Kennedy whips his head to look at me. Concern etched deep into his features. His face is really handsome, if I haven't mentioned it before.
"Is something wrong Mimosa?"
I smile at him through gritted teeth.
"Just hungry."
"The food is here." He says smiling at me, his pearly whites on full display.
I try to look excited. I felt something was trying to crawl it's way out of my uterus.
How on earth did I forget that it was today? I usually never forget. Actually I do forget, all the time, but that's why my phone reminds me, and I always ignored the reminders. And now I was going to suffer for it, I always took pain relief the day before it came, or else I would pay the price.
The waiter set the food in front of me. The food I ordered was basically noodles, and it was even better than theirs, at least in my opinion.
"We hitting the club now or?" Cam asked after his food was finished.
I want to interrupt before Kennedy agreed, I couldn't let myself be dragged to the club whilst something dug free from my uterus lining.
"Actually, can we not do club this year? I have to do Lisa's resumé before midnight." My heart swelled, he remembered, and he would rather hang out with me instead of going to
Cam's face fell.
"We always do clubs to end the day."
"I'm saying we have to skip this one day. I have something important to do, and I'm sorry that I have to skip, but it's really important." Kennedy still had his reasoning voice on, he was calm, no ill intention detected.
"Even more important than me?"
Oh hell no.
"Okay enough, Cam I know this day is very important to you, I understand, completely, but he apologized, he has to help me get a job, you're celebrating the success of yours, we stayed with till this time didn't we? He isn't skipping because I'm more important, he is skipping because it's a once in a lifetime opportunity for me, if I miss it, it's gone, over. It's not fair if you use your friendship to blackmail him."
Kennedy stares at me without blinking. I realize just then that it wasn't my place to tell him off, but I will be blaming it on my period. Not me.
Cam doesn't say anything, he just walks out of the restaurant. I fear he was going to drive away with the car and leave us stranded.
"I'm sorry I blew off on him like that, he is your very best friend and I wasn't supposed to poke my head into your relationship, especially not like that." I apologize quickly.
"Some times best friends do go out of line too, and they need someone to put them in place. Cam can be very petty sometimes, I tend to overlook it, I didn't know it would affect you or I would have said something sooner."
"I'm still very sorry, it was between the both of you.";
He chuckles before placing a kiss on my head,
"It's okay, it's fine."
"What are the chances he drove off and left us here?"
"None actually, Cam is petty, but not that petty."
He stood up holding my hand to lift me up but I sit still. Praying I hadn't ruined my new jump suit with blood.
I stand up and walk out of the restaurant, we went to pay but Cam had paid for it, true to his words. He wasn't so petty that he would leave without paying. I instantly felt bad for all the things I had said.
He was standing outside when we got there, resting on the car was his lean frame. The guilt lump that sat heavily in my chest felt too big to swallow.
"Hey Cam, I am sorry I didn't mean to blow off like that." I apologize quickly.
"It's me who should be sorry, I'm really sorry Kennedy, I know it was wrong of me to hang the importance of our friendship over what we were saying."
Once again, he was apologizing to just Kennedy. But then again, he didn't offend me in particular, so I understand him. Kinda..
"It's fine, we cool."
Cam beamed once more. He was his usual playful self again. At least they weren't fighting because of me.
"It's past ten, let's hurry up." Cam says before entering the car.
I felt a sharp pain erupt in the bottom of my abdomen again. It was only going to get harder to conceal now.
I close my eyes throughout the ride back home, I willed myself not to stain his car seats. It would be embarrassing.
"Are you okay Lisa?" Kennedy whispered.
I nod, at this point I'm barely able to form words.
"You don't seem fine to me. Tell me, what's wrong?" Kennedy cupped my face in his palm gently.
I try to smile but it comes out as a grimace. It hit me, I didn't have any pads or tampons on me, I didn't anticipate it so I didn't plan for it, and if we don't get some now, I won't be able to come back out of the house.
"It's..my time of the month." I mumble.
Kennedy stared at me in confusion for a second before it hit him, his eyes widen.
"Oh shit, now?"
I nod shyly. I wished the earth would open up and swallow me whole.
"Are you in pain? Do you need me to get anything for you? You don't have anything to use do you?"
His eyes roamed my face as he fired the questions.
"No."
"Why didn't you say something earlier? You must be in so much pain. Wait a second." He tells me softly.
"Cam, please stop at the nearest convenience store, we need to get somethings for Lisa."
I was certain Cam wanted to argue, but he couldn't piss Kennedy off two times in a night.
He parked in front of the convenience store.
"Wait right here for me okay? I'll be back." Kennedy says.
"Do you know what you have to buy?" I ask because I needed to know if I could trust him to get everything correctly.
"They have workers in there, if necessary, I will buy the entire aisle, at least one can help you."
"Let me come with."
"Relax, I got this. Besides, you're in pain. I'll be back before you even know it." He kissed my forehead just before he leaves.
My heart is a puddle in front of me. God, this man was addictive. I couldn't wait till I was a shivering mess in his hand again.
Like a lightening bolt. It hit me.
I was on my period.
