The store backs onto a large, open field. We walk to a picnic table across the field that someone placed there one day. By the time we finally sit down, Cameron’s already eaten half his slice.
“Healthy lunch, huh?” I ask, taking another bite.
“Definitely.” he responds, “If only we could eat like this every day.”
I nose laugh and smile. There’s an awkward silence so I decide to break it with a simple question that I might as well PRETEND to have interest in, “So Cam,” I begin, “how’s Chastidy?”
Cameron looks down at his pizza before placing it in its box. He stays silent.
“Is something wrong?” I ask him.
“I broke up with her.” He says without looking up.
“Oh.” I say simply, “ Is it okay to ask why or is it a sensitive subject?”
He shrugs, “She’s a bitch.”
I give Cam a confused look, “I know that, how’d you know that?”
“Yesterday when I was with her, she accused me of having feelings for you. I told her I didn’t but she didn’t believe me. Then she accused you of having feelings for me and called you a whore who wants every guy. But that just pissed me off so much that I told her the truth…that I do still like you.”
He waits for me to say something but I don’t so he continues, “But I know you’re with Connor and he’s a great guy and I don’t wan this to come between…”
I cut him off, “Cameron, just stop. I broke up with Connor yesterday because he was being an ass.” I don’t want to tell Cam what Connor did because it would just upset him more.
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be.” I tell him directly.
“Oceana,” starts Cameron, “would you be my girlfriend?” He takes both my hands in his and looks me in the eyes. “Yes, I'm being serious. No, I don’t want this to be awkward.”
I wanna say yes so bad but it’s not a good idea. I know it’s not. What would Chastidy do if she found out? What if we just wouldn’t work out? But…he’s so amazing. Just looking into his dark, brown eyes and seeing them sparkle in the light of the sun. He just seems like the perfect guy…but I couldn’t.
