Sweet Little Thrills (boyxboy)

Chapter 9

"Woohoo! Finally, the day is done! Finite!" I sang with joy, spinning in a circle. 

"Just get out of the store already." Jerry said, sighing irritably. 

"Well, excuse me. Someone hasn't been getting any nookie lately." I said, and Derek busted up laughing. 

"Screw you. Actually, nevermind that." Jerry said with a scowl.

"Nookie...?" Camden mumbled curiously beside me. I snickered, wrapping an arm around him and steering him out of the store. 

"You will someday know of nookie, Camden. Don't you worry," I said, giving a wave to Jerry and a quick warning look, silently telling him I was still keeping an eye out. And not for Selener. He raised an eyebrow at me, but waved back. 

"For some reason, thinking of Camden and nookie just disturbs me." Derek said, and I snapped back to our current conversation. 

"W-What? Why?! Is nookie some sort of d-drug?" Camden asked, alarmed. 

"No! God, no, why are you so ill informed on the ways of the world?" Derek asked incredulously. 

"I find his innocence and purity appealing!" I said, grinning at Camden's resulting blush. 

"Hey Cam, setting your virtue aside for the moment, where did we park?" Derek asked, looking around the parking lot. 

We stopped walking, looking around. "Huh. This lot is pretty small, we should be able to see your car right away...and Derek, don't say where did 'we' park, you boorish asscrack. Cam is the only one who parked." I said, looking around the lot. 

"You bitch. Don't call me-" 

"M-My car isn't here." Camden stated, cutting Derek off. He looked shocked. 

"What, are you sure?" I asked, looking around more seriously. I definitely didn't see it. Not only was the lot small, but Cam's car was pretty old fashioned; that is to say, it stood out. 

"Well, crap," Derek said, running a hand through his hair. "Either Cam's car got stolen, or someone leaned against it's invisibility button." 

"Oh shit! Ruffians, hoodlums! I'll kill them! Where are they? Those cowards!" I ranted, pacing. 

"Cool your jets there, Yosemite Sam. There's nothing we can do about it now." Derek said. 

I looked at Cam, who was standing silently. "Cam, i'm really sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to help me out, this wouldn't have happened." I said, furrowing my eyebrows. If only I had left him out of this-

"I-It's not your fault, Kai," Camden said, putting a hand on my arm and looking up at me with an unusually calm smile. "It's not anyone's fault. No b-big deal, my parents didn't p-pay for that car anyway." 

I looked down at him, my heart constricting a bit. His smile is so calm, and there really is no worry evident in his eyes; yet why I do I feel so uneasy about his reassurance?

"As much as I love watching you two stare into each other's eyes, we should probably report this to the police." Derek said, leaning an arm on my shoulder. 

I glared at Derek, about to shove him off me when I noticed Camden suddenly went pale. "W-We can't go to the police!" He said, one hand gripping my sleeve as he looked at us desperately. Derek and I looked at each other. 

"Why not?" We asked in unison, then glared at each other. Camden gulped, taking a deep breath to calm himself. 

"You j-just can't, okay? Trust me, I-I'll be better off if you don't. Okay? Please?" Camden said, pleading. His lower lip trembled slightly.
