MONDAY.
Blake's hands lingered on mine after the shake, he gave rise to his thumb and rubbed a small circle over the top of my palm.
He didn't pull away after that, just a very intense gaze and what I've come to know as his signature smirk.
Taking matters in my hand, I mean that quite literally, I pulled my hand away, clearing my throat not to make that exchange too awkward and obvious.
Even afterwards, his gaze rested solely on me.
From behind, Dylan got out of the water, pulling my hand to help me.
I was close enough, could get out myself, maybe there's an ulterior motive to that.
Since we were out, Blake took his eyes off me for a minute, directing them to Dylan.
A tensed and angry Dylan.
This entire place was tense.
"Come here!"
He cooed, pulling him in for a little bro hug.
Even I could tell he didn't want to do it, his shoulders tensed

CAMILLA RENÉEMONDAY. He said what we were doing. Exact words. We were in the pool, he had his hands on each side of my head, caging me, leaning in, his lips were pursed, I think he wanted a kiss. I can never predict Dylan, he makes it his life goal not to allow anyone to do that.But we are alone now, so what else could he need?Ugh!Either way, I'll find out in a minute.Snapping out of my thought, I lift one hand, reaching for a strand of my hair, I snap out of those flimsy thoughts staring wordlessly at him."So Camilla."There it is. He's playing at me. He wants me to make this first move, he'll just push me hard enough to do something, what if he doesn't want anything but me making a complete fool out of myself.Of course. I harden my face, creasing my brows."Stop goofing around, I think I liked it better when you were annoyed, just put on a shirt and pants. Not these shorts. Maybe we c
Living With The Player Blake's Intentions
CAMILLA RENÉE**PRESENT TIME**"Camilla!"I was jerked back to reality, Dylan shook my shoulders roughly forcing my mind out of the pit it had entered while thinking about that night.The kiss didn't wash off quickly, I shook my head a couple of times until it engulfed in the air and returned to being just a past. A nasty past."Did you call me? I'm sorry, I signed off. I was thinking of something. Sorry."I said gulping. His eyes went to my hands.My eyes widened thinking I held the earring still, it wasn't in my hand.I recall dropping it. I forgot again after drifting into affairs of the past. Now I just look stupid.I switched my gaze to the desk where it laid comfortably, then back at Dylan who now seemed nervous."Umm that belonged to someone I knew. It's not what you were thinking with the bikinis." I cringed my nose, a fuzzy vision getting into my head of I and Dylan doing that said thing.N
Living With The Player Dinner Gone Wrong
CAMILLA RENÉEMONDAY.8:43 PM."I have actually, that is I have watched a movie there before."I answered, averting my gaze from a tormented Dylan, that response was in hopes of ending the facade. He'll drop the date thing if there's no need to show me around. "That's great, you could pick a movie although I was hoping we could Jumanji."He's relentless.Wow. One more thing he has in common with his brother. For everyone's sake, I can't go on the date.Yes, I'm calling it that.It was in the confines of the house, there will be people around the house, we might be alone in the theatre, plus he didn't request for anyone else, that has all the attributes of a date, characteristics and all.If it sounds like a date. Looks like a date. It sure as hell feels like a date.It's a date. Deep breaths Camilla. Deep breaths. What's strange is how Mother and Father have completely zoned

**CAMILLA RENÉE**TUESDAY MORNING.It's a Tuesday morning.I woke up sad and dejected.A literal frown was etched along the lines of my face, my lips were turned down, and the urge to get out of bed just wasn't there.After the little encounter, I had dragged my stupid ass to bed.Falling asleep after much-needed turning and tossing, laying numerous curses on Dylan Emerton.Now I'm just bleak. Sad. Tired. Hurt. Angry.All at once. Weird?That doesn't even sum it all quite.Aside from all of that, I had a bad dream.I've had bad dreams from the fire, my parents finding out then casting me out.Those were normal.This however was about a different subject. A delicate one. One I had chained and kept locked thre

CAMILLA RENÉE TUESDAY. "Yes, I am a jerk." Dylan taking responsibility wasn't the reaction I expected. My lips part in shock. I'm stunned. *She's mine.* A tiny voice echoed in my head. Fo-cus. "I don't want Blake to take you shopping." His cold voice tone forces my attention back to him. It never left, I just wasn't staring. "Why?" I blurt out. "It's no big deal. If you need to go shopping, I can take you. End of discussion Camilla, you don't need Blake..." "Who are you to tell me who I can and cannot need? I didn't see you offering at the table yesterday?" I counter, returning my hands to being crossed. "I know. I just don't want him

