I spend the rest of my day anxiously waiting for his call. My friends can tell I'm distracted and they notice that I'm constantly looking at my phone.

"Bro, what's up? You've been off since we left the Empire State Building," Tez asks me as we walk down the street to our hotel. I was hoping that he would call me but he probably changed his mind. He look so well put together and I'm just a country bumpkin who's attending community college in 2 weeks.

"Nothing, just tired I guess," I lie and as soon as we are in the hotel room I flop down on the bed. I grab my laptop, also a hand me down from Will but at least I have one.

I quickly Google Cameron's name and the name of his company. My eyes bug out as I read about him and his billion dollar finance company. Apparently he wasn't born into wealth, he built it himself and he's such a fascinating man.

He's so attractive, I wish he had called me but I understand why he changed his mind.

I'm not anything special.

I close my laptop and lie back down on my bed. Tez is already sleeping, we plan to meet the rest of our squad for dinner after everyone is awake.

Just as I'm falling asleep, I hear my phone ringing and my eyes snap open. I grab my phone and my heart starts to pound as I see Cameron's name flashing on the screen. I stand and go out to the balcony so I don't disturb Tez.

"Hello," I greet softly with an excited smile on my face, I can't believe he actually called me.

"Nash, hello." He replies and his voice is so sexy, I can't comprehend how an absolutely gorgeous man is interested in me. "I was caught up at work all day but I have tomorrow off, I want to see you."

My breath catches because he gets right to the point, he makes me so nervous.

"I would like that," I reply softly.

"Tomorrow at Central Park, where do you live?" He asks me and my heart drops because he's assuming I live in the city, maybe he won't want to get involved with me because I live out of state.

"Well I'm staying at the Days Inn, I'm here on vacation. I'm actually from North Carolina," I respond and I wait with bated breath for his reply.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow,9am." He tells me and I feel relief because it didn't even phase him. "I still have some things I need to do, I'll see you tomorrow Nash."

I pout because I wanted to speak to him longer but it's okay, I'll be seeing him tomorrow. I have plans with my friends but they'll be fine without me, I want to spend the whole day with Cameron. That is, if he wants to.

The rest of the day crawls by, the anticipation is killing me.

I'm sitting in McDonald's with my friends as we eat dinner, I got my usual cheeseburgers from the dollar menu with a small drink.

"I can't go to the Statue of Liberty with you guys tomorrow, I have some things to do," I tell them vaguely and I know they'll want to know exactly what I plan to do but I don't feel comfortable telling them. They'll probably say that Cameron is a rapist or something.

"What could you possibly have to do here that's not sightsee, you don't know anyone here," Brendan, my cousin, says and I roll my eyes at him.

"Don't worry about it dude, I'm going to do my own thing tomorrow," I say firmly and he rolls his eyes back at me but drops the subject.

We spend the night at Times Square with our skateboards and while I do have fun, Cameron Dallas is on my mind.

It's close to midnight by the time we make it back to the hotel, I shower and crawl into bed. I usually stay up later but I just want to fall asleep so that when I wake up it will be time to meet Cameron. I set an alarm and then fall asleep easily.
