Just Keep Swimming

Chapter 7

     I knock on the door. There is no cars in the driveway and no answer. I knock harder. We are at Cameron's house because I told the guys to text him earlier that I would come and visit. The boys came along with me.

"Why is no one answering the door," I say irritated.

"Cameron is home alone," Jackson says.

"And sick,"Brandon adds.

"He won't get up and answer the door," Jackson comments," but good thing we know where the hidden spare key is!"

He digs in the flower pot on the left and grabs a key. He unlocks the door and we see a sick Cameron sitting in his kitchen. He is in the fridge looking for food. He turns around and rubs his eyes.

"Are you hungry?," I say giggling," I make a killer chicken soup."

"Whoa, I'm sick I already feel like I'm dying," he says," I don't need you to kill me with soup!"

"You know what I mean," I say rolling my eyes," I'm making you some."

~•~•~

Brandon and Jackson stayed for a little and then left us alone. He finish his soup and then as I grab it from his hand he pretends to pass out. I giggle and go put his soup in his sink. I go back in the couch and see him "passed out".

"Oh no, I wonder how he died!," I say sarcastically.

I wiggle my way, on the couch, to his head and brush his hair. I smile and kiss his head. He grabs my waist and pulls me over to his waist and tickles me," I died because of your killer soup."

"MURDER!!!," he adds.

"What is tickling my sentence instead of jail."

He pauses and moves his fingers from my waist to my armpits and tickles," I think it should be!"

I squeal and shout. Telling him to stop. I laugh so hard I snort and it hurts after a while. I wiggle around and get my hands free and I tickle him back. He doesn't laugh. I try other place, nothing happens.

I look at him and he says," What? I'm not ticklish."

"Darn," I reply.

He stops tickling me, and starts to kiss me. He starts with my cheek, then to my lips, and nibbles my neck. I moan and he chuckles. After, we just sit on the couch and watch some movies.

~•~•~

"Bye," I say giving him a peck on the lips," see you tomorrow at school?"

"Probably I'm feeling much better," he says giving me a peck back," I had a great time being sick. Thanks for coming over."

"Anytime," I say back," love you!"

"Love you too, gorgeous," he responds," bye."

I close the door and I walk down the stone pathway and his parents pull in. I wave and they wave back and I make my way down to Jackson's house for a ride home...

Knock Knock!

 Buzz buzz...

     I pull my phone out right after I knock on Jackson's front door. I look at my phone -one text message from Cameron😘💞-. As I open the text Jackson opens the door. 

     "My friend's here, I'm going to drop her off at her house," he yells into the house," Bye."

     "Hey," I say not looking up from the phone," before we go ask your mom or dad if you can go out to eat with us."

     "Who is us?"

     "The squad," I reply," including Cameron. He's feeling better."

     "Hold on," he walks back in and comes out after a couple minutes," okay I can lets bounce."

     We walk over to Cameron's again. Brandon and Katie are already there. We walk in and I see Katie look over and smile. I go to walk over to Cameron, but Jackson stops me and asks me who the girl is.

     "Katie," I answer.

     His eyes flicker and he smiles," why is she here?"

     I reply," oh yeah, that's my best friend and she is part of this gang now. Cameron and Brandon already know her. Cameron knows because he's my boyfriend and Brandon, Katie, and I have the same English class."

     "I'm going to go talk to her," he says," she's cute."

     "I know and I know you like her," he is about to ask me how but I interrupt," girl's can tell, sometimes. If she starts at to likes you and you guys start dating, I promise you I will snap you neck if you brake her heart. If she hurts you then, you'll be left alone."

     He goes to walk over and looks back. I mouth the words," I'm watching you," and put my to fingers up and move them from my eyes to his. He gulps and starts talking to her and Brandon. I laugh and walk over to Cameron. 

     "Hi," I say giving him a hug.

     "Hi," he says giving me a kiss on my head and resting his chin there," I love you."

     "Love you too."

~•~•~

     "Hehe," Katie laughs as her head falls onto Jackson's arm. He smiles and chuckles.
     I look over at Cameron and he has like 4 pizza slices. I look over at my plate and my 2 pieces are gone. I look back at him and he laughs throwing his head back. I grab his plate and eat my piece of pizza. He grabs it out of my hand. And goes to eat it. I slap his arm. And he goes to hand it back but I open my mouth. He rolls his eyes, smiles, and feeds the pizza to me. I grab his and feed him back. He laughs in the middle of bitting into it. 

     After we all just converse about life, laugh, and eat more pizza. When we're done and get into Cameron's car. Cameron in the driver's seat, I'm in the passenger seat - were holding hands-, Jackson-on the left side of the backseat-, Katie-in the middle-' and Brandon-on the right. I'm humming to "Just Like Fire, by p!nk". Then carton turns on the radio and "One Dance, by Drake" turns on and we all are singing. The guys singing Drake's part, Katie were the parts Wizkid and Kyla.
