I got a text from Matt about 15 minutes ago that said, 'Get dressed. Someone's coming to see you.'

The first thought that came to my mind was Cameron, but why would he come over? Hasn't he put me through enough emotional distress already?

All those thoughts, plus more went through my head as I did as the text said anyway and got dressed. I put on a black crop top and jean shorts. It wasn't anything fancy but it was better than the outfit choice I had on before. Which was just a sports bra and sweat pants.

There's a ring of the door bell that echoed throughout our huge house. I take a deep breath, trying not to panic. I walk downstairs and to the front door, taking one more breath of bravery before opening up. There stood Cameron just as I thought, holding out white tulips to me.

"Can I come in?" He tries to faintly smile but it wasn't working.

"Whatever" I step to the side and he walks in, handing me the flowers as he walks by.

It was a sweet gesture but he would have to do a lot more than hand me flowers before I forgave him for making me feel like a complete fool the past week.

I go into the kitchen and get a vase for the flowers then grab a water bottle from the fridge for myself, as he sits on a bar stool; quiet ever since he walked in the door. He was probably getting ready to explain himself, and I was interested in what this speech involved. Has he had a change in heart? Or is he just trying to get his best friend back?

"Alyssa, I'm sorry. So ridiculously sorry, it's crazy."

"Why should I believe that? You literally broke my heart and stomped on it, then making a fool out of me while you were at it, in front of the whole school." I take a sip of my water, keeping my voice low and at ease, trying to buy some time from having to say any more than I had to.

I wasn't about to show him any emotion what so ever until he proved to me he deserved my time of day.

A silence between us grows, that's when I watch his beautiful brown eyes shift to my chest, staring at my cleavage like he expected me not to notice. I get an idea in my head and lean onto the counter in front of him, propping myself up with my arms, showing even more cleavage than before. Even after what he did to me, doesn't mean I don't still want him...

He clears his throat nervously, pulling his gaze away from my chest. I could tell it was a struggle for him. Was he finally showing signs that he was feeling something for me? Sexual or emotional, I don't care. I'll take either at this point. Just to know that he has any interest in me besides friendship is okay by me. It's a small step in the right direction at least.

"Cam, you're wasting my time." I provoke, trying to sound frustrated, but I really wasn't.

He remains silent as he looks down at the counter he's leaning on, thinking. Without another word, he gets off the chair abruptly and walks around the counter to me. He cups my face in his hands and pulls me close and meet my lips all within the same second. His lips move in sync with mine, pulling me in closer and closer. This kiss was filled with passion and do I dare say.... love. His hands leave my face and snake down the side of my body. One hand landing on the small of my back to pull me closer, the other landing on my hip.

I take one of my hands away from his cheek so that I can grab his hand that's on my hip, and slide it down to my a**. He immediately grabs it forcefully, making me moan in his mouth at the feeling of his intense touch.

He releases the kiss after a couple more intense seconds and takes a step back from me, bumping into the counter behind him

He releases the kiss after a couple more intense seconds and takes a step back from me, bumping into the counter behind him. He crosses his arms and licks his lips, looking like he couldn't believe what he just did.

I grab his hands away from his closed-off stance and hold them between us.

"Cameron, this is okay!" I whisper getting closer to him, "You can touch me! Anything you want to do to me because, I want this! This is what I wanted from you all along!"

I whimper desperately into his ear and place a kiss on his neck as I wrap my hands around his waist and under his shirt to feel his muscular back. Meanwhile, his hands stay at his sides, not touching me at all.

"What's the matter with me?" He says under his breath and I stop kissing him, but don't remove my hands from his back just yet.

"What do you mean?"

"I kiss you back when you tell me you're feelings and then say sorry and leave you to cry in my driveway in the pouring rain, then I make a fool out of you in school, and now I come over here to apologize and tell you-" he pauses suddenly, leaving me in suspense.

"Tell me what?"

"-that I have feelings for you too." He sighs and finally looks down at me and meets my eyes.

"That's good to hear." I bite my lip, trying not to smile obnoxiously but it was no use as my smile grew ear-to-ear. "So what's the problem?" I mumble into his chest, while hugging him, and he finally wraps his arms around me to hug back.

"I don't deserve you after all I've done to you."

I release my grip on him and take a step back away from him.

"Cameron, just shut up!" I say in a higher tone, getting truly annoyed with him. "Do you know I have been dreaming of this moment for 2 years now and you're ruining it by being your ol' sweet guy self?!"

"You've had feelings for me for that long and didn't even try telling me?" he questions, shutting me up.

"You sound surprised..."

"Well yeah!" he chuckled

"Well it's not hard to fall for your best friend when they cuddle you, kiss you on the cheek, takes naps with you, and once in a while, holds your hand." I quietly defend.

"I did those things because they felt natural for a friendship like ours."

"Exactly Cameron. It felt natural, as in, deep in your mind, you knew you wanted to be with me too, but you ignored it because you were with Courtney." I make my point and watch him shake his head at the ground. "So the question is Cameron.... Where do we go from here?" I take a step closer to him and rest my hand on his chest, gazing up into his eyes as he thinks.

He leans down and kisses me lightly and quickly. "Where ever you want." He grins at me and a grin widely kissing him again.

Everything is finally getting better.

Guys, I'm saying this in the nicest way possible, I know you all love this story, but please stop commenting "please update" because I stick to a schedule of updating. I usually let 2-4 days go by before updating again because I only write once in a while on this story since I have so many I'm writing at once. All the chapters I keep updating with, are chapters I made ahead of time and I don't want to run out of chapters to update with and then I won't be able to update for like a week because I can't catch up. If that makes any sense, I don't know, but I just wish people would comment more things like what they think is going to happen, or especially in-line comments.
