ear.
    ‘No.’ I squeak, as his hand moves to the
bottom of my back and my heart flutters inside my chest.
    ‘I think you are Lucy, I think the reason
you find it uncomfortable in my company is because your body craves mine.’
    ‘You are very sure of yourself Cameron, aren’t
you?’ I breathe.
    I experience a heavy feeling in my sex at
his words and actions.  His breath is against my neck and for some unknown reason
instead of moving away, I move towards him.
    ‘Have you always done what you are told Lucy?’
he whispers, ‘who has the right to tell you who you can, and can’t enjoy?’
    ‘Cameron,’ I warn, I have had too much to
drink and the surrounding room fades.
    ‘What Lucy?’ he continues, as he brings
me slowly up against his body, his hand pulling me into him.  I feel my insides
warm and my nipples tighten against my dress.  His mouth is at my ear, ‘can you
feel what you do to me, Lucy?’
    I feel his hardening arousal at my
abdomen and I breathe, deeply butterflies fluttering within.
    ‘Cameron,’ I warn once again and he
reluctantly releases me, leaving me feeling bereft.
    ‘Just say the word, Lucy,’ his face
appears flushed too, his hand moving to his trouser pocket to disguise his
arousal.  I swallow another gulp of wine and attempt to steady my heartbeat. 
Wow, he has skill, Sam informed us he is good in the bedroom department!
    ‘There you are!’ Susie calls,
interrupting us, ‘you ok?’ she observes our close proximity and faces.
    ‘Of course,’ I assure her, moving away
from Cameron.
    I spend the remainder of the evening in
close contact to Susie, while Simon and Cameron chat and laugh, totally at ease
in each other’s company.  I find myself watching Cameron through my peripheral
vision for the second time, aware of when his glance is on me.  Only on one
occasion do our eyes lock the world outside fading into significance.
    When Susie and Simon go to bid goodnight
to their friends we find ourselves alone. 
    ‘It’s been a lovely evening,’ I attempt
to break the silence.
    ‘Indeed,’ Cameron replies sternly.
    I turn to him, ‘are you mad at me?’
    ‘Why would I be mad at you?’
    ‘Why are you answering a question, with a
question?’ I frown.
    He sighs, a smile twitching, ‘point taken.’
    After a short while he answers, ‘are you
a good, sensible girl Lucy?’
    I contemplate the question for a moment
before answering, ‘yes!’
    ‘You never color outside of the lines do
you?’
    ‘Why do you express that as if it is an
insult?’ I question.
    ‘Why are you answering a question, with a
question?’ he throws my words back at me.
    I find this conversation exasperating so
glance at my watch, ‘I need to go,’ I inform him, my eyes searching for Susie.
    ‘Stay with me tonight,’ he whispers
quietly.
    ‘You know I can’t,’ I whisper back,
avoiding his gaze knowing full well I want to.
    ‘Why?’ his hand finds mine, tugging until
I am facing him.  His eyes are intense, his mouth set.
    ‘You know why,’ our eyes are connected
and I feel a pull of attraction.
    ‘Because of some fucked up girl-code
between you and a girl you don’t even know, not to mention like?’
    ‘Maybe, I am just not attracted to you
Cameron, have you thought of that?’ my chin tilts defiantly up to him and he
looks murderous for a moment before his face relaxes and he smiles.
    ‘Actually, no I haven’t,’ then his eyes
peek down at me, ‘but I don’t believe it for a moment Lucy.’
    ‘Right, we are off.  What time is your
cab coming, Luce?’ Susie glances down at our still joined hands which I drop
immediately.
    ‘It should be there now, thank you for a
lovely night, Suze.’ I hug her and she whispers,
    ‘And don’t think you aren’t going to be interrogated
on this one!’ into my ear. 
    My lips twitch and Simon kisses me on the
cheek, ‘good to meet you at last Lucy, maybe we will see you again,’ his glance
moves to Cameron.
    ‘I will walk you out,’