CAMILLA RENÉE TUESDAY AFTERNOON. RICHMOND HIGH. While on the bus, Dylan left directions to the spot he had reserved for me. Cute right? Well, just a little. The only problem was getting there in this state. Come on Camila. As I drew closer, the cheer squads from both teams well cheered at the top of their voices, each side eagerly praising their boys. With my heart racing, I could barely take two steps without a rethink. If I skipped the game, I would not get a heart attack while watching but the thought of what's going to happen to him will haunt me either way. If I don't, I'll end up twitching in my seat while being paranoid all through 90 minutes. I wanted nothing more than for the next few hours

CAMILLA RENÉE TUESDAY EVENING. ST JOHN'S HOSPITAL. "Dylan..." I bite back on my lip, so hard that I couldn't stop until I tasted my blood. I withdrew my hold and looked around for a seat instead. "You don't need to seat down. You need to explain to me and then I decide if it's good enough, if it is we'll see, but from the look on your face you're going to leave because it's crap." "Dylan.." "Speak. Why didn't you tell me?" I exhaled slowly. "What do you remember from that night? The kiss? Anything else?" "That's not the question." He retorted narrowing his gaze. "Maybe it should be. If you're sure you know everything, I doubt you'll be so mad now." "What else happened? I have an idea of what happened right? Alright then. You tell your side of the story then we can go back to how you kept it away from me for two years." I stood on end, swallowing hard. "Well.."

**CAMILLA RENÉE** TUESDAY EVENING ST JOHN'S HOSPITAL. I gawked at him, his head cocked over, a cute smile tugging at all corners of his lips. I know what he's referring to. At least the grimace and glare are off his face. I can't deal with that side of him again. Ever. "Your hoodie Mr Emerton is under my pillow, safe and sound. I've taken good care of it." That's not a total lie although I hardly take it through the laundry, I don't wear it outdoors, so it's not always dirty. It's majorly because of his cologne, it's barely on it anymore, but still. "You kept it?" He ponders taking me out of my poor laundry choices. The amusement in his tone had me surprised. He thought I'd throw it in a dumpster or what? I ran into a burning house for it, safe to say I don't plan on letting it go anytime soon. "I did." I answered confidentially despite the tiny blush creeping up my cheeks a

CAMILLA RENEE LINCOLN MEMORIAL. It's three pm and there's hardly anyone around. I can't see Harper or Dylan. I'm inside the memorial. My phone began ringing again. "You listened. Now keep walking. You'll get your reward soon." "What do you want?" "You. Forever." He answers in the same computerized voice. Me? I thought his obsession was Dylan. After seven years, he's still psychotic. "W-What are you talking about? Why won't you leave me the fuck alone?" I step forward, checking around. "I can't, even if I tried," I furrow my brows. "Where is Dylan?" "Closer." I shiver "Why did you take him? What do you want?" "I told you, Darlin, you and I. Forever." I search the entire place. It's no longer scanty. It's empty now. Completely empty. I walk out and try trailing the surrounding. Even security has vanished. Wait, a minute. Dylan calls me Darlin. Did Harper take that up now? Has he gotten even more crazy? "Have you figured it out yet?" "Dylan." I whisper. "Darlin."

CAMILLA RENÉEEIGHT YEARS LATER.WILLIAMS MEDICAL CENTER, WASHINGTON."Camilla? Are you done with that patient?"Athena peaked her head in, checking the room to be certain. I nodded my head, stifling a laugh. She strode in, pulled a chair and chuckled while seating."How long did he stay this time?""Two hours. Two pure hours of torture. Listening to him ramble about a woman who's probably shaking her ass on a yacht with another man. It's sad. Funny, but truly sad."Athena poured two glasses of wine for each of us."You deserved it."I bobbed my head in agreement. Sighing, she took a seat across as though she were my patient. I have no clue why his wife suddenly picked her bags and flew half way across the country leaving him devastated. Poor man still loves her, he'll heal. Hopefully.Until then, it's my duty to sit and listen. And he's like a two out of my tough patients. There are some who haven't gotten over dead daughters. Others who are depressed. God I love my job.

