song : how I love you
The sun rays penetrated from my wide window drifting with the soft wind into my room. I slowly opened my eyes to reveal my large dresser with a bunch of fake greens covering it's top. My phone starts ringing: it's Cam.
-"Hey Cami" I manage to say with my hoarse morning voice.
-''Aella oh my fucking god get ready I'm coming over right now'' she practically shouted over the phone
-''Wha-''I barely get to say before she hangs up on me
lovely.
Cam is very demanding but so incredibly amazing. Falling for her was inevitable.
Not wanting to make her wait, I get up and stretch my hands above my head yawning. I'm always tired its not even funny. I enter my en suite bathroom to wash my face after putting my uncontrollable hair in a top knot over my head . Re-entering my room, I wear my floral navy dress and put on my white chuck's.
Rushing downstairs I grab an apple from the counter and head outside when I hear Cam's car pulling in our driveway. I get in my usual seat and great her with a quick kiss on the cheek.
-''We're going to get tattoos'' she said shortly after ,breaking the comfortable silence.
-''What makes you think I want one anyway'' I answer turning my body to face her.
I actually really really wanted one but not now no.
-''Ok fine, just me then..'' she shrugged
-''Just you''
We got to the same tattoo shop i saw yesterday a few minutes later. It was next to the beach and looked very aesthetically pleasing. Cam jumped out of the car slamming the door. She made her way to the shop while fixing her high waisted jeans and me following right behind her.
Entering the shop , I felt cold air hitting me in the face which was a drastic change from the blaring hot sun outside. A guy behind the counter started talking to Cami but I lost interest in the conversation and started wandering around the store. Large neon signs covered an entire wall behind a tattoo chair thingy. Then on the other side of the room, polaroids covered a pin board completely with spotlights around showing every unique detail in each photo. The pictures were all so different but had one thing in common : beauty.
I found myself staring at the polaroids totally forgetting where I was. There was something about them, I can't explain it. I don't even have words to describe them properly.
-''Beautiful, unamissable creations'' a voice from behind snaps me back to reality answering my thoughts
I turn my focus to the source... It was the same guy I saw sitting outside yesterday. He was staring at me , and I was staring back. He has brown messy curly hair that looked so damn soft. Eyes soft and very intimidating hazel with flecks of green. His freckles covered most of his defined cheekbones and neck. His inviting pink lips spoke something but I wasn't listening.
He took a few steps closer , his smell attacking my lungs like fucking heaven. I needed oxygen. Like right now. So I back away just to hit the wall behind me.
-''I'm Theo'' he said holding his hand out for me to take.
I place my hand in his, feeling the cold rings I flinch slightly . He let's out a chuckle revealing a beautiful smile and a dimple on his left cheek.
-''You took those?'' I ask him about the photos
-''I did'' he says looking at me straight in the eyes
-''You're really talented'' I say slowly meaning my words
-''All I did was capture beauty in moments'' he answers. ''nothing special''
-''Don't doubt yourself. I find them very distracting in the most fascinating way possible'' I tell him
-''I'm glad'' he says , a smile forming on his beautiful face.
We stay like this for a while. I don't notice my hand still in his' until Cam and the counter guy enter the room speaking loudly. I quickly remove my hand from his light grip feeling strangely empty all off a sudden. Theo excuses himself and exits the room. It takes several minutes for my breathing to recover from my previous encounter with Theo.
Theo.
Counter guy guides Cam to the designated chair where he sits facing her while putting gloves on. I held her hand the whole time. It felt oddly wrong for some reason.
She decides on getting a rose on the outline of her breast.
Happy with her newly inked skin, Cam drives me back home and while she usually invites herself in, she stays in the car and claims she's meeting with her mom and can't stay over. I give her a warm hug and get out of the car and into the house. The familiar musk scent fills my senses and I'm instantly craving cupcakes. Entering the kitchen, I see gramps on a stool reading the newspaper with his huge glasses dipping low on his nose.
-''Hey Lemon!'' he says dropping his paper on the table to hug me
-''Hey gramps, can you bake me your famous cupcakes please'' I plead with my best puppy eyes that always worked on him.
-''Sure love, but could you go pick up some groceries from the store''
-''Of course, anything for cupcakes'' I reply blowing him a kiss and winking
He just smiles one of those heart warming smiles that melts anyone within a 5mile radius.
The ride to the store was short. I immediately check the list gramps gave me before I left and start looking for random items like butter and such.
After grabbing all he wrote down ,I make my way to the cash register where I come face to face with Laura : Cam's mom.
-''Laura hi! I thought you and Cam were meeting today?" I asked while tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear, a nervous habit I picked up over the years.
-''What? She told you that? I haven't seen Cam ever since last week sweetheart.'' ''She's been spending most of her days at her dad's house recently'' Laura replies with teary eyes and a tight smile.
-''Oh'' what
-''I'm sorry'' I say right back
-''Take care Aella. I'll see you soon'' she smiles sweetly
-''Yeah'' is all I manage to say
Cam lied to me?
That was so unlike her.
After devouring almost all the red velvet cupcakes gramps made me, I head to my laptop which was on my bed and browse the web for concert tickets for tomorrow's Arctic Monkeys' concert downtown.
Luckily I found 2 pit tickets and texted Cam.
(A)-Got 2 tickets for tomorrow i was hoping yould come with?
(A)-We need to talk
(C)-I'll meet you there xx
I fall asleep and dream of a certain pair of green eyes.
