She hits next and the most perfect song starts playing instead. It’s on the dirty side, but I love it. Plus, Brent Faiyaz’s voice is so smooth.
The song is called “Dreams, Fairytales, Fantasies” and oh my God, that’s exactly how I feel when I’m with Cam. Like he’s my very favorite dream come true.
Natalie is singing along with the rap parts, impressively knowing every single word, and Joanna is laughing, bopping her head to the beat. It’s only when the song gets to the chorus for the second time that I realize I’m crying.
Bawling, really.
“Oh my God, Blair! Are you okay?” Joanna’s voice rings with concern and she turns down the music, the only sound in the car my sobs.
“Holy shit, get it together girl,” Natalie mutters, making me laugh in the middle of my sobs.
“I’m j-just s-so h-happy,” I explain.
“Yeah, you sound thrilled,” Natalie says.
Joanna reaches over and tries to smack her, which ends with them struggling. Natalie reaches around me from the back seat, a couple of tissues clutched in her fingers and I take them from her, murmuring thank you as I wipe at my face and nose.
“I’m serious, guys,” I say once I’ve got myself together. “I’m happy. I swear. I just—that song got to me. The lyrics.”
“Was it the ‘I’ll put you on a leash’ part? Or the ‘hit it from the back’ part? Because that one is my personal favorite,” Natalie says.
I’m laughing again, and so is Joanna.
“I know it’s not what anyone would consider a romantic song, but the entire chorus is just so good. That’s how I feel when I’m with Cam. It’s like a dream.”
“A fairytale,” Joanna says.
“A fantasy,” Natalie finishes.
We all sigh dreamily, and I know Joanna is thinking about my brother, while I’m sitting over here dreaming about Cam.
“I need to find myself a steady man,” Natalie finally says. “You two are convincing me it’s the right move.”
“Despite my total emotional breakdown?” I ask, teasing.
“Hey, what he did for you today was pretty sweet. And a little overwhelming,” Natalie points out. “I’d be a wreck too.”
“I’m a wreck in a good way,” I admit.
“Totally,” Joanna chimes in. “I know what you’re going through. It’s the best.”
I smile to myself, thinking of seeing Cam later. In his room. Waiting for him naked in his bed. Clutching the steering wheel, I bounce in my seat, giddy with excitement.
Joanna turns the music back up to a normal decibel and we continue chatting, Natalie making us laugh when she keeps telling us stories about the guys during dinner. How she came on to Ace and scared the shit out of him. How she thinks the assistant offensive line coach is hot.
“He graduated a couple of years ago. Knox and Cam played with him when they were freshmen,” I tell them, which, of course, only excites Natalie even more.
“I should go after that dude. He’s only a couple of years older. And hot as hell.” Natalie leans in between our seats, fanning herself.
The music stops, Siri letting me know I have a text from Hottest Quarterback Alive.
Oh hell.
“Hottest Quarterback Alive says, ‘can’t wait to see you later’.”
“Ooooh,” Natalie croons. “You going to answer him?”
“Do you want to reply?” Siri asks.
