A New Life

part 11

*Cassies pov*
We pulled into Chris' driveway and there were people EVERY WHERE. I started getting nervous. "Cameron, I'm not going to know anyone here" I said nervously still sitting in the passenger seat. He leaned over and put his hand on my right thigh. "It's okay Cass, I'm here. I won't leave your side. We will go in together and walk out together. Okay?" he said. "Okay" I nodded. He leaned in closer by me. Finally, he was about to kiss me. He got just centimeters from my face and just when he was about to kiss my lips he went right past them and placed a soft gentle kiss on my nose. Such a tease.

We got out of the car and walked hand in hand into the party. "Let's go find Chris" he told me. "Okay." We walked to the kitchen and saw him in there. "Yoooo, Cam! Cassie! Glad yall could make it!" Chris said excitedly. "You're lookin pretty fire tonight Cassie" he said winking at me. Camerons grip on me got tighter and I felt him pull me in closer. I could tell Chris had a little bit much to drink by the smell of his breath and his balance was a tad off. "Happy Birthday" I said just shaking it off what he just told me. I knew it made Cameron upset because he still hasn't let go of his tight grip. "Thank you beautiful" Chris told me. I wrapped my free arm around Camerons, rubbing his forearm trying to let him know it was okay. He shook his head at Chris and said "Come on Cassie, let's go" while dragging me with him. We walked up stairs and went into what looked as a guest room. He shut the door behind us and sat on the bed. "I'm sorry about that Cassie, it's just Chris gets a little out of hand when he drinks. Which is the reason why I hardly ever go to parties with him anymore. It's too much to handle." I walked over by him to the bed and sat next to him. I grabbed his hand and while holding it said "It's fine Cameron, it really is. Don't worry about it" I then heard footsteps coming up the stairs. The door opened and standing there was Chris. He walked inside. Cameron put his arm around my waist and pulled me in close. "What do you want Chris?" Cameron asked him in an aggravated tone. "Oh come on Cam, don't be mad. I was just complementing the girl. It's not my fault she looks hot." "Okay, you could have complimented her once. You didn't have to keep on going with it. She's here with me. Not you." Chris started walking closer towards me. Cameron's grip got tighter. "Yeah, but what if I want her?" Chris said dumbly.
"What?! You're crazy. Come on Cassie. We're leaving." Cameron yelled. As soon as I got up to leave with Cameron, Chris grabbed me from him and threw me down on the bed kissing me. It was only for a mid second before Cameron was yanking him off of me and swung to hit his face. He hit Chris so hard he fell to the floor with a bloody nose. "Cameron!" I screamed. "I'm so sorry Cassie!" he said grabbing me giving me a tight hug. "Come on, let's go" he said dragging me out the door. We walked out of the house and onto my doorstep not saying anything, he still looked all shook up from what just happened. I didn't want to leave him like this. "Hey, look. My moms not home and she won't be home tomorrow afternoon. She's at work right now. You can stay the night if you want." "Okay" he said. I unlocked the door and we walked in. "I have to go use the bathroom but you can just go into my room if you want. You know where it is." He laughed and said okay. When I got into my room he was sitting on the foot of my bed waiting. I crawled onto the top of my bed by the head board. "Cassie, I am so so sorry that this happened. I just wanted tonight to be perfect and then you got hit on and practically raped by my bestfriend." I didn't say anything. It did bother me that Chris kissed me, but I wasn't going to say anything about it. I didn't want him feeling any worse about it. I patted the side of where I was sitting telling him to come. He crawled to the spot. "Are you okay?" he asked me. "I am now." I told him. "You pulled him off of me when he was forcefully kissing me. Thank you."
"Hey, I promised you I would never let anyone hurt you again." I looked down. I felt his finger underneath my chin tilting my head up to where our eyes were connected. He tilted his head and leaned a little closer to my face whispering softly,  "And I never break a promise." His right hand cupped the side of my face bringing our lips together in a slow soft kiss. He pulled back his head and brought it back meeting my lips again. His bottom lip hovering over my top. It was such a sweet and gentle kiss. It was perfect. Beyond perfect. He pulled back, staring into my eyes with his right hand still cupped on my face. His thumb was rubbing my cheek as he smiled and kissed my forehead. I was starting to get tired but I didn't want this to end. "I think we should get some sleep, it's almost 2 am. Ill sleep down here" he said getting down on the floor. I didn't have carpet so the ground is hard and cold. I didn't want him to sleep on that. "No, it's fine. You can sleep up here with me. I don't mind." I explained. "Are you sure?" he asked. "Yeah, it's okay."
"Okay, he said" turning over the blankets and getting in. "Is it okay if I sleep with my shirt off? I usually sleep with just boxers on but tonight I can deal with pants." "Yeah it's fine, you can take your shirt off." I assured him, knowing it does get hot. He took off his shirt and put it besides the bed. "Goodnight" I told him. "Goodnight beautiful" He leaned into me and gave me a long soft kiss on my forehead before wrapping his arms around my waist cuddling me to sleep.
