Chapter 15 ~ Isn't the real you...

•ASHLEE'S POV•
After Cam and I finished our dinner a chef brought out dessert which consisted of a delicious but simple chocolate mousse but that was just the start. There was crème brùle, pavlova, brownies, caramel and white chocolate slice and a little bit more. Thankfully is was only a serving for each of us because of it were a full pavlova, and everything else, there's no way we would have finished it all. We ate mainly in silence with the casual mini conversation every now and again. The silence which lasted most of the time we were eating was thankfully not awkward at all. The music was playing in the backgound soft and gentle.

We finished dessert and the same people that brought our plates to us came and took them away. A few moments later it was just Cam and I again. He got up and came over to me. He held out his hand for me and I gladly took it in mine. He led me back through the streamers hanging from the door and further up the beach to a small area of floorboards. It was decorated, just like the room we had dinner in. There were four poles on each corner holding up a light, flowy piece of material in place of a roof. There were fairy lights spun up and around each pole. There was also fairy lights around the boarder of the 'roof' that were dim but still gave out enough light to see the floor and the sand around it clearly. I looked back from the lights to the floorboards and noticed that Cam wasn't holding my hand anymore but he was on the floor gesturing for me to join him there. I accepted his invitation and walked to the floor. The music was playing quietly in the background but got louder as Cam nodded to the dj person, thing. Whatever you want to call him. Before I got a chance to hear what song was playing it changed to another. Thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran started. (A/N: I'm currently listening got music and as soon as I wrote 'thinking out loud' it started playing. That coincidence though.) Cam took one of my hands and placed it on his shoulder and held my other hand in his. He slid he free hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him then we started to slow dance. I began thinking of how amazing this was, but I was also thinking about the fact that I miss the true Cam.

We continued to dance through the song and two more before either of us said anything.

"Cam, I can see that you've put so much effort into this date," I began, emphasizing the 'so' because it was true. Cam stopped dancing and had a look of interest on his face. I paused for a few more seconds before continuing.

"But why? Yes, its gorgeous and I love it, but all this," I said motioning to the scene around us.

"The fancy dinner, the decorations, the slow dancing..." I continued.

"It isn't the real you Cam. It's not the Cam that likes chipotle or taco bell, it's not the Cam that dances like an idiot. A cute idiot at that. It's also not the Cam that can make everyone laugh during the moments we need it most.it simply isn't the true Cameron Dallas. And I fell for the true Cameron Dallas, not the fancy, slow dancing Cameron, but the goofy, adorable and perfect Cameron. I love all this so much and it's beautiful but this isn't my Cameron. Not the Cameron I fell for at least. I'm not sure why you did all this but if it was to impress me, it wasn't necessary. Because the true Cam doesn't need to impress me." I finally finished.

I looked to the floor so I wouldn't have to see his face of disappointment and he wouldn't see mine filled with embarrassment. Cam put his hand under my chin and lifted it up enough so that we were looking into each other's eyes and he had his typical Cameron grin on that I love which made me smile.

"I was hoping you'd say something like that soon." He said before kissing me passionately. I smiled into the kiss which sadly ended after a few seconds but we were both still smiling as cam hugged me. His strong arms around me made me extremely happy.

He pulled away but held my hand again as we went back to where we had dinner. He led me inside and picked up a box off of the table we ate at, which wasn't there before. He handed it to me and said,

"Put it on, then come to the inside of the door streamers. I'll be waiting there for you and the bathroom is over there." He pointed to a door inside the room.

He walked to where he said he would wait as I opened the box to have a sneak peek. Inside, there were a pair of white with black hemmed triangle swimmers. I smiled realising Cam had been paying attention to what I was looking at a few weeks ago when the Magcon crew all went to the mall together.

I followed Cam's instructions and went to the bathroom to get changed. As I came out of the bathroom with my clothes in my arm, I noticed that cam had gotten changed into some board shorts (that look extremely hot on him too) and he was holding a blindfold. I sighed, rolling my eyes knowing that yet again, it was for me. I was still smiling but after Cam saw me roll my eyes he smirked and walked over to me taking the clothes from me and placed them on the table before putting on the blindfold. After he tied it up he held my hand again, not that I'm complaining, and guided me outside. Because I left my shoes at the Jacks' house, I could feel the thin sand under my feet and going between my toes.

After what felt like an eternity of walking (which was probably only two or three minutes) Cam stopped me and told me to close my eyes, seeing as they were already closed I simply nodded and I then felt Cam take off my blindfold.

"Keep your eyes closed Ashy." Cam teased using the nickname I would normally hate but now I enjoy when Cam calls me that. He then held my hand again. He guided me forward a few more steps then let go of my hand almost as soon as he held it.

There was silence for a few seconds besides the shuffling around of Cam then I eventually asked if I could open my eyes. Cam said yes, so I did and I just smiled at the new scene before me.

"Is this the real me Ashy?"
