Cream and Sugar novel

---- finger." She paused to look at me, "I did? I must bea little drunk." We both chuckled, "Yeah, you are. Now come on, let's put this under cold water, alright?" She nodded obediently. After I do so, I let her sit on the couch. "I'll finish cooking, stay here, I'll make you some coffee." I finished preparing the food and I was only waiting for the coffee to brew. In the living room, I glanced over to see Cameron lying down.

Since my heart was pumping really fast and I needed some answers, I quickly dial Tiff's number. She answers by the fourth ring. "Hello, Gail, are you drunk again?" She says ever so disappointingly. "Fortunately I'm not. I've downed some but I don't even feel a little drunk." I cleared my throat, giving Tiff the chance to question me. "Okay, what's this about? You do know it's nearly midnight, right?

Oh, don't tell me you got yourself in prison or something worse." "W-what?" I ask her, "Why do you expect the worst from me?" "Cause you're Gail, it's nothing personal, honey." She was making sense and I did get myself in trouble once or twice. ---- "Wait, what would be worse than prison?" I suddenly ask, getting off topic, "Oh never mind that.

Put me on speaker, I wanna ask you two a question." A few seconds of silence came from Tiff's line, I heard Peter mumbling what happened to me and if I got myself in trouble. "You're on speaker." "HI GAIL." Peter says too loudly, muffling the microphone a bit. "Hey Pete, listen guys, I have to ask you a question." Tiff asks what it was and I quickly reply, "Have you guys watched Blue Is The Warmest Color?" Both of them respond at the same time, Tiff answers no, and Peter answers yes.

I quickly picture them glancing at each other begrudgingly. "I mean no... No..." Peter says immediately. "Would any straight woman watch that film?" Now their responses were in a chorus 'yes'. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Tiff asks, " You know you don't need our permission to watch porn." *Cue glance over Peter*. "It's not that. It's just-" I paused, "it's just that I'm still with Cameron right now." "What?" I hear Peter ask, followed by Tiff saying really? "Yeah yeah.

We were having such a fun time, you ---- know. We were talking , we were drinking , we were cooking, and all that. And I finally had fixed myself on just being friends with her, I convinced myself that she was straight. But then she mentions that she knows Léa from Blue Is The Warmest Color, and now... Now I'm wondering again." "Oh, Gail." Tiff says, preparing me for a soothing lecture , "Look, if you like this girl, you've got to be careful and delicate. Stop thinking so much.

Don't you see you're the best when you stop thinking and just be yourself?" I nodded , despite not having Tiff to see it, I guess." "Yeah, Gail, just be yourself. Be comfortable. We're so glad you two are having a blast over there." Peter says so loudly again. "All right, I'll calm down. Thanks you guys." Both of us said our goodbyes and I finally hang up the phone. I took a breath and fixed the table with the food. I mixed sugar and milk in the coffee and brought it to Cameron to drink.

"Oh hey, I'm sorry I feel a little loopy. Thanks for this." She says, taking hold of the cup. "It's all right." I take a glance over my watch and sure enough, it was nearly midnight. "Listen, after dinner I should head off." "What?" Cameron says, a little disappointed , "You ---- should stay, see, what time is it?" She grabs hold of my hand to see my watch, "It's halfway midnight ! I can't let you go this hour." I chuckled, "Hey, it's all right, I'll be fine.

I can just grab a cab and take it straight home." The blonde wasn't having it at all, "No way, you're staying. Plus, I would really appreciate the company, especially yours." I went silent for a while to prevent from stuttering, '"'W -well wouldn't your roommate be home soon? I'm sure she'll mind my presence." From the mention of the roommate, Cameron takes a deep breath before answering, "No, no, I don't think he'd be home anytime soon..." He? So her roommate's a guy then. "Are you sure?" "Absolutely."
