Caden's POV

Cameron... PFF!

Even the name sounds like barf. And to think this precious little demon has been seeing someone else. I swear i'm gonna kill him.

"Give it!" she yelled and snatched it off my hand with a killer glare.

"Who's he?" I asked as I stared.

"He is not you. So mind your business," she shot acidly and dashed the napkin on the table.

"Jerk!" she snarled and brushed my shoulder, heading upstairs.

Did the bitch do that to me. Oh, no. She had no idea who she was messing with 'cause if she did, I didn't think that conversation would've been necessary.

Angrily, I slammed my fists on the table and hissed, headed to my room.

I dialled Adrian for the fist time in a long time.

"Oh, hey bro! I thought you'll never call. Let me guess. She did something?"

Thank the heavens he had gotten smarter a bit. His brain just increased from a peanut to a smartie.

"What the hell? Who's she and what the fuck are you talking about?" I asked, playing dumb.

"Please cut it. Spill it. What'd she do?"

"She as in the bitch had the balls to text another guy in my presence!" I yelled.

"First, come on. She's a girl. She ain't got no balls. And second, you got burned, bad!" he replied in his annoying stupid tone and a little chuckle.

"I swear i'm gonna fire you!" I shot.

"Calm down, calm down. I am gonna help you. I promise. Just let me. And I promise, you're not gonna regret it!"

"You've made this promise over a million times and I always regret it. Fumble this time, and you're out!" I warned.

"Okay, chill. I promise I won't. Here's the plan,"

I listened to hear the shit that was gonna come rushing none stop out of his trap.

"First, we set up a meeting. Like a date. Posing as the guy she was texting,"

"Seriously?"

"Can you let me finish?"

"Fine," I rolled my eyes.

"Aha. As I was saying, we set up a date using a number and tell her to meet me at the restaurant. And then, we can finally find out what's going on between the two. I swear this is gonna be a whole lot of crazy and fun," he giggled.

"And why should I trust you in this?" I asked, doubtful.

"Because, i'm the man. And, you have no one else to run to for advice,"

"Yeah, right," I rolled my eyes and hissed.

"Okay, i'm coming over in a bit,"

"Yeah, see you," I hung up and tossed the phone to the table.

Oh, boy!

°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Let's get this party heated!" Adrian yelled as he pounced on my bed with his phone.

"Watch it!" I yelled and motioned to him to move over.

"So, let's start?"

I nodded and he started typing.

Adrian
Hey!

"She's not replying!" I yelled, frustrated.

"Give her some time. She'll definitely reply," he smooth talked.

29 minutes later....

"This is hopeless!" I blurted.

Bella
Hi

"Told you!" he nudged my shoulder with a wink and I just rolled my eyes.

"What's his name?" he asked as he stared at the text message.

"Cameron!" I replied hastily.

"This should be good!" he smirked.

Adrian
Its Cameron.

Bella
Didn't realize that. A different number?

Adrian
Yeah. Any plans today?

Bella
Not really

Adrian
What about breakfast?

Bella
Already had breakfast.

Adrian
Come on, a little date? Please?

"What the hell, man! That sounds way too cheesy. No one's gonna buy that!" I yelled at him.

Bella
Well, okay. Text me the address.

"Then we've got a no one on our case," he replied with a smile.

"Whatever!"

Adrian
Will do. Be seeing you in a while.

"And that, my bro, is how you talk to a lady," he shot proudly and flipped the phone on the bed, resting on it.

"Right! Its the first time in history," I reminded.

"At least I have a history you'll never have," he fired.

"What did you say?" I yelled and raised my fist at him.

"Nothing, boss," he replied hastily.

"Get ready. We'll be going to the restaurant in a bit," I ordered and rummaged my closet for something.

"Okay. Okay,"

"And get it ready. The reservation should be explicit. Pay for the whole day if you can. I don't want anybody in the restaurant. Just the food. No people, no nothing,"

"Ah yai, boss!"

°°°°°°°°°°°

"Do you see her anywhere?" Adrian asked in the device hidden between his shirt buttons.

"Yeah. She just got in. Better don't mess this up!" I warned.

"Yeah, yeah. Like you could do better,"

"What did you say?"

"Shut up. I think she's here,"

"Hello, Cameron," she said as she sat on the chair.

"Hi. Nice to see you once again," Adrian replied.

