What Happened? (MDL #2)

Chapter 15

I stood there frozen.

Am I dreaming like before? Is this real? Can someone please punch me in the face to have my senses back? I looked into his eyes hoping to see any sign of mischievousness but all I can see is sincerity and determination.

Honestly I don't know what to say. I'm still in shock. I know he likes me but I didn't know he likes me like that. Not that I'm complaining or what I'm just.....confused. He looked down avoiding eye contact then tapped his foot nervously, waiting for me to answer. I wanted to say no but I don't know how to sugar coat it. I'm not ready to date yet.

I'm still trying to mend my broken heart.

But I remembered what Naomi told me. She said "You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one." I finally realized she's right. Maybe I should start dating again.

I took a deep breathe. "Yes. I'll go on a date with you."

If Kevin can date Ashley I can date Cameron too. He chose Ashley's words over mine and that pissed me off. I know my decision will piss him more and maybe eventually I'll actually feel something special for Cam.

He grabbed my hand then pulled me towards him engulfing me in a hug. I wrap my arms around him it feels foreign but in a good way. I rested my head on his chest secretly enjoying the moment.

"You won't regret it, promise. I know you still love him. I know you're still broken. But you could use somebody like me. I can take away your pain you don't have to mend your heart alone." He whispered in my ear.

I nodded my head I looked up to see him smiling brightly at me. "Thank you." I mumbled.

"I should be the one telling you that." He said pulling away from our hug but still holding my hand.

I was about to say something when the last bell rang.

"C'mon I'll walk you to the parking lot I'm sure Naomi's waiting for you there." He said more of a question.

I nodded my head in confirmation "How did you know?" I asked.

He shrugged "Well I'm very observant."

"More like a stalker!" I giggled.

"Am not!" he shot back. Making me giggle more.

When we reach the parking lot we were still teasing each other making us laugh. Cameron is really fun to be with. I told him I adore him because he's so adorable then he started pouting like a kid who lost his balloon. Why do guys don't like to be called adorable or cute?

When I looked up I saw Kevin, Naomi, Cole, and Katie by our spot, leaning against their car watching us like a hawk.

I gulped "Do you still want to walk me?" I asked Cameron.

"Yeah, because from now on I'll be hanging out with your friends." He said cheekily.

Gosh this guy has some guts.

"Hey, bro." Cole greeted Cameron with that weird hand shake boys do. I should thank Cole later for being nice.

"Hey." Cameron greeted back. "Sorry for making you guys wait for Hailey. I'm here to return her unharmed." He joked breaking the tension.

"It's okay. You can take her whenever you want." Naomi told him earning a glare from Kevin which she happily ignored.

Cameron chuckled "I'll keep that in mind."

Kevin was about to say something rude so I interrupted "We should get going. See you tomorrow!" I told Cameron.

He smirked knowingly. Again he pulled me in a hug.
