The Dare That Went Wrong || Cameron Dallas

8: Hugs-

I awoke from my sleep, warmer than I usually was. I know that sounds a bit strange, but I felt physically warmer than usual. Maybe mum or dad put the heating on. I rubbed my eyes and stretched, as I was about to sit up something tightened around my waist. What?

I looked down and saw a arm wrapped around me. I turned around and noticed Cameron next to me. I almost screamed. I jumped up as fast as possible and he woke up immediately and jumped up.

"What? What!" He said flustered but still half asleep.

"Why where you sleeping next to me? And more importantly, why where you hugging me?" I asked.

"Was I? I'm so sorry Poppy, I didn't realise. Sorry" he blushed, looking down. "I'm really sorry, I know how you feel about me. I just got to carried away I think, I don't know, just, I'm sorry"

I sighed hearing how apologetic he sounded. "It's ok Cameron. I'll let it go this once. But, don't do it again"

"I'm sorry" he said still facing the floor.

I can't believe I'm going to do this. Why am I doing this? Why can't i control myself?

I slowly walked up to him, he looked up and stared at me: confusion written all over his face.

"Stop saying sorry" I laughed quietly. Then gave him a small hug.

***** Cameron's POV *****

"Stop saying sorry" she laughed quietly. Wow she has a cute laugh.

Then she hugged me. Wait. What? She's hugging me. It took me about a second to realise what she was doing but I quickly hugged her back. I was in complete shock.

"W-what was that for?" I stuttered.

"Well, I feel terrible for what happened. And plus you looked really apologetic for doing something you had no idea or control over. So I thought, maybe that'd make you feel slightly better? I mean, if that's ok?" She rushed.

I laughed a little. "It's fine, Poppy. In fact I think I could get used to having little hugs now and again"

"Don't get to carried away there, Dallas" she laughed walking to the bathroom.

Is this really happening? I know this is meant to be a dare and everything. But I just can't help but start to feel things for her. This is going to end badly. I can just feel it.

It felt so wrong, but yet so right. I loved the way she laughed: girly, but not annoying. Her hugs: warm, yet friendly. Her hair: unique, but not disgusting. Her face: she only wears a small amount of make up, and it's naturally beautiful. Her personality....her personality. It's amazing, I know I haven't gotten to know her properly, but in the last 10 minutes, she's shown she can be: caring, flirty, funny and shy, and I bet there is still loads more things I haven't seen or noticed about her yet, but I'm determined to get to know her more. She's an amazing person.

She walked out of the bathroom just as I finished daydreaming about her.

"Cameron, why are you still standing in the middle of the room?" She giggled.

"I really don't know" I laughed. "But I might get home, mum and dad will be worried"

"Ok, before you go have you had any thoughts on...Max?" She quietly asked.

I shook my head and looked down. Truthfully, I am scared of that dog now. But, she loves him, I don't think I could be held responsible for what will happen to it. I couldn't do that. "Poppy, I can't tell you what to do with Max, he is your puppy, you do what you feel is right."

"But Cameron, I'm not the one he attacked." She sighed.

"Please, Poppy. I know how much you love him, I don't want to be held responsible for whatever happens. Maybe ask your parents? Or the vets?" I suggested.

She slowly nodded. I feel extremely terrible for putting this all on her, but, I couldn't be the person who decides his future.

"I-I better go" I smiled weakly.

"Wait. Erm, uh, do you and erm Nash want to um, come for a run with me?" She stuttered.

"Sure. I'll text Nash, see what he says" I answered quietly, whipping out my phone to text Nash. A couple of seconds later he replied. "Nash said he will be ready in 10"

"Cool, I'll come to yours when I'm ready then?"

"Sure" I smiled. And with that I turned to the door and headed down the stairs and back home to change into my gym clothes.
