Runaway Love

Chapter 24: Questions Going Unanswered

My heart couldn't stop racing.

I had a million questions just non-stop running in my brain.

Should I have forgave him so quickly?

Is he trustworthy?

Will we get back together?

And the real question I couldn't stop asking myself...

Does Cameron, the heartbreaker, really love me?

I was confused, anxious, and most of all, exhausted. I stayed up late last night helping Cameron back to health. The cut across his body was hardly deep, but it took some time for him to be comfortable enough to fall asleep. Since he wasn't sleeping, he was constantly in need of my assistance, which means fixing his bed sheets and telling him stories.

Waking up this morning, full of unanswered questions, only makes my will to go back to sleep stronger.

I feel like I'm in one of those dramatic soap operas. He cheats. I'm angry. We eventually confess our love. I want to date, but I'm not sure. Crazy kidnapper tries to kill him. What's next?

"Blaise!" I heard a yell coming from down the hall. Knowing damn well it was Cameron, I put my pillow over my head to tune it out. I was not ready to face reality today, "hey, what are you doing, cutie pie?" Normally, I would find being called cutie pie completely creepy, but the way Cameron says it makes my heart beat fast. I removed the pillow from my head and met the gaze of one, fellow sleepy, Cameron. His eyes were worn out, his hair was disheveled (but in a sexy way), and his hand was gently placed along his stomach.

"Good morning." I mumbled, turning over to face the opposite direction. My mind hurt from thinking about this whole situation too much. Suddenly, I felt a warm arm draped over my body. The bare part of my waist that wasn't covered by a shirt was met by Cameron's fingertips. My cheeks instantly blushed, as I tried to hide the smirk on my face. This boy drives me completely crazy.

"So, are we back together...?" He whispered against my neck. I shut my eyes, dreading that question. "I mean, I was out of it yesterday, but I do remember you kissing me and saying you loved me. Please tell me I wasn't delusional." He let out a small nervous laugh and buried his face against me.

"I don't know, Cameron." I felt his shoulders drop down. "I did say I love you and I did kiss you. I just am not sure I trust you completely."

"Blaise..." He sat up, pulling me up with him. Without warning, I felt his lips pressed against mine. It was passionate, sweet, and I definitely felt "the spark" that people always talk about so much. When our lips parted, he stared at me with his puppy eyes, practically begging for trust.

"I want to trust you so badly, I do. It's just hard for me." I took his hand in mine, placed a tender kiss on it, then stood up.

"You know I'm never giving up on you, baby," Cameron smiled at me, "I will fight for your trust for as long as I live, you can bet on that."

As I exited my room, the smile that I was holding back spread across my face.

Eating breakfast was supposed to be the most peaceful time of the day. The birds were just beginning to chirp, the light was illuminated perfectly on the kitchen counter, and I was starting my day off right with a nice bowl of cereal.

However, Cameron was making so much noise upstairs that eating my breakfast in peace was basically impossible. He was blasting one of his favorite songs "Love Me Like You Do", and jamming out, so I could hardly enjoy my cereal due to his screechy singing and pounding against the floor.

A few times I thought about screaming for him to keep it down, but then, I remembered that I'm still thinking about our current relationship status and should keep my distance till I figure it out.

"Hey, Blaise, can you come up here?" Cameron yelled from upstairs.

Ugh, I really am not in the mood to help him with his chores again.

I make the long journey of standing up from my chair, going up the treacherous stairs, and finally, arriving to his room after the few tiring steps down the upstairs hall.

Right before I'm about to enter his room, he steps out and greets me with his evil grin. He did something, I can clearly tell. When his lip is slightly curled, and his eyes are squinted cutely, I know something is up. I crossed my arms over my chest and put on my detective face.

"What did you do?" I asked, trying to get past him. Unfortunately, his body is a lot bulkier than mine, so that was impossible.

"Let me explain..." I stopped moving and just looked at him, "so you said you weren't sure about trusting me because I kissed another girl. Let me state this. You don't trust me because you think there are gonna be other girls that I'm gonna think sexually about or I'm gonna kiss them. I mean, that's my reputation, I'm a heartbreaker. But let me ask you this, Blaise...how am I supposed to do anything untrustworthy with another girl when, upon entering my room, you will see, there is no way I could?" I had a puzzled look on my face, until he pushed open his bedroom door and his walls were basically bare. The pictures of half naked women were gone. After further inspection, I realized he threw all of his dirty magazines in the trash and he even got rid of his life-size cardboard cut out of a porn star.

"You're completely insane." I said, laughing.

"But, baby, I'm only insane when it comes to you." He kissed my cheek multiple times, then pulled his phone out of his pocket, "look, baby, I even got rid of all my booty call girls. Your my only girl, I promise you that." I was so compelled to kiss him, so instead of being the big wuss I usually am, I went for it. Our lips connected, and the same firework feeling was ignited once again.

"I love you." I said, against his lips.

"And I love you," his arms snaked around my waist, holding me tightly, "so does this mean we are back together?"

"Let me think about it..." His face dropped, "I'm just kidding, babe, of course." I squeezed his cheeks together, kissing him one more time, before taking his hand and leaving the room together.

I can't believe it took so much time and effort to finally be together. Geez, I'm such a drama queen.
