-Cameron's P.O.V.-

When the parents came over, I had to lie that me and Lauren were doing fine. I didn't want them to know I was in another relationship with Jessica. Even though we broke up, I miss her so much. She completes me, but when I am with Lauren, she just lights up my world.

During our talk, I held Lauren's hand. Her hands were soft and warm. It was such a wonderful feeling holding her hand. I could feel her hand tremble. After the talk, I suggested for all of us to go to the beach.

-Lauren's P.O.V.-

We walked down further to the beach. It was so beautiful in Venice. Once we found a comfortable spot, everyone sat on the sand. The moms talked and the dads waded in the water. I was enjoying the view until I was interrupted by Cameron.

"Could I talk to you?" Cameron said.

"Sure why not?" I said back. I was slightly confused to the fact that Cameron wanted to talk right now.

Cameron pulled me and held me by the waist. I held onto his waist, and I tried to hide my smile. Hopefully he couldn't feel my heartbeat skip a beat.

It felt wrong to have feelings for Cameron. He probably doesn't even like me. Maybe everything he is doing is just a friendly gesture.

"Well, about holding your hand and lying to our parents, sorry about that."

"I also want to say sorry for being so rude to you from the start. I apologize." Cameron said gazing deeply into my eyes. We stared for like 10 seconds.

I know, how awkward.

"I don't want our parents to find out we dated other people." Cameron said trailing off.

I gave an awkward head nod and was about to walk away when Cameron spoke up.

"I also..."Cam said nervously looking at the ground.

"You also what?...." I asked Cameron.

"I also.." Cameron immediately crashed his lips onto mine. It took me a couple of seconds for me to focus on what just happened. Happily, I responded back by kissing him. He held onto my waist while I held onto his cheek.

He stopped and said "I also think I like you, Lauren Miller." Cameron said grinning.

"Cameron that's so sweet. I feel the same way too." I said and embraced him into my arms. Cameron was so warm and his lips were so irresistible. This was the best first kiss ever. I just couldn't believe what just happened.

Maybe everything will play out the way I want it too.

-Cameron's P.O.V.-

I wanted to tell Lauren I was sorry for all the lying I did. I felt horrible. I knew me and Lauren weren't in good circumstances but I wanted to clear things up.

Lately I have been thinking about Lauren. I still am hurt after my breakup with Jessica, but my mind is occupied with Lauren. Crazy what love and sadness can do.

After talking to Lauren, I confessed to her and I told her how I felt. She looked so happy. We also kissed and it was amazing! It was much more different than Jessica's kisses. Lauren's kiss had a spark of light and a hint of sweetness. It was wonderful. What made things more great was that Lauren likes me back! But how are we gonna go with this? Are we gonna date?

Me and Lauren walked backed to our parents locking hands. When we got back everyone seemed so happy.

"Lauren did you get the D?" my mom said laughing.

"No Mrs.Dallas." Lauren chuckled. I laughed at that joke. My mother is crazy sometimes.

We spent a total of 2 hours at the beach, so we decided to head back. When we arrived home everyone took a shower and put on their pjs. My mom started cooking dinner.

My mom told me to tell Lauren dinner was ready. I quickly ran upstairs to Lauren's room.

"Hey Lauren. what are you doing?" I said pulling her into a back hug.

"Oh my gosh you scared me! Do you know how to knock?!" Lauren yelled and turned around.

"Sorry." I said and let go of her.

"Yeah, I am just unpacking my clothes." Lauren said smiling. Gosh her smile is so freaken gorgeous.

"Okay well dinner is ready." I said smiling back.

"Okay thanks." Lauren quickly put away her last item and catched up with my pace downstairs.

-Lauren's P.O.V.-

I was unpacking my clothes from prom and Cameron scared the crap out of me. He hugged me from the back. It was so cute but really scary at the same time.

When he let go, a ball of fire exploded inside of me. It was a feeling I could never explain. Cameron told me dinner was ready so I quickly ran downstairs and caught up with him.

During dinner, Mrs.Dallas made spaghetti and garlic bread. It was delicious. When were done the maids cleaned up our mess. Gosh I love the maids, they help out so much!

When everything was cleaned and put away, I went to my bedroom. I soon found my parents unpacking their things on my bed.

"Uh mom and dad, what are you guys doing?" I said.

"What do you mean? We are sleeping here and the Dallas's are sleeping in the guest bedroom." My dad said.

"Where am I sleeping though?" I whisper yelled.

"Oh with Cameron!" My mom said.

"Really?!" I yelled.

"Sweetie it's just for tonight!" my dad yelled.

I have them both a dirty look and grabbed my pillow and blanket and walked out.

I bet they had this all planned.

"Cameron..." I said, reaching his bedroom. I knocked on his door.
Cameron opened the door a couple seconds later.

"What is it Lauren?" He quietly asked. Cameron had his shirt off and I got a perfect view of his body.

"Take a picture it last longer." Cameron laughed. Those were the exact words he said at the beach. He made me so angry that day.
A sudden anger emerged through my body. I hated what happened that day and I didn't want him to ruin my day today from what he just said.

"I have to sleep with you tonight." I barely said. My voice was so low. I didn't want to talk to him. He was being a jerk now.

"Um okay?" Cameron said, not questioning why. He led me into his room. It was awfully clean for a boys bedroom. It smelled really good and it was spacious.

I threw my pillow and blanket onto the ground and plopped right on it.

"Aren't you sleeping with me on the bed?" Cameron asked me.

"This is better than the bed." I snapped. It really wasn't. I don't want to share a bed with him after what he said.

"What's wrong Lauren?" Cameron said. He came and sat by my side. Facing me he held onto my waist. It was killing me but I tried not to show it.

"Cameron, I just got really hurt by what you said. It just brought back some painful memories." I said gazing into his eyes.

"Sorry Lauren, I really am." Cameron scooped me up and laid me on his bed.

"Please forgive me?" Cameron said crashing his lips onto mine.
