Notice Me(Cameron Dallas FanFic)

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Carter gave me more attention than he usually did. Now he was like a little puppy dog and I was his owner. It was a little bit annoying but I tolerated it because it was flattering.

But Cameron on the other hand.

He didn't talk to me. He didn't make eye contact with me. He sat next to me at lunch but his body never reared toward mine. I spoke up once which took all of the courage in me and nothing came out of Cameron.

What broke my heart was that Cameron looked at me when I said something. He didn't say anything back, he just glanced at me over his shoulder. I knew that I... sort of... rejected him last night, but was he really that hurt about it? I didn't think he would be.

Maybe I should make Cameron jealous. I talked to Carter and a little louder than I usually did. "Hey, do you want to hang out after school today?" I asked him.

Carter's eyes lightened. "Of course! I missed hanging out with you," he accepted with a smile. He's been giving me that smile often now. The one that he gave me when he first found out I wasn't pregnant, even though at that time, the suspicions I had would've made me a liar. The ones where his eyes were just little chinks and all of his cheeks were wrinkled.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked him.

"You wanna go to the mall?" Carter suggested.

I accepted that and waited anxiously for the rest of the day.

I knew I couldn't be completely comfortable with Carter. But honestly... I set up this date in front of Cameron to make him jealous. Is that bad? I've never done that before. But what if Carter thinks I like him again? All of the stuff that happened before was caused because I said yes to his date. But this time, I asked.

What would we do at the mall anyways? Is he gonna buy me something or what? No no, like the boys say, "Or nah." What would we talk about? Is there anything fun to do at the mall? Are we going to do something there other than waste money?

Sh, no, quiet, Eva. Stop thinking. Just let it happen.

Carter drove me to the mall and we walked in. Surprisingly, it was filled. Usually you could walk through the hallways easily but there was a lot of pushing and shoving. We headed over to the food court which was close to the entrance.

"Hey, make sure you don't get lost," Carter said to me and took hold of my hand.

It wasn't even palm in palm, our fingers wrapped around each other. This reminded me of a day a while back... whilst walking in the mall alone. A boy held my hand and I could feel the nervousness in my heart rising. I can still remember that story and every detail. I can't believe it was what started everything. And I mean everything.

Carter headed over to Tropical Smoothie Cafe and dragged me with him by my hand. He bought a large drink and only got one straw. What, he wasn't going to buy me one?

Wow, that sounded selfish, but then again, he did suggest the mall.

Carter sipped out of his drink and noticed I was looking at it. "You know we're sharing this, right?" Carter asked with a grin.

He handed it over to me and I sipped away. I got these smoothies every time I came here.

Carter quietly whispered an, "Ooh," and I looked over to where he was staring. His footsteps started leading toward Victoria's Secret.

I felt a pair of eyes staring at me. They weren't Carter's because he was looking front with me lagging behind him.

I look around and through a bunch of faces and noticed someone. Cameron. He was sitting down on a bench that was set in the mall and he was staring at me. We made eye contact that quickly broke off when Carter pulled me into the store completely.

Was Cameron stalking me? He wasn't with any friends. He didn't have any bags in hand. Maybe I was just imagining it.

Carter and I walked out of the store with our hands full. After this one stop we made, I doubt Carter had money left. We started walking through the store and he grabbed items off of the shelves and hangers and I couldn't keep track with what he was getting. At first, he asked me my sizes. Sort of awkward, honestly, because he asked for my bra size.

But I looked through the bags and thank God the cashiers organized them.

There was a whole bag of bras. A whole bag of under wears. A whole bag of perfumes. A whole bag of make up. And two whole bags of clothing, one for shirts, and another for pants.

"H-how come you got all of this for me?" I had to ask Carter. His answer had hesitation.

"Because I caused all of this trouble for you... and hell, you were almost the mother of my children," he answered. That last comment gave me memories.

I got that nervous feeling that someone was looking at me again. I turned around and directly behind me was Cameron. Carter and I kept walking and Cameron slowed down and faded into a crowd of people.

So he was stalking me?!

I needed to text Cameron that I saw him.

Wait, should I really do that...? He and I haven't really spoken today... but maybe it'll be okay? Like I said before when I thought he was stalking me, I think it should be me who's creeped out.

I whipped out my phone and started texting him. I felt Carter's hand hold my hand that wasn't occupied with the phone. The shopping bags dropped into the middle of our hands and it was quite heavy.

"To Cameron: I saw you. Don't be a dumbass."

I didn't know if I should've said that last part. I already sent it but...

"From Cameron: I'm here for clothing."

"To Cameron: I didn't see any bags in your hand."

It took a while to get a reply. It felt like the longest minute ever.

"From Cameron: Can we talk? Like, face to face. Is there any way we can just talk personally without Carter there? Maybe the bathroom? Family one I mean. I mean, wait, not like that but you know. Just to get away... is that okay?"

What did he want?

"To Cameron: Sure. Go to the one near Hollister asap."

I leaded Carter toward Hollister and excused myself to go to the restroom. The bathroom was found after you walked through this large hallway lined with the doors of the back rooms of stores and water fountains.

I walked into the family restroom and found Cameron fixing his hair in the mirror.

"What do you want?" I immediately spat out.

"I--" Cameron started but stopped himself. "I need to be completely honest here."

"Go ahead," I said with a motioning hand.

"I've been thinking for this whole day and I think I've finally realized what I need to tell you. I hope you understand. Uhm... I'm probably not as happy as Carter is about this whole... pregnancy thing," Cameron said.

"And that means?" I asked.

"You're still sassy," he said to me with a giggle. I didn't laugh. I didn't want Carter to suspect something was wrong with me and wonder why I was taking long(that's embarrassing), so I needed to get this over with. "U-uhm... anyways. Just with all of this thinking, I've realized that I'm not really happy about you, you know, not being pregnant. Maybe if you were the opposite of that... a-and you know, not Carter as a father... and you get what I mean," Cameron finally finished.
