False allies

Chapter 19

Cameron looked at his phone with a shocked expression on his face. Once more, Lily and Aaron were making their way back to their respective apartments. Not only did she avoid him the entire time they were there, but she also refused to shake his hand when they left. Not only had she avoided him the entire time, but she also avoided shaking his hand. On the inside of him, rage and melancholy fought each other for control.

"Caaam."

Regrettably, rage won out in the end. When he turned back, he noticed Courtney coming towards him in a stumbling way, with her hair curls falling out and her makeup smudged from sweat. She encircled him with her arms while smiling goofily and holding on to him tightly.

"Will you drive me home?" She chuckled to herself as she leaned closer to him.

The thing that he desired to do the most was to break up with her and tell her to "f**k off." Because he was afraid that she would be used inappropriately if he brought her to his house, he decided against doing so. As they made their way out of Medusa's lair, he supported her with one arm and led the way. A few moments later, after he had called for an Uber, another inebriated group came to take advantage of his predicament by picking him up.

It was physically hard for her to resist the desire to touch him. She initially attempted to kiss him and caressed his chest, but he rebuffed her advances, at which point she eventually reached down and grabbed hold of his privates. After giving her an angry look, he swatted her hand away after giving her the evil eye. He erroneously saw her deformed expression as a deliberate attempt at a sultry pout. It wasn't accomplishing what it needed to.

Courtney had to be dragged out of the backseat by Cameron, who first thanked the Uber driver and then paid him. It seemed to him that she was either trying to dissuade him from continuing their relationship or was engaging in a game that he was not aware of.

I don't even know what to say at this point! It is imperative that you bring me along with you.

She eventually allowed her legs to become loose and leaned heavily on him throughout the conversation. He rolled his eyes before grabbing her in his arms like a bride.

Why do you drink alcohol if you know your body can't handle it in this amount?

I adore a nice shot since they have such a satisfying flavour.

She immediately started giggling again and wrapped her arms around his neck as she did so. She gave him a ferocious kiss, burying her face in his neck as she did so.

Courtney, I want you to stop what you're doing right now. His tone made it clear that he was annoyed.

He tried to encourage her to move by swiping her chin with his hand, but she was having none of it. He entered the building while carrying her into the elevator. The sensation of her sucking on his neck caused him to flinch in disgust.

To paraphrase: If you don't stop doing that, I'm going to have to drop you.

Essentially, "You're no fun!" The young lady supported her head with her hand on his shoulder. Is there a chance that we'll make it on time?

"Yea."

Cameron, who had been looking forward to getting rid of her, carried her down the hallway. After he had set her down, she struggled to get to her feet and then looked in the direction of the exit in a bewildered manner.

"You're staring at my house right now."

"Yea."

She proceeded to turn the key while keeping a sardonic smirk on her face.

We've never done it in my bed before, so let me start off by saying, "We haven't."

That is not going to be something that we engage in. His rage began to boil over, and he turned on the other foot.

"Wha-Cam!" is the exclamation that follows.

Let's all say it together: "Hello, my name is Cameron." He never even attempted to ease up.

As she continued to pursue him, she eventually caught up with him and grabbed his wrist. He was able to observe that she no longer stuttered and that she was no longer unable to walk normally.

To phrase it another way, the question is, "Where are you going?" She pouted and then attempted to rest her breasts on his arm while ever-so-slightly repositioning his arm behind his back.

"I'm done, as I've stated to you numerous times before. I'm done with banging you.

"At my place, Lily is unable to pick up on what we are saying.

saying, "You don't get it!" It's finished! Your outdated conceptions of who or what we once were regarding you are no longer relevant.

She did so while maintaining a menacing expression on her face and releasing her grip on his arm.

The first few words of the text message said, "Don't text me."

"I won't." After a short break, he got back up and continued his walk.

"I swore to it!"

"Good! "So do I."

After stepping into the elevator, he began the process of going down one level. He exhaled deeply before shaking his head in disgust. I have no doubt that Jaxon and the female he brought back had a wonderful time together. Cameron was finally able to reach the door to his flat, fumbled with the lock, and then quietly shut the door.

He took off his shoes and combed his hands over his hair before doing so. That evening, he couldn't get Lily out of his mind at all. Everything was made better by her. He couldn't help but think back to the very first evening he had spent with his current girlfriend, when all he wanted to do was curl up next to her and gaze into her eyes. There was only one way for him to find out whether or not she would allow it, and that was to ask her directly.

He was able to enter her bedroom easily because the door was left slightly ajar. He held out hope that she had moved on and forgotten all about him. Or it's possible that she just forgot to close it after opening it. In every instance, he proceeded to enter the hidden area.

"Lily?" His speech had a gentle inflection to it.

He approached her bed while she was resting, but he was unable to make out anything in the darkness. He looked for her under the covers by feeling around with his hands. This expectation, along with the realisation that he would never even come close to touching her, was slowly but surely killing him.

When he got back there, he found that nobody was sleeping in his bed. The rate at which his heart beat quickened. He hurried into his bedroom and flipped on the lamp, almost expecting to see her huddled up on his bed like he had done so many times in the past.

Similar to hers, his was devoid of anything.

After that, he went to get his phone out of his pocket. He has not received any word from Lily, and the message that Aaron left him continues to play through his thoughts. According to what he said, "I'm taking her back." He was under the impression that he understood exactly where he was headed with it.

It is very obvious that he was making a reference to himself.
