the heart wants what it wants

Hand 'n Hand

I got to work about 10 minutes later. I walked through the door and saw Cameron waiting for me. He was at the register taking orders. The girl that was there before me left as soon as I walked through the door. Cameron saw me walk in then he raised his head and smiled at me, but it quickly faded.

He put the costumer on hold and ran over to me. 

Cameron: "Did you know you have a black eye?"

Me: "What? I guess I didn't notice." 

Cameron: "Oh. Any way punch in and get your apron, hat, and gloves on. It's a little busy today. 

I did as I was told and took my place at the register. It honestly was really busy today. I don't know how Cameron can manage this place at times like this. 

Time passed slowly. There was this one particular costumer that wasn't very friendly. He seemed in a rush. He kept rushing me and saying rude things. Cameron eventually saw and asked him to leave without getting his frozen yogurt. 

Cameron eventually told me that there is an attitude policy and that if they are being rude we don't have to serve them and that we have to ask them to leave. I was happy about that. 

I was aloud one break a day so I took mine. I went to the break room and sat in a chair. I kicked my feet up and put them on the table. I plugged in my headphones to my iphone 6. I put on YouTube and listened to Nikki Minaj playlist. 

Break time was over and then I got back to work. I walked back to the register and started taking orders again. Honestly it was so busy, but then again it was kinda slow. Don't get me wrong I love this job, but it was hard. 

My shift was over so I punched out. As I was walking out another girl came in to take my place. Cameron came out and asked me where I was going.

Cameron: "Where are you going?"

Me: "My shift is over I'm going home."

Cameron: "Well why don't I close early so we can hang out."

Me: "Okay."

I waited outside for Cameron as he closed up and as everyone walked out. 

We just rode around town on our motorcycles. We went to the Trinity again. We just hung out under the bridge. Then he started acting goofy. He kept poking me and then saying that wasn't me Casper did it, which made me laugh. Then he got up and yelled tag your it. I chased after him. I finally got him and then ran away yelling Casper did it!

I ran fast. He then got me. Then I got him and we went back and forth. At one point I got hyper and tackled him as I tried to tag him. I fell on him as he fell to the ground. I quickly got up and helped him up. That was the end of the game. Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me to go look at something. It was the other side of the hill of the Trinity. Mainly it was just some dirt and grass. Then we saw 2 cows, a horse, and surprisingly a goat. We just stood there looking at the animals and the sunset. He was still holding my hand. Then he spoke.

Cameron: "Kate?"

Me: "Yes?"

Cameron: "Why did you go out with Max?"

Me: "I don't know, I guess I just saw something in him."

Cameron: "Yeah his abs."

I laughed. Then something sparked and I leaned my head on his shoulder and asked him a question.

Me: "Do you like me?"

Cameron: "Yes. Do you?"

Me: "Like do you like, like me or do you just like me as a friend?"

Cameron: "What is it with this like, like stuff. Yes I like, like you. Do you?"

Me: "Yes I like you."

Cameron: "Do you like, like me or do you just like me as a friend?"

I laughed.

Me: "I like, like you."

Cameron then bent down on one knee with my hand in his hand.

Cameron: "Kate Martinez, will you make me the happiest boy in the world and be my girlfriend?"

Me: "Yes."

Then Cameron got up and through me over his shoulder and started running around with me screaming YAY! 

I couldn't stop laughing. Then we tripped and fell on the ground. Luckily I fell on him because he broke my fall. Then I got off of him and we just laid on the ground next to each other looking at the sky. It was time for us to go so I stood up and helped him up.

We walked to our bikes together and rode off. We arrived on our street shortly. 

We both rode into my driveway. He walked me to my door. We hugged each other good bye and then he leaned his neck down and kissed me on the lips while holding my hands. Then he let go and left. It was just a short, quick kiss, nothing serious. 

I walked into my house and saw dad passed out on the couch covered in his work papers. I chuckled a little. I took the papers off of him and covered him with a blanket and put a pillow under his head. It's a good thing he is a heavy sleeper. I walked upstairs to my room and fell asleep on my bed. It was at least 9:30 so I passed out easily.

I woke up around 8:00 a.m.

I walked downstairs and saw my mom in the kitchen with my dad talking. 

Me: "Morning guys."

Mom: "Morning sweetie. Your father has something to say."

Dad: "Yes..uh... I contacted Woodrow Wilson last night and got you enrolled. It seems like a really good school and I want to apologize for my behavior the other day for calling your friend a gangster and saying the things I said. He seems like a very nice boy if he tried to fight for you."

Me: "Oh. It's okay dad. I understand and Cameron and I are actually together now."

Dad: "That's wonderful. I wish the both of you the best."

Me: "Thank you."

I sat down to eat my cereal and toast. I finished my cereal and then started washing dishes. 

I got a text so I dried my hands and checked who it was from. It was from James. 

James: I'm sorry. I love you.

I replied back but I didn't want to deal with him because I have a new boyfriend who I really like.

Me: I don't. You are forgiven but that doesn't change anything. Bye I'll talk to you later.

I really wasn't gonna text him back I just didn't want to hurt his feeling. 

I sent the message then got another message. It was from Cameron though. 

Cameron: Meet me at my house.

Me: Okay.

I finished washing dishes then changed into regular clothes. I told my mom where I was going and then walked over to Cameron's house. I knocked on the door. Cameron answered. He invited me in so I walked in. We went up to his room. He closed the door behind me and kicked off his shoes. I did the same. We just sat on his bed and talked. It was awkward. We had no idea what to do. We turned on the T.V. and watched family guy. I put my head on his shoulder and he held my hand. Then he kissed me on the head. I was happy with him. I felt safe with him. I care about him.

Then we turned off the T.V. He held my hands and kissed me just like he did on my front porch. He hugged me and said...

Cameron: "I care about you so much Kate and I will never let anyone hurt you."

Cameron was my first best friend. Now he is my boy friend. The world works in mysterious ways. We eventually got hungry and went out to eat. I'm happy that Froyo Polo is closed on Sundays. 

We got some Chick-Fil-A and then headed back to his place. It was awkward. This was new for us.
