Help Me ~ c.d

Alia's pov *

"So how is my beautiful daughter today?" My mother asks, as we each sip our drinks.

"I'm doing great. I went for a jog with Cameron this morning. Then I helped him make a video. Oh, and I cooked pancakes for breakfast." I smile. She smiles, clearly pleased.

"You really like him don't you? Cameron, I mean." She sips her drink.

"More than that. I love him mother. I swear he could be the one. He just hasn't grown the balls to ask me yet. " I joke. She laughs, shaking her head.

"You're so young dear. Just about to turn legal to drink. You shouldn't be ready to get married. What happened to college?" She says, motherly instinct kicking in.

"I don't know mom. College seems like it would take so much time. I don't even have a clue what I want to do. Cameron isn't going to college." I say.

"He's going to be an actor. He doesn't need to go to college. What about being a teacher?" She asks.

"No way. I've had another school. College is pushing it." I say.

"Literary degree?" She asks. I shrug.

"Maybe. Sounds easy. I'll do some research about it. I'll probably do online school." I compromise.

"No. You will go to a school." She forces.

"But mom, what about Cameron?" I ask.

"He's a big boy. He can take care of himself." She sips her drink.

"That's not what I mean." I sip my drink.

"If he's really the one you won't break up over college." She very stubbornly says.

"It's my life. I'm choosing. I choose online." I settle, suddenly glad we were finishing our coffee before parting ways.

"Oh what am I supposed to do with you." She sighs. She finishes her drink.

"Let me live my life." I stand up to throw away my cup of coffee, now empty. She stands as well. We both throw our items away and leave the restaurant. I turn to her and give her a hug.

"I love you. I'm only trying to help." She whispers.

"I know. I love you, mom. You better get going. Don't wanna miss your flight. You sure you don't want me to take you to the airport?" I ask. She shakes her head.

"It's alright. It's almost dinner time. Go home to your 'family'." She places quotes around family knowing that is what I call them. I release her from the hug. "I love you."

"I love you too. Be safe." She pleads, plastering a grimace on her face.

"I will. See you soon, mom." I say and off she goes. She hails a cab and I start my car. The radio turns on and I turn it back to the station Cameron I like. Just my luck, drake is playing. My mother enjoys country so I had to make her happy. I pull out of the parking lot and drive back home.

Once I had stepped in the door I knew I would be ordering pizza. There were boy's shoes everywhere and loud noises upstairs. I take off my shoes and walk up to my room. Cameron's laptop is out and open. I look at the video it's set on. I press play and watch from start to end. Tears fill my eyes and I wipe them away quickly. After the video is over I go into the previous video to read the comments. Then I read the counts on the video of him in tears.

The door opens suddenly while a laughing Cameron comes in. He turns to see me.

"Oh he-" he stops, seeing the tears. He rushes towards me and engulfs me in his arms. "What's wrong? Don't cry beautiful."

"Do you mean it? Do you really love me enough to marry me?" I sputter. He stops breathing. I can feel him tense up.

"Yes. But I want to propose at the right time. Just know it's coming. God, I thought you were hurt. I love you." He speaks quickly, wiping my eyes of tears.

"I love you too." I whisper and suddenly our lips connect in a spark. I feel his lips moving perfectly against mine. I haven't kissed him like this in so long. I grab the hair on the back of his head while his hands grip my hips, pulling me closer to him. He places a hand on my back. I run my fingers through his hair and then all too quickly he pulls away.

"Can I join you guys?" I ask him. He nods, catching his breath. He keeps an arm around my waist and very smoothly shits the laptop while we walk to Nash's room. Kian and Jc are there with Nash. All three hold controllers.

"Kian! Jc!" I exclaim.

"Hey!" Kian looks over and smiles but quickly looks back to the game.

"Sup." Jc nods, not looking away.

"I whooped all of their butts." Cameron says. I laugh.

"Did not!" All three say in unison.

"Did too." Cameron says. He suddenly smirks as the match ends. "Let Alia play." I look up in horror.

"Oh god no!" I squeal.

"C'mon I'll help you." Cameron sits down on the edge of the bed with his legs spread out. He grabs a controller. "Sit here." He gestures to the area of bed between his legs. I do so. He puts the controller in my hands. "Alright. This is steer." He uses his hands on top of mine to guide me. " this is forward or backward. This is shoot. This is grenade. And this is reload. Don't worry I'll help you." He whispers the last sentence.

They start a new match and then Cameron's fingers are directing mine wildly. I fire for him a few times but miss each time so I let him take the wheel and play for me. I don't move though. Once the match ends all the boys pout.

"C'mon cam! That was cheating. Let her play on her own." Kian begs. I give him the death stare.

"No!" Cameron and I say in unison.

"I'm done!" Jc says throwing the controller down. They all give up one after the other. Nash last of course.

I grab Cameron's phone out of his pocket.

"Hey." Cameron whines.

"Shush I'm ordering food." I say. He lets me. I lean against his chest as we sit Indian style together. I order the pizza and then open the camera to his phone. I start to check how I look and see that my hair could use a little work. I run my fingers through it a little. It starts to look better and then I pose for the picture and hold the phone out to get us both in the frame. Cameron leans forward and closes one eye in a wink and I snap the picture. Then he grabs the phone from me and kisses my cheek taking the picture. Then it's my turn to be the kisser. Then we take a picture of us kissing.

Cameron suddenly gets a notification from Nash.

It has a picture of us taking our pictures attached and the caption says "couples😜"

We both look at Nash sitting in the bean bag. He shrugs. And then we all burst into laughter as koan and Jc come through the door with our pizza.

And then we're all watching Finding Nemo while eating pizza.
