“Baby, don’t you know?” I touch her face and she cracks open her eyes. “I’m never leaving you.”
“Promise?” Her eyes are filled with so much love for me, my chest aches.
“Yeah.” I chuckle, dipping my head to kiss her. “You’re stuck with me.”
“There’s no one else I’d rather be stuck with.”
“Same, Jo Jo.”
Same.

“Aw, you two are so cute.”Cam waves his hand at us, his sugary tone making me think he’s being sarcastic. “It’s really true love, huh?”
We’re at a local pizza restaurant downtown, where I met the guys after their practice to grab a quick dinner. Knox asked me to come and this is the first time I’ve hung out with them like this after practice. I never want to intrude, but he insisted I go so here I am.
“Definitely,” Knox says firmly, his gaze shifting to mine, going soft and hazy the longer he looks at me. “I’m in love with her.”
Aw.
I rest my hand over where his rests on the table, interlacing our fingers together. “And I’m in love with you.”
Knox starts kissing me right there in the booth and Cam groans as if he’s in complete agony.
“Save it for the bedroom, you two. It’s bad enough I have to listen to your escapades on a nightly basis,” he complains.
Knox glances over at his best friend. “You listen to us?”
“It can’t be helped. The walls are thin and my bedroom is right next to yours.” Cam shakes his head. “I invested in new AirPods with noise cancellation to save me from having to hear you two.”
“Every night, Cam? Come on. You’re not around much lately anyway,” I point out, my voice casual.
But really, I’m curious. What is Cam up to exactly? Where does he go that he’s out all night long? When I asked Knox about it, he just sent me a knowing look and basically implied if he has to explain where Cam is, then I’m far more naïve than he originally thought.
I’m definitely not naïve. I’m suspicious. Big difference.
Do I think Cam is out hooking up with a different woman every night?
No.
Do I believe he might be sneaking around and possibly seeing Knox’s little sister?
Yes, I think so.
This is all based on gut feelings and a few things Blair has said in the past. Oh, and that moment I caught them together at the apartment, looking guilty as hell. And mad. Cam just stormed off, which he seems to do a lot when Blair is around. What’s up with that?
Does she push him away?
Does he feel guilty for messing around with his best friend’s sister? Knox is overly protective of her. He’d probably lose his mind if he found out Cam is messing around with Blair.
Knox is completely distracted by football, school and me, so I don’t think he sees it. Not like I do.
“Yeah, I go out a lot.” That’s Cam’s answer.
