Summer Love

N I N E // Boy Next Door

Luke told me he was picking me up at 3 o'clock for our beach date. Yup, he called it a date.

I was quite nervous because I don't really go on dates often. Actually, I've only been invited twice, so this is just my third time.

I mean, I hang out with guys but the fact that dates are expected to be somewhat romantic makes me so uncomfortable.

Ding. Dong.

I go downstairs to check who was at the door.

"Hey!"

It was Cameron. Even though he was wearing just basketball shorts and a tank top, which didn't really match the shorts, he still looked like a model. The tank top emphasized his buff shoulders and arms even more.

"Uh, hey! What's up? Do you need anything?" I asked, looking confused.

"I was just wondering if you'd wanna hang out with me and Catelyn today." He says, rubbing the back of his head.

As much as I wanted to hang out with them and get to know them better, I can't ditch Luke for them.

"Oh, I'm so sorry" I pouted. "I already made plans with a friend of mine. I'm really, really sorry. Maybe I could visit you tomorrow instead? If you're okay with it, that is."

"It's cool! I should've asked you earlier, anyway. But yeah, that would be great! Catelyn said she misses you." He looked and sounded like a mix of embarrassed and disappointed.

"Awww that's really sweet. Please tell her I miss her too and that I'm really sorry."

"Sure, I will. Anyway, have fun today. See you tomorrow!" He replied.

I gave him a hug before he left. It was actually good for a first hug, usually, first hugs with me are awkward. There's something about Cameron that's already making me feel so attached to him but at the same time he's welcoming it. Almost feels like a close friend or a brother.

****CAMERON'S POV****

I should've asked her yesterday. I really wanted to hang out with Stacey today. So did Catelyn. I hope she doesn't get too disappointed about it.

She's only almost 3 but I've already noticed how easily she gets attached to certain people. The most recent one was Natalie, her former babysitter,who was practically like her sister too. She was always with her when I was away and would always look for her when she's not around. Cate was devastated when Natalie had to go to New York for college. Until now, she sometimes asks me if Natalie's coming back.

I noticed how Catelyn talks to me about Stacey, it was like how she used to talk about Natalie. She just adored her.

I think I adore her too. Yeah, I know I've just met her and I'm 19, I can't develop feelings like how 2 year olds develop them, but there's something about Stacey that's making me want to get to know her more. It might be cause she's fucking hot.

"Where's Stacey, Camewonn?"

"I'm sorry. She can't come, Cate." I picked my sister up and kissed her on the forehead. Her face instantly turns into a frown.

"She said she really wanted to come and that she misses you but her friend was taking her out. Don't worry though! She's coming tomorrow."

Then, again, her face instantly changes. She was already smiling.

I invited Nash over since my plans with Catelyn and Stacey were canceled.

"Hey man, what's up?!?!" Nash suddenly barged in my room. I don't even know how he gets in the house without him telling me.

"The fuck, bro. You scared me." I shout, throwing a pillow at him.

"Dude, are you seriously still trying to get over Maddison? There's so many other hot girls out there who will never say no to you. Get over her, she was a slut anyway."

I didn't even stop to correct Nash for calling Maddison a slut, he was right. I was an idiot for letting her cheat on me by fucking different guys at every party she went to without me. I trusted her enough to let her go alone but I guess trust will always end up getting broken because that's how it's meant to be. I was an idiot for letting her use me for popularity. My friends kept on telling me that all she wanted was the spotlight but i never believed them.

I'm not gonna lie, even after 2 months, I still sometimes wish she wasn't the slut that she was. But I'm slowly getting over it.

"No way, man. I wasn't thinking of Maddison. I'm so over that bitch. There's this smokin' hot babe living with our neighbors for a few months. I'm thinking she could be my next girl."

"Good for you, bruh. I know you always get the girls you want. Is she hotter than Maddison???" Nash asks me.

"Ofcourse. I have to show Mads how much better I am with girls than she is with boys." Maddison hurt my pride more than she hurt my feelings, I have to get even.
