Camille
Josiah had fallen asleep next to me, or at least I think he was asleep. His arms were wrapped around me and I was snuggled up to his chest. We didn't have sex if that's what you're wondering, just a bit of messing around.
I didn't even know what I was doing, I have a freaking boyfriend for fucks sake and here I am in another guys arms. This wasn't right and I had to put a stop to this now, and I needed to talk to the girls. They always knew what to do.
I try to get out of Josiah's arms but he pulls me right back to him. No matter what I did his hands held on to my waist. I turned to face him and he was asleep, he was really cute too. But he was such an asshole and I hated him.
I attempt one more time to escape Josiah's embrace and fail. "Josiah." I whisper. He doesn't respond and continues sleeping, I try to pry his hands apart to get through but they don't budge. In my final attempt I climb out from under and escape successfully. I grab my phone and head to the bathroom to shower.
It was around 3:38 by the time I got out and was dressed for the day. I put my hair in a ponytail and wore a plain t-shirt I found in a drawer and my jeans.
I was afraid for Josiah to wake up, things were either going to be weird or awkward. I watched tv most of the day until Josiah woke up. He walked into the living room casually without a shirt. He walked past me toward the kitchen and made himself a sandwich before sitting on the couch.
I didn't say anything to him, he didn't say anything to me. We both just sat there watching tv, only I wasn't watching. I was too busy thinking about the tension in the room, but it felt like it was only coming from me. He seemed completely unbothered by my presence.
After eating his sandwich he got up and left again to the bedroom. I decided to just ignore him until he brought it up or something.
About 2 hours went by and he hadn't said anything to me. He stayed in the bedroom and I stayed in the living room. When he finally came out he started preparing dinner. "Do you need help?" I ask.
"No."
I frown, he's back to his distant self.
When dinner was served I grabbed a plate and sat across from him at the small table. "So we're just not going to talk?" I ask.
"It was a mistake." He says coldly. Ouch, that kind of hurt but what did I expect? I was mad at him though, he always does this. He'll just kiss me then avoid me like who the hell does that?
I nod, "You're right, it was a mistake. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop kissing me though and then running and hiding like a coward."
He glares at me, "Coward? I'm the coward?" I nod and continue eating my spaghetti. "You're the one who kissed me by the way."
I put my fork down and look at him, "You kissed me first Josiah don't forget that. I have a boyfriend." His eyes darken and he scoffs angrily, "Yeah what a great girlfriend you are."
"I was a great girlfriend until you came into the picture and ruined everything! Just leave me alone Josiah okay?" I say before walking away from the table. I wasn't even hungry anymore, I was just mad. I couldn't even stand to be in the same room with him at the moment.

The whole time we were in the house after that we didn't talk to each other. We stayed about 3 days before we headed back to our homes. He dropped me off at my apartment and I left without a good bye for the second time.
When I entered the apartment I was greeted by the girls. When I left I told them I had some business things to take care of across town and they believed it. I wasn't sure if I should tell them what happened with Josiah and I even though I really needed to get it off my chest.
"Camille?" Rosa calls from the bedroom. "Yes?"
"You have some explaining to do." She says with a t-shirt in her hand and a hand on her hip. She was holding one of the t-shirts I wore when I was staying with Josiah. In fact it was his shirt. I chuckled nervously, "What do you mean?"
"We both know this isn't Tyler's shirt, he can't afford this."
I chuckle again, "What do you mean? It's just a white t-shirt."
She shows me the tag, "A Michael Kors white t-shirt. This shit is literally $50." Mitchie walks into the room, "What's going on?"
"It's okay if you don't want to tell me who, but are you still cheating on Tyler?" I sigh, "It was a mistake!"
"Wait again?" Mitchie asks. I nod, "Yes he was just there standing in front of me shirtless and then he came down and I kissed him! And then later I stormed off and he kissed me again!"
The girls are quiet for a moment. "Is he a good kisser?" Mitchie asks. I nod, "A really good kisser."
"Do you even still like Tyler?" Rosa asks. "I'm not sure anymore."
"Is this guy who you were with this weekend?" I nod shamefully. "Babe do you like this guy?" She asks.
"I mean, I don't know. I like kissing him, but he makes me so mad."
"I think you should break up with Tyler, since you're not sure about him anymore and you're pretty caught up with this new guy." I sigh, "I mean I guess you're right, gosh why do I have to be such a whore?"
Mitchie laughs, "You're not a whore Cammie. Now tell us about this guy, how hot is he?"
I smile, "He's really hot, and he's pretty tall. He has tattoos on his chest and arms." I frown, "But he's such an asshole and I hate him."
Rosa chuckles, "He sounds perfect for you."
"No he isn't, I don't like him guys."
They both give me a knowing look, but they're wrong. I don't like Josiah he's just a good looking good kisser. Rosa picks up Josiah's shirt again, "He must be pretty rich to be buying white t-shirts for $50." I shrug, "I guess he's kind of rich."
Mitchie gasps, "Did you find yourself a sugar daddy?" I laugh and shake my head, "Of course not. I'm heading to bed guys." They nod as I walk into my bedroom.

The next morning I walk into work, ready to break things off with Tyler. I have to do it, I can't keep dating him. Especially after cheating on him like twice, it's obvious Tyler and I just weren't meant for each other. We were growing apart and it was time to end things.
