CHAPTER 18: HEARTS
LUKE was going to pick me up from Zephyrs in 45 minutes, and I was still at home trying to decide what to wear.
He asked me out, on a date. More than Fuckshit ever did. And for some reason the only person I expected to be happy for me, was mad. Ruben couldn't hide it either.
I finally decided on a little maroon dress, that was in the middle of fancy and casual. I made sure to get a jean jacket to wear in case I got cold. It's been really cold in south Hollywood.
As I finished putting my hair half up half down, someone knocked on my door.
"Hello?" I asked opening the door to reveal my best friend.
"Happy Valentine's Day Cameron," Ruben said passing me a rose. I smiled, smelling the red petals.
"Thank you Ruben!" I said hugging him tight then letting him go to grab my purse.
"You look amazing Cam," Ruben said sitting on my bed. "Thanks Ru."
"I got to Ruben, I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked and he nodded. "Feel free to stay for as long as you want. I know your mom is going through a lot," I added and he smiled.
"Thanks Cam," he said and I nodded walking out of my room to see my mom standing in the living room.
"I thought you were going on the date with Ruben?" My mom asked and I shook my head, "what makes you think that?"
"Just the way you look at each other I suppose," My mom said and all I could think was what is that supposed to mean?
"Anyways have fun love!" My mom said and I nodded, "thanks mom have fun with Kate," I added peering over at my little sister, who surprisingly was still awake.
I walked out of the house and down the block to get the bus. Thank god the bus driver always misses a few stops.
I quickly got off the bus and walked over to Zephyrs, peering through the glass door.
Inside was Luke being interrogated my Fourthgrade and Fuckshit.
"Hey Luke," I said walking into the shop.
All the boys' attention turned to me, and they were drooling.
"Stop Fourthgrade," I said and he laughed.
"You look so pretty Cameron," Luke said and I smiled, "you too."
"Hey lil man I expect her to be back here before 10:30," Fuckshit said and I rolled my eyes.
"Enough Fuckshit," I retorted grabbing Luke's hand, "bye guys."
And as soon as we stepped outside of the shop Luke asked, "so why do they call you Summer?"
"Ruben gave me the name when I first met him. They've all called me Summer ever since," I explain still holding his hand.
"I could see you as a Summer," he mumbled and I smiled to myself.
"Okay come with me," Luke said pulling my hand and dragging me towards the trolley the next block down.
The only place the trolley went was the beach shops and back.
"Ready?" Luke asked and I nodded as we boarded the trolley.
"Of course," I responded, sitting next to the window and Luke sitting next to me.
"Cameron, you honestly look so beautiful," Luke said making me blush a reddish color.
"That really means a lot to me, Luke. Coming from you," I added and he gave me the most confused look.
"I just mean, like we haven't known each other for that long, and to hear that from someone sweet and a person that actually cares about me, you know," I explained and he nodded smiling to himself.
We got off only one stop later at Santa Monica pier. One of the places I had only been a few times, but brought me so many happy memories.
"Cam, Ferris wheel?" Luke asked after we rode a few rides and I nodded. It was the single handed best view of the ocean at the top. Beautiful.
We got in line, talking about small stuff, like skating and painting.
"No I promise you're amazing at painting, and you're only 15! I have not met one teenager as talented as you!" Luke exclaimed and I smiled.
"It was just paint? Nothing special," I said and he shook his head as we got to the front. A teenage girl asked for our wrist bands.
We quickly scanned them boarding a bright blue cart.
Luke sat across from me, holding my hand as we made our way to the top.
"Cameron, you mean the world to me. You would make me so happy if you could be my girlfriend," Luke said and I felt my heart just about beat out of my chest.
"Of course!" I said and he smiled reaching across the bucked to give me a kiss on the cheek.
That made another amazing night at Santa Monica.
I went up to my room after the night, and it was about 11.
Surprisingly Ruben was up stairs sitting on my bedroom floor, his legs sticking out.
"Hey Ru," I said sitting next to him.
"Cameron. I really have to do something and you can't freak out. I need to do this, because otherwise I will never do it," Ruben said and I nodded threading my eyebrows.
He leaned into me, planting a kiss on my lips. The last thing I would expect from my best friend.
