Love Is Not Over

Vernon: Holy S***

She looked up, avoiding my eyes. I went completely still, my body numb.

Are y-you... Are you f****** kidding me?!

"I'm Cam from Royalty." She whispered.

I tried to take a deep breath, but the stupid air got stuck in my throat. I choked, hacking it out.

She panicked, frantically tapping my back. "Dude! Did you swallow a bug or something?"

I held a finger up, still heaving oxygen.

She stayed quiet, still patting my back.

I sat up. "YOU?! This whole time you were actually CAM?! As in Cam from-"

She pounced on me, slapping her hand over my mouth. Her face was inches away, she smelled like a mixture of mango and sea salt. It was addicting.

"And you said my reaction was worse." She gritted through her teeth.

S***. I'm such a hypocrite.

I slowly lowered her hand. "Mianhe. That s*** just caught me off guard."

She backed up, putting her mask and shades back on. "I'm used to it. Myung Sol did the same thing."

I was still shocked. "Wow. I just- I can't believe this. An international celebrity just cried on me." I clutched my sweater. "I'm never washing this. Ever."

She cringed. "Ewww. Dude, my snot is on there too. Go wash it!"

I protected my sweater from her. "You'll have to kill me first."

She smirked, dark and evil. "That can be arranged."

My eyes bulged. "You're k-kidding r-right?"

She kept her eyes on me. "Maybe."

I started to get nervous, not sure if she was serious. I mean come on now, she had the money to put me away without a trace. Of course I was scared of her!

Out of nowhere, she started laughing.

Oh, she's nuts alright.

"You- you should see your face." She managed between breaths. "You were like-" She mimicked my ugly scared face, nailing it completely.

I scowled. "Jerk. How was I supposed to know if you were serious?"

She kept laughing. "Not my fault. You're way too serious." She mimicked. Again.

"Ha. Ha. So funny." I crossed my arms, looking away.

"Aaawwwwww. Is little Han Sol offended? Did I hurt your witto feewings?" I heard her pout.

I whirled around. "If you don't stop mocking me I swear I'll-"

"You'll what?" She leaned in close, cutting me off. Her eyes slit as if daring me to do something.

I couldn't help myself, I found my eyes going down to her lips. Suddenly, I was wondering what it felt like to kiss her.

Kiss her? Dude! You just met the girl in person a few hours ago! Snap out of it!

I shook my head. "N-nothing. Nothing at all."

She leaned back, satisfied. "I thought so."

I grinned. "You're impossible."

"Only to you." She winked.

I had to laugh at that. This girl made it so easy to like her. She was funny, smart, beautiful, and nothing like the idol girls here. Everyone had a weakness, except she let it show without shame. She was blunt and I liked that.
