It was night, about 7:00. I had about an hour and a half to get ready for my date with Cam. So I figured, I might go take another shower to freshen up.
I get out, wrapping a towel around myself as I start to brush my teeth. I brushed them like 5 times to make sure my breath wouldn't kill anyone if I were to talk to them. Once I was done cleaning my teeth, I began to blow-dry and straighten my hair. Once I did that, I got out some makeup and started to apply some. I put on some mascara with a little eyeliner, some concealer, a little blush, and some red lipstick.
I then walked to my closet and picked out the cutest outfit I could find. It consisted of a pair of dark high-waisted jean shorts with a plain white fringed crop-top. I tied a red and blue plaid shirt around my waist, and slipped on a pair of my white vans.
I go back to the mirror to re-examine myself and make sure I look cute enough for the date. I did. If Cam doesn't compliment me, I may just die. I mean, I'm already dying inside because I'm actually going on a date with Cameron. I've had a crush on him ever since I first saw him about a year and a half ago. He is so perfect, and if this works out, he will be all mine.
I hear my phone ding. I went and grabbed it off my dresser. The time read 8:00. I have about 10 minutes before I have to leave, since it take about 10-15 minutes to get there. I unlocked it and it was a message from Hannah. It read: "Hey girl, don't forget about your date with Cam tonight! Oh and also, carry some gum or mints with you lol." I reply: "lol okay, I won't forget. I'm already dressed and ready to leave. I'm just waiting till 8:10 to leave. Oh, and don't worry I'll tell you the details once it's over..." She texts back: "Okay girl, have fun. Love you!" I reply: "Love you too :)"
I went and sat on my bed, staring at my phone, trying to make the time go by faster. It was 8:08, almost time to go. I start to get up fixing my hair, re-brushing my teeth, fixing my clothes, and then spraying some perfume on me, while I unwrapped a piece of minty gum and put in my mouth.
I look at my phone, it read 8:10. I quickly go downstairs, grab my keys, and walk out the door, slamming it, and locking it behind me.
I didn't have to leave a note or anything because my parents were out of town for the whole weekend and wouldn't return until Monday or maybe even Tuesday.
I walk to my car, open the door, and shut it. Putting on my seatbelt, I crank the car and put it in reverse and drive off. I look at the clock on the radio and it reads, 8:13. I thought, 'okay I am not gonna be late, this is good.'
I hate driving without music, so I turned on the radio. As soon as I did, I heard Shawn Mendes' song, 'Something Big.' I start fangirled, turned it all the way up and jammed out to it. After the song went off, I glanced at the clock, it read, 8:22. I said, "okay, I'm almost there..." starting to get a little nervous. I just kept breathing, and telling myself to calm down.
I finally arrived at the store, parking in the back. My music is still as loud as it was when I was driving. I turn off my car as I waited for the clock to say 8:30 on the dot. I look at the time, it read 8:28. Sitting there, I turned down the music, while I checked my phone for any notifications or messages. I only had one, and it was from twitter. It said Cameron tweeted saying, "got big plans for tonight."
My heart started beating faster. It just now hit me that I am the one he has big plans for. It could be anyone else in the entire world, but it's me.
I look up at the clock, and it says 8:30 exactly. I pull out the piece of gum I was currently chewing and put in a fresh new piece. I get out, shutting my door, and locking the car behind me. I walk up to the back door, I stop before opening it, making sure I look cute. Which I did.
I took a big breath, and slowly open the door, all of the lights were off. I didn't see or hear anything. This was weird. I quickly grab my phone and turn on the flashlight. I begin to look around yelling, "HELLO....CAM? ARE YOU HERE?" No response. I became disappointed and started to cry, as I walked towards the door. I opened it, and it slammed shut behind me. I walked to my car, unlocking it and opened my car door. I heard a loud slam behind me. I looked around wiping my eyes. It was Cameron. I began to get in the car. He ran towards me, picking me up out of my car, saying, "hey, where are you go-wait why are you crying?" He cupped my face wiping my tears with his hands. My makeup smeared a little, but I didn't care. I looked into his big brown eyes and replied, "I thought you weren't going to be here...." I started to tear up again. He smiled at me and said, "hey babe, don't cry. I told you I was going to be here. I wasn't lying when I told you that. I was just putting the finishing touches on something..." I giggled a little, drying my eyes, "something? what is it?" "Close your eyes and I'll lead the way..." he said, taking my hand. I just laughed and went along with it.
He stopped suddenly. I kept walking, not know he stopped, causing me to bump into him. "Oops, my bad. I didn't know we were stopping," I said. He replied, "yeah, I just have to go do something wait out here. When I knock on the door three times, you can come inside. Oh and you can uncover your eyes now by the way." He chuckled at how cute you looked.
I stood there waiting as I started to hear a knock. There was one, then another, and then a third. I began to laugh as I opened the door. I walked inside and the room was pitch black...again. I yelled out, "CAMERON? HELLO?" No response. I walked in some more and the door slammed behind me.
I got out my phone and unlocked it. As soon as I did, I heard a click. I looked around as all the lights began coming on one by one. Cam was standing in middle of the store with a dozen roses in one hand, and a teddy bear in the other smiling with that beautiful smile of his. My hands folded together and covered my mouth and there were tears in my eyes. Walking towards him, I noticed rose petals on each side of te trail leading to Cam. I honestly didn't know whether to smile, laugh, or cry. So I just did all three.
He was laughing and smiling, said, "hey, don't cry. All of this is for you." I wanted to reply, but was just in shock. No one has ever done this for me before. I just wanted to hug and kiss him to thank him for everything.
He grabbed me and wrapped me into a hug, giving me the roses and the teddy bear that said my name on it. I loved it. It was so sweet of him to do all this. He quickly pulled away, saying, "you ready?" I looked at him, a little confused. I said, "ready for what?" He smiled and said, "well, we have reservations for 2 at the best restaurant in LA." I smiled really big and said, "oh my god, are you serious? wait, do I need to go home and change? like is it really formal?" He looked at me and laughed saying, "oh, no. you look perfect.(no sarcasm implied) so, are you ready to go?" "Yeah, I'm starving.." I said smiling. He just laughed and took your hand, leading you outside to his car. "I'll drive" he said. I nodded and followed behind him.
We arrived at his car. I began to open my door when he yells, "WAIT, don't." I freeze. He runs to my side and opens my door for me. 'He is such a gentleman' as I think to myself. Smiling I say, "why thank you Cameron." He smiles and says, "anything for you." He shuts the door behind you, as you buckle yourself in. He runs to the other side, opening his door. He sits down, and closes the door behind him. He then puts his seat belt on too, cranking the car and driving off.
He looks over at you, and you smile back at him, telling him how you're excited to be on this date and be with him. He laughed and agreed with you, saying how he was happy to have met you in the first place. It began to get a little awkward because there was nothing to talk about, so he just kept driving, looking straight ahead at the road.
