The Summer I Met The Girl

CAMERON

Being with Matt makes her heart soar. It's easy, fun, and he makes her so happy.

They've been together a month. One month of pure bliss.

"Is there a honeymoon phase of dating?" Cameron mumbles against Matt's lips.

"Mhmmm. We're in it babe."

Cameron runs her fingers through his hair, "You make me really happy."

Matt looks at her. "You make me happy too."

"Good answer." Cameron kisses him softly. She ignores the growing ache in her lower region. It's all they've been doing the last few weeks. They've been ripping each other's clothes off every chance they get.

Matt's hands trail down her back, and he quickly slides them into her shorts.

"Your family is downstairs," she scolds.

"I can't help it." He mumbles against her neck, "I can't keep my hands off you."

"Not now. I want them to like me."

Matt pulls her closer to him, leaving no space in between them. His lips are ravenous on her skin. "They do like you."

Cameron closes her eyes and lets him kiss her everywhere. "I want them to continue liking me, and I'm pretty sure that will change if I'm up here moaning your name like a feral cat."

Matt pulls away from her but keeps his face inches from hers. "I like when you moan my name though."

"I'm sure you do." Cameron pushes him off of her and sits up. "But we're not doing that right now."

Matt sighs and flops down next to her. "Fine. But you owe me."

Cameron chuckles and fixes her hair, smooths her shirt and re-buttons her shorts. "I owe you what? Sex?"

"Yes."

"I don't owe you anything, buddy. You have to earn that." Cameron says lightly.

Matt leans forward to kiss the exposed skin at her hip. "You can count on it."

Cameron smiles. He's so cute she wants to die. His little dimple on his left cheek. His messy brown hair. His ratty sweatshirt with a hole in the sleeve. She moves to the end of the bed so she can face him.

Matt pulls her feet into his lap. "So you know my family has that big 4th of July party every year?"

Cameron tries to play it cool. She's been waiting for him to officially invite her for weeks. "What about it?"

"Well, I want you to come."

"Really?" Cameron says quietly.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I want you there?"

"I don't know. I just wasn't sure if we were still too new."

Matt shakes his head. "No. Plus you can meet Katie and Emily."

"They're both going to be there?"
