The Boyfriend (The Camgirl Part 3)

XXXI: Which First?

You've got to give her something.

"It's not."

Walking back to her desk to pick up her phone, cock about half-hard again at the idea of sending Marie a picture of her like this, Lexi almost took the picture, then stopped, thinking of something.

She went over to her dresser and grabbed a low-cut crop top, then went over to her closet and grabbed a vest.

"Wait just a moment, Marie."

"Yes, Lexi."

Lexi smiled at that as she put on the crop top, and took a picture of herself in the mirror, then did the same with the vest. Both from the waist up. Then, she took the vest off and took a full-body picture for Marie.

She hesitated for a moment, then sent the pictures to Marie.

"There," she said as the pictures loaded and popped up on her side of the text chat, "Does it look as good as you imagined?"

Marie was silent for a moment, and again Lexi had to bat away thoughts that Marie didn't like it because she looked too manly.

She's seen you naked before. Just because you feel this way doesn't mean--

"Holy shit. I want to fuck you so bad, Lexi. Being this far away sucks."

Lexi beamed. She couldn't help it. She knew she should expect that from Marie, given how much she'd just teased her, but...

No. There's none of that to her voice. She just genuinely wants that. She misses me.

Lexi swallowed, trying to contain her excitement, "Thank you. I really like it, Marie. Even though you weren't supposed to get it for me."

"If you need to punish me again, I think it's worth it," Marie said, "As long as you're wearing that while you do it."

Lexi couldn't help laughing at that, "You're such a fucking brat."

Marie let out a dramatic sigh, "If only you were here to put me in my place for it. Now open your second present."

Lexi rolled her eyes at that, thinking for a moment about reprimanding Marie, but she was too excited.

If her joke-present made me feel this good...

The second box was bigger, and had a lot more packing inside when Lexi opened it.

"Technically," Marie said as Lexi tore at the packaging, "This one was more of an impulse-buy than a Christmas present."

When Lexi finally reached the present, her eyes went wide. A moment later, as she cleared away the rest of the packaging, her jaw dropped.

"I saw it and just thought of you," Marie said, "I decided I was getting it for you. You like it, right? Or do you already have it?"

Lexi couldn't find any words as she turned over the slipcase, then drew the book out of it.

It wasn't one of the Barnes and Noble special editions, or some artsy copy or anything like that, but...

"I don't have it yet," Lexi finally forced out, setting it down on her desk and flipping through the pages of Stephen King's The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, "It was on my reading list, but..."

"So I remembered right?"

Lexi's throat felt tight. She was smiling so much the corners of her mouth hurt.

"You did. I can't believe you remembered. I never even--"

"You said how you had spent so much time working on school that you didn't have time to read for fun lately," Marie said, "After we went to those old horror movies, remember?"

Lexi smiled, closing the book and running her fingers over the cover, "Yeah, I remember."

"I figured that if you had a nice version of one of the books you wanted to read, you'd feel more compelled to read it."

"I can't wait," Lexi said, still beaming, eyes starting to get hot.

She remembered. And she actually cares. This isn't just about sex for her. She actually...

Lexi bit her lip, swallowing.

"Thank you, Marie. This is really amazing."

"I'm glad you like it."

Still gazing at the book, Lexi took a deep breath.

How am I going to show her that I care about her like this, too?

A/N: What do you think of the presents? What do you think Lexi is going to do for Marie?
