Camille's POV

The line rang and rang.

"Hey babe! It's been forever, how are yo-"

"Liv, hi!" I interrupted my best friend, unable to stop the body shakes as I paced my office. "Do you want to go for a coffee?!" I couldn't keep my voice down as my hand violently shook at my ear.

"Right now? Ugh...sure, I just have a meeting at one, so I gotta be ba-"

"Great, I'll see you at The Fat Hen in ten minutes!" I was already closing my office door.

In exactly ten minutes, Olivia sat wide eyed at the bar i

    No one wanted to speak. Suddenly, Lilly closed her mouth and sat silently, as if she was mute."What kind of trouble, Kevin?" Camille repeated the question, directing it at Kevin this time."It was a hazing incident." He finally responded quietly, his arms crossed, "It got out of control. The guy died. They pinned it on me.""Nobody pinned it on you, Kevin," Lilly interjected bitterly, "You did it. Tell her the truth, everything is already a disaster."At this point, Camille suddenly twisted toward me and threw her arms around my neck pulling me into a hug. "I'm right here, baby, okay? We can leave whenever you want." I whispered into her lips, her distraught eyes finding mine. She nodded as I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and with a heavy sigh, turned back to her family."He was a first year student," Kevin restarted, "And it was initiation week. Everyone was wasted. I locked him out in the cold. He got hypothermia." Kevin spilled the facts so mechanically, like he was readi

    Trigger warning: racial slursJames's POVI was married to Camille. I repeated that sentence over and over to myself, just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. She was my wife. Just how I always wanted it and pictured it.We hadn't said anything to Emily yet and decided that we would have a wedding at some point, and Emily could participate.Camille 'cuddled' in bed with me at night. She slept in my bed, beside me, touching me, breathing the same air. We turned the bedside lamps off together and she would scoot over to my side of the bed and press her body into mine, our breaths calming each other down.But the sudden change in my life brought on my nightmares again. I would have recurring nightmares, no - visions of the past whenever my life was in a flux. And it happened again."Well, well, well, if it isn't officer Brooks."The cold voice sent a real shiver down my spine. Fuck.It had been one week in prison and I was seriously considering suicide. It was hell. The inmates were her

    Camille's POVWe couldn't untangle. Alone in the house, this became our little safe haven, to reconnect, to see each other again, to feel, to remember just how much we loved each other.How much we missed out on."I love you, baby." James's fingers ran through my hair as I laid on top of him, still on the floor, his cum oozing out of me, like proof that this wasn't a dream. There was proof. His cum was inside me - this wasn't a figment of my imagination."I love you, too." My lips were smushed against his cheek, all of me burning at the reality that I was living.And the reality was simple. That weekend we did nothing but fuck. It wasn't a one time act. It was that neither one of us could possibly stop touching each other.In a haze, after that intense orgasm - a feeling I had only been able to gift myself in the decade without him, I stood in his kitchen and made dinner, like we were a couple. My mind was frayed. Last week, I did the same with Mark, my mental state depressed and heav

    James's POVIf life had blessings and angels in it, surely Camille was an angel. She lived in my house. In my house.Camille was in my house.I couldn't believe it. My world filled up with divine light.Emily loved her. Every morning, Emily would jump into my bed for morning cuddles, at the bright and early time of six thirty. This was our ritual, and she would always tell me about her dreams and fears while I tried to stay awake after the minimal sleep I received every night. Since Camille had been staying with us, Emily would talk my ear off about how much she enjoyed having Camille around.I knew I had to discuss our future with Camille, but there were too many things happening at once and both her and I just wanted peace. We both just wanted to be, to exist together in the same space. To reconcile with the fact that we didn't hate each other.It was Friday evening as I stood in my shower and daydreamed about Camille. I had just dropped Emily off at grandma's for the weekend, it ha

    What did I ever do to deserve this? I didn't know if I believed in past lives but in this moment, I wondered if I had done something horrible in a past life. And what about this life? Was I just going to let everyone walk all over me and then turn the other cheek? Never responding? Never getting my reveng-"Camille?" A deep and familiar voice interrupted my ruminations, "Do you want to make dinner together?"Together. Yes, I wanted to do things together.With Emily safe and sound in bed at the ripe time of seven thirty in the evening, it was just me and James, in his huge house, in his kitchen."Sit." But before I could even register his words, I was already up in the air, James 's strong hands on my waist, placing me on the counter top. His hands on either side of my hips, he leaned in, the look in his eyes dangerous, daring, and his lips so perfectly plump and delicious. "What would Camille like for dinner?" His eyes jumped down to my lips, but I leaned back, my body tingling at the

    Camille's POVMy arms around his neck and my legs around his hips, I held onto James as he gently supported me and carried me into his house. Up the stairs we went, into a room with a large king sized bed, two huge windows looking out onto the backyard, and an ensuite big enough to be a whole room by itself, probably the size of our rooms growing up.He placed me on the vanity in the bathroom, all his movements calm and precise. Silently, he turned the shower on and checked the water to make sure it wasn't too hot. I was motionless, staring into nothing. Mute, speechless, afraid to turn and look at myself in the mirror."You have a tiny cut here, baby," James spoke quietly and reached for my cheekbone, "Let's get you into the shower and then I'll put some cream on it, okay?"He wore the same light blue t-shirt as this afternoon, splashed with Todd's blood. But he looked nothing like that man. His expression softened, he was back to being James, my James, the same man I knew and loved
