we sit outside my house just talking when i notice my dad is home, weird he wasn't supposed to be back this early. i was thinking of inviting anthony in but i don't want him to meet my dad.

"hey what's wrong? you seem distant?" anthony asks but i don't answer, i'm too zoned out.

"cam" he gently says while bringing his hand up to my chin and turning my head towards him. we lock eyes and tears just start to role down my face silently.

"tell me what's wrong" he says, looking genuinely concerned.

"i just had such a good day today and i began to wonder how my life would be if everyday made me as happy as today did. sorry i just got a little emotional." i say trying to look down, only to have him push my chin back up.

"i don't know everything you've been through but i know that you are fragile and vulnerable, you try to hide it by looking tough but you let down your guard today and you let me see what's really going on in that pretty little head of yours" he said, moving a piece of hair out of my face and behind my ear slowly.

we sit there staring into each other's eyes while he began to move closer, glancing down at my lips, the butterflies i once had just intensified greatly and i close my eyes to calm down.

"what are you thinking about" he asks, our foreheads resting on each other

"i'm nervous" i admit

"how come?" he pushes

"because i wanna kiss you" i kind of giggle and begin to move my head when he grabs my face and just holds it straight in front of his face.

"then do it" he says with a smile

"you sure?" i say, looking at his lips and moving closer.

nothing more was said as he slowly pressed his lips into mine. they were so soft and just the way that his passion in the kiss matched mine made me love this so much more. his hand moved to my jaw as he deepened the kiss. i bring both my hands to hold the side of his face before we both pulled away.

we smile at each other like idiots for a few seconds before i lean in and give him one more little peck on the lips.

"really, thank you for today, you have no idea how much it meant to me" i say, really meaning it.

"anytime, i promise, just text me and i'm here." he says while both of us get out of the car and walk towards his.

we hug each other for a little while until he turned my face to him and gave me one last kiss before getting in his car and leaving me alone with my father.

i sigh before turning around and walking into the house.

"hey darling" my dad says as soon as i walk in.

"hi" i quickly say, trying to hurry and get to my room.

"were you with a boy?" he steps in front of me to ask.

"you were at the door so i'm betting you saw him" i say while rolling my eyes.

"whatever, where's your mother? why isn't she here?" he changes the subject.
