Chapter 3
1458 Words
I had an entire day planned with Cameron. That did not include Jan at all. If I was to have this romantic adventure with Cameron, then no friends along. I wanted to spend all the time in the world with him.
The time I had right now. I made us a picnic lunch. I planned on taking him to the park. Thankfully it was a nice summer day out. And not a rain cloud in sight. It was the perfect day to take Cameron outside to enjoy the world.
"What are we doing today?" Cameron asks me. He comes over to me. He kisses me on the cheek.
"Well, I planned on taking you to the park. Having lunch. Then teaching you how to play frisbee. Sound like fun?" I ask him.
He nods. Then smiles.
"I like the idea. Sure" he agrees. "What is frisbee?"
"It is a game. I will show you at the park" I promise him. He smiles. His long hair dangles in his eyes. He brushes his hair back. He looked just like my favorite singer. He was perfection.
"What?" he laughs at me.
"You look like Morten. My all time favorite singer. I wonder if you sing like him to?" I ask him.
"Take me onnnn" he tries to sing. Nope he could not hit a note. I giggle.
"Well two out of three are not bad" I tease him. He laughs.
"Ready to go?" I ask him. He nods.
"Ready" he tells me.
We head outside. He carries the whicker picnic basket for me. I carry the blanket and a blue frisbee. We wander into town.
Ladies are already taking notice to handsome Cameron. He is looking around him. At the birds flying overhead. At the shops. All of it. All but the ladies. So far.
"Look at those women staring at you!" I tease him gently as I nudge his side.
"So?" he tells me. "None of them are as pretty as you are" I find myself blushing at his words.
"You will learn otherwise" I promise him.
"No" he says with a smile.
We get to the park. Then I spread the blanket out for us. I then set up the lunch. I wait to spread it out. He was gazing out at the water by the beach we were near. Cameron seemed to really love being outside here. I was happy I took him here.
"What is it?" I ask him. "Are you ready to eat?" I ask.
"This is beautiful. I never have been to the ocean" he tells me.
"That is not the ocean. It is the river" I warn him.
"Oh, it still is pretty" he tells me. I nod.
"Can you teach me how to play frisbee?" he asks me.
"Sure. Then we eat lunch. I get crabby if I do not eat right away" I giggle. I grab the frisbee. "Come stand all the way over there by that bush. I will throw this to you. Then you wait until I throw this to you. You catch it when I throw it. Got it? Then you throw it back to me!" I explain.
♫♪ְֱ ♥ ♫♪ְֱ
He nods.
"Got it" he calls back to me.
We begin to toss the frisbee back and forth. The game was fun. Though his arm was stronger than mine when I tossed it. His went higher up than mine.
We were having a blast. Soon I was out of breath from chasing after the frisbee. We sit down on the blanket together. He hands me a bottle of water. I take a drink.
"That was a blast" I tell him.
"What did you pack for the lunch?" he asks me.
"Tuna sandwiches'. And peanut butter and jelly depending on what you will like. I brought three kinds of chips to. Sour cream and onion. Sour cream and cheddar. Regular. And bar-be-que" I tell him.
"You did all this for me?" he asks me.
"I want your days here to be the best you ever had" I say softly. He grins. He kisses my cheek.
"They already are with you" he promises me. I grin.
We begin to chat and eat. We were having such a good day. I really enjoyed Cameron's company. He was not only handsome but funny and smart. I could get used to having him around. Someone comes up to us. A pretty blond-haired woman.
"Excuse me...but you look just like that singer. From the band A-ha. Are you Morten?" she asks Cameron.
"Oh no...I get that all the time. My name is Cameron" he informs her. He seems flattered by her attention.
"Gosh you must get that all the time" she giggles.
"No not really" he tells her.
"Can I get a photo with you? I can fool my friends into thinking I met Morten" she asks him.
"Sure, why not" he agrees.
♫♪ְֱ ♥ ♫♪ְֱ
He gets up.
They smile and take photos together.
My heart feels a jealous ping inside of me. There was no such thing as a perfect guy. Not even made up ones. I should know better.
They were all alike. I was going to lose Cameron to someone better looking. No doubt. They all walked out of my life. He would do. If he disappeared or if he left for a better-looking woman than me. He would leave me. He comes back over sitting down beside me.
"Hey what is wrong?" he asks me softly. "Was it that woman? I am sorry. I should not have taken a photo with her"
"No worries. Never mind. We are fine" I lie.
"You are upset. What is it?" he asks me softly. He looks at me with concern. "Tell me"
"In the past I had issues with men. They leave me when something better comes along. You might one day to. I will not hold it against you when you do" I say as I shrug my shoulders.
"Hey that is never gong to happen. I am not going anywhere" he promises me.
♫♪ְֱ ♥ ♫♪ְֱ
He leans in. Scooting closer to my side. He touches my chin. Then kisses me. His eyes are looking into mine after the kiss was over with.
"I want to be with you. None of them matter. We are getting to know each other" he tells me. "We have a chance for something real. I am here for you" he reminds me.
I smile feeling shyness wash over me. He kisses me again.
"Let's enjoy this day. Let's eat lunch" he says to me. I nod.
"Tell me all about you" he says as he shares a sandwich with me.
"Alright what do you want to know?" I ask him.
"What kind of work do you do?" he wonders.
"Me? Nothing really. I am working at a coffee house in town" I tell him. "I take orders. Make food"
"Sounds fun" he tells me.
"Maybe I can get you a job there" I offer.
"I would love to work with you" he says with a smile.
"I can see what I can do" I tell him. "I pay for this small apartment I am in. Maybe if you get a job around here we can get a bigger place" I say.
"Maybe. I wish I could find out if I am allowed to stay. I do not want to leave you" he worries. I lay my head on his shoulder and I move closer to his side.
"I want to know to. I am not sure how we can find out" I worry.
"What if we do fall in love with one another. And you are ripped away from me?" he asks me softly. Our hands link together. Our fingers lace together.
He squeezes my hand.
"I don't know" I reply.
"What if I disappear and you forget me?" he worries.
"One thing I know that will happen....I will never ever forget someone like you Cameron" I promise to him. "How can I forget someone as sweet as you?" I ask him. He looks in my eyes. I smile. He smiles.
His hand touches my cheek. He kisses me.
"I want to promise I will not be gone. But I know this. I will fall in love with you. I will be the love you never had. I will not hurt you ever. I want to stay. I want to remain at your side. Maybe this is meant to be. You never know what comes next" he points out gently. His words touch my heart.
"I will be the love you never had...."
"I want that more than anything. I never have really been loved. Truly loved" I whispers softly.
"Let me! Let me love you the way you should be loved" he says softly to me.
He gazes at me. Then leans in stealing a sweet kiss from my lips. Making forget all the right reasons why love is dangerous for the heart.
