Chapter Nine
Cameron left
around seven thirty. I held on to him
most of the time. I love it when guys
feel secure enough to cry in front of me.
It shows real manly strength. I
love that.
I have a
feeling that if I spend anymore time with Cameron, something, anything might
happen. It's only been one day and I
feel like he's been in my life longer.
What is that? Fate? Destiny?
What has God planned for me? I
know. To meet the porn bitch in a few
hours.
After
Cameron left, I dosed off into my own slumberland. Claudia told me I was snoring again, but then, she's not under
this type of stress. I woke up at
around eleven twenty, which was crazy.
I've never slept that long in my life.
When I first opened my eyes, wanna guess who I saw? Cameron. He was standing at the door talking to Claudia.
"Cameron,
what are you doing here?"
He looked
down at me, smiled then rushed to be at my side. He held my left hand close to his heart. "Had to see you wake up."
I jerked my
hand away from him and sat up in the bed.
"Why would it be so bad to let me hold you just once?"
I turned to
face him, but stopped. I knew exactly
what to say, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Instead, I pulled the sheets back and stepped out of bed. Cameron followed closely behind me until I
disappeared into the bathroom. I didn't
feel like hearing all the gushy love chat.
Well, not really love, but damn well close enough. If I had wanted to fall in love, I would
have urged it on. Ah, shit. No one can really predict when he or she'll
fall in love. It all just happens. Damn feelings!
I returned
to the room wearing a black tank top covered by a black silk button up
shirt. I also had my cross dangling
from my neck. Under my shirt was a
shoulder holster. It was positioned
just ever so nicely not be noticed without someone searching for it. I also had my hip and inner pants
holster. I didn't trust Selena enough
to go unarmed. My hair was pulled
back. Only bits and pieces of my hair
that wasn't long enough to be in a ponytail hung forward against my face. My face was all pure and natural. No makeup this time. It most likely wouldn't stay on anyway.
Cameron's
intense stare nearly tossed me over. It
wasn't a harsh glare, but a look you'd give a crush. That chance look you take when you think they aren't watching,
but they usually are. I smiled up at
him and shyly turned my head to the side.
Claudia began laughing at me when she saw my face. She stuck her finger at me, twitching it
back and forth. I just rolled my eyes
at her.
I walked
away from her so I could get closer to Cameron to make sure he doesn't leave
without me. Sure Sara. Claudia quickly grabbed my arm and whispered
in my ear. "Call me if anything
happens."
"Hell
no!"
Her eyes
went all wide with shock. "Why
not?"
"With
all them bats out there, I'd rather call Apolonia. I'd die still the same."
She slapped
my ass then cursed. "Bitch."
I laughed,
turned around to watch Claudia go to the bathroom, and started walking
backwards.
I yelled at her. "You only wish you were as good as this
bitch." She pointed her middle
finger outside of the bathroom door. I
just laughed some more until I ran into Cameron. The impact didn't even make him move. I twisted around and looked him in the eyes.
"We
shouldn't start anything Cameron."
His eyes
ended up gaping at the nearest hole in the floor. "I know. I'm sorry
for pushing you. We've only known each
other a day."
I grabbed
his shirt and pulled his face down to mine.
"Give it a few weeks Cameron, and you'll have my heart. It's almost certain."
His smile
almost lit up the night sky from the inside.
I let go of his shirt and walked outside. My conscience began to pound against my brain. It kept fighting with me on whether he
should come or stay. I wanted him to
stay. I didn't need him getting
hurt. But, in the back of my head was
the thought, he's a lycanthrope, he can handle himself.
When I
finally spotted Cameron's truck, I noticed he was talking to a girl at the
phone booth.
"Will
you give me the keys?" I yelled.
"Yeah,"
he pulled them out of his jeans and threw them to me.
I caught
them with one hand. I was always a good
catch. I quickly ran to the truck and
jumped in the driver's seat. Cameron
saw me and began to run towards the truck.
By time he got there, I was already backing out of the parking lot. He was yelling for me to stop, but I just
kept speeding up. I needed to get to
the cave before midnight. I had about
ten minutes to get there. I hope there
aren't any cops out there somewhere just waiting for a girl like me to pass
them by.
