Chapter dedicated to: Lex25 because she's so awesome and it was her birthday earlier! Man its hard to pick just one of you all!
Kiss Me
I love the smell of a coffee shop. And I don't mean Starbucks or Dunkin' donuts kind of coffee shops. I mean a real coffee shop. Like The Bean located in the center of our small town. It was a family owned shop that had been passed down three generations of Coffee's. And yes, the owner of the shop's last name was indeed 'Coffee'. Janelle and Simon Coffee were the current owners and had a daughter in the grade below us at school called Amber. They were the nicest family and let me just say, they made the best coffee in the entire world. Some secret recipe I'm guessing…
The inside of The Bean was cozy and warm with brown worn couches along the right wall and dark coffee tables with costars in the shape of coffee beans. The ceiling fan in the center of the room was decorated with fairy lights now that it was getting chillier out and wouldn't be used.
The menu chalkboard behind the counter was always different, with new options for the seasons and little doodles drawn by Amber. The smell though. The smell of that secret recipe that floated around the shop was enough to cure any anxiety or headache. Don't even get me started on the homemade treats behind the glass at the register. Makes my mouth water thinking about the cinnamon sugar cookies, tiny apple pies and mocha cake-pops just out of reach.
Overall it was one of the best places in town and the perfect place to spend a Saturday afternoon with your best friend.
Liz sat across me at small table by the storefront window. She had her book placed next to her on the windowsill and was clutching the cream mug of her cinnamon latte in her hand, her chipped gold nail polish standing out and completing the 'Fall' look. I had my favorite autumn special, the pumpkin pie latte topped with whip cream and all. I brought my lips down to the ceramic mug and took a sip. I sighed in delight as the sweet liquid took over my mouth for the 4th time since we sat down.
"You did what again?" Liz asked and I grinned.
"I posted a selfie." I repeated. She was having trouble taking this in.
"Online?"
"Yes."
"As 'Jenny Stewart'?" She made air quotations around the alias. I bit my lip and nodded. Liz had a perplexed look on her face and I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing in this moment. She was really hard to read with eyes squinted slightly and her lips pressed together. She seemed to be thinking about something and we sat in silence for moment as I waited for her to reply. I really wanted her opinion. I hadn't checked what the comments were since I posted the picture. I wasn't ready to see what he though or if my life was over because someone recognized me as a liar.
Suddenly Liz squealed and I jumped, being yanked from my thoughts.
"Oh my gosh Cam!"
"What?" I asked nervously.
"You're- you're like a spy." She whispered the last word. I laughed.
Me?
A spy?
Ha!
Some spy I would make.
"How am I spy?" I asked amused and she leaned back and crossed her arms pondering the idea.
"Well… you have a fake identity, you're good at blending into the background and of course you're like working your way up the social ladder…" she said. I frowned.
Was that last one meant to be spiteful?
No, Liz was smiling, she was only joking…
"That- that doesn't make me a spy Lizzie."
"You're right you need a code name."
"What? No I don't."
"It'll make it official. Oh! And I could be your right hand man, your, like techie. The one who deals with all the computer stuff? I could make you a fake birth certificate if you like. Jonas was teaching me hacking techniques and I think I'm getting the hang of it…" she trailed off, her extravagant hand gestures were showing me she was really thinking and possibly being serious.
"Liz, I do not need you to hack into the birth archives or whatever. It doesn't need to go that far. It's not like I'm ever going to meet him."
"What if his dad is a government official? What if he… asks his dad to do a face check for you now he has a picture and it comes up as Cammie Morgan and not Jenny? I could I make sure that doesn't happen." She says with a smirk. I know she's just messing around. She's only half serious right now. "Well, maybe not me, but I could definitely get Jonas to do it. He's always talking about a challenge-"
"Liz!" I cut her off. That was it. "Stop. Let's stay focused please." Liz smiled and sighed.
"Okay fine. Code names." I rolled my eyes. "It'll be fun! Come on, you and I need one." She said and I decided… what could the harm be? Code names would be fun.
"Any code name ideas then?" I asked and she paused and pursed her lips. She was thinking and before I knew it I was too.
It had to be cool like Black Widow. Except of course not that. What about Liz? She could be Brainy? No. Smarty? No. Nerdy? No.
And what is with all these 'y's? Its stupid. Liz yelped.
