Love At First Camp

C09: History

ZOE'S POV

"I guess we can try and see what happens." I finished.

"I promise, you won't regret it Zo. I don't know what happened to you with your latest relationship, but I promise, I'm going to be there for you as many times as you need me to. Just try and trust me." Zack said while cupping my face with both his hands.

"I do trust you" I started. He looked at me serious. "Okay. I'm trying to. It's just that my last relationship was not a very good experience. It destroyed me. It turned my heart into ashes. It burned my emotions." I said, a tear sliding down my cheek.

"Hey. I know it must have been horrible but I will earn your trust. I will make a brand new heart for you. Hell, you can have mine if you want!" he said while hugging me tightly. He laughed slightly when he said that last part. "You are so used to your features that you don't know how beautiful you seem to me." he added.

"Geez, you have the ability to make me blush in no time." I said blushing, covering my face with my hands.

"Of course I do." he said laughing and removing my hands from my face. We continued dancing.
He leaned in. My mind couldn't stop over thinking. What should I do? Should I kiss him? Should I wait? I don't know what to do.

I turned my face so he wouldn't have contact with my lips, trying to be as gentle as possible. I don't want him to feel rejected. I don't want him to feel bad. I feel like I shouldn't kiss him, but I want to. So bad. I want to know what it feels like pressing his soft lips against mine. I want to feel safe in his arms.

He just looked at me. Sadness filled his pupils along with disappointment, even though he knew I was afraid to trust him and his intentions.

I couldn't contain myself anymore. I can't.

I delicately put my hands around his neck, closing the distance between us. He smiles. I pressed his lips against mine. He kissed me back roughly, while his hands travelled from my waist to the small of my back. I smile into the kiss.

"If I ask you something, would you answer truthfully?" I asked.

"Of course" he said resting his forehead against mine.

"How much did you practice with your pillow?" I asked laughing.

"You just ruined the moment, right there." he said serious. "I've been wanting to do that for some time now." he said smiling widely.

This boy is here to stay, I say to myself as he put both of his hands in my waist, causing electric shots to go down my spine.

SHAWN'S POV

"Shawn?" she said. " What a surprise to see you here." she added, while taking off her mask revealing the face that created my best and worst memories.

"The question is, what are YOU doing here?" I said angry.

"I infer you should be thinking right now that I'm stalking you, following you or something like that." she said.

"My mistakes didn't change me, Shawn. I'm the same Yocelyn you fell in love with." she added, getting closer.

"Don't come any closer. Your touch has no control over me anymore. I've changed. What you did changed me and I'm not the same dumbass who fell right into your trap so don't waste your words or your time. You had your chance to be happy next to me. For us to have a future and you threw it all away like it meant nothing to you. Just like you mean nothing to me now. Goodbye Yocelyn. Have a nice life." I said, then walked away, leaving her speachless.

I looked around and found Maya. She was talking to Lexi, Noah, Marcus and Rosie. I gave Maya her punch.

"Thanks Shawny." she said smiling while taking the cup.

"You're welcome." I said smiling back.

"Are you okay? You seem worried and a bit scared." Maya chuckled nervously while pulling my arm, so we could talk alone.

"Yeah." I simply said, sparing the details.

"Are you sure? You're worrying me." she said sad.

"Everything's okay, baby. There is nothing to be worried about." I said pecking her lips. She replied with a smile.

"Well... I'm not quite convinced." she said teasingly.

"Hum... Let's see." I said as I leaned closer kissing her slowly but full of emotion. She kissed me back.

"Convinced?" I asked laughing.

"Very." she said giggling, we were still very close. I could admire her features just fine. God, she is perfect. Everything she does is just flawless.

"Guys can you please keep it PG?" Zoe and Zack, who were now with the rest of the guys, shouted laughing. Maya blushed like crazy while I just laughed.

We walked towards them smiling. My arm around her waist, pulling her closer.

ZACK'S POV

"So are you guys finally a thing?" I asked impatiently.

"We are, in fact." Shawn answered.

"You guys deserve one another. You are both great people with amazing personalities. Plus, the chemistry between you two was undeniable." Zoe said teasingly.

"You are not one to talk Zoe." Maya said raising her eyebrows before bursting into laughter.

"Can you guys make out already?!" Marcus almost shouted referring to Zoe and I.

"Marcus!" Rosie said laughing. "What? It's true." he said laughing.

"How ironic, huh Zack?" Zoe said looking at me deeply, with a delicate smile plastered upon her face. I just laughed.

"Wait what? ZOE AMOURETTE GONZALEZ DELFINO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A TALK AS SOON AS WE GET TO THE CABIN, UNDERSTOOD?!" said Lexi with agitation and excitement in her voice.

"Yes sergeant!" Zoe replied with a strong tone, mocking Lexi.

I laughed and put my arm around her waist, which caused her to look at me and mouth 'stop teasing me'. I laughed in response. This girl makes me happier by the second.