When I enter the office Tyler looks up at me with a wide smile. "Hey babe." He says getting up and kissing me a kiss on the cheek. "Hey." I greet back with a small smile.
"I wanted to talk to you. Can you come with me?" He asks. I nod and follow him to the back room. "So I know Ive been really busy lately and we haven't had any time together, so I wanted to make it up to you. I got us dinner reservations at Tonios downtown, can I meet you there after work?"
"Uhh, yeah sure. I'll just go home and change first." He smiles, "Great, I'll see you then." He gives me a kiss on the cheek before waking out. I groan and hit my head on a nearby wall, "Idiot."
Susan walks by with a confused look on her face, "Uh you okay there hun?" I look up and give her a small smile, "Oh yeah I'm fine."
She nods clearly unconvinced and walks back to her desk.
After work ends I head back to the apartment to get dressed for dinner with Tyler. "You didn't break up with him?" Rosa asks as I pick out an outfit. "At that moment I couldn't! I will at dinner though."
"I wish you the very best of luck." Mitchie says as she helps me find something to wear.
Rosa picks up a brown jacket and black camisole. "Ooh wear this."
Mitchie pulls out a pair of ripped black jeans, "With this."
I take the clothes from them, "Thanks guys, let me quickly get ready." I get inside the closet and quickly put on my clothes. I get in front of the mirror and fix my hair and put on some mascara.
"Okay guys I'm out." I call out to the girls as I open the front door. They yell out their goodbyes and good lucks as I leave the apartment. When I get outside I hail a cab to take me too the restaurant I'm meeting Tyler at.
When I get into the restaurant Tyler is already seated waiting for me. He waves when he sees me and give him a small wave back as I walk over. "You look stunning, as usual." Tyler says giving me a kiss on the cheek. I blush, "Thanks you don't look bad yourself."
He chuckles, "Thanks." We take a seat at our table and he begins talking. "I'm really sorry if you think I've been ignoring you this whole time. I didn't mean to make you feel that way, we're okay though right?"
"Um actually I kind of need to talk to you about-" He cuts in quickly, "Wait before you say anything, I got you something." He pulls out another velvet box. "What is this?" He pushes the box toward me, "Open it."
I sigh, "Tyler I can't-" He shushes me, "It's okay open it."
I open the box and inside is a beautiful necklace with my name written in cursive on it. It was diamond encrusted and it was extremely shiny. My eyes widened, "Tyler how could you afford this?"
He shrugs, "When it comes to you I don't see a price tag. I saw the necklace and I knew you needed it."
I look up at him, "Tyler I don't know what to say." He shakes his head, "The look on your face says enough."
The waiter comes by with or food and places it in front of us. We thank him as he walks away and we begin eating.
"You haven't said anything all dinner, is everything okay?" He asks after we finish our meal. I shake my head slowly and look down, "What's wrong Cam? Do you not like the necklace?"
I tear runs down my cheek as I shake my head, "I can't accept this."
"Why not? Don't worry about the price I can handle it." I shake my head again, "Tyler I cheated on you."
He freezes for a moment, "What?"
The tears begin to really fall as I begin talking, "I cheated on you." I whisper.
"When?" He asks calmly.
"While I was away."
He lets out a sigh, "Was it the same guy from last time?" I nod shamefully.
"Who is he?"
"He's just this guy that's all."
Tyler takes back the necklace, "I need some time to think about this." I nod and wipe my tears away as he walks away.
I paid our bill before leaving the restaurant, I was gonna hail a cab but I really just felt like walking. I knew that would be a stupid idea since I had some people still after me but I didn't care at the moment.
I was still pretty far from the apartment when a car pulled up next to me. I began walking faster but the car still followed me. The windows roll down and a voice calls out to me. "Are you an idiot?" The voice asks. I recognize it as Josiah's and let out a small breath of relief.
"No." I said quietly. He sighs before unlocking his car and motioning for me to get in. I get inside the passengers seat and shut the door behind me. "Are you crazy? There is a crazy man after you and you're out here strolling the streets alone at 10:00 at night!"
I sit back in my seat and sigh, "I don't feel like being yelled at by you, can you just take me home?"
He looks at me and notices the tear stains on my cheeks. "You've been crying?"
I shrug, "Why do you care? Can you just get me home?"
He doesn't say anything as he gets back on the road and drives me toward me apartment. "Thanks for the ride." I say quietly as I open the door. He nods, "No problem." I get out of the car and head up to my apartment building.
"How'd it go?" Rosa asks when I enter the room. I shrug, "It was fine I guess. He didn't yell at me." The girls give me a hug, "You'll be okay."
I nod and toss my purse into the couch and take a seat. "Who was that that dropped you off?" Mitchie asks.
"Oh just a friend."
"Your 'just a friend' has quite an expensive car. Was that your mystery sugar daddy?"
I chuckle at her, "I'm going to bed guys." Rosa gasps, "She didn't deny it! You went to see him after breaking up with Tyler?"
I shake my head, "He saw me walking and gave me a ride home."
"Mhm."
I roll my eyes playfully, "I'm going to bed guys."
They call out their good nights and I fall into a good night sleep.
