You Belong With Me

bonus chapter 23

*******

After a nice fresh shower I brushed my teeth and stepped into the bedroom. Lilly was chatting with Austin when suddenly she got a call, "I'll see you guys for breakfast down- its derrick I'll have to attend it" she blushed and walked out of the room down the stairs. "Go have a shower" I pushed Austin off his bed. He grabbed some random stuff and stepped into the bathroom. I got distracted with my cellphone. When Austin came back from his shower I stared at him. "Where's your t-shirt?" I asked "I like showing girls my abs" he grinned "shut up" I rolled my eyes at him. "See? You're totally over me!" he said as I threw a pillow at him. "Grab a t-shirt- I'm going down for breakfast" I said and I walked out of the room. "That's because you're scared you will faint in a few minutes seeing me shirtless" he teased. "Really- you think so?" I said, "I don't think so I'm very sure" he said. "Let's see" I said. He came close to me and put his arms around my waist and looked right into my eyes. "I love you so much" he said as he gave me a soft kiss on my cheek. "Cute but I'm not buying that" I said, "Dammit -it never works on you" he said. "Cameron hurry up we gotta go for work now" lily screamed from downstairs. I hurriedly gathered my stuff and stepped out of his room but returned back and kissed him "bye" I said, as he stood there. "I lost I game didn't i?" I asked "it wasn't supposed to be a game and by the way you were to faint" he replied and waved.

We reached to the show room and began working. We had a new fashion show to be held after a month and time was quite less for the dresses to be made. at noon Lilly came downstairs, "Cameron I'm hungry, why don't we just go out for a burger or something" "yeah but I hate burgers- I'll have something else" I said and she nodded just when I picked my wallet someone entered, "hey girls" Austin said as he came with bags "I thought you'd be hungry so I bought some food" he said. I went and hugged him,"thanks we were about to leave to go to a nice restaurant " I smiled as he hugged back. We all sat together as we ate our food and started working again. Austin said he had a conference meeting at his office now so he asked for my laptop to do the video conference.

After he had just finished his conference he sat on the counter playing on his cell phone just then Luke entered. Luke was like a daily customer for me. He told me to design all his clothes for various occasions. He was a bad ass and always messed with whoever he met and I guess it was Austin his time. "Hey Cameron, how have you been" he said as he hugged me and Austin glared at him. "Whoa! Who's this new guy" he said shaking hands with Austin. "Oh he's my boyfriend!" I said as I smiled at the thought. "Hi I'm Austin" he said as he shook hands with him "I'm Luke"he said smiling. "So you're her boyfriend" he asked "she was mine a few days ago" he said grinning "what?" Austin asked, "Shut up Luke - Austin he's just messing with you" Austin's face burned with anger, "no she even went on a date with me" Luke said. "Luke we met coincidently at the club and it wasn't a date" I corrected. "then why did you spend the rest of the time with me the whole night then" he asked "Luke will you please shut up" by this time Austin glared at me, "what does he mean he spent the night with you?" he asked angrily, "Austin we were at the club that's it" I tried to explain. but he just stormed out of the showroom. "Austin wait" my voice cracked. He must have been hurt. "Luke you're a jerk you shouldn't have said that" "you know I was messing-"
"out" I said. "What"he asked I repeated again "I said get out" I screamed. "Look I didn't mean to ok'' he said "Luke get out of my show room before I fling that vase on you right now" I said he left the showroom without saying anything. I spent the rest of the day quietly. There was silence the whole time. Lilly didn't say anything as she knew I would be letting my anger out on her if she spoke.

After work I decided to go to Austin's place to check out if he had cooled down. I entered his room to see him sitting on his bed. I slowly crawled next to him and he pulled away. "Austin please talk to me" I said. But he didn't say anything. Suddenly his phone rang and he left his room after that and I was left alone. He misunderstood everything and he wouldn't let me explain all because of that jerk Luke.

