Cameron isn't my boyfriend.

He is more of a fuck buddy.

He and I met during our first year of high school and long story short he and I got closer throughout the years and became friends. A few months after high school is when we started messing around. I met his friends and got a little close with them and then Cameron and I started to feel an attraction with one another, and we ended up having sex one night and doing that over and over and over and over.

He says that he wants a relationship, but I don't because if I do then that will complicate things for me since I am the soon-to-be leader of my mafia and having him caught up in it all will just mess everything up.

Besides, I don't have any feelings for him. I just think he is hot and good in bed. He doesn't mind being fuck buddies but he did say that he likes me and I told him I didn't want to complicate things but we both made an agreement that we were just going to be fuck buddies and not do anything else with any other people.

Now that might be hard for me since I am a seductress and assassin, but I have to do what I have to do and what Cameron doesn't know won't hurt him. Plus, I am not fucking anyone, just kissing, that is the farthest I have ever done with anyone on a mission.

Cameron and his friends know nothing about me being in the mafia or what my job is and requires.

"How was dinner with your family?" Cameron asks, looking down at me.

"Good. We had risotto and then tiramisu."

"Sounds delicious," Cameron says with a smirk. "I have a gift for you, but you might have to wait for a few hours," Cameron whispers in my ear.

I chuckle. "Okay, let's start the party first."

The DJ in the room starts playing music making all of us dance for a little while before ordering drinks.

After many shots, we are a little tipsy while dancing. Jane and I are singing the lyrics of the song that was playing while everyone else just dances.

I don't really go out a lot with Cameron and his friends because I am always busy.

I mean, after high school I mainly focused on trying to learn how the role of being a Donna works and how to be a successful leader. I know for a fact that I will have to end things with Cameron and that I won't be able to see him anymore which I am okay with, but it sucks that I won't be able to speak to him. I just don't want to risk anything if I keep this relationship with him.

As I am dancing with the girls and Jane, I see Cameron give me a look. But it wasn’t seductive or teasing, it was a look that begged me to come to him.

I walk away from the girls and go over to Cameron. "What's wrong?" I furrow my eyebrows.

He stands up from the couch. "I have to go. My mom just told me that my sister was admitted into the hospital. She fainted."

"Oh no, of course. You should go," I say while giving him a worried look. "Is she okay though?"

"Yea my mom just texted me," Cameron says looking at his phone. "It was really bad this time, so she just wanted to take her to check and see if she was okay."

His sister has severe anxiety, so she probably fainted from a panic attack. I met his sister, and she is super sweet. She is around Killian's age, and I am pretty sure they go to the same school.

"Do you know if she is taking her medication or if it's working?"

I don't know how these kinds of things work because I have never dealt with anxiety or panic attacks.

"I don't know. That's why she is at the hospital because she hasn't had a panic attack this bad since before she started taking medication."

"Okay, well text me when you get there and let me know how she is doing,” I state and wrap my arms around him. "She will be okay," I state softly.

I have a lot of sympathy for Cameron. He has been through a lot. His dad left him when he was just a kid and the last time he saw him was at his graduation and he got in a fight with him, I guess. Then he has to help his mom out since she never really does anything. I wouldn't say she is a bad mom, but she looks drained every time I see her.

"Okay," he says and let’s go of me. "Happy birthday," he whispers before leaving.

Five

I join the girls on the dance floor.

I don't bother getting another drink because I don't feel like drinking anymore. Now I am just worried about Cameron's sister.
