Date Night

Jacob And Camila

Looking across at her date, Camila couldn't actually believe how well this evening was going.

Jacob had been the perfect gentleman, pulling out her seat, letting her choose first, asking about her, her life and her family. Even when she'd become emotional whilst talking about her grandfather's death he didn't attempt to lean in, to reach forward or to break the rules she had bestowed upon him

"So, tell me about the Mendes family, it's not the most Canadian name I have ever heard" Camila had spent a large part of the evening filling him in on all of the latest Cabello-Estrabao dramas so she felt it was only fair for him to spill his families guts as well.

"It's Portuguese, it's where my dad was born"

"I should have known you had some Latin blood in you, you little Romeo" Camila winked at him and she had never seen anyone smile so big in response to any thing she had ever done before.

"My um... My dad died when I was 4, as his family were all still in Portugal and mums were in England it was just left me, her and my brother to deal with it"

Reaching over, Camila couldn't help but break her own rule by stroking his forearm in sympathy

"Tell me about your mom"

"There's nothing to tell really, she's pretty great. Works hard, tries her best for us, everything you can ask for in a mom"

"And your brother... The manwhore, tell me about him, do you get on?"

"No, we never have, mum calls him the biggest mistake of her life"

Camila's face crumpled in shock at the thought of any mother ever saying that about their own child

"No, don't feel sorry for him, I see it in your face, he doesn't deserve it, he's an ass. He got a full scholarship to study music, his lifelong dream, 6 months later he's kicked out and we find home sitting in a jail cell"

"What did he do?"

"I'm not sure, mom won't say which means it must be pretty bad because she usually tells me everything"

"Aaaw, are you a mommy's boy?" Jacob can't help but blush

"I suppose you could say that"

"Don't be shy about it, it's sweet, in fact you have been really sweet all night, I have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised. So were you and your brother ever close?"

"Never, I have plans, dreams, I want to succeed, to be someone but he just seems to want to self destruct and take us all down with him"

"Well your mom let him come back so she must want him around, no matter what he's done"

"Are you kidding? My mom hates him, she only agreed to him coming back to keep him out of jail"

"But that's her son"

"He doesn't deserve to be called that Camila, he really doesn't, my mom is a good woman and he... Well any ways, this is our first date, let's just forget about my misfit brother and focus on us"

"Um, Jacob, remember... There is no us, there's only tonight. After this I told you, no more Flirting Fridays, no more stalking, no more drooling"

"Yeah, yeah, I know what you said but did you actually realise it would be like this??? We're talking and laughing and... I have never shared myself like this with anyone before, not the way I have with you tonight"

Camila laughed a little and shook her head before taking a sip of her soda

"Do you think I don't know how you work. I bet you use that line on every girl you bring here"

"For 3 months I haven't even thought about bringing another girl out, just you. My focus has been only on you. Camila, I want you to see past the jock image, the reputation and just see me. Jacob Jon Manuel Mendes. Now we are here and we are alone and it feels like this I can't even imagine seeing you at school on Monday and pretending tonight didn't happen"

"You're smooth Mendes, I give you that. I told you though there were rules to me agreeing to come here tonight" Camila fiddled with her straw as Jacob shifted uncomfortably on his chair

"And I agreed to them because you didn't tell me that you would look like this, like every image I ever had of you pales in comparison to the girl sitting on front of me tonight. You didn't tell me we would talk so easily or laugh so frequently" Camila sees his hand twitch as though he wants to reach out and touch her but he keeps control of himself, he follows the rules she set.

"Camila, I liked you when you were just Camila from school but I now that I know you like this I just... You gave me rules and I get it, but I want you to come back to mine, we can watch a movie, chill out and carry on getting to know each other. I promise I will stick to your rules until you tell me they don't apply anymore"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Lying on his bed later that night, Jacob couldn't help the irritation that was currently consuming him and refusing to let him sleep.

Dinner with Camila had been amazing, far beyond his wildest dreams and when she had agreed to head back to his house to watch a movie he thought that all of his Christmases had come at once.

He'd done everything she'd asked, abided by every rule she had set out and when they walked in to his house he assumed that the rules were about to be forgotten.

He'd got them drinks whilst Camila took his laptop on her knee and chose them a movie and he'd been more that a little surprised to find she had chosen Jaws instead of the insipid rom-coms his dates usually chose. Finally they had settled next to each other on the sofa as the opening credits began to roll.

After about 10 minutes of the movie Jacob felt brave enough to lift his arm, hoping to delicately wrap it around her shoulder but just as he was about to make his move his asshole brother began playing some piece of shit on his keyboard and Camila had immediately become enthralled

"What is that?" She'd asked, eyes wide and palm pressed to her chest

"My bone head brother ruining things as usual. Want me to tell him to cut it out?"

"No don't you dare, it's beautiful. Jacob he's so talented, I could listen to this for the rest of my life and never get sick of it"

And that had been that, for the next 15 minutes Jacob had pretended to watch the movie as Camila went on and on about his 'amazing' brother and his talented fingers.

Shortly after she had received a text from home and had abbruptly left. Evening over, no hand holding, no hugging, no kissing and definitely no need for the condom he had gotten from his brother.

Pulling a pillow over his head Jacob allowed his mind to be filled with all the ways in which he would like to hurt Shawn, all the ways he could wreak havoc on his miserable excuse for a life.

Turning up and making his and their moms life a misery was one thing but cockblocking him with Camila Cabello was taking it to a new level
