He Ate My Heart..

Chapter Eight: Surprise!

The sun's rays poured out from the window above my bed and came within contact with my eyelids. I stirred in my sleep on someone's bare skin with my own. An arm instinctively wrapped around my shoulder to comfort me, pulling me closer to them. I slowly opened a single eyelid to look to see that it was my beloved Camden, still here with me from last night. I smiled weakly into his face.

"Good morning baby." He said in a low whisper as if he wasn't trying to startle me and a wind of mint blew pass my nose as he spoke.

"Good morning Love!" I said instantly putting my hand over my mouth consciously.

With that being said, I crawled over him onto the floor and did a naked run to the bathroom to brush my teeth and of course my tongue.

All done, and ready for my good morning kiss, I ran back into the room and jumped on top of him with my face inches from his.

I quickly pressed my lips against his and he went along with the sweet, honey suckled kiss.

"You know I didn't mind the morning breath right?" He chuckled, running his hand through my kinky hair texture.

"Well I wouldn't want you kissing me with morning breath." I said sticking my tongue out at him then laying my head on his chest.

I could feel his steady heartbeat through my eardrum, too steady, as if he was still asleep.

"Khelie.." He said in his bad news tone.

I groaned, lifting up my head, "Yes?"

His expression strained, "Are you on birth control?"

I shook my head no, "Why?"

He quickly sat up, almost throwing me off of him to the side. He was damn near to the hyperventilating stage.

"Woah, calm down, we are good cause you wore a condom." I said resting my hand on his back.

He looked at me with guilt in his expression.

I stared back, "You did wear a condom right?"

There was a long pause of silence and I completely lost my cool.

"What the actual fuck!!" I screamed, pushing him forcefully but he didn't budge.

His body shrink at my sudden change of nature and was immediately intimidated.

"I-I'm sorry Baby.." He said in a shy voice that I recognized.

"Oh really, Camden?" I yelled, totally over the name baby so I didn't even want to call him that at the moment, " Now that I think of it, you didn't even pull out! Are you that naive?"

He frowned like I actually hit a nerve, "I pulled out the second time."

I rolled my eyes to the back of the head, "One nut is all it takes, Camden."

"Don't you think I know that?" he snapped back.

"Obviously not!" I raised my voice.

Suddenly, he grabbed me and pulled me close to his bare chest as I fought back tears. I was too young to be pregnant, I have too much going on right now but the risks are dangerously high.

Tears began to trickle down my cheek nonstop as I sobbed into his shoulder. He raised the palm of his hand to my chin and pulled it back so that our eyes met. With his other hand, he wiped away my tears but more followed as I began to sniff.

"Oh, God." he said still studying face, "You're even beautiful when you're crying."

I sniffed awkwardly, what is he getting at?

"Khelie, listen.. there's no need to assume the worse right now, maybe you're just overreacting, lets wait some weeks to actually have you tested alright?" He said sounding more reasonable than before.

I wiped my eyes, "You're right."

"And if you were pregnant.."

I glared at him.

"I'm not saying you are!" he said defensive, "But if you were.. you have nothing to worry about, didn't I make it clear that I love you? That means that I am here for you too Khelie."

I scooted closer to him and sighed as I laid my head on his shoulder, "I don't even want to think about If's. Lets just keep it at that I'm not pregnant."

He nodded, "I understand."

I looked up at him and pecked his lips, "I'm sorry for going off on you so sudden, I shouldn't have."

He grinned in a playful manner, "Yeah, you can't blame me for being caught up in the moment!"

I punched him in his side, "It's too early to be joking about that."

"Ouch, alright alrighhht."

I couldn't help but laugh when he pretended to be hurt with his puppy dog eyes.

"Hey," he said getting up from the bed, pulling me, "Get up and get ready, we're going to the mall."

I looked him up and down, "Hmm, that was a demand wasn't it?"

He looked up at me as he began putting on his underwear, "You are my girl, so I want to take you to the mall baby."

"Well let me go take a shower." I said getting up.

My hand was instantly pulled as I was going to the door.

"Can I join you?" He whispered as I could feel his breath on my upper lip.

I bit my bottom lip, "Well you just can't get enough can you?"

He smiled and began to kiss me, but I cut the kiss short and looked at him.

"There is two bathrooms, feel free to use one."

He stood there dumbstruck as I skipped to the bathroom after I made such a cunning move.

"Bout time, It takes you two hours to get ready?" Camden groaned as I walked into the living room and he stands from the couch.

"Stop exaggerating, it was only forty minutes." I said rolling my eyes while walking over to the door.

He walks behind me and opens the door before I could get to it and I quickly paced outside the door and he followed. Walking down the apartment stairs, we playfully chatted until a fake cough greeted us at the bottom of the stairs holding a bag of groceries in one hand.

"Oh look'a here." Said the sarcastic Poetry with the flip of her inches over her shoulder, "Another white boy, the third one this week huh?"

Camden shifted his weight uncomfortably as I began to protest with fury.

"Now you just wait a min-"

"Oh I'm just picking Khelie!" She said giggling with a purposely cute tone, "no need to get worked up!"

"Yeah," I scoffed, glaring at her with distaste, "You getting out of line."

She smiled and swayed her hips to one side making her free hand visible, "And who gone check me?"

"Bitch, I'll beat y-"

Camden quickly grabbed me by my wrist before I could step a foot closer to the tramp of a woman. I quickly gave him a glare then softened my expression, no need to get mad at him. Poetry let out an forced giggle and began to walk pass us up the stairs.

"Right, listen to your boyfriend or one of your boyfriends, he just saved your life."

My pulse quickened from my rage but suddenly settled as he draped his arm around me, pulling me to his waist, making us walk forward. I instantly wrapped my arms around his hips and sighed in relief.

"I'm sorry about that." I said looking up to his unreadable expression.

"Oh it's alright, just don't pay her any mind. I know how she can be."

I rolled my eyes, "Tell me about it!"
