CHASING SUNRISE

Chapter 10: Bonfire Confessions

The weather is so good, a cold soft breeze is perfect for the night. Skies is lit by millions of stars illuminating brightly, as if I am into another dimension of the universe. The only visible light is the one from the lighthouse, and those from the cabins. The sound of waves crashing to the big rocks of this cliff, is like a lullaby that will lull you to sleep.

We just finished our dinner, and we made a bonfire to complete this camping experience.

Do you remember the bonfire when we were in Naples? Aeon asked.

You mean, the one after the amusement park? Nope I didn't enjoy it. Matt said.

That was so cliched. Besides, that's only for couples. Lance agreed with him.

That's right, I didn't join it, I'd slept in the bus instead. Chris answered.

Maika and I enjoyed it. Hey, it was fun. Bern defended.

Right it was cliched but I love the S'mores. I answered them.

You aren't together that time, am I right? Chris inquired.

Remember, I was so annoyed at that time to Aeon. Hahaha!

But he really made a lot of efforts that day, for you Celine. Chris reminded me.

Hahaha! Right. Because of his food, I allowed him to sit with me.

Just because of my food? Hey Celine, really? So, all my efforts was put to nothing. Aeon reacted.

Hahaha! Oops, sorry.

Hahaha! Tell us, when did you start to like him? Chris and his questions.

Huh? It's all in the past Chris, no need to bring that up again.

No, answer him Celine, I'd like to know also. Aeon insisted.

They were all waiting for my response.

Because I remember, I started to noticed you, right on your first day in Aberdeen. Aeon explained.

And you were jealous of Lance all the time. Chris added.

Hahaha! His mood was always sour when Celine and Lance were always together. Bern also added.

Well, I knew that Ae. If looks could kill, I was killed a long time ago. Lance joked.

Hahaha. So, Celine, tell us? Chris reminded me.

Silence.

I don't know, and I'm not planning to remember. Hey, why is it me? why don't you share something about yourselves.

Okay let me start. Matt started. Well, girlfriend is not my thing. Seriously after high school, I dated a lot of girls, I know I'm a playboy, maybe because of my looks and my abs, and my fame, but I haven't meet someone, who is a girlfriend or a wife material. But I always do it safely, so if any one claim, that I'm their father, c'mon hell no. DNA, baby. I'll ask for a DNA.

I don't have to share anything, I have Maika, and she's my forever. Were' planning to have the wedding in December so better to clear your calendars.

Well, I dated only two girls in my whole life. The last one was a year ago, remember Diana, after that, I haven't meet another one again. You know, I want a serious long-term relationship Matt. Try it, it really is worth it. Chris shared.

Hmm... I'd like Celine for myself but I don't think she thinks of me that way. I more than like a brother to her. I dated thrice already, but my priorities right now are my two babies. Lance added.
