“Yeah, I picked up on that.” He chuckles.

“Really?” I smile, looking up at him. “What gave it away?”

“There were a few, but the one that was most noticeable was when you were hiking your leg to pee on me.”

I swat his chest, making him take a step back, laughing.

Ugh, the easy-going, care-free Kris has always been my favorite. The one I can laugh and joke around with. This is the version that really pulled me under when we first got together. And if I’m being honest, it’s the version that tore me up the most when I lost it.

And all those vows I made myself have gone completely out the window.

KRIS

I’m fucking amped up now.

The words“Don’t forget about our plans,”have been the only things on my mind in the last hour.

Ruby and Kaleb arranged for another party bus to come pick everyone up from the venue who wanted to go celebrate another night with them. Although, we’re only staying out a few hours since the wedding is tomorrow and we don’t need the entire wedding party to be completely sloshed for the big day.

We’re seated at the back of the bus, so I have a view of everyone, including Lauren and my dad. Kameron sits next to me, my arm around the back of her seat, while she talks animatedly with Ruby about something. Nothing is registering because I’m too busy staring at Davidson who hasn’t taken his eyes off Kameron since we climbed in.

It’s about as similar as the way Lauren won’t stop looking at me and my brother.

I shiver thinking about it, catching Kameron’s attention.

“You okay?” Her voice filled with amusement.

I smile down at her, before leaning in and pressing a kiss to her cheek.

“I’m perfect.” It’s cheesy, but at this moment I really am.

I’m forcing myself not to think about relationships as much as I can, that fear always ramps up at the back of my head. If I was ever going to settle down with someone, I think it would be Kameron. I just don’t know that I’ll ever truly be to that point, and I don’t want to hurt Kameron when shit hits the fan either.

Because it will.

I glance over at my brother and Ruby. Kaleb is talking to someone sitting next to him, but his hand is in Ruby’s lap and their fingers are linked together. I stare at the large diamond on her finger, and I can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking.

How can he be so confident in what they’re doing? Knowing it’ll all blow up in a few years.

I just hope it happens before they have kids, that way my niece or nephew don’t have to go through the same shit I went through.

Kameron turns toward me, leaning into me slightly.

“Okay, spill. You’re all tense now.”

“Nothing, baby.” I look over at Davidson again, his eyes are still glued to her. “I just don’t like the way Davidson is staring at you.” It’s not a complete lie, it’s just not what was making me tense.

“Well, just ignore him. I’m with you all night.” She leans into me, and on instinct my arm falls from the back of the seat and wraps around her, pulling her closer to me.

“We should really talk about what we’re doing here, Kamelo.”

Her eyes flash at the use of her nickname, and her finger jabs into my ribs.

“Okay, okay. I’m sorry.” That makes her laugh, and the sound goes straight to my dick.

She looks into my eyes, and the mood changes. We’re no longer laughing, and the temp I swear has shot up about twenty degrees.
