Cameron turns to Ben. “You go to the Ivy with them and I will go with Tash and Josh. I will meet you there in about an hour.” Ben nods and then pulls out his phone and texts someone and, in a few seconds, the two Audis come around the corner. The four others pile into the first car and Josh, Cam and I get into the second. Cam squeezes my hand reassuringly as I get into the car. We sit in silence on the way to my apartment and I come to the realization that Cam has come with us to make sure Josh isn’t so mad he starts to fight with me. He’s making sure I’m safe or maybe making sure Josh doesn’t go out and continue fighting, either way I’m impressed with his loyalty. We get back to my apartment and Josh bales straight out of the car and storms toward the door.
Cam looks at me and smiles as we both slowly climb out of the car. “I would ask you to come out with us but we both know he won’t let you come without him and if he goes out tonight, he will definitely get into trouble.” Cam raises his eyebrows and gives me a sympathetic smile.
I blow out a breath and nod. “Is he going to try and fight with me now?”
“I don’t think so. He hates fighting with you.”
“How do you know that?” I’m puzzled to find out how much Joshua tells Cam, how deep their friendship is.
“Because he doesn’t eat or sleep when you’re fighting with him and he follows me around, stressing me out.”
I smile, oh crap. Cameron does know everything. “How much does he tell you, Cam?”
He smiles. “Probably more than you would like.” I nod again as we enter the lift. Josh has obviously stormed up without us. I suddenly feel uncertain about the info he has on me and Cameron must be able to sense my apprehension.
“Don’t worry, Tash, you’ve got him by the balls.”
I smile and link my arm through Cam’s and roll my eyes. “Really. Balls? I’m honored. Here I was thinking that maybe I had him by the heart.”
He laughs. “That too.” He winks as we enter my level and approach my wide-open door. I look at the door and frown at Cameron.
He shakes his head. “It’s just the adrenaline, Tash. He would still be full of it. He will be back to normal in the morning.” I nod. This is ridiculous, I am dealing with a tantrum-throwing two-year-old here. I can hear him in the shower, and I flick the jug on.
“White and one,” Cam says as he bites into an apple out of my fruit bowl.
“So, Dr. Stanton, hey?” I tease.
He smiles. “Yep, three months to go.”
“What are your plans when you finish?” I pass him his tea.
“I’m moving to LA as soon as university finishes in November.”
My eyes go wide. This is news.
He laughs. “Don’t worry, I’m not moving in with you and Josh.” My eyes drop to my tea. Shit, if I was a better person, I would tell him it’s OK to move in with us, but the reality is I want Josh to myself. “I got offered a job six months ago in LA Public Hospital and as Josh has been trying to get me to move over for years, I thought it was now or never.”
I give him a sad smile. “Am I wrecking your plans?”
He shakes his head. “No, I’m just glad you two are working your shit out. I will probably live with Murph, that’s if he gets rid of his wanker boyfriend.”
I frown. “Murph, who’s Murph?”
“Adrian, his last name is Murphy.”
“Don’t you like his boyfriend either?”
“I can’t stand him. I think I hate him more than Josh.”
“Why do you all hate him so much?”
He shakes his head as he drains his cup. “Spend some time with him and you will see. I don’t get what Adrian sees in him. He’s not even a good sort.” I smile. The boys really are good friends with Adrian—their affection is obvious. Joshua walks into the kitchen with a towel around him and saunters up to me as he gives me a lopsided smile.
“Sorry baby.” He runs his thumb over my bottom lip and bends down to give me a tender kiss. I temporarily forget that Cam is here and return his kiss.
Cameron puts his hands up to his temples. “Fuck. It’s spinning me out seeing you two together. I know you’re together, but I haven’t seen you together together.”
Josh rolls his eyes. “Aren’t you going out?”
Cam smiles. “Yes. I’m going to find a certain kind of Mrs. Tonight.” He winks at me.
I frown. “Mrs. Stanton?” I ask and Josh laughs.
“God no…. Mrs. Give-Me-Head, Baby.”
My eyes bulge. “Oh, right. How stupid of me. Have fun.” I smirk.
