Stanton Box Set

“That dude we met in Australia. Psychologist, author,” Joshua replies.

“Oh yeah, that one. You went on about him for a week, looks like you might be getting some head tonight after all.” Cameron smiles, making Joshua laugh.

“This is not funny. Does everything come back to head with you?” I stammer, exasperated.

Cameron smiles and shrugs his shoulders. “Basically,” he replies.

“How did I rope myself into this? I don’t want him to come over here. What was I thinking?”

Joshua’s eyes light up. “You were thinking that Cameron and I needed some comedy entertainment tonight.” He smiles broadly as he winks.

“Stop it,” I snap. “You two had better be on your best behaviour. Or I fucking mean it, you are both dead.”

Cameron laughs. “We will be on our best behaviour. Naked, but well behaved.”

I roll my eyes. “Great, something to look forward to,” I say deadpan. “I don’t even remember what he looks like.”

“I do. He’s hot.” Joshua smirks. “Give me your phone.” He takes my phone off me and starts to google him.

“Why did you say I would cook, asshole? Why don’t you fucking cook?” Cameron throws me a dirty look.

“Because that’s just too try hardish. What, so he sits at the bench while I cook in the kitchen? I’m not fucking Nigella Lawson.”

“Why didn’t you say I would cook?” Joshua smirks as he scrolls through my phone.

“Probably because you can’t cook, dumbass.”

Joshua laughs as he hands me the phone. “Yep. Like I said.”

My eyes scroll down the length of the screen as I feel my nerves rise. He is more than hot, he’s damn delicious. “What the hell will I wear?” I splutter.

“Naked on first dates always works for me.” Cameron lays his head back to the sun to catch the rays on his face as he swigs his beer.

I roll my eyes at Josh. “Can you be fucking serious for one minute Cameron? Why is everything a joke to you?”

“Probably because you are always so serious and Joshua is so fucking boring at the moment with his little broken heart routine. Someone around here has to have some fun.”

“Fair call,” Joshua replies.

“What’s the look you are going for?” Cameron sighs.

“Not trying.”

Joshua smiles. “That’s easy then. You should wear flannelette pyjamas.” He takes a drink from his shake.

My eyes widen in horror. “You’ve lost the plot. You like Natasha in flannelette pyjamas.”

He smiles as he folds his arms behind his head. “Yep, that‘s what’s so hot about Tash. She doesn’t try to be sexy at all. She looks sexiest to me when she is wearing flannelette pyjamas, her pink fluffy slippers and her hair in pigtails with her glasses on.”

Cameron pulls a disgusted face and I nod in agreement with him.

“Sounds like a bad Taylor Swift film clip.” I do a fake shiver.

“I never thought I would like that either,” he replies wistfully. “There is a certain level of comfort when you realise it’s not the packaging you want in someone.”

Cameron rolls his eyes. “Oh god, your soppy shit is driving me fucking nuts. Man the fuck up,” he snaps bringing a smile to my face.

“What are you cooking Cameron?” I ask.
