We could easily explain this away as just meeting up after the game. There isn’t anything there indicating she was coming over so we could be together.
“Maybe we just ignore this then, Cam,” Zhuri says, voice more confident now. “We’ll be more careful, but Jack’s right. There’s nothing actually incriminating in this picture.”
“Yeah,” I agree. “But since we don’t know who sent it, we have to be extremely cautious. It could have been anyone.”
“We’ll be careful,” she nods.
I feel like a weight has been lifted from me.
I didn’t fuck everything up.
I shouldn’t have said anything to Jack, but that isn’t what caused this.
I don’t know who has it out for us, but if I ever figure out who it is, I’ll take care of them myself.
They’d better fucking pray I never find them.

“Youwantanymorewine, Z?” Cameron asks me as he grabs a bottle of Merlot from his bar.
“No, thanks,” I reply. “We have the game tomorrow night.”
Elisabet practically vibrates in excitement beside me. “I’m so glad we have another couple to hang out with!”
Sidney wraps his arm around her before kissing her temple. “No one even knewwewere a couple until last month, Bet.”
“Semantics.” She waves him off. “They know now, and our best friends are together, too! It’s like a big lovefest in here.”
Cam looks at Bet curiously. “Lovefest?”
“Don’t start with me, Kovacic!” Bet points her finger at him.
He throws his hands up. “Noted.”
I just laugh because this issoElisabet. She seems all sweet and innocent, but she’s absolutely crazy sometimes.
“Don’t mind her, babe,” I chuckle, leaning back against my boyfriend.
Cameron kisses the back of my head and wraps his arms around me, resting them over my stomach. “It’s nice being able to do this with people around. I like not hiding you.”
I sigh. “I wish we didn’t have to hide. I don’t like you having to be my dirty little secret.”
His responding smirk is devious. “Dirty? Yes. But, baby, we both know I’m not little.”
“Cameron!” I chastise while he laughs. “Our friends don’t want to hear about your dick.”
“Your girlfriend is correct,” Sidney shudders.
Elisabet bumps him with her shoulder. “I could tell them about yours, so you’re even.”
“Please don’t,” he pleads.
“Fine,” she grumbles, and I can’t help but shake my head.
“You’re fucking unhinged, Bet.”
