to not pretend I was sleeping, otherwise he was going to see right through me and into my beating heart. I honestly don't know why it was beating that hard, it was just a guy that I was sleeping with that laughed beside me.
"Cam? Are you serious?" I hear his voice say. From this close I could feel the vibration of his voice. I love it.
"Kennedy? You're back? And who is that?" I hear Cam's voice say.
I don't know if I should be relieved or not that Cam was here, I did want to spend alone time with Kenny, see if I could release some of my stress through all the holes in my body. Vulgar I know, do I care? No.
But on the other hand I didn't want to be alone with him, he was going to see right through me. And know that it hadn't even been twenty four hours and it seemed my heart was doing things on its own.
"Do you know why they invented phones? So you could call someone before visiting them, see whether it was a good time or not."
You would have to be deaf not to hear the irritation in his voice, but it seemed Cam was deaf or he just didn't care about his best friend's irritation.
"Here I was thinking phones were invented so you don't watch porn on television."
Kennedy was standing inside the house now, from the sound of Cam's voice, he was in the kitchen.
"Oh, look it's Lisa!" Cam shrilled excitedly like Kennedy brought in a pet he really likes.
I want to bury myself in his body but I have to keep up appearances, I was sleeping.
"No way, don't tell me you kidnapped her?" Cam sounded like he was in disbelief.
I know Kenny rolled his eyes. He set me down gently on the sofa.
"I told you to woo her, not kidnap her. Kennedy you don't go around kidnapping girls because you love their bodies."
I almost laugh. Cam was like a child. A grown man child.
"I didn't kidnap her, and reduce your voice she's sleeping."
If he stopped talking I know I won't get caught. But if he says one more thing, I was going to be a blushing mess..
"Come help me bring a few things in, now that you're here, make yourself useful."
I peep and see Ken dragging Cam out by the collar.
I release my breath. I held it since he carried me, breathing in calculated breaths so I don't breath too much on him. I don't even know why I did that.
"You were out shopping with her? You never did that with me." Cam sounded so pained.
"Yeah I did."
"You know you guys are just having sex right?"
Kennedy doesn't answer for a bit, then I hear the rustling of the shopping bags, telling me he went outside and got more of the bags.
"Yes I know."
"Then why did you do it?"
I find myself inching forward, I want to know too. I strain my ears to catch everything he was going to say.
He doesn't answer, so I assume he went outside to get more bags, then he says.
"Cam she's right there, she can hear you."
I feel someone wave their arm in my face, I know it's Cam so I do act like I'm sleeping.
"She's sleeping."
"Go outside and bring in the rest of the bags, she even carried more bags than you, you can't claim tiredness."
Cam mumbles something before going outside. I felt the sofa dip beside my head.
"I carried you inside, will you still continue your charade?"
I know he is talking to me, he knew I wasn't sleeping??
"How did you know?"
He chuckles lightly, I see he was drinking water, the near empty can was in his hand.
"You never said anything about being tired, you just sleep. Okay, maybe it's exhaustion from work. But when I carried you, you sniffed me, and continued to do so."
I rubbed my eyes. So he knew. This was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me.
"Why didn't you say something?"
He looks at me,
"I wanted to see the end, but I got too eager I guess."
Cam walks in, huffing and puffing. He was carrying all the remaining bags, I guess he felt challenged by what Cam said.
"Oh now you are awake." He was annoyed. I would be too if I dressed like that, pants, suit and sparkling shoes, then my best friend asked me to carry a lot of stuff that belonged to the girl he was fucking.
"Thank you Cam. Why did you come though?"
Cam looked at his best friend with the intent of murder.
"Are you seriously asking me that? Didn't you miss me?"
Kennedy rubbed his face and sighed, I guess Cam was the dramatic one out of the two.
"Out with it Cam."
"I missed you, so I came. We have never spent two days apart from each other before."
My heart cooed, Cam was so sweet.
"And you dressed like that?" Kennedy was skeptical.
"Yeah, I attended the anniversary of one of the branches of my stores before coming." He waved his hand dismissively.
Kennedy smiled, I don't know why. But he knew something about Cam.
"You want Lisa to come along as well?"
Cam brightened.
"I guess she can." He eyed me as he spoke.
"Great, Lisa come let's go get dressed."
"Where are we going?" I say as I get up.
"It's one of Cam's restaurant's anniversary. It is a big deal around here, we have to celebrate. He knows every year I surprise him so he came fully dressed, pretending he didn't know."
I get up and turn to face Cam, he had the biggest smile on his face.
"You didn't forget?"
"Never have, never will. Although you might have ruined your surprise."
They had a very close knitted relationship. But it didn't make me feel like an outsider.
"Huh? What do you mean ruined?" He sounded like a child as he followed us upstairs.
"You don't expect a surprise. Stay out."
Cam frowned,
"I always see when you dress."
"Yeah not Lisa. Stay out."
Cam murmured how much he wanted to stay, Ken rubbed his face again. Something he did when irritated.
I laugh,
"You can stay, I'll change in the other room."
Kennedy looked pained, I almost remind him that we'll be sleeping together for three days. Then I see the smile on Cam's face. It made me think,
Something is definitely not right here.
