Austin Mahone's California Love Story

Chapter 10: Learning Lifestyles

Austin

I haven't been able to keep my mind off Camila since the party. I didn't want to text her just in case if Carlos or anyone else was keeping an eye on her phone. At school I stop myself from coming up to her when I see Jorge following her every step of the way. I wait for her in a janitor's closet when she comes by. I grab her arm to drag her into the closet.

"Dios mío." She gasps, "Austin, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry I just wanted to be sure that you were okay after what happened."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just an argument but nothing I couldn't handle." She continues to look out the crack of the door. "The only problem right now is Jorge. He's following me everywhere and watching my every move."

"Then we should be more careful with ourselves."

She looks at me with a stun face, "What? You mean you still want to...after seeing the tight leash my brother has me on?"

"To be honest your brother isn't the one that's been on my mind lately."

She smiles, "I have to go before Jorge notices I'm gone from his sight." Before leaving she pecks my mouth with her lips, "I'll see you in Spanish class."

At lunch I'm anxious to go to Spanish class, the only place where I can be in the same room with Camila and without Jorge standing by.

"Alright bro, give me some info." Jake says taking the seat next to me.

"What're you talking about?"

"What's going on between you and Camila?" He emphasizes his question with the rise of his eyebrows.

I shrug my shoulders, "I went on a date with her. What's the big deal?"

"Dude, Jorge is out for you. What did I tell you about that girl? You didn't listen and now you've gotten yourself into some serious trouble."

I laugh to how much he's overreacting to this as though it was his problem to deal with, "I get it, bro. I should've listened, but I couldn't help myself."

"You're lucky it's just him and not the whole Hispanic group."

"Yeah, I get that can you drop it and talk about something else?"

"Oh come on, not even one little detail about what happened on the date?" I stare at him hoping that he would move on to another subject until he gets the hint. "Alright, I'll drop it...for now."

Finally Spanish class comes around and I get to see Camila. She's working hard at Mrs. Nunez's desk shuffling, filing, and grading papers from this class and others. She looks beautiful with her hair straightened; even though, she looks just as stunning with her hair naturally curled. I raise my hand for her help when she finishes which works pretty quickly.

She leans over my desk, "How can I help you?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to come over my house after school." I say.

"Oh that sounds very tempting."

"It's not what you think." I don't want her to think I'm trying to get her into bed. "My housekeeper wants to meet you."

"Your housekeeper," She says confusingly.

I chuckle, "I may have mentioned you to her. Besides she's like family to me."

She smiles, "Alright, but we have to do something about Jorge. If he finds out he'll got to Carlos then you and me both will be screwed."

I smile back, "As long as it involves you and me together I won't mind it." In all seriousness we do have to be careful. I don't care what happens to me but I don't want to be the cause of Camila getting into trouble.