"I got it!" She said "You-" she pointed at me "You can be Chameleon." She smirked "Because you can blend in and have a fake name and stuff. And I will be…" she grinned "Bookworm." I couldn't help but smile.
"Those are way better than my ideas." I admitted and she laughed.
"So how was your celebrating with Jonas yesterday?" I asked and Liz smiled
"It was great. He took me out to dinner, to Utopia!" she squealed and my mouth dropped. Utopia was a really fancy restaurant just outside of town. I had been there once when I was younger for my parents' 10th wedding anniversary. I think I was like 8 or something.
"That's so amazing Lizzie! Was the food good?" Liz leaned back in her chair; fingers still wrapped around her drink and sighed.
"Amazing. I'm not even joking. I had the steak and pesto pasta. For the dessert we shared a hot fudge lava cake. Hot. Fudge. So good." The thought of such food made me shiver.
"I'm not going to lie, I'm feeling jealous." I said with a bright smile and she laughed. "So, does this mean all worries about spending time alone are gone?" I asked, slowly raising my eyebrows. Liz's eyes flickered away and she blushed.
"Yeah, I mean I was just being silly. Jonas and I will do it when we're ready you know?" she asked and my heart warmed for my best friend. She was such a little petal.
"I totally get it, you promise to tell me when though right?" I ask and she gasps.
"Why, Cameron, I can't believe you would think any less of me!" We both giggle and have to try to stifle it by putting our hands over our mouths. We didn't need to disrupt the other costumers. Most of them were older couples, but there were also a few students who attend the local college by the looks of it, typing away on laptops and drinking their third third cup of coffee before 1 o'clock even rolled around.
Just as I was about to open my mouth again the bell to the shop door rang. I glanced up at the sound and my eyes locked on two boys entering the shop. My eyes widened and all the peaceful serenity of the coffee smell was blown away. I couldn't stop the gasp that escaped my lips.
"What?" Liz asked about to turn around in her chair. I grabbed her chin and turned in back towards me before she could get a look.
"Oh my gosh its Austen." I hissed through my teeth. I looked down at my leggings and flannel shirt. The most casual and unflattering thing I owned. Why had I thought it would be okay to wear this out? I quickly took my hair out of its ponytail and let it fall around my shoulders. Liz's eyebrows rose and she smirked at me.
"Is little Cammie crushing on Austen Cole?" she asked wiggling her eyebrows. My face flushed and shushed her.
"Shut up. He might hear you." I snapped. Liz smiled a knowing smile.
"Go talk to him." She whispered leaning in and I jumped back.
What? I was not going to go up and just talk to him. Not out of school.
"Absolutely not."
"Why?"
"Well for starters he's not alone." I said back.
"Who's with him? Liana?"
"No-" I didn't even get to tell her before this happened…
"Tiny!" My words caught my throat and my eyes widened into the size of saucers. Over Liz's shoulder I could see Finn ginning at me, Austen's eyes turned away from the menu to see what his friend was shouting about. His eyes locked on mine and he smiled. His little dimple showing and his golden eyes lighting up. I looked to Liz frantically as they started to make their way towards us, but her face seemed to be almost sheet white. Her eyes were locked on her book cover. My eyebrows furred together, but I didn't have to ask her if she was okay before Finn was pulling me from my chair and into a hug.
"Fancy seeing you here!" he said when he pulled back. His brown eyes were warm as the looked down at me and then turned back to Austen. "Isn't this great! She could join us." He said. Austen opened his mouth to reply, but I stopped him.
"Oh no, I'm good-"
"The others are on their way here. We're going to grab a coffee to go and then head over to the mall." He said shoving his hands into his pockets.
Others?
Did that mean the girls and John? I wasn't in the mood for Jerk Boy. And Liana still made me uneasy…
There was silence. I did not want to go to the mall with them. No way in hell. Then Austen spoke up.
"Yeah Mer, why don't you come. I don't know why we didn't think of it sooner." My heart melted at the way his voice smoothed over my name. Well it was only my name when he said it, but still.
"I- I can't." I said glancing down at Liz. She seemed to have recovered a bit from her moment before. The color returning to her cheeks, but she still wouldn't look up from the table, her hair a short curtain hiding her face. "I'm here with a friend so…"
"Hey that's cool bring her along," Finn said gesturing to Liz "Any friend of Tiny is a friend of ours right?" He asked flinging an arm over me shoulders and pulling me against his side. Both he and I looked towards Austen. Waiting for him to reply. I thought I saw something flash across his face, as he seemed to stiffen for a brief moment as Finn's hand brushed my arm, but then he was normal again.
