Wild Thing

Falling Hard

I layed in my bed, listening to the sound of nothing but waves and the crickets. The world around me was as wide awake as I was. I couldn't stop touching my lips, remembering his soft, lucious lips on them. His taste still was lingering in my mouth. I couldn't help but just sit there, thinking of how stupid I was. But at the same time, I didn't regret a single thing. 

Finally around 2am I heard the door open and the sound of Jason placing his keys on the counter. I heard him open the fridge, close it, and then walk past my room to his.

I heard the palm tress outside my window swaying in the wind. I shut my eyes and Cameron's face popped into my head. He was biting his lip and whispering my name.

"Jada." he whispered. "Jada, come here." 

It was as if I was actually hearing his voice. 

PANG PANG. I heard the sound of pebbles hitting my window.

"Jada, come outside." I heard his voice again.

My eyes jerked open and turned to my balcony. I got up and slid open the door and walked out, looking over the edge to see Cameron 's smiling face.

"Cameron, what the hell?!" I whispered loudly. 

"I'm sorry. I can't stop thinking about you." he said, running a hand through his lucious chocolate locks.

"Cam, you kissed me." I heard the crack in my voice.

"I know that." he said. "But you kissed me back, remember? That means it's just as much your fault as mine." he smirked at me.

I let out a sigh and ran my hand through my hair.

"Come down, please." he said.

I stared at his deep eyes for a moment and felt my heart beat pick up. I wanted more than anything to be with him right now. But I had promised Penny. I felt like I was putting both of us in more danger. But I already had a hot make out session in my own apartment with him. The damage was already done.

I climbed up over the balcony wall as Cameron moved underneath to catch me. I took a deep breath and slid off, falling right into Cameron's arms. I leaned into him, knocking him to the ground. We busted up laughing as I layed sprawled out on his chest. Once our laughter calmed I looked into his eyes as he brushed a piece of hair out of my face. I broke the stare and jumped up off him.

"Catch me if you can." I leaned over and whispered to him and ran off into the palm trees. 

He got up and chased after me. I ran around, interwining myself in the trees. I leaped around, swinging my arms from tree to tree. Cameron followed me, so close to catching me, the thought of his touch making my heart race. Finally he snuck up behind me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me to the ground. We laughed in eachother's arms. 

He moved my hair to one side.

"You're so beautiful." he whispered into ear. 

I smiled and felt my face become inflammed.

No matter where I go all I hear is "you're so hot", or  "damn, you fine." It's never that I'm beautiful. Hearing this from Cameron brought tears to my eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked, crinkiling his forehead.

"Nothing." I said, my voice weak. 

The sound of birds and crickets and waves surrounded us. But all I could hear was our heartbeats. Was I falling in love with this boy? The boy who, just a week ago, hit me in the face with a football.

He kissed me on the cheek and I layed my hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. The heat underneath his shirt was radiating off his skin and hitting me like a ton of bricks. 

I brought my hand up and ran it through the front of his soft hair. I shut my eyes and listened to his breathing as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next thing I remember happening was being shaken awake. My eyes slowly fluttered open and the sun was just rising. I noticed Cameron leaning over me. 

"Cameron, what's going on?" I asked, sitting up.

"Shhh." he said. "It's Taylor, he's walking around the beach.

"Oh, shit! Cam if he sees us-" I started to say but he cut me off. 

"He's not gonna see us, just stay here okay." he whispered. Then he stood up and disappeared behind the trees.

I sat there and waited for him to come back. After what seemed like an hour. I got up and headed back to my apartment complex. As I emerged from behind the trees my eyes immediately glanced over to beach where I saw Cameron laying on a towel with Penny cuddled next to him. I felt my stomach drop. Fuck him. I thought. How could he just lay there with her like nothing happened at all. It was killing me inside. I turned and walked away from them before either one could notice me.   

Once I got back up to my room I took a quick shower, washing off all the sand and trying to wash away Cameron's scent. Even though I knew that nothing in the enitre world could get rid of it. 

When I got out of the shower Jason was lounging on the couch with his laptop on his lap.

"Have fun last night?" he asked, not looking away from his computer screen.

I dried my hair with my towel as I gave him a confused look.

"Huh?" I said.

"I'm not stupid." he said.

I walked over to the couch and sat next to him.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Jason." I tried to hide it as best as I could. "But that's nothing new."

"It doesn't effect me any, but you better watch what you're getting yourself into. If I were you I wouldn't even think about getting involved with that Cameron guy. He screams bad news to me."

"Well you're not me, now are you?" I said, standing. "I will do what I want, it's not like I need your permission." 

"Jada, watch it." He said, looking away from, his screen and up at me.

"It doesn't even matter. I'm done with him anyway." I said, walking away.
