My Best Friend’s Brother Is My Sneaky Link 105
Camille: Clearing my throat., I regained my composure and stood up with a smile. “I’m sorry professor. Could you rephrase the question? I didn’t quite understand it,” I said, sounding as genuine as possible. I wasn’t scared because even though I no longer answered questions in class or even listened during some of the lectures, I still managed to ace all my electives. “Since we just discussed the literary device of the ‘unreliable narrator’, specifically within the context of modernist fiction,” he began, peering up at me from the top of his glasses in a way that managed to make me believe he was looking down at me. “How does Woolf, in Mrs. Dalloway, use the stream of consciousness technique to present Clarissa Dalloway's perspective as simultaneously subjective and yet a collectively resonant truth of the post-war London society?” I swore I could see a smirk on his ‘gotcha’ face. My brain began to work, but must have taken my momentary silence as ignorance. The rest

Camille: “I love you so much baby, but I’ve got to go.” I shut my eyes, wishing he’d take those words back. “Just five more minutes. What difference will five minutes make?” I refused to tell him I loved him back. Telling him that would mean I consented to ending our discussion. Daniel smiled. He looked like the dream guy in a romance movie, especially because I was watching him through the screen of my laptop. “It doesn’t make much of a difference, yes, but when five minutes turns to five more, then before you know it, we’re in fifteen more and next, an hour is gone and I’ll be late for work. I won’t even need to show up because I wouldn’t have had the time to prepare for any cases at all and I’d end up losing everything. With no clients, my firm would shut down and that’ll be the end…” “Then you’ll come back to New York,” I muttered softly as a last attempt, but I knew that wasn’t possible. “No baby,” he said what I already knew he’d say. “I’ll bring you here

Camille: Daniel walked in right after I got into my ward. I told him I’d just been discharged and after clearing the bill, he drove me home. I’d been so occupied with my thoughts that I almost didn’t notice Daniel was awfully quiet during the ride home. He hadn’t said much to me before we got in the car. Just planted a soft kiss on my lips and held my hand. Now we were in the car though, the silence was too strange to not be noticed. “Is everything okay, babe?” I asked him. He gave me a small smile and said nothing, but that only made me worried. “Baby,” I called again and he sighed. “You’re getting me stressed out.” After what felt like eons of him focusing on the road, he spoke. “I thought I had more time,” he said. My lips quivered. That was exactly what I dreaded to hear. I knew it was coming at some point, but not now… “You have to go back to London,” I muttered, as spelling it out would make the blow less painful. He nodded, taking a moment to stu

Camille: I stayed for two more days at the hospital so my wounds could heal to some degree. Lucia and my mom fell into a routine of taking turns to visit me at the hospital, both of them not wanting to cross each other’s paths. Daniel stayed by my side for the rest of my stay there, only leaving to freshen up and return after with food for me. When the doctor finally cleared me to leave, coincidentally, no one had been around. Daniel had just stepped out to freshen up for the day and my mom was working on moving her flight, while Lucia was doing whatever it was she was doing. There was still a wedge between us we couldn’t ignore. We’d been fighting before then, so turning into best buds again, especially after all I’d heard her confess would be not only hypocritical, but quite undoable for me. I supposed she felt the same way. “Won’t you wait for someone to come get you first?” The nurse who’d just given me a typed note of my discharge from the hospital as well as some medicat

Camille: “Doctor!” When the doctor came in, I tried to sit on my own but realized I couldn’t do anything besides moving my fingertips. Not having any control over my own body was beyond aggravating. “She can breathe on her own now, but she needs some more time to do anything else,” the doctor said after checking my vitals and taking off my oxygen mask. “It could be a few minutes or an hour. Just keep her engaged.” “How do you feel?” Daniel asked me, holding my hand. “Lift your finger twice if you’re okay and once if you don’t.” How did I feel? I honestly didn’t know how to answer that question. “It’s okay. The doctor says you’ll be able to move very well soon,” he said. He must have taken my hesitation as inability to move my finger. I lifted my finger thrice. Daniel chuckled. “I missed you.” He placed a kiss on my forehead. Lucia was by one side of the room watching me with apprehension. I could read the look on her face. She was trying to figure out how mu

Camille: There was silence for a long while. It seemed as though they were giving me time to process what I’d just heard. But I knew it was all in my head. They still thought I was unconscious and that was why they spilled everything. “I didn’t go after Rhea because I knew you fancied her. I already liked her. It’s not my fault she liked me back,” Daniel said. From how he sounded, I deduced he must have tried to explain that a hundred times before. “That’s bull crap and you know it,” she said offhandedly and returned to her position beside me. “It’s not,” Daniel cut in. “I accept it. I should have stepped back when you confessed how you felt about her to me and I didn’t. That makes me guilty, but you have to admit…” “Don’t say it,” she said threateningly. “She did not like you back, Lucia. That’s just the truth.” “If you hadn’t come into the picture, she would have realized her feelings for me sooner or later. How would she like me back when you of all people s
