The Badass!

Chapter 16

A/N: So somehow, Samantha and Nick are going to be playing cupid for Sienna and Cameron (Sieron) in this chapter.

Hope you like it!

P.S: It's a really bad chapter. I'm so sorry about that.

After visiting Cameron, I went to the bathroom for a quick shower. I tried not to think about Cameron and how different he was today. I tried not to be so worried about him being sick. Mostly, I tried convincing myself that every boy could look cute wearing pajamas. That too long sleeves.

As soon as I was about to call Maria on the phone, Nick came in my room, and he looked so adorable with his Ben Ten pajamas. He came up to me, and kissed my cheek.

"Hi Sienna. I've missed you." He spoke, while rubbing his cute little eyes.

"Missed me? But Nicky, it's only been a few hours since I last saw you." I chuckled sweetly, and engulfed the little boy in a hug. "What happened Nick? All okay?" I asked him patiently, as I patted him on the back.

He took a deep breath, and looked into my eyes. "Sienna, I'm really close to Sammy. What if we ever get in a fight? I don't want to lose her. Ever. She's my best friend." He spoke softly to me, while I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Wow honey, you're really close to her. Okay, come here." I patted my bed, for him to sit on it. I let out a sigh. "Little brother, I know you care for Sam a lot. Even I do. You know, in life, we tend to meet great people. You may get very attached to this person. In this case, it's your Sammy. Don't worry if you ever fight with her. This is what makes your friendship strong." I told him, remembering the words Cameron had told me once.

Nick looked at me, before saying, "Like you and Cameron. Right?"

I looked at him in shock. "Yes, like Cameron and I." At first, when I talked to Cam, he never seemed to be a nice person. He used to be very arrogant, head held high, and talked to only his closest friends. But, as I see the same Cameron now, I wonder how he became so different. He was still arrogant but he did talk to me nicely now.

Nick, who was now sitting on my bed, yawned, and asked me, "Do you think Cameron is nice?"

I laughed and replied, "Yes, I find him very nice."

"Is he your best friend? Do you like him?" Nick asked me, with his innocent face.

"Well.... I don't know sweety. All I know is that I enjoy his company, like you enjoy Sam's company. But I don't know if he is my best friend. Or if I like him. Now, I think it's already pass your bed time." I chuckled softly.

"Sien, can I please sleep in your room today? I don't want to sleep alone, because Mommy and Daddy will be coming home late today. I am scared." He looked at me, with his cute little smile, and tired eyes, and obviously I said yes.

I helped him to sleep by reading him a sweet story of 'Goldilocks and the three bears' and his eyes slowly closed, and he was now sleeping with his back facing me. I decided to sleep as well, since it was getting late, and I had school.

I hugged Nick from the back, before saying, "Good night Nicky." I kissed his temples, and slowly, my eyes became heavier, and I felt myself falling asleep.

After a long day in school, I thought back to the words that Nick was telling me yesterday. How close he was to Sam, and how he asked me about Cameron and I. I couldn't let the fact that Cameron was one of my favourite people, out of my mind. Nor could I ever tell this to Cameron.

Today, Cam was absent again, but I guess he was still sick. When Maria dropped me home today, I decided to watch movies, since I didn't have any homework. I was planning to go meet Cameron and have a chat, but I went against it.

I changed quickly to comfortable short pants and a tank top of blue colour, with writing on it, and sat on the couch facing the large screen TV.

I was in the middle of watching my favourite movie, Chasing Liberty. As soon as Mandy Moore and Matthew Goode were about to kiss in the Gondola Ride, hands covered my eyes, and I began panicking. I was shocked, because I thought I was the only one home today, but when the person holding my eyes spoke, "Guess who, little miss clumsy?"

"Cameron, you actually scared me. It's doesn't always happen that a teenage girl who's home alone, has hands covering her eyes." I told him, as soon as I slapped his hands away.

"Hey, who said you're home alone?" He asked me, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Well I thought nobody was here. Who let you in anyway?"

"Actually I thought of stalking you all the way to your house. And so I broke into your house." He told me, his eyes filled with amusement.

"What?!!!!!" I yelled so loudly, that even the neighbours could hear.

"Relax Thompson, I was here to drop Samantha and Nick home. Don't get your hopes high." He sent me a wink before sitting on the couch.

"Who said I had high hopes?" I asked him, before following his same actions. I took the remote control and paused the movie. "Now that you're actually done dropping those two, aren't you going to go home?" I asked him, with one eyebrow raised.

"Well, I can go if you want me to." He began by rising up from the chair, but I caught his wrist before he could leave.

"Stay."

"Don't you think this scene is a bit cliché?" He asked me, and sat back on the couch. I rolled my eyes, and played the movie again.

During the rest of the movie, I kept gushing about how cute Matthew Goode was, and Cameron kept groaning. He kept saying, "I'm much cuter than him though, right?" That arrogant boy finally kept quiet after I sent him a death glare.

After the movie ended, I stood up to go to the kitchen, and make some popcorn. I did so, and returned to the living room. Cameron was now standing, as he began surfing through the pile of movies. He chose to watch "Insidious: Chapter 2" and it wasn't long before we began arguing between ourselves. I was desperate to watch Legally Blonde, because I haven't seen it before, and I wanted to see Reese Witherspoon's acting.

We finally decided to watch Insidious: Chapter 2. Yay! Nope, I'm not happy about this at all. I thought that Cameron would be kind enough to go with my choice. I mean this is my house, and once I told him that, he just shrugged it off, and sent me a killer smirk. After that, I gave in.

We were soon watching the movie, which was the pathway to my death. Seriously. I was extremely scared. Throughout the movie, my hands were shaking, and I screamed when there were scary parts, which were a lot. But most of all, I got so scared, that when Cameron saw me, his eyes were filled with concern and guilt. He scooted closer to me, and wrapped his hand around my shoulder and brought me closer to him. He allowed me to lay my head on his shoulder.

I didn't really think so deep into this gesture, since we're just friends, right?

Nonetheless, when my head rested on his shoulder, all I could think about was the way my heart was beating, and how I could smell the scent of his body cologne. It was Abercrombie and Fitch, as usual. Most of all, I could also feel my stomach slowly turning.

This was the slow start to something new.
