It was just like any other day that I'd had so far down in Florida on my vacation with my two best friends, Chelcie & Tabi. I was out at a mall in Orlando shopping for something to wear for dinner that evening.
As I was just about to give up, I decided to take a look in Forever 21 and I found the perfect outfit!
On my way out of the mall I noticed a Starbucks and decided to go on ahead and get something to drink for the drive back to the beach house. I went inside and ordered my usual, a grande Valencia orange refresher with strawberry juice instead of water, and waited patiently while they made it.
As I was walking out I noticed a somewhat tall, extremely attractive guy wearing a loose knit sweater with the hood up. It was Cameron fucking Dallas. I knew Cameron was down in Florida that week, but good god how was I supposed to know we were going to be in THE SAME Starbucks.
I looked at him and said "are you who I think you are..?"
He just looked at me with an adorable little smile, chuckled and said "Well, I'm not sure. Who exactly do you think I am?"
"Cameron?" I shyly said.
"Well then you're correct." He said with a smile as he softly nudged me.
"Can I please get a picture with you? Oh my god, this seriously can't be real life"
"Of course you can beautiful. Hey Bryant, will you go on ahead and take a picture on your camera as well, if she doesn't mind?" He said as they both looked at me.
"No, of course you can." I stated.
I handed Bryant my phone and Cameron put his arm around me and leaned into me as we both smiled.
When it came time for Bryant to take a picture on his camera, Cameron kissed my cheek and I just smiled like an idiot.
"Oh my goodness, I have to go, I'm gonna be late. Thank you so much Cameron. You have no idea how much this means to me. I'll never forget today. So seriously, thank you." I said as I began to walk away.
I suddenly felt a hand lightly wrap around my wrist and kind of pull back.
"Wait," Cameron said.
I was shell shocked, he was stopping me from leaving. ME.
"What did you say your name was again?"
"I didn't say it, but it's Olivia." I replied.
"Okay, it was great to meet you Olivia." He said as he smiled and pulled me in for a hug.
It was one of those hugs where it literally felt like he meant it, you know? And coming from Cameron Dallas to some random fan that he'll most likely never see again, I felt pretty damn special.
The hug lingered for a while. I took in his masculine scent and his strong arms as they were wrapped around me.
I began to slowly pull away seeing as how I had an hour to drive to get back to the beach house and was definitely going to be late.
"I'm so sorry, I really have to go. It was amazing to finally meet you Cameron." I said as I climbed up on my tip toes to kiss his cheek then turned around and walked away.
I took my time walking out to my car. I couldn't determine if that moment had actually just happened or if it was just a very realistic dream. I even stopped walking a few times to pinch myself.
I was definitely awake.. That really just happened.
When I got out to my rental car, I climbed into the drivers seat then threw my bags into the backseat.
I just sat there for a minute and thought about what had just happened and thought about how long he held me in that hug and how he had stopped me from walking away.. Did he do that with all of his fans?
I pulled out my phone and looked at the picture that Bryant had taken and set it as my lock screen on my iPhone.
I decided I should probably call Chelc and Tabs to let them know that I would be late and of course tell them about what had just happened.
"Hello?" Chelc said when she answered.
"You with Tabi?"
"Yeah, we're down at the beach right now. We were just getting ready to go back inside to get ready for tonight. What's up?"
"Put me on speaker, this is insane."
"Okay, you're on speaker, what's up?"
"You guys will never guess who the fuck I just ran into at Starbucks here at the mall.."
"Oh my god, is your ex down here or something?"
"No.. Take one more guess."
"Uhhhh... Cameron Dallas?" They said as they both started laughing hysterically.
"Yes."
"You're joking Liv."
"No I'm not. Hold on I'll send you the picture. I'll just talk to you guys about it when I get home. I should be there in about an hour."
"Okay. We'll be drooling over the picture and secretly hating you for meeting him. Be careful!"
"Okay, I'll see you guys in a little bit. Bye." I chuckled as I hung up the phone.
I started the car and pulled out of the mall parking lot. This was going to be a long drive back.
