Why would he want me?

Chapter 9: Is this a Joke?

Camerons POV

I can’t believe I let it go so far so quickly! That is not what I meant to do by going over there. I could barely contain my excitement when she told me she was a virgin. I love that she has never been touched and I cannot wait to be the first. I know that seems presumptuous, but there is a connection there and I know she feels it.

I know that there are things that she is hiding, things she has probably never shared with anyone. I can see how she holds her head down slightly; I hear the comments she makes about herself and the deeper meaning behind them. She does not love herself and I can feel it, and I am hoping I can change it.

I drive home with a new determination of showing this girl how glorious she is.

Julie POV

I am in total and complete shock about what just went down in my apartment. The guy I have been having literal s****l fantasies about was in my apartment and touching me. I don’t understand how someone as handsome and fit as him would want anything to do with me, so I am praying this isn’t some kind of cruel joke.

“Oh god, what if it is a joke? What if this whole thing was just for him to get a laugh with his friends?” I start to panic, I don’t know him all that well, is that the type of guy he is? I never thought so but I guess who really knows. I just want to shrivel up into a ball and never leave this place again.

After a while, of self-loathing and doubt, I decide that I need to just dust the dirt off my shoulders and walk into work tomorrow with my head held high. If this was a prank then there isn’t anything I can do about, I doesn’t make sense that he would want a chunky no one and I am not going to concern myself any further with this. What happened, happened and I can’t change it, so I just need to move forward.

I lay in bed and hear my phone ding, picking it up I see a message from Cameron.

Cameron: I really enjoyed seeing you today and spending time with you. I really can’t wait for our date. Does this Friday work for you?

Julie: Are you messing with me? I know that someone like you could have anyone, so if this is just a joke, I ask that you please just leave me alone.

Cameron: Julie this is no way in any form a JOKE! I really want an opportunity to get to know you more and to take you out. Listen I know that you don’t know me well enough, but I promise I am not that guy. I know that you may not see yourself like I do, but please let me have the opportunity to show you what I see.

Julie: Ok..Friday works for me

Cameron: Amazing! I’ll pick you up at 6 o’clock. See you tomorrow.

I hope I am not making a huge mistake, my life may be boring and uneventful, but I would take that over pain and heartbreak any day. I go to sleep hoping the avoid both in the future.
