"She's my aunties boyfriends daughter," I admitted, after Luke continually nagged and nagged and nagged.
Luke just stood there staring as if I had just told him that I was pregnant, then after a while he started to grin, "Cameron, you, are a bad boy!" I agued that nothing had ever happened between us, it's just that we appreciate each other's company. "A LOT!" teased Luke.
"Ok, so when was the first time you ever met?" He asked.
I 'umm'ed and 'arhh'ed for a bit and then answered, "My neighbours place, we were having an Easter lunch, and she was at her dads that weekend so yeah." "Oh my God, that is seriously the most romantic thing I have ever heard," Luke replied sarcastically, "oh shut up!" I complained, then continued, "I didn't really take much notice of her then, just that she was pretty. She was mainly hanging out with my cousins, Nayomii and Jakobus. I actually don't think we talked at all.
Anyways I didn't think I was ever gonna see her again, and then my Aunty said that we were all going somewhere for a surprise, we all met up at her house, my cousins, Jakobus, Nayomii and Jai, my sisters, Jaylin and Alex, our neighbour, Samuel, and Jhorgia-Lee and her 10 year old brother, Jaymee.
Me and Jacob and Jhorgia-Lee were all put into the same car, with her dad driving, we didn't really talk and she seemed pretty quiet,
like she had a lot to say, but didn't say it.
The secret place we were going to turned out to be a trampolining place, Gravity Zone.
When we got there I just completely forgot about her and ran off with Jakobus he is a year younger than me, so the same age a Jhorgia-Lee. Anyway, we get along way too well for cousins."
"Jeez tell me your life story while your at it".
"Luke, do you want too hear the story it not?" I said getting I little frustrated. He just moaned and said, "fine".
So I continued.
"The next time I remember seeing her was when we went out for dinner, for her dad (Tommy), and my auntie's (Jaklyn) birthday. They don't share a birthday, but, they were only a few day apart, so we thought, why not?
She was already there when we arrived, and she looked amazing, wearing a short lacy black dress, and her hair curled, with a tiny little, silver stud on her left nostril, I didn't notice her piecing before, maybe she had just gotten it done, I don't know.
Anyway we sat down at the Lapocetta, and just talked, everyone was there, expect for the little kids, Jaylin, Alex, and Jai.
After a little bit we ordered, I ordered a salad bowl, I she just had a bowl of chips, but she only ate maybe half of it.
After we had all finished eating, we just talked. it was nice, just sitting there, talking, laughing.
And it was then, in that moment, that I realised. That her laugh, was so amazing, and I just never wanted it to stop."
The bell rang shortly after I had finished talking, at it was home time, finally.
I told Luke that I would continue talking about it tomorrow, and then said goodbye.