"Yeah. I must say, those sunglasses by this time of the day is seriously - awkward,"

"I'm feeling better than ever," he replied clumsily and I just hissed.

"So, what are we ordering?" she asked as she grabbed the menu.

"Anything,"

"Okay. You order. I'm not hungry" she returned the menu and stared.

"Okay, let's just talk. Okay?"

"Okay," she replied with a shrug.

"So, what do you think about me - like, our relationship," he started foolishly. That was exactly why he hardly got a girlfriend.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Like - what do you feel about us?" he asked again and I felt like punching him right in the face for being such a clumsy clown.

"Oh, us. There's so much to us, Cameron. You know that," she replied and placed a palm over his.

I just prayed Adrian's little Adrian didn't go rising up. There must have been a celebration in his head right then.

"I am so glad you think that. It feels good," he replied and she smiled warmly.

She was so stupid to not know that that fool for the devil isn't her lover. Ha!

"But I have a little problem," she started again.

"Ask her what it is!" I urged.

"As her what it is!" he yelled to her.

"Excuse me?" she asked.

"Adrian, you are such a fool!" I yelled angrily.

"Adrian, you are such a fool!" he yelled at her.

"Excuse me?" she asked again.

"Tell her you're sorry!" I thundered!

"Tell her you're sorry!" he yelled with fright in his voice.

He went dumb when I yelled. In fact, he went dumb all the time. He was naturally dumb.

"Oh, I should tell her i'm sorry. I get it now," he whispered awkwardly and I just hissed, disappointed.

"Care to explain what's happening?" she asked.

"Its nothing. Just a reaction to this medicine," he lied horribly.

"And I should believe that?" she asked.

"Yeah. Its a medicine for my ear and tongue. Its called eartonguelitis,"

I face palmed. Adrian!!

"Okay. That's disturbing and I've never heard of that. Care to explain more?"

"No, not really. Back to what you were saying,"

"Okay, I have a huge problem. Its Caden. The bitch i'm supposed to get married to,"

Seriously? I was the bitch? She was insane.

"what about him?" he asked.

"He's been the worst. He's been maltreating me, bringing whores home, and telling me to do shit," she replied with a frown.

She had the guts! She was gonna pay dearly.

"I am so sorry to hear that," he sympathized.

"He's been telling me a ton of shit and he's been locking me up in the house and beating me up and threatening me," she pushed on.

That was not true. What a lying snake!

"That's disheartening,"

"The worst part is, he's constantly been raping me and he threatened to kill me this night if I don't give in to - -"

"Shut the fuck up, bitch! You are such a lying ass!" I barged in, interrupting her and running to their table.

"Oh, I knew it! How low can you stoop, Caden?" She yelled.

"What do you mean by you knew it?" I asked.

"Seriously? Having an awkward side kick whose voice could echo through the whole house and rat out the whole conversation? And just a pair of sunglasses cannot change a person's appearance. And just so you know, Cameron messaged just about the time you did," she shot.

"So, you finally admit to be cheating on me?"

"Shut up, lying shithole! Don't you dare change the topic. You and your incompetent awkward and clownish sidekick have been stalking me. Admit it!" she yelled.

"And so what if?"

"That's great to know! Now we see who's fallen in love!"

"Love? How did that even get into the topic? You're delusional!" I spat in my defense.

"You're the delusional one. Just admit it already!"

"There's nothing to admit. The marriage is just a setup, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, it is. So stop stalking me and lecturing me on how to live my life because as far as I'm concerned, it's none of your business! Get back with that Mackenzie bitch and have a life!"

"How did she even get into the topic?" I cried out.

"You ask me. How did Cameron become any of your business?"

I stared at her angrily. She had crossed the limits.

"You better warn yourself Mr. Kensington junior, because I wasn't joking when I mentioned the restraining order!" she warned and snatched her bag from the chair and dashed out of the restaurant in a haste.

"You are so useless! I hate you!" I thundered angrily at Adrian and rained punches on his face.

"I'm sorry," he managed to apologize.

"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled and continued with the punches as he bled and my anger increased.

I finally let go when he passed out on the floor.

Bitch!

"I'm coming for you, Mercedes!" I yelled as I clenched my fists and dashed out of the empty restaurant angrily, headed to my car and driving out in full speed.

"Just watch out, Mercedes. I pray I don't get to see you're corpse this night. Even if my prayers never get answered....." I whispered to myself.

She was going to get it really hot. Really, really hot.
