Chapter 19

"I've been thinking..."

"That's not a good sign." Ben said causing Sam and I to laugh and earning a dirty look from James. 

"That one's getting old, don't ya think. You can do a lot better." James said.

"But it works every time, tho." Ben flashed him a smile and pointed towards Sam and me while we were laughing our asses off. 

"Your face, mate... Just priceless." Sam chocked out and James just rolled his eyes.

"Anyways, we should go to the beach. I mean, we are on the coast after all and the show last night was mental so if the one tonight is gonna be like that I wanna just chill and do nothing all day."

"Sooo..." Ben raised his eyebrows. "You wanna do what you always do just on the beach?"

"Where can I turn him off, again?" James looked at Sam and me who were once again fighting for our breath from laughing. 

"Actually, I think it's a good idea." I said and glanced at Cameron who was sitting on the couch ignoring us all.

Yesterday he was all sensitive and caring with me and I was actually thought things were getting back to normal, but nope! He's back to ignoring me. I really don't know what his deal is? Like, yeah I didn't come to his bunk when he asked me to because I had my thingy with Ben going, but for all he knows I could've wanted some alone time. 

"Finally! Thank you Denis!" James exclaimed dramatically and then added: "And just imagine all the hot girls walking around half naked!"

"And now you have a valid point!" Sam said and then turned to Cameron throwing a pillow at him. "Quit being a dickhead and get your ass down here." He told him. "You're gonna be my wing men. Blond ass bitches are all over you for some fucking reason." 

"No, he's coming with me." James protested.

"Guys, I think I'll pass. Not feeling it today.' Cam said looking at us for like 5 seconds and then returning to his phone. 

"Come on, I'll be forever alone!" James wined.

"Such a tragedy!" Ben joked. "And plus, you've got your drooms."
James gave him the finger and the room exploded with our laughter again. 

After a few minutes we could feel the bus stopping and soon our tour manager Kyle entered the room.

"We're here. The show is tonight at 9 so please try to at least be sober enough to not puke all over the stage. I mean, you're playing at the Illusion Center after all." He said, and Ben clicked his tongue: "No promises, sorry!" 

In a matter of seconds they all disappeared from the kitchen leaving me alone with Cameron.

Well, fuck.

I could feel the awkwardness slowly building up in the room, but eventually I sighed and got off the ground and sat next to Cameron with my feet on the couch.

"Cam?" I asked innocently. 

Nothing.

"Caaaameeerooon..." I sang out leaning my head on his shoulder. "Talk to me." 

I could feel his shoulders tense. "What do you want, Denis?" He practically growled.

"You tell me." I rubbed my forehead into his bear chest and my hair caused all of his metal necklaces to slightly swing and fall inside of his V-neck shirt. 

He winced at the sudden cold touching his skin.

Well, if he's not going to talk to me I'll annoy the fuck out of him. 

"Denis, move." He said his eyes snapping from his phone to me.

"Aw, is this annoying you?" I asked sweetly snuggling up to him and throwing my arms around him so I was now hugging him all around. "Oh, I'm sorry? I just wanted to tell you how much I looooveee you!" I tried acting it out till the end but I was already cracking up. 

"Get off of me..." He actually tried pushing me away which resulted with me sitting in his lap laughing my fucking ass off while he looked at me like a kid who just got his candy taken away from him.

Eventually I stopped laughing and shifted in his lap so I was now facing him. 

I messed his hair and looked at him smiling innocently. "Come on, I can see that smile."

As I said that a huge grin appeared on his face. "I fucking hate you." He tried sounding mad but his smile only grew wider. 

"Aw, that's not the spirit! You know you love me!" I smiled at him soon breaking into a laugh.

But Cameron groaned. "Fuck, Denis... You really need to get off of me..."

"You guys are too cute!" James exclaimed walking into the room with his phone in the air and a laughing Sam behind him.

"Denis, get off!" Cam hissed but I ignored him. 

"How long have you guys stood there?" I asked.

"Long enough." Sam laughed.

"What do you think, what's their ship name gonna be?" James said amazed.

That's the point where I jumped off of Cameron and ran towards James who automatically threw his hand in the air knowing I won't be able to reach his phone. 

"You're not putting that on Instagram, right?!" I yelled.

"It's already there!" He announced proudly. 

"Fuck you!" I snapped trying to get my hands that damn phone. "Cam, a little help maybe?" But when I looked back he was nowhere to be seen.

Great. 

"You're such a dickhead." I told James and he just smiled at me.

"Yeah probably." He said then grabbed Sam's wrist and disappeared out the door. 

I grabbed my phone and logged into Instagram. Yup, it was fucking there! The problem wasn't in fans seeing it, it was in Ben seeing it. I mean, will he be mad? Should I apologize? 

"Ah, fuck me!" I whispered to myself, but at the sound of my voice someone slapped my ass.

"Maybe later." Someone said. 

"Ben, what the..." But when I turned around Cameron winked at me before exiting the bus.
