Undercover: Book 3 — Chapter 23

“Hey don't hate on my Netflix,” I told her defensively.

“Whatever. Where's Nathan?"

“He should be getting out of class any second,” I told her looking up at the building his lecture is in.

“So where is this boyfriend of yours?" she asked me looking around campus.

“Hanging out with Caiden,” I told her and she smirked.

“Let’s I visit him!" she said excitingly.

"No.” Mia had always had a thing for bad boys. She always wanted to break their shells and figure them out. It was almost like a game to her but she actually liked the guy she doesn't just use the ones she dates.

“Why not?"

“Caiden, will fuck you and dump you,” I told her bluntly and she shrugged.

“He can as long as he's hot.” She winked and I shook my head a smirk appearing on my face.

“You little slut."

“Wifey!" I heard Nick's voice yell and my eyes widened.

“Who are they?" she asked me looking at a certain group of guys making their way toward us.

“They would be the ones I didn't want you to meet.” I winced as she squealed.

“Don't hide your face! Why didn't you tell me you were visiting?" He wrapped his arms around my bare waist.

“Hey that's the hot outfit you were wearing for your graduation,” Kyle said and Nick glared at him.

“I'm not going to ask why you remembered that."

“Claire.” Mia coughed, elbowing me and I closed my eyes for a few seconds before reopening them.

"Nick, I would like for you to meet my whore of a Best Friend Mia. Mia, I would like for you to meet my sex addicted boyfriend,” I introduce and Mia sent me a playful glare. While Nick acted offended.

“Wifey, I'll just pretend you didn't just say that.” He crossed his arms over his chest sticking his nose up in the air.

“You're such a dork,” I peck his lips.

“It's nice to meet you Nick. I'm not actually a whore,” she said, shaking his hand. After shaking hands he pulls my body to his side.

“What do you have planned for today? he asked me not bothering to introduce his friends.

“We were going to get some lunch. Which I told you I was hanging out with Mia today,” I said, narrowing my eye at him and he put on an innocent look.

“You did? I really don't remember,” he said.

“Mia!" Nathan said, smiling widely and pulling her into a bear hug. "Damn I've missed you!"

“Well if you didn't act like such a stranger and actually called me sometime you wouldn't miss me so much,” she said pulling away a smile playing on her lips. My eyes glanced away from the little reunion and landed on Caiden who was looking intently at me. I raised an eyebrow but he continued to look at me as if he was trying to put together a puzzle.

“Are you and your friends going to join us Nick?" Mia asked innocently and I turned my head glaring at her which she ignored.

“We would but I don't think Claire wants us to,” he replied and I looked up at the surprisingly blue sky taking a deep breath.

“You can join us,” I said quickly hoping they wouldn't be able to understand me and would take it as a no.

“This will be such a pleasant outing," Caiden suddenly said making all eyes snap to him.

“Indeed it will be,” I responded, my eyes challenging.

“Hey no females on campus,” a teacher yelled.

“Is there a rule for no cock blocks on campus too?" Mia yelled and we all froze. We could the teacher gasp and he quickly stormed over here.

"Dammit Mia,” I mumbled.

“Who exactly are you? Do you belong to the neighboring school?" he asked, glaring fiercely at her.

“Nah. I would never go to some stuck up bitchy school."

“Language!"

“I'm sure you've said words a lot worse and this isn't elementary school."

“You're right this is an all-boys university so please remove yourself from here!" he demanded.

“How long have you gone without female interaction?" she suddenly asked.

“Excuse me but-"

"By female interaction I mean more along the lines of sexual intercourse."

“You better get your ass out of this parking lot before I call the police!" he yelled and our eyes widened at our business management teacher.

“I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just saying you look as if you're missing something from you middle age life and you look kind of red,” she said, poking his cheek. We were all holding back our laughter as we watched this scene.

“How dare you! I am only twenty eight!"

“Who are you trying to convince me or yourself?"

"Me. Wait no! I meant you or-"

“Shh it’s okay. Just stay calm. I don't want any heart attack in the middle of this parking lot,” she patted his balding spot on the top of his head and he nodded. “Why don't you go back to your class?” He nodded again and started heading back to the front doors. We all bent over holding our stomach well everyone except Caiden who stood suppressing a small smile.

“Mia, this is why I love you,” I told her hugging her.

“I know,” Mia replied, smirking when the teacher realized what had just happened.

“Wait a second,” Mr. Wills yelled and we all shared a look.

“We should get going,” Nathan said.

“We have class in ten minutes sorry guys!" Kyle and Max said, and they both gave us apologetic looks before walking away.

“Caiden aren't you in that class too?" Nick asked.

“Yea, but I'll go some other time,” he said carelessly. “Aren't you going to invite Jason?"

“Oh um he has class right now,” he responded rocking back and forth on his heels something I noticed he liked to do a lot.

“Well most of the day's gone so let's get going!” Mia said, clapping her hands together and I silently thanked her for the subject change.

“Where are we exactly going?" I asked.

“Mr. Hero,” she said opening her car door.

"NO!" Nick and I yelled at the same time.

"Why?" Tom decided to pitch in.

“I'm allergic to their tiles.”

“I found a rat in my food,” I looked at Nick and snorted at his ridiculous excuse.

Allergic to their tiles? Really?

“I'm not even going to bother pretending to believe that since those are both shit excuses but okay. “Mia shrugged getting in. Nathan got passenger seat making me to sit on Nick's lap since Tom didn't want to for obvious reasons.

“How old are you guys?" I blurted out and Caiden rolled his cold, hazel eyes.

“You don't even know how old the guy you're dating is?"

“It never came up," I defended.

“We're twenty, but Caiden is twenty-two,” Nick said and I nodded at this new found information. Nick stared at Caiden for a few minutes and I was about to question it but he started to speak.

“Why are you so talkative today?” Caiden grunted. He glanced at his best friend and then continued to stare out the window at the scenery.

“I don't feel very hateful at the moment, but don't expect me to be like this for long. When your girlfriend opens her mouth I'll be back to normal don't worry,” he said his voice monotone. My eyes narrowed into slits but I kept my mouth closed looking at the back of the black seat. Hearing bits and pieces of Nathan and Mia's conversation. Nick squeezed my hand that he's holding and shook his head.

“That’s my girlfriend you're talking about. I'd watch what you say,” he replied calmly. Caiden didn't respond and only glared out the window. I could tell this was going to be one interesting day.