"Of course." My heart fluttered as his eyes held onto mine.
"What's your friend's name, Teeny?" Finn asked looking at Liz.
"Oh, um, this is Lizzie." I said and she slowly glanced up, a tight smile on her face. Her eyes went directly to Finn's.
"Hey guys." She said looking up from her chair at the three of us who were standing.
"She came to the party with me other week." I said. Austen nodded
"Nice to meet you, Lizzie." He said and Liz swallowed.
"You too."
"So…" Finn's voice was hesitant as he watched Liz, his arm still tightly around my shoulder "You going to join us at the mall then?" he asked, looking back at me. This felt almost awkward. I think Liz was finding it that way. I suddenly became relieved that Liz never sat at lunch with us, if this was how it was going to be. I shook my head
"Sorry, I think I'm just going to stay here with Liz. Rain check?" Finn's smile fell into a pout.
"Hey, Cam, don't worry about it. I- I think I'm just going to head back now anyway. She quickly took a sip of her coffee and then stood up, grabbing her book and then her jacket and purse off the back of the chair.
What? She was ditching me again? She was leaving me with these people again? Alone? Don't get me wrong. I love Finn he's probably the nicest one. And Austen. Well, we all know how I feel about him. Bex was great too, but the others. I barely knew any of them. I had just really started talking to them on Monday. I didn't want to go to the mall with them!
"I'll come then." I said slipping away from Finn's hold and reaching for my stuff.
"Don't be silly Cammie, stay. I've got some stuff to do for PREP anyway." She already had her coat on and was backing away. She sent me an apologetic smile and then… she turned and left.
She left.
The bell rang as the door opened and shut behind her and my best friend walked out. When I looked back at the boys, they didn't seem to know what had just happened. Finn was looking out at the door with a little frown on his face. Something you didn't see very often.
"Sh-" he cleared his thought "She okay?" he asked and I shrugged.
"Yeah she's just, got a lot of work to do." I said half-heartedly. Truth was… I didn't know why Liz had just left. I turned away from the boys and picked up my coat. If Liz wasn't here anymore I don't know why I was.
"Wait so does this mean you'll be coming with us then, Tiny?" Finn asked and I turned around. My eyes falling on Austen.
"I don't know…" I said. Maybe if Austen asked me again. Maybe. Because if Liz was gone then I didn't have anything better to do. Austen's smirk broadened
"Come on Mer," he said taking a step towards me. I lowered my gaze and looked up at him through my lashes.
"Okay." I whispered and Austen grinned.
After that the boys bought their coffees and we sat down to wait for the others to arrive.
What had I gotten myself into here? I wasn't really invited to this trip. I was going to stick but like a sore thumb in this group of friends at the mall. I didn't look like one of them. And John. Ugh. He would probably rather drop dead than spend a day with me… although I wasn't really worried about all that with Austen here. Austen's finger tips brushing against mine as they both rested on the table. He kept sneaking glances my way, his lips quirking up at the corners.
Bex, Macey and Liana arrived around 15 minutes later.
"Hey boys." Liana said. Her blonde hair was in a long braid down her back, loose wisps of it framing her face. Her skin tan skin was glowing, or maybe that was just her smile. She placed a hand on Austen's shoulder, sliding it behind his neck and playing with his hair. I swallowed and looked away from the two.
From the time I had spent with them, and I admit it wasn't much, I couldn't tell what Liana and Austen were to each other. They weren't together, but at the same time... there was something… I just had to assume they were a thing.
"Cammie? Is that you?" I looked up to see Liana looking at me, her eyebrows pulled together and I thought she might suddenly ask me to leave. Actually no I thought she might growl at me but she just smiled again. "I don't remember telling you about today Cammie!" She said
That's 'cause you didn't. "Glad you could make it all the same." She walked around Austen and nudged me over so she could share my chair with me.
Why me?
Bex and Macey pulled up their own chairs.
"Hey Cam." Bex said, and Macey sent me a smile and a nod.