I felt like crying. I decide to go to my favorite place. The bridge; I always sat there when I was upset. I cried there for hours thinking Austin won't talk to me forever. I then thought I was over reacting over it so I wiped my tears and closed my eyes and took a deep breath and stood up to go home just then Austin appeared in front of me. I gasped aloud as I got scared.Someone touched me from behind and I turned around and I gasped once again, "AuntMichelle? Oh my god I can't believe you're here" I said as I hugged her tight. "hi honey I'm so glad I finally saw you how are you doing and I heard you guys have been dating I'm so happy for you two she said looking at both of us" to which I looked at Austin and he looked away and I looked at the floor "wait what's wrong?" she asked worried, "uh... nothing- how about a pizza tonight" I asked hoping that would help change the topic. "Yeah sure but don't you dare change the topic what's wrong just tell me" she demanded. "Oh dammit first fight already?" he sighed and I refused to meet my eyes with her. "Austin what is wrong with you?" she asked "uh.... no aunt Michelle its um...Me this time" I interrupted as Austin didn't want to talk about it so he went and sat in his car I told Aunt Mitch everything and she understood it. She said she would help me in cheering him up.

At night aunt Michelle sent Austin to pick me because of our pizza party we had planned earlier. I heard a knock and he stood there outside waiting for me. I quickly grabbed my purse and walked behind him. We sat in the car and went over to his house where all of them were eagerly waiting to go. I hugged Lilly and derrick and later Aunt Michelle. "So there are two cars" Aunt Michelle explained. "So I'm going with Lilly and derrick and cammy you can go with Austin alright?" she said. "Uh... Aunt Michelle how about you go with him and I will go with Lilly and derrick?" I asked and she sighed, "you guys won't talk so easily right?" she rolled her eyes at me. "Ok Lilly you go with derrick I'll go with Cameron and Austin ok?" she said and Lilly nodded In agreement. We sat in our cars and drove to a nearby fast food restaurant. We sat on a booth which had two benches in which three could sit on each. Lilly derrick and Austin's mom exchanged looks and quickly sat on one side. So it was obvious that Austin and I had to sit together. Good lord! Austin sat a bit away from me. Why is he acting like this? I kept quiet. I ordered my regular pizza and the others ordered their food too. And when it came on the table everyone was excited besides Austin and me. Aunt Michelle sighed again. She came and sat next to Austin which made him to sit close to me. I couldn't even swallow a slice of pizza because I was constantly thinking about Austin. I sighed and kept my plate aside while everyone stared at me. "I think I should leave" I told them "no you're not going anywhere and you haven't had anything. And I know both of you skipped  you're meals today so both of are gonna eat something" she said raising her eyebrows challengingly. I looked away. "Cameron?" she said sternly wanting me to eat the pizza while on the other hand she tried feeding Austin. He slowly ate whatever he was being fed. Looking at him eat I took a few bites of my pizza. Looks like a long night to me.

After our mini party got over Lily derrick and I drove to my flat while Aunt Michelle and Austin drove back home. "I'll see you tomorrow guys" i hugged Derrick and Lily and walked towards my room. Derrick was staying over tonight. Lily and he had been getting it on since day one. "Night" they both murmured.

1.00 AM. My clock read. I couldnt get sleep. I was tossing and turning in my bed when-
Plink!
What was that?
Plink plink!
You're hallucinating Cam its nothing
Plink!
Plink!
Plink!
Okay thats it!
I opened my window to see Austin standing on the pavement below my flat. He looked breathtaking in his turtle neck t-shit as he stood with both his hands inside his pocket. "Austin!" i shrieked. "what are you doing!" I looked at him expectantly. "what you think?" he rolled his eyes. I folded my arms and raised my eyebrows. He sighed tiredly. "I came to apologize for being a dick! I'm sorry" He mumbled. i was speechless. he came at 1.00 in the morning just to apologize! "Cam" he shivered. "yeah" i breathed out. "i would love to express my undeniable love for you and serenade you with flowers which i apparently left in my car, but i'm freezing my ass of here. Please Open your fucking door!" He shuddered. "OH SHIT!" i ran towards my door and held it open for him. "GOD I'm so sorry" i squeaked as i closed the door and turned to look at him. "I'm sorry too. I cant sleep straight knowing that i got you upset. i'm sorry, I love you too much to stay mad at you" my heart swelled with love for this boy. "I love you more. c'mere" i pulled him in for  tight hug. "mmm" he sighed his cold tosro melting against my warm one. "let's go to sleep" i mumbled as i pulled him towards my bedroom. i loved this boy way too much. i guess He belonged to me and I belonged to him and this was our happy ever after.
