A/N I am so sorry I haven't updated in so long I got writers block and I'm sorry the chapters are so short I'm kind of new at the whole writing thing so I'm working on it... Anyways Enjoy this new chapter.
The drive to the restaurant was quiet and not the good kind either in was awkward. We're usually so comfortable around each other and now we can't even look each other in the eye. I park in front of the Grille and I get out the car to open the door for Cameron. We walk up to the restaurant and we wait in line for our reservation. We finally make it inside of the restaurant and the waitress shows us to our table and we sit down.
"Hi my name is Alex and I will be your waitress for tonight, what can I get you to drink?" she smiles at us cheerily as she also places menus in front of us.
"I'll have a sprite please." I say.
"I'll have a diet coke." Cameron says
"Okay I'll be right back with your drinks." The waitress leaves and I look at Cameron.
Everything seems so awkward. I'm sure it's because we're nervous. We steal small glances at each other while looking at our menus deciding what to order.
"Their steaks are really good so is their shrimp." I say. I twiddle my thumbs nervously not making eye contact with her.
"Yeah
"Here's your drinks ladies." She sets our drinks in front of us.
"Thank you." I say. I open my straw and put it inside my drink. A few more minutes passed by me and Cam hasn't said a word. "Um… Cam is everything okay?" I ask cautiously.
"Yeah everything is fine I'm just really nervous I've never been on a date before." She says still avoiding eye contact with me. I grab her hand from across the table and finally get her to look at me.
"It's okay be to be nervous I haven't been on a date with anyone since Emily and I broke up… so I'm just as nervous as you are." I say smiling at her. We get interrupted when the waiter comes ove3r to take our orders.
"I'll have the fried shrimp with alfredo pasta on the side." I say handing the waiter my menu.
"I'll have the same too please." Cameron hands the waitress her menu and we fall into easy conversation the awkwardness behind us. "What are we doing after this?"
"Um we're going dancing." I answer. "Dinner and a movie is something everyone does on a date and I wanted to do something different."
"Dancing sounds like fun, but I'm warning you I am a terrible dancer." We both laugh.
"Trust me I'm not that good either."
The waitress finally comes over with our meals and we eat. Conversation was light, easy, and it seemed like Cameron was enjoying herself and I'm having fun. It's not the same as when I was with Emily but I don't think any relationship I will have in the future would be like that. Our first swim practice starts tomorrow and I'm really excited but also worried since Emily and I are co-captains I don't know how we are going to make things better. Cameron is on the swim team too so that brings even more issues. I'll figure it out eventually.
Once we are done with our meals we leave the restaurant and start driving to the dance club. Cameron brought up a question that she has never asked me ever since we met.
"What happened between you and Emily?" I swallow the lump in my throat and sigh.
"I was having problems at home with my dad, he used to beat me up whenever he got mad at something I did or was drunk, One day he beat me up so bad I went to the hospital and I while I was there Emily and Hanna went to party…" I pause taking a deep breath. "I asked a friend of mine to look after her while she was there and instead she slept with her."
"So Emily cheated on you, while you were hurt in the hospital." Cameron tries to clarify.
"Yep pretty much I found out who she slept with and I was furious and went to school the day after she told me and punched the girl right in the face and then I told Emily that I needed a break and decided to be friends."
"Wow that sounds intense, but you two don't even speak to each other."
"I know I've tried to before but she's changed she doesn't hang out with the girls anymore and she's skipping school to be honest I'm kind of worried that she'll go back to the way she was after Maya died." I say truthfully. "You're not mad are you?"
"No of course not Emily is still your friend and you can talk to whoever you want to talk to, if I were you I would be worried too." She answers. "Who's Maya?"
"Emily's on again off again ex who was murdered last year."
"You should talk to Emily the next time you see her make sure she is okay."
"Really?"
"Yeah I would hate it if she did something to herself losing someone is never easy."
"Yeah okay I'll talk to her."
"Tell me about your exes." I say trying to change the subject.
"I don't have any you're the first person I've ever dated."
"Seriously, but you're so beautiful and kind."
"I never really wanted to date since I move around so much but I just couldn't say no to you, I think you are amazing Paige and I want to give us a chance." She says.
"Well I'm glad to be your first girlfriend."
"Me too." She gives me a kiss on the cheek and I blush.
After that we sit in silence until we get to the club. We take out our fake ids but we aren't going to drink or anything it's just that we could get in. There are a lot of people in the club. I didn't think there would be this many people here. Cameron takes my hand and leads us to the dance floor. She stops when she sees a spot on the dance floor.
Cameron spins her body in order for her backside to meet my front. I rest my hands on her waist. As the rhythm of the song slowed Cameron brought her hand to the back my head effectively exposing that entire side of her body. I bring my face closer to Cameron's allowing my lips to brush against the blonde girl's neck. My heart is pounding. I hope she doesn't notice. Her hips start moving and I almost died. Damn this girl can dance. I thought she said she couldn't dance. She is so hot and I wonder what she sees in me hell even when I was with Emily I wondered what she saw in me. All I really wanted to do was kiss her right then and there but I knew if I did I wouldn't be able to stop and I want to take this slow. I don't want to rush into anything, but by the way this girl was moving against me I just might change my mind. We dance like this for the next few songs and then decided to call it a night. I drive her home and walk her to the door step.
"I had a really great time tonight Paige."
"So did I." I lean in and graze my lips against hers before she pulls me into a searing kiss. I pull away from the kiss and kiss her on her on the cheek. "I'll text you when I get home, and I'll see you at school tomorrow."
"Okay can't wait, and don't forget what I said just talk to her." She says.
"I won't."
"Goodnight Paige."
"Night Cam."
I walk to my car and watch her go into her house then drive off just thinking about tonight and everything really. I look at the clock and it's only 10:30. I make a turn and start my drive to Emily's house.