"You guys been waiting long?" Macey asked and Finn laughed
"Sure have, what were you guys doing?" he asked. Liana giggled
"Well we were leaving on time and then Macey decided she had to-"
"Hey!" Macey swatted at Liana, her usually cool demeanor dropping for a moment as her eyes widened. Liana grinned, her tongue sliding along her bottom lip. She looked at me and winked. "It doesn't matter anyway, we're waiting on Johnny boy anyway." Macey said running a hand through her silky black hair.
"I'm ready to leave without him if he doesn't show in the next 2 minutes." Liana said crossing her legs. "That boy really likes to get on my last nerves." She said looking at me. The bell rang as someone entered the shop. I ignored it. "What about you Cammie," she said tilting her head to the side. I shrugged
"About what?" I asked
"Harper? Bit of a douchebag am I right?" I snorted. That was the understatement of the century. John was definitely a douchebag. I couldn't understand why a guy as nice as Austen, Finn too would ever want to be friends with Jerk Boy. I was just about to open my mouth and reply when the devil himself cut me off.
"Better watch what you say Morgan, I'm right behind you."
Oh.
For some reason I felt more embarrassed than I should have. I mean who cares if John knew what I thought about him. He probably did already.
"Oh John way to ruin the fun." Liana giggled and I realized she knew he had been there, she could see behind me from her position. She was going to let me run my mouth in front of him. I slowly turned around, my cheeks flaming.
"I-I- uh…" John smirked.
"Took you long enough." Austen said breaking the silence and standing up. "Lets just get outta here."
The mall was pretty packed by the time we got there. It was hard to find spots for the three cars that we had. I hung at the back of the pack as we walked through the mall, window-shopping and following the girls into any shop that caught their interest. They tried on so many things but usually walked out with nothing. The boys just hung around outside the stores talking about the football season, but I guess it was only a matter of time before they got hungry.
"Dude, I'm telling you I'm gonna have a stroke if I don't eat something." Finn moaned and Bex punched him in the shoulder.
"You don't get strokes from not eating for two hours Finn." She said with a cackle as Finn rubbed his shoulder.
"Well you get the picture anyway. I want to eat." He mumbled and everyone actually agreed. We were about to get a table at Friday's when Liana laid a hand on my arm and pulled me to the side.
"Hey Cammie, you tell the others I had a family emergency and had to go." She said.
What?
"Uh sure, is everything okay?" I asked and she smirked
"Oh yeah I'm just meeting up with Donny is all." She must have seen the disapproving look flash across my face because she laughed "Dear Cammie, its fine. I'm not cheating on Austen if that's what you're thinking."
"I wasn't-"
"Please, yes you were, but don't you fret that pretty little head of yours. Austen and I aren't together. He's just there when I want him." Her phone buzzed in her hands and she bit her lip. "Gotta run, just tell the others what I said." I nodded slowly. She giggled, "Aw thanks Cam, I owe you one." She blew two quick kisses before hurrying away. I was left shell shocked for a moment.
What just happened?
"He's just there when I want him."
What did that mean?
Well whatever it was it didn't sound good.
It didn't sound nice.
"Loosing your mind Morgan?" John's voice snapped me from my daze. He sniggered as I turned around and narrowed my eyes at him.
"Where's Li?" Bex asked.
"She said she had a family emergency and had to go." I said and Bex frowned. I glanced over at Austen, Liana's words playing in my head.
Just when I want him.
He's there just when I want him.
Just when I want him.
When I want him.
Want.
Him.
Just when…
But I wanted him.
I wanted him all the time.
"I hope everything is okay." Macey said. I didn't understand why Liana would lie to her friends. What the point of it was to make them worry. I assumed that this Donny was Donny Mathews from school. He was the behind the scene bad boy, motorcycle and tattoos and the whole shebang.
Honestly he didn't seem like Liana's type, but whom else would she be talking about?
Not Donald from Physics that was for sure.
"I'm sure its all good, she didn't seem to worried, but wanted to check it out." I said and she nodded. I felt Austen watching me, questioning my sweaty palms and me.
I didn't like lying to them.
We sat down after that. I was sat on the end of the booth, next to Bex and across from Austen. Next to him was John and then Macey. Finn was on the other side of Bex. It was strange eating with them all without Liana. I was surprised by how much her absence made a difference. Not necessarily a bad one. The boys and girls mingled conversation more then they did at lunch in school. There was more laughter. Usually Liana's laugh was the main center of attention. Her personality was so bright and overpowering. Perhaps even suffocating. Nobody else laughed that much when she was around.