CLAIRE MITCHELL Sixteen days. So much has happened in over two weeks. So much has changed. Before I'd be begged to shut up, now everyone keeps gawking and idling for a word or two out of me.My parents flew out of Cal-U yesterday. They did their best, but I wasn't ready yet. Dylan's mother got close though. All she did was hug me and I sobbed.Yesterday I saw him. Camilla's ex. He knew about everything, so I choose to give the doctor's words a chance and then open up about this entire shit.So here I am, sitting across from him, peaking at his notepad while he scribbles my first and last name."If I gave you a choice between your blood and the one person you loved, who would you pick?"He gawks in shock. Half expecting me to keep quiet throughout. "Is that why you're withdrawn? Because of what Harper did to Dylan?"I chuckle."No. Of course now. I just don't see a reason to talk much unlike before. I'm curious, so I'm asking.""No. You're trying to convince yourself that you're nobod

MIRANDA COSGROVESATURDAY.“The audacity of you to come here! You animal!”I shriek, knocking my nose, which forces me to step back. “Why does everyone keep hitting me today?”Rocking my head, I disregard the comment he made and what he might mean. He deserves all the punches in the world. “Get the fuck out of my dorm. You better not try to speak with Camilla. Not after what happened. I refuse to let you get close to her.”Shoving a finger in his face, I propped my shoulders to seem taller and more intimidating.“Where is Camilla? Dylan came to my place screaming about how I tried to get her into the dorm. I came back here to make sure she was okay. He got a call and ran off. Have you seen her?”My bag drops to the floor and I panic.“What? He hasn’t found her? He hung up, and I thought, maybe...”I lower my knees and retrieve my cell, dialling Dylan’s number first. Straight to voice mail. I did the same to Camilla. Voice mail.What the hell is happening?“What did you do? What did y

DYLAN EMERTONSATURDAY.The shot landed beside Camilla's leg, making a dent in the wood. I saw my entire life through my eyes, and Camilla was the only thing I could see.I almost lost her. Harper would've shot Camilla if I hadn't howled. The bullet was inches away from hitting her."I do not have all day D. I would've opted for initials, but they both have Cs."His goons all laughed as he waved the gun in the air. I stomped forward, lifting my chin."You almost hurt her. I would have killed you!""Aww D, we're brothers, remember?"He clicked his tongue, then lifted the gun again."Enough stalling. Choose."I eyed both of them. My family. My whole life. I love them both. I may not love them. I'd be a fool to deceive my brain by saying I loved both of them at the same level. Camilla means more. Camilla will always mean more. But that does not justify killing my cousin. I can't live with that. I'm done thinking about just my needs.She has friends. Parents. May have a boyfriend who also

DYLAN EMERTONSATURDAY"You had her for two days, give or take! You couldn't allow me to spend a day with her!"I check the ID. it's unknown, but I recognize Miranda's voice. I'd figure out how she got my number later. "What are you talking about?" The more obvious question."Well, Camilla texted, "I had to run." I assume she's with you?"My brows knit together. "She isn't here."Standing up from the bed, I toss a T-shirt on, alarmed."How long was that text?""About three hours ago, I had to watch the movie. Now I can't reach her, and I called you to rant. You better not be fucking again!""Miranda slow down. I haven't seen Camilla since this morning.""Huh? But she texted me that...""Maybe she's at the dorm?""No. I called the landline there. No one answered."My heart skipped a pace."Dylan?""Wait a minute, Camilla never texts in full with me. Much less use words like "Run" Why am I just noticing this?"My heart jumped at another one."I think something happened." No shit. "Whe

CAMILLA RENÉEFRIDAY."You scent, It's better than I ever imagined."Dylan grunts fill the entire room as he kisses me up to my thighs, snugging his nose over my skin and then pressing his mouth on my inner skin.I moan, giving little regard to how loud I must sound, or who might be attracted to what we were doing.I'm clad in my panties only, which soon meet their fate on the floor. Dylan steps away, holding my gaze as he makes quick words of his shirt.Kneading my legs, I crawl to the edge of the bed, attempting to reach his belt buckle.He passes me a knowing look, chuckles, and then tosses his head back, allowing me room to his body.I peel the pants off his skin, reaching for the waistband of his boxer briefs.His hands meet mine and he halts that movement."Not yet."He grumbles, concealing his head in the corner of my neck."Lay back."His gentle commands ring in my ears. Obeying, I straighten my legs and return my back to the bed, all without breaking his gaze.Smirking, he be

CAMILLA RENÉEFRIDAY."How fucked up do you reckon the outside world is now?" Dylan dissembles the subject for a few seconds."We've been in isolation for twelve hours give or take? I'd like roughly two per cent more."Simultaneously, we break into laughter."What do you expect to do after graduation? P. I or you're going to work for a firm?""Well Darlin, I like my space, so I don't think I'll be under any company. I'll freelance." A delicate smile jerks my lips."Don't you think it'll be stressful? Having all those limited resources?""I'm very resourceful."He soothes me, pressing several kisses on the side of my head."And you? What are you going to do?""Hospitals. I want to work in a hospital. I'll be able to reach and help more people that way.""But that's a long time from now, we still have three-plus years to go. A lot could occur""You'd expect to change career paths?"He taunts. I shrug both shoulders."No, I'm just striving to keep an open mind. I infer my house got destro
