mr. mysta had only begun his planning. he had more in store for the young actors.
"china! cameron? my office." he said, cheerfully. the two followed him into his cozy office.
"let's get to the point. i don't see the chemistry between you two. you guys act like you haven't known each other since you were 7. i want you guys to go on some dates, hang out for the next few days. we'll start on all the scenes without you, so your not delaying us. i'll pay for a cabin in the mountains for you. no outside distractions. sound good?" he proposed.
"i'm cool with it if china is cool." cameron said, nonchalantly.
"seems fun. i'll start packing." china said. mr. mysta dismissed them for the day and they got themselves ready. china was nervous. her and cameron, one bed, for 3 nights? she was shaking at the thought. cameron was excited. he hadn't been able to catch up with china in a while, so he thought this was going to relaxing and cool.
the two pulled up and the cabin. cameron saw china struggling with her bags so he rushed over.
"it's 4 days and 3 nights. why did you pack every piece of clothing you've ever bought?" he joked.
"i'm spontaneous." china explained. they made it into the house.
"so should we order take out?" china asked.
"sounds good." cameron said and smiled. he thought china looked beautiful in a fresh way. no make up, hair in a bun, sparkling pure brown eyes. he noticed china shivering. he dove into his backpack and grabbed a red hoodie.
"here, keep it." he said. she smiled.
"cameron, why don't you have a girlfriend? your great kisser and your so sweet." she said. she put on the hoodie.
"ugh! yes, it smells like cologne." she said. cameron chuckled.
"i don't have a girlfriend because i've been reserved..." cameron trailed off.
"why? your literally the perfect bachelor." china said, texting:
"i kinda have a crush on a girl." he said. china popped up.
"omg! who is it? cam, we have to get you two together. who is she? do i know her? *gasp* is it dove?" she badgered.
"no. actually...china...it's-."
"take out!" someone behind the door yelled.
"damn, that was fast." china said. she ran to the door, and paid the man.
"this smells amazing...so what were you saying?" she asked.
"um..." he started. he was wondering if telling her would change anything. hell, it would change everything.
"oh yeah! who's is she?" china asked. she looked at me patiently, batting her long eyelashes. her perfectly glossed lips sitting their waiting. her eyes, sparkling, once again. cameron was staring. he was leaning in, step by step. soon, when he was so close he could smell the watermelon on her lipgloss.
"it's you," he said, as he smashed his lips into hers. china didn't kiss back for a good second; soon, she slowly started to kiss back. he laid her down on the bed, holding her waist close to his. he started to kiss her neck. china was starting to realize where this was as going. cameron started to lift her top.
"no, no. stop." she quickly said. he immediately stopped.
"what's wrong?" he asked. china looked down.
"let's just eat..." she quietly said. china had deep rooted confidence issues. she wasn't ready for cameron to see all of her. cameron was heartbroken. he was thinking she hated him, and now things were weird. his confidence was shattered. they quietly ate their meal as jerry springer played in the background.
each wallowing in their insecurities.
