I feel her smile on my chest before she says, “Thank you Campbell. It was perfect.”

I hug her tight before I let go to capture her mouth. This kiss is slow, like we are both trying to make the other understand we are starting to have feelings for each other.

We finally pull back and I cup her face, “I’ll text you later beautiful.” I kiss her cheek and she walks across the hall.

I am in the shower reflecting on my night with Campbell. It was the most comfortable, romantic and sexy night I have ever shared with someone. He is just amazing. When I told him I felt like this was a dream, I meant it. It all seems too good to be true. I hated to have to leave, but I really do have a lot that I need to get done before class tomorrow.

I finish up in the shower, put on a pair of yoga pants, tee shirt, and pull my wet hair into a bun. I walk out of the bathroom to find the girls sitting on the couch staring at me.

“Well get your ass over here and tell us everything. I mean everything Kenz, don’t leave anything out or I will bitch slap you.” Maddie says smiling.

I roll my eyes and walk over to sit on the couch.

“Fine, I’ll tell you what a fucking amazing night I had.” I start to giggle and they both join me. I tell them everything about last night. Except the part about lying where I grew up. I tell them about dinner, the carriage ride, and the amazing no sex, sex we had. By the time I am done, they both are smiling as big as I am.

“That is so romantic and hot.” Becca says.

“I completely agree, Kenz. Campbell is not only hot as fuck, he is a gentleman, and great in the sack, and that’s without even having sex. You lucky bitch.”

I can’t get the ridiculous smile off my face. I feel like I am lucky.

“As much as I would love to sit and talk all day, I have laundry and that paper I need to finish.” Both agree they have things that need to be done.

“Hey who is going food shopping today?” I yell on my way to collect all my dirty clothes.

“It’s Becca’s turn.” Maddie answers. Good, I have too much that needs to be done.

I am down in the laundry room switching my clothes when the door opens. I hate being down here, it always gives me the creeps. I look over my shoulder to see who it is, and I am greeted by Dick’s smiling face.

“Hey, Kenz. How are you?”

I smile back and say, “Hi. I’m good, thanks. How are you?”

He throws his clothes into the washer next to mine, starts it, and jumps up to sit on top of it.

“Can’t complain. It will be nice when all this fucking unpacking is done. It’s unreal how much shit, three guys can have.” He says with a chuckle.

I have to agree, I was surprised to see the amount of boxes in the apartment.

“You’ll get it done. Hey, did you guys have fun last night with Maddie and Becca? I forgot to ask them.”

“Well let’s see. Young was a perverted shit. We drank way too much, laughed a lot, and got the girls to watch a dude flick. Yep, it was a pretty awesome night. How was your night?” he asks with a grin, because I’m sure Campbell told him already.

“It was perfect. Campbell is a really great guy, I like him a lot.” I confess to him.

He gives me a wink and says, “Well that’s good to hear because my boy has got it bad for you. He’s done nothing but talk about you for weeks now. I’m glad you put him out of his misery. Campbell is my best friend; he will do anything for anyone. He’s had my back more times, than I care to admit. I just want to see him happy. You make him happy, Kenz.” I blush at everything he just admitted to me. “Don’t be embarrassed, Kenz. I’m not telling you this to embarrass you. I just want you to know that everything he does is because he cares.”

I look over at him and shake my head.

“It’s all so amazing, Dick. I feel like this can’t be real. How is it possible that a guy can be so perfect?” He laughs at me, and I feel like an idiot until he explains.

“Kenz, he is far from perfect, believe me. He just knows how to treat a lady. I can’t imagine him ever being an asshole to a lady. To Young and me, he can be a complete douche. But he is the most level headed out of all of us, and I’ve never seen him like this before.”

“Thank you, Dick. You’re a great friend to Campbell. He’s lucky to have you.”

I grab my clothes out of the dryer and tell Dick I will see him later. On the

walk back to the apartment, I think of everything Dick just told me. It is obvious that he loves Campbell and wants what is best for him. I certainly hope I can live up to such high expectations. The only thing that he said that I could have disagreed with was the Campbell wasn’t an asshole to ladies. He may not be anymore, but he used to be. Honestly, when I am with Campbell or think about him, I don’t see that asshole from high school. I see the man he is now, and I really like that man.
