Cream and Sugar novel

---- 32. The Part Where I'm Sick If we did kiss, Cameron would bring it up, wouldn't she? "No, I've been up for a while." The ringing continued and Cammie smiled at me innocently, "You should get that." "Right." Inod my head and made my way to the living room where the ringing had been coming from. Like the dream, or hallucination , or whatever , I also felt better than before. I checked the caller and it was unregistered, still, I answered it. Alex's voice greeted me. "H-hey, hi, Gail.

It's Alex." "Oh, hey, Alex," I catch Cameron get out of bed and into the kitchen. She was wearing my college shirt again. "sorry I couldn't get to the phone sooner, I was asleep." "Really?" I hear her tone shift to embarrassment in a snap, "I'm sorry. I didn't know." "That's alright." I still looked at Cammie, she was putting soup on two bowls. "Well, I was just a little concerned since you didn't show up yesterday for coffee." "Oh, yeah, sorry about that.

Something kinda came up yesterday." I looked at the clock, it was already five ---- minutes past eight. "Okay, I understand. W-well, my shift is over already. Are you available tonight?" I winced as I was about to decline. "Actually, I can't. I'm sick today. Been sneezing nonstop since this morning." Now, Cameron made her way to where I was, she gestured something and I shook my head because I didn't get it. "Loudspeaker ." Cameron whispers.

I do as she says, quickly darting to her lips as I was still analyzing the truth about the kiss. "You're sick? Oh, now I feel terrible for interrupting your sleep." I told her It was okay and it wasn't a big deal. "Well, would you mind if I come over to your place?" Cameron hears this and she mouths a 'wow' to me," Eager beaver." She says and I wave her off. "N-no, I don't think that would be a good idea, Alex. I'm really sick, and I think I'm contagious.

You might get sick if you come over." Cameron gives me a big frown, why not, she says. Ihear Alex sigh from the other line, "Alright. I won't." Iam rendered speechless as I imagined the girl's disappointment . "But hey, we'll take a rain check on that coffee, alright ?" She tells mea sad 'okay', "I'll call you." ---- As soon as I hang up, Cameron begins to shake her head, "You made the poor girl sad." I gave her a shrug, "Why? I only told her the truth.

I might spread germs if she comes over." We make our way to the table and she offers me a bowl of soup. "Well, it's not like you're going to kiss her, right?" I froze by the mention of the word 'kiss'. "Besides, what's the deal with you and this Alex anyway?" Now I looked at her face, scanning for any hidden emotion behind her question. "Nothing worth mentioning.

Why do you ask?" "Pfft," Cameron says as if it was a big deal, "because you're going out for coffee, she's concerned that you're sick and wants to come over, come on, there must be something." I take a pause as I munch on a spoonful of soup, "Are you jealous?" I tried to tease her jokingly. "Now, why would I be jealous?" She couldn't look at me now, she only focused on her bowl. "You are totally jealous." I say as I chuckled.

Cameron's face goes red and it made me smile more, " Why would I be jealous? It's not like we're going out. To prove I am not-" her hand grabs my phone and unlocks it. "What are you doing?" I ask her as she holds my
