Happily

Chapter 10

Cameron’s POV

It’s been a month and a half since Joslyn moved in and three weeks since my mom caught us in my room. We have spent everyday together, even when she was sick for a whole week. We stayed in her room and watched movies, played games, and just talked.

I have been getting up the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend for quite sometime now and I think I’m going to do it today. School will be starting in two weeks and I want to be able to call her mine before then.

Jos and I decided we were going to see a movie this afternoon, so right now I am waiting for her to get dressed. I’m sitting on her bed, watching her every move as she shuffles through her clothing.

“How about this?” she turns around, holding up a pair of high wasted black shorts and a blue tank top. She is only in a bra and underwear and I’m having trouble focusing.

Pulling myself out of the inappropriate fantasies of my mind, I nod my head. She pulls on the clothing and laces up her light blue vans.

“Ready?” I say with a smile.

“Ready,” she repeats. I take her hand and we walk downstairs, waving by to her mom on the way.

We hop in my car and head to the movie theater.

As we sit in the car I reach over and rest my hand on Jos’ upper thigh. Placing her hand over mine, she laces her fingers with mine. 

A song by One Direction comes on the radio and I think it’s called One Thing. I’m getting pretty good with this favorite band thing.

As soon as Joslyn hears the song playing, she immediately starts bouncing up and down. She sings along to the song, leaning over every once and a while to squish my face and make a deep voice sing the song. Also known as, mocking me. 

“Don’t mock me,” I say laughing. She giggles when I squeeze her thigh. She continues to sing along to the music until we reach the theater.

I find a parking space in the third row and pull in. We get out of the car and meet around front. I take her hand and lead her inside. We already have our tickets since we got them online.

“Do you want anything from the stand?” I ask her.

“I’m not hungry but we can get a drink,” she says eyeing the soft drinks. I chuckle and order a Coke, her favorite.

I take a sip and hand it to her. She wraps her gorgeous lips around the straw and takes a long sip from the cup.

“Don’t drink it all!” I say snatching it back. She giggles and latches onto my arm. We walk up to the attendant and he checks our tickets, telling us where the theater is.

When we are inside of the movie room, we go to the very back. There is no one else in the theater and I’m quite surprised since it’s a new movie. The lights begin to dim and the previews light up the screen.

I have Jos’ hand in my lap until she pulls both of our hands to her face. She examines my hand, tracing the lines carved into my palm. She carefully turns my hand over and over, playing with my hand. Then slowly, she places a soft kiss to each of my fingertips. There’s a smile playing on her lips as she turns to me.

“What?” I say, suppressing a smile.

“Your fingers are so long,” she says holding my hand by my middle finger, dangling it in the air.

I lean over and whisper in her ear. “They come in handy though don’t they.” It comes out more as a statement rather than a question.

Even in the dark I can see the pink rise on her cheeks. I press a kiss to her ear and pull away. I love that the color on her cheeks is for me and me only. I’m the only person that has touched her and she trusts me to do so. Before we met, she had only ever kissed someone. I showed her what it feels like to be intimate with another person. I’m the only guy that has ever seen her so vulnerable and I love that.  No other guy knows what she likes. No other guy knows what she looks like under those clothes. Only I do. Only I have seen every inch of her beautifully tan, soft skin.
