Summer Love

E L E V E N // Douchebag

I still can't get over what happened yesterday. This might sound cheesy but it literally felt like a dream. Like one of those situations that I used to daydream about and conversations that I planned ahead in my mind. But yesterday was real. It's not just a false memory in my head.Yesterday actually happened.

I almost forgot about my plan of hanging out with Catelyn and Cameron because of all these thoughts.

I try to shove them aside as I walk to our neighbor's house.

"Oh hey! You must be Stacey! I'm Nash and you can call me Nash. " A shirtless boy says as he puts his arm around my shoulders.

"Uhm, yeah. Nash, is Cameron here?" I reply, pushing his arm off my shoulders.

"Cameron, Stacey's here!!" He screams.

"Stacey!!" Catelyn runs up to me and hugs me. I lift her up and carry her.

"How are you, Catelyn?"

"I'm grrreat! I can't wait to play with youuu. We'll play barbie dolls and dress up and horsies and build forts, won't weee?"

"We'll play everything you want." I giggle as I put her down.

I didn't notice I was staring at Cameron's body while talking to Catelyn.

"Like what you're seeing, huh?" He says.

"Not gonna lie, I didn't expect that." I lied. I totally expected him to have that body since the first time I saw him. I immediately turn my attention to his face.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Catelyn wanted to have girl time, which meant playing with barbie dolls and dressing them up, with me so Cameron and Nash decide to leave us and continue doing god knows what.

Catelyn reminds me so much about my old self. They had the same dreams, beliefs and that innocent, hopeful, positive view on life. I sometimes wish that I was still that old self.

We asked Nash and Cameron to come and build the fort since Catelyn said that they're the best fort builder.

"I told you they were the bestest fort builders ever!" Catelyn said, jumping up and down.

Even I got so excited. I haven't been in a fort in so long. I missed the feeling of just being there, in your own little world.

"Well only because my little sister deserves nothing but the best." Cameron says, hugging Catelyn.

As the day went by, I slowly realized how much of a gentleman and sweet guy Cameron really was. The way he treated me and his little sister, he makes girls feel very special.

Nash was acting strange. He seemed like a douchebag, compared to Cameron. Even to the point where I don't understand how they're friends. How can someone so poised and mature handle someone so rude and childish.

"I have to go." I sighed. It was getting late and I was tired.

"No, don't. It's only 11:30 pm," said Nash. "Cam and I were planning on inviting a couple of friends over for some drinks. You should stay and meet them."

"No we weren't!" Cameron raised an eyebrow at Nash.

"I'm sorry. I'm really tired. Maybe next time." I said.

"I'll walk you home!" Cameron winked at me like he was hinting at something.

"Uh, my house is a few steps away but okay."

"You better come to our party next time!!" Nash screams as we went out. I just give him a smile.

When we got to the house Cameron apologized.

"Stacey, I'm so sorry if Nash was kind of a douche."

"It's cool. I've seen worse." I laughed.

"Are you sure? I mean Nash is pretty bad" he joked, cocking his head to the side with a smirk. "Anyway, thanks for coming today. See you again soon? At the party, maybe?"

I stop for a while to think about going to the party. Going to a party sure wouldn't hurt. I thought.

"Definitely. Just hit me up when it's all planned."

Cameron got me having second thoughts about Luke. I can never have crushes on two people at the same time. I know what I have with Luke is nothing serious, we constantly text and all, but I can't flirt with him while I'm starting to like Cameron. I would have to pick between the two of them.

I decide to talk to Caitlyn over Skype. I told her about my problem and she told me I was being too uptight about it. I realized that she was right. Luke probably isn't even planning to take me seriously and I haven't even known Cameron for a week. I'll take her advice to just go with the flow and enjoy it while its there.
