Be Mine

Sweet Cuddles

Cole's POV
No, no, no, no, I can't believe this is happening right now! I have shared some kisses with Camila, but I never thought of someone actually taking pictures of us. I'm so stupid, I should've seen something like that coming. Lili was still standing furious, waiting to explain ourselves. As about KJ, Casey, Vanessa and Mads, their mouths were literally about to touch the floor. Camila was shocked and I could see a few tears forming in the corners of her eyes. She mouthed 'how did she found that we are here?' at me and I mouthed back that she found us from our Instagram stories. I quickly looked at her with worry for a few seconds and stood up, looking at Lili with anger.

"YOU, BITCH! HOW DARE YOU TO KISS COLE?! AND WHEN I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!!" yelled she and I got angrier. No one talks about my Cami like that.

"Hey, let me tell you something, Lili, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

"Still waiting for you to explain THIS!"

I couldn't just say that Camila and I kissed at McDonald's. Especially not in front of everyone. I took the phone off of Lili's hands and looked at Cami. She looked back at me and shrugged.

"I-I...This is photoshop! The lighting is different and I would never kiss my best friend, for God's shake. Just get a life, Lili and stop trying to steal one," I said and Cami slightly smiled. I came up with a pretty good excuse.

"Yes, Cole is right! It's jusssttt photoshop, you know, people do that a lot. Not my fault if you don't know about it, Lili. Now get the hell out of here," Camila said. I can say that Mads wasn't convinced with that lie and neither was Lili.

"That doesn't seem like photoshop to me, Mendes. It looks pretty real and you know what? You're a fucking slut, who goes with everyone. That's why I never liked you. You're a bitch, and a whore, and--"

"--Well, I'm sorry for your pathetic life, but that doesn't mean thar you have to destroy mine. And I'm also sorry about being your best friends all those years. I should've understood that you are a snake. Fuck you!"

Cami formed tears in her eyes again and I decided to stop that freaking bitch from talking too much. No one insults Camila Mendes in front of me without being beaten up.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, LILI! IF ALL THOSE THINGS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE FOR CAMI, THEN YOU'RE WRONG! YOU'RE ALL OF THESE, NOT CAMILA. AND LET ME TELL YOU WHAT, YOU WON'T TELL ME WHO I CAN KISS AND WHO I CANNOT. I KISS WHOEVER I WANT. Even if I kissed Camila, which I didn't, that wouldn't matter to you, because it's MY LIFE and I do WHATEVER I WANT WITH IT! I can kiss whoever I want, understood? Now, you heard what she said, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"I was literally screaming my lungs out and probably the whole restaurant heard everything. I threw her phone away - I don't even care if I broke it - and pushed her out. The other guys showed Lili their middle finger as she left. I sat back to my seat like nothing happened.

"So, it was a photoshop, guys?" KJ asked. Cami and I nodded. I could sense her anxiousness, so I held her hand and stroked it with my thumb. After a long talk, we all ended up agreeing that it was just photoshop, even if Casey and Vanessa insisted that 'Colemila is endgame'. It was getting a little bit late. I gave Cam a ride to home. We didn't speak at each other at all during the ride. She unlocked the door of her apartment and got in. I was about to leave, when she grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"Just stay, Cole. I really need someone right now. I'm not okay after all that things at the restaurant, plus I have a massive headache. Please?"

"Anything for the raiven-haired princess."

I got in, as well and she closed the door.

Camila's POV
I laid on the couch after kicking my heels off and wearing some comfier clothes. Cole grabbed a glass of water and an aspirin for me.

"I'm so sorry. I created all this mess. I should have never kissed you. And I mean all the times that we kissed. I'm just a pain on the ass for your life. I'm sorry. I really am," I said and he took my hands in his.

"Don't be, Cam. You're not trouble for me. Lili is the real motherfucker pain on the ass. She always was. I should have never dated her. Take the aspirin now. You'll feel a little bit better, okay, beautiful?"

I nodded and drank the water, gulping down the aspirin. Cole placed his hand on the back of my neck and pulled it towards him, planting his soft lips on my forehead for a whole minute. I couldn't help but blush. I'm seriously in love with him and there's nothing I can do about it. He pulled away and pecked my nose.

"Do you feel any better?" Cole asked and I nodded. His kisses always make me feel better. Suddenly, my phone started ringing and it was Madelaine. Oh, my God, Madelaine! She knows everything about me and Cole!

"I'll pick this up," he said and I panicked, but my headache was huge enough to not let me get up from the couch.

"Just don't answer. I'm tired," I quickly responded and he said ok. I waited for him to talk with me for a long, but his face was stuck at my phone. I wonder what was he observing with such an attention.

"What are you looking at? Come here and cuddle with me!"

"Oh, sorry. I guess, I was watching all the photos of me in your camera album, which you've named 'Cole got hot'. You have a pretty good taste on guys, I can say," Cole chuckled and my face turned red. I've absolutely forgotten about it.

"Shut it, I don't like like you."

"I know, I'm just messing with you, silly. By the way, it's getting too hot, can I take my jeans off?"

"Sooo, that would leave you in your underwear?" I asked, feeling my cheeks burning. My heartbeats were getting impossible to control.

"I guess so. Is that okay with you?"

"S-Sure, sure!"

Cole took his jeans off and threw them God knows where. Great. I'll cuddle with the guy, I currently has a massive crush on, who will be half naked and I'm expecting for myself not to be awkward or sweat at all. What am I thinking?

I slowly got up, so Cole could lay on the couch, too, and I laid on him. He wrapped his arms around me.

"Thank you, Cole."

"About what?"

"About everything. And most importantly about defending me and lying to everyone for me. You could have said the truth. You know that it would only embarrass me. I was the one who kissed you."

"I would never let something like that happen. If you're hurting, I'm hurting, too, remember? And about the defending part, it was the last thing I could do."

"You're an amazing human being, Coliekins. I...I'm so thankfull to be your best friend."

"No matter what, I love you, Cami. And I always will. You know that, don't you?"

"I do," I mumbled but loud enough so he could hear me. It hurts to hear him saying that he loves me as a friend and only. And that's because I love him more than that....

I should deal with it..

Cole's POV
Camila slowly started falling asleep in my arms. She snuggled closer to my chest and I tightened my arms around her. She looked so peaceful, pretty, adorable, sweet and sleepy. I want to hold her forever. I kissed her hair and whispered good night. In response, I felt a pair of lips on my chin and looked down to see her half asleep. She's adorable. If anyone ever tries to touch even a piece of my truffle's hair, I'll cut their arms off. Camila is mine. And I will always protect her.

I closed my eyes and rested my head on hers. Our legs were tangled and my lips were softly touching her hair/forehead.

"I love you," I wishpered and she mumbled something, but I couldn't hear it. All I know, is that we fell asleep together. In each other's arms. And I loved every second of it.
