“Does it matter?” Cam countered.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” Courtney replied.

“What’s up Courtney?” Cam asked her, ready for her to get to the point.

“Nothing is up, I just wanted to see you. It’s been a while and I need my fix,” Courtney said as she rubbed his chest.

“I’ll call you later Courtney. We’re going out to lunch,” Cam replied.

“You were supposed to call me back a week ago, and I’m still waiting for my phone to ring,” Courtney said.

“I know, I had a lot going on,” Cam answered.

“Yeah, I can see that,” she replied while cutting her eyes to the front of his truck, before rolling them up to the sky.

Demi looked at them out of the rearview mirror, but she couldn’t make out what they were saying. She didn’t like the way Courtney was feeling all over Cam, but she didn’t have a right to say anything. She and Cam weren’t official and she still had a husband at home. Although Demi liked Cam a lot, women like Courtney made it hard for her to let her guard down with him. She could just see herself falling in love with him and getting her heart broken. She never had that to worry about with Kamari and she refused to put herself through it with Cam.

Chapter 20

The following week, Cam and Demi were on their way to breakfast when his mother called. She had left her cellphone at her house and she needed him to pick it up and drop it off to her. He had just picked Demi up and had to make a detour. Demi was still staying with her mother and refused to spend the night at Cam’s apartment. He wasn’t pushing the issue, even though he wanted her there.Aside from blowing up his phone all day and night, Asha never showed up to the house again. He knew that was what bothered Demi the most.

“Where you at Ma?” Cam asked when his mother answered his auntie’s phone.

Cam listened to her reply and assured her that he was on his way. Demi was unusually quiet and she had been that way for a few days. Cam always asked her if she was okay, and she always said that she was. Demi always dominated the conversation and Cam knew that something was up.

“What’s on your mind Demi? And don’t say it’s nothing. I can tell when you have something to say,” Can said while looking at her.

“I’m good,” Demi said while looking out of the window.

“Don’t do that Demi. Talk to me,” Cam pleaded.

“Are you still having sex with Courtney?” Demi blurted out.

Her question caught Cam off guard, but he had no problem answering it.

“I was,” Cam replied honestly.

“What does that mean Camden?” Demi asked with an attitude.

“It means just what I said. I was, but I’m not anymore,” Cam replied.

“You must have a thing for married women,” Demi said, rolling her eyes.

“Don’t play with me, girl. Y’all married heifers need to leave me alone,” Cam laughed.

“How long has it been since you slept with her?” Demi wanted to know. She was in lawyer mode, but it was sexy as hell to him.

“Are you jealous Demi?” Cam asked with a smirk.

“It’s not funny Cam. You’re running around here telling people that I’m your girlfriend, knowing that you’re still fucking your ex. This bitch was just sitting in your car like she was invited there and shit,” Demi snapped.

“Man, I just told you that I’m not dealing with that girl like that no more. But, you need to make up your mind Demi,” Cam said while shaking his head.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Demi asked.

“You need to figure out what you want. One day you’re throwing your marriage up in my face and telling me that we should wait. Then, you’re begging me to give you an upside-down orgasm the day after,” Cam replied.

“I’m sorry Cam, but this is all new to me. I’ve never been with anybody else aside from my husband. I didn’t really date or have boyfriends like a lot of other girls. He was my first real relationship and I married him fresh out of college. Aside from you, he was my only sex partner,” Demi confessed.
