"You make this seem so easy" Camilla uttered, staring up at Aubrey as he lay staring at the ceiling. It was nearly 5am but Aubrey was still at Camilla's house. They'd spent majority of their time talking about what
"Isn't it?" He chuckled slightly, looking at her.
"I want it to be, I just don't- I don't know. This is weird for me" Camilla tensed up, getting lost in her thoughts.
"Baby, those few years ago, I was 20 years old, I'm 25 now. I don't see life the same anymore" Aubrey said, still staring at the ceiling. "I'm on my grown man shit now"
"Oh, word?" Camilla laughed. "I hope you mean it"
"I do, C. I want us to do everything we said we would" Aubrey looked at her.
"We still have to her reacquainted with each other though. It's been a while. We can't just jump back into everything" Camilla raised an eyebrow.
"Yes we can" Aubrey smirked.
"That's not how it works in the real world, baby" Camilla rolled her eyes, laughing.
"But it can" Aubrey pulled her closer to him and held her by the back of her neck while kissing her. As the kiss intensified, Aubrey couldn't help but to put his hands in places they shouldn't be.
"Like I said, let's get reacquainted first" Camilla cut the kiss short and sat up, sighing. She wasn't going to give in that easily, she wanted to make sure everything was right before jumping back in with Aubrey. As much as he was her first...everything. She needed the reassurance that she wouldn't be a source to feed his sex related thoughts.
"I wasn't gonna try anything" Aubrey looked at her, apologetically. He could tell she wasn't completely convinced he was serious.
"I know, but just in case, so you know where we stand" Camilla stared up at the ceiling.
"Where exactly do we stand?" Aubrey asked her. As much as things were going well right now, neither could tell whether it was an in the moment type of thing or whether they were really ready to move on.
"You tell me"
"I always said to you, whenever I get out, I'm marrying you. That still stands, that's still my plan" Aubrey confessed.
"I do want that, but it's been a while Aubrey. You wanna do all of this because it was your plan, you might decide that you don't want that anymore"
"Why do you have so much doubt in me?"
"I don't know, maybe because you told me I was burden and I was-"
"Please don't bring that up...I said that out of frustration and I never meant it"
"I want you to be in love with me, not in love with the idea of me" Camilla looked at him.
"Don't say that like I don't know anything about you, I know shit that most don't. Look, since I got out, you're all I could think about" Aubrey held her hands. "If I'm honest, the reason I didn't come to see you as soon as I got out was because I didn't know approach it...Baka had to get that coward shit out of me, I was thinking you were married, had a couple of kids or something"
"See, this is what I wanted...for you to just be real and honest" Camilla laughed as she took in what Aubrey was saying.
"I've been real and honest since I got here" Aubrey furrowed his brows.
"No, you were just saying what you thought I wanted to hear. I did want to hear that, but I needed hear exactly what you just said too"
"I've missed this, I keep saying it but I mean it"
"Same, I mean I tried not to but I really did" Camilla smiled. "I've got one question, and don't lie to me"
"I won't, go ahead" Aubrey was slightly concerned as to what she was going to ask, but he wanted to fix things so he had to answer as honest as possible.
"Have you fucked anyone since you got out?" Camilla asked, quietly smiling to herself.
"C, really...this question?" Aubrey rubbed his facial hair, trying to deflect from the conversation.
"C, really this question?" Camilla mimicked him. "Just answer it, I hated you two months ago so it doesn't even matter"
"I'm a grown man, I have no problem telling you-"
"Ok, so tell me then" Camilla bursted out laughing.
"I didn't fuck anybody, I got top but I swear that was it" Aubrey held his hands up as sign of surrendering.
"Wasn't that hard was it?" Camilla smirked.
"Have you fucked anybody?" Aubrey flipped the question.
"Oh, Aubrey" Camilla rolled her eyes.
"Oh, Aubrey" Aubrey mocked her. "I told you what it is baby, don't hide nothing"
"Yeah, but it's a bit, uh, complicated..." Camilla cleared her throat. "It wasn't a guy, it was a girl"
Oh, word!" Aubrey chuckled loudly. "You tried that team?"
"Shut up" Camilla went bright red, pushing Aubrey playfully. "I didn't give just so you know, I received"
"You're not stern enough to be the dominant one, that doesn't surprise me" Aubrey joked. "You really went over that side, huh?"
"You broke my heart and a lady wanted to fix it...so I let her" Camilla fanned herself.
"What, you guys kissed and all-"
"Yes!" Camilla put her hands over his mouth. "Let's talk about something else"
"So are you bisexual?" Aubrey's interest grew further.
"No Aubrey, it was a girl that I was friends with and it was a one time thing. It literally lasted like two months, tops"
"Wow, so which friend?" Aubrey laughed. "Let me guess, Brielle? Kennedy? Alisha-"
"No, because you won't act normal when you see her. Let's move on now" Camilla covered her face.
"I'm playing, baby. I'll stop now" Aubrey laughed, moving her hands from her face.
"Thank you" Camilla laughed faintly, moving her hands from her face. "So, do I call you my bestfriend or my boyfriend or my ex"
"I was gonna wait until I was leaving to clarify all of this...don't ever call me your ex, though. I was your man even for that year and a half we weren't together" Aubrey rolled her eyes. Camilla wasn't one to hold her tongue, she usually said what was on her mind. It reminded him a lot of the first time they met.
"Crazy..." Camilla laughed.
"You're my wife, but my girlfriend for now"
"That wasn't a question" Camilla rolled her eyes.
"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you" Aubrey chuckled.
"Oh" Camilla smirked, raising an eyebrow.
And just like that, they were back. Two of the most stubborn people ever had finally found their way back to each other.
"By the way, next week Brielle is having a party for her son, well my Godson. Can you come with me?"
"Brielle had a yute? For who?" Aubrey looked on in disbelief. Brielle was one of Camilla's close friends, she used to date 40 a while before falling pregnant when they had broken up. Since then she'd just disappeared from what he'd heard:
"Remember that guy that Baka used to clown all the time, what's his name again...Kameron?" Camilla looked lost in thought. Aubrey's ear's perked up at the sound of that name.
"The lightskin, Bajan guy?" Aubrey questioned.
"Yeah, him" Camilla nodded, showing Aubrey a photo of Brielle, Kameron and their son. A lightbulb went off in his head, Baka was right when he said all they needed was a little bit of information to get the bigger picture.
"I'll be there, I'll even bring a gift" Aubrey chuckled, pulling out his phone to text Baka.
