Chapter 13

Camila

“I hate you guys,” Colie says, pouting while simultaneously drooling over Mia’s and my lattes.

“Sorry, Cole. I know where you’re coming from,” Mia responds sympathetically, rubbing Colie’s six-month baby belly.

I take a long sip, letting out an exaggerated murmur of delight. “Mmm, this caramel latte is the best. So sweet, lots of caffeine, I might even get another.”

Colie swats at me, her bracelet jangling. “You suck, Camila.”

Laughing, I pat her hand. “So, ultrasound said girl. Is Grant beside himself?”

“Oh my gosh! You should see all the pink he’s bought, it’s like Pepto Bismol was barfed all over the new nursery. This little girl is going to have her daddy wrapped around her finger.” Colie’s blonde hair bobs up and down as she talks, her hand rubbing her belly. The grin on her face is contagious.

With a smile, I turn to Mia. “How’s Toby doing with Barrett?”

Now, Mia’s face is adorned with the look of maternal pride. “Toby adores his little brother. He insists on reading to Barrett before bedtime. And watching Tate with the two of them, some days I just can’t handle all the cuteness.”

“Just wait until they start having farting contests, Grant’s already started that with Liam.” Colie comments, acting disgusted, but there’s still a smile in her eyes.

Mia laughs and turns to me. “What’s new with you, Camila? I haven’t heard you talk about Gregg lately.”

My cheeks flush red and suddenly, my latte cup is the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen. Picking at the label, I shrug. “We’ve decided to take a break, no big deal.”

“His idea or yours?” Colie interrogates, leaning forward, eyebrows arched.

“Um, I guess mine,” I fumble, knowing I can’t hide anything from these girls.

“Which Purser?” Colie inquires.

“Colie!” Mia scolds, a tone she rarely even uses on Toby. “Camila’s told us there’s nothing between her and Blake.”

“Thanks, Mia,” I mumble.

Mia’s eyes get slightly wider. “But you’ve never said anything about Evan…”

“Yeah, you two were spending a lot of time together…” Colie adds on.

Suddenly feeling bashful, like I’ve been caught with my hand in the cookie jar, I open my mouth, but no words come out. When I start to speak again, I’m saved by my phone which shrills loudly. Relieved to not have to respond to their insinuation, I answer without looking while Mia and Colie talk amongst themselves.

“Camila Lemos.”

“What the hell do you have me doing?” a male voice booms on the other end, stopping my friends dead in their conversation. Immediately, I recognize Evan’s voice and excuse myself from the table, walking outside to take the phone call.

“Evan, what are you talking about?” I say in a loud whisper so he can hear me but not passerbys.

“This fuckin’ photoshoot! They want me to dress up like a gladiator, I look like a fuckin’ idiot!”

“Calm down, Evan.”

“Get your ass down here, Cami and fix it,” he orders and hangs up. My heart is racing but not at his anger. No, I finally get to see the man that’s been keeping me awake at night.
