rookie - chris "ct" tamburello

chapter four

After our kiss, CT said goodnight and went to his bed.

I couldn't sleep right away. There was too much on my mind. The kiss played over and over.

I got up and went outside. There was a beach nearby, so I went and sat in the sand, staring at the stars.

Eventually, I saw a shadow behind me. "Hey, is everything okay?" It was Natalie.

"Hey," I paused, "yeah everything is good. Really good."

"What happened?"

"Well CT and I kissed."

She paused for a good five minutes, "Oh? Is that a good thing?"

"I'm not entirely sure. I mean he is nice and sweet to me, but we've seen his past, I don't know if I would want to deal with that. But he's so attractive."

"Well if you want him, go get him."

I rolled my eyes, "That's not helping, I need to decide because I don't want to lead him on, and then just be like, hey just kidding I don't like you," I bit my lip. I really liked CT. In fact I'm pretty sure if things kept going i was going to be in love with CT but what if it didn't work. I wanted to stay friends with him but he probably wouldn't want to.

"Listen," Ninja started, "I can't decide for you, that's something you'll need to do by yourself."

I knew she was right, "I just don't know what to do."

"You don't need to decide right now."

"Yeah you're right," I sighed, "I'll decide sooner or later."

I heard a voice come from behind us, "Decide what?" It was CT.

"I thought you were sleeping," I told him.

"Well I was then I saw you left so I wanted to make sure that you were okay," this man had me head over heels. He was actually so sweet.

"Well I'm okay," I smiled, but it was more of a smirk he smirked back and it made me blush a little, "Thank you for your concerns."

"Yep, I guess I'll just go back now," I didn't want him too really but I didn't want to call him back.

Ninja sighed before talking more, "Do you want me to go get him for you?"

I thought about it, "Yeah, please."

I didn't know what to say, so I was trying to think of something, but nothing was coming to me. I saw his shadow he wasn't moving really though.

Finally he said something, "Hey rookie, I was told you needed me?" He questioned it.

"Yeah, wanna come sit by me?"

He made a disgusted face, "Ugh I guess," and he sat down.

I punched him on the shoulder, "You're so mean," I joked.

He put his arm around me, "Yeah you love it though don't you?"

I smirked, "I'm not sure, do I?"

"You do," he said smiling.

I smiled and leaned my head on his shoulder. It was honestly quite relaxing, I didnt even care there was two cameras on us.

We kind of just sat there for a while, not talking or doing anything. Just sitting there.

Eventually he broke the silence, "We should probably go back."

I sighed, "Yeah tomorrow is the first challenge isn't it?"

"Yep," he got up and held his hand out to help me get up, I took it of course.

"Why thank you kind sir," I smiled.

He kissed my hand, "Why you're quite welcome m'lady."

I was thankful for the dark in this moment because I felt my cheeks flush as his lips touched my hand.

We walked back to the house and he went to the room, I walked over to Ninja's room.

As soon as I got up there, she jumped up and ran over to me, "Sooooooo, how did it go, give me all the juicy details," she sat criss crossed on the bed.

I sat down and and sighed, "I really like him Ninj, he's so sweet. But I'll give you details tomorrow, I'm tired."

"Alright good night," she hugged me.

"Goodnight," I went to my room then fell asleep.
