Troubled One (Wilde #2)

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

The play was getting close to being complete and we weren't even going to be performing for another two months. It just proved how hard we all worked. Every time we had to work on our own and without Miss Conte, everyone took it seriously.

Well, sometimes Kamille would get distracted and started flirting with me, but that was only when we weren't running through the scene. It may have been when we were about to start, but oh well. I just let Kamille be the weird person she was and constantly tell me that I had a cute butt.

Dad has been coming over a lot for dinner and I was glad I decided to forgive him. He was trying his best to be a better dad, but he also promised not to take me and Nick away from Laughlin because it would be too much to be taken away from the only person who always cared for us.

He was constantly asking me how the play was going. I think he was excited to go to it, so I honestly couldn't wait until the first performance. Not to mention I was loving being the Mad Hatter. Miss Conte definitely made the right choice and everyone was agreeing since Kamille was the March Hare and together, we were a very weird duo.

Kamille's parents called her once, and that was about two weeks after her eighteenth birthday. All they did was wish her a happy birthday, then they wished her luck wherever she was. Kamille was hurt at first, but then I helped make it up to her.

Needless to say, someone had an obsession with doing a certain something in my car.

"So," Kamille said, wrapping her arms around me from behind. She was way too short. "Since you are eighteen now, I was thinking we can...."

"No."

"You didn't even let me finish. What if I said that I was thinking we can go laser tagging, something you love doing?"

"And the truth? You were going to say that we can go in my car, go to a secluded place, and make love."

"No," she said. "I was going to say car sex."

"And what's the difference?" I asked.

"The wording, babe."

"Do not call me babe."

"What about baby?"

"No."

"Bae?"

"No."

"My main squeeze?"

"What, do you have a side squeeze?"

Kamille sighed. "Fine, I guess the truth came out. Munro, I....I"m dating someone else."

"Funny."

"You still have a cute butt."

"And you're still weird."

"Thank you, now kiss me," she said.

I rolled my eyes before gently grabbing her wrists, unwrapping her arms from around me before pressing her up against my lockers. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me," I said before leaning down and pressing my lips on hers.

Kamille really was the best thing that ever happened to me. She was the reason I was able to open up easily to other people, especially her. She was the reason why I forgave my dad. But more importantly, she was the reason I was now smiling so much. Kamille tried so hard just to make me smile. Nobody else did.

Kamille was the reason I felt so much....

Love.

I love Kamille.
