It's 2 o'clock.
Cameron and I made plans for
lunch at 1, but he's late. Oh my
God, please don't tell me I got stood
up.
I looked up at the clock in the
centre of the café for the final time,
before deciding to leave with what
shred of my dignity I had left. As
soon as I stood up to leave, I felt a
tap on my shoulder. I turned
unsure of what to expect, only to
see Cameron with a little girl who
was holding a dozen roses. He
smiled shyly at me before saying
"hey" and apologizing for being
late. "Its okay" I told him "I haven't
being here for that long" I
smoothly lied through my teeth.
"Awrh, that's good." He smiled,
visibly relived. "oh yeah, this is my
erm daughter, her babysitter has
the flu and couldn't look after her
today so I had to bring her along,
hope you don't mind.." "No, no of
course I don't mind" I didn't really
ask for the explanation but I
appreciated it. "The roses are for
you by the way" he said nodding
towards the beautiful flowers lying
in the hands of the equally
beautiful small girl.
Over lunch we got to know each
other better, and even though I'm
not really a fan of little kids apart
from my brothers, I managed to
bond with his little girl. Her name
was Kay'lani. I thought she was the
prettiest girl in the whole world -I
told her that so many times- she
looked just like Cameron, it was
adorable.
After lunch, we went back to his
place and talked some more while
a movie played in the background.
He had a lovely apartment; well
decorated, and it was obvious he
had good taste. Kay'lani dragged
me to her room, and introduced
me to all her toys, it was beyond
cute. I hadn't bothered telling my
Daddy where I was, or who I was
with. Cameron made me feel safe
so I didn't see any reason to, plus
I'm grown!
I ended up leaving around 1am,
and Cameron made sure I didn't go
alone. He dropped me off to my
Dad's apartment when I told him I
didn't want to spend the night. He
was very respectful of me, and
didn't try to pressure me into
more. Truth is, I didn't want to
leave; I loved spending time in his
company. I just didn't want to rush
things or give him the impression
that I was THAT type of girl (you
know the ones I'm talking about)
Cameron was so sweet and sincere;
he had goals and was ambitious...
That is something you don't find
everyday.
When he dropped me off, I kissed
him softly on the lips before
turning to enter the apartment.
Cameron grabbed my arm, spun
me around and gave me a real kiss,
he literally took my breath way. He
laughed at the effect he had on me
before whispering into my left ear
"breathe baby, there's more of that
to come" He walked off, but not
before he blew me a kiss, I waved
as he drove away, convinced that if
given time I could really fall in love
with that boy.