The conversation was pretty light and I spoke a little, but my main attention was on Austen and his golden eyes. He was looking at me. His stare was making my heart race and my mind fuzzy. I excused myself to the bathroom to collect myself. Just as I was about to push through the door a hand gripped my wrist and I was yanked out of the restaurant. They dragged me back out into the mall and through a glass door which lead outside. My mouth was dry as he turned around the side of the building so we were alone. I was up against the brick wall with stern eyes looking down at me.
"Why did Li really leave, Mer." It wasn't a question it was a demand. The look in his eyes told me that. My mouth popped open in shock. Austen didn't believe my- I mean Liana's excuse?
I shook my head.
"I don't know what you're talking about-"
"Oh please, I'm not an idiot. A family emergency that she 'wasn't too worried about'? What kind of emergency is that?" Okay well that did sound stupid when he said it like that. Should I play dumb or tell him the truth?
"Please Mer, it's important." He says and I knew I would tell him now.
"She- she said she was going to…" I trailed off. I couldn't read Austen's face. Was he mad? He looked mad, but he also looked desperate. As if he knew and wanted to know if he was right. "She said she was going to see a Donny…" I finished. And he immediately cursed, his fingers curling at his side and then flying to his hair. He ran his hands through it and tugged at the ends.
"Damn it!" He shouted and let out a frustrated yell that made me flinch. I had never seen him like this. He stilled, his back to me. When he turned around his face was stoic. He sighed and took a step towards me.
"I knew it." He whispered. "I've just been waiting. I knew, but I…" he sighed again and closed his eyes.
"Are you okay?" I asked. He looked at me so intensely
"I'm fine. Actually, I'm relieved." He said.
"Relieved?"
"Yeah." There was silence around us. Our breathing was slow and slightly out of sync. Our bodies only two feet apart. He stepped closer, closing the gap between us.
"Liana-"
"Don't talk about her." He said. His voice low and husky, sending shivers down my spine.
"But-"
"We're not together, Mer. She's mad that clear enough. To me and to every-fucking-else."
Silence. My heart wasn't doing too well with him looking at me like that. Their was a strain in his voice. Was he mad at Liana? No not mad anymore… frustrated maybe? Or conflicted? His next words knocked my off my feet.
"I really want to kiss you right now." He whispered placing his hands on the wall next to my head so that I was caged in. My breath hitched in my throat as his pupils dilated. His head tilted to the side and mouth hovered over my collarbone, his lips ever so slightly brushed my skin before skimming up my neck. My breaths were ragged in anticipation. God I wanted him to kiss me so badly.
My chest was heaving and his lips finally pressed warm against my jaw, I sighed and he smiled against my skin.
"Austen-"
"Mer…?" the sound of his voice saying my name like that and my knees were shaking. I was ready to beg now. Just kiss me god dammit!
Suddenly he pulled away and took a step away from me, a step to far away. I almost toppled forward as a magnetic force seemed to pull my body with his. I looked at him confused and most likely desperate. He looked away and ran a hand through his hair; he seemed to be fighting an internal battle.
"What- what's wrong?" I asked trying to gather my thoughts back together. He shook his head and turned his back to me. That hurt. My stomach took a punch to the gut.
"Mer I- I'm sorry," he paused and sucked in a deep breath "I shouldn't have done that." I felt panic rise through me like a scream
"What? I- I wanted you to though. I didn't push you away." He was silent for a moment.
"I don't know what's wrong with me." He whispered and I probably wasn't meant to hear it but I did. I was still trying to regain my breath from where he had quite literally sucked it from my lungs.
"Austen, I- if you weren't going to kiss me then…" my words trailed off as I tried to fight the tears away "Then why- why would you…?" I stared at the back of his head, his soft brown hair just an arms length away. He didn't say anything "Is it Li-?"
"No." his tone was sharp. Sharper than probably intended. Silence again.
"Please say something because I can't just stand here. I can't wait for you to say something when you will say nothing because this silence is chocking more than hands physically could." I say. I step away from the wall when he doesn't reply, the pebbles on the pavement crunching slightly under my shoes as I start backing away from him. He seemed to flinch at the sound.
"I'll see you at the table, yeah?" he said, hunching his should slightly and I waited for a moment urging him in my head to turn around and meet my gaze, but he didn't. My hands shaking, and my face red from the thoughts that had been going through my mind as his lips touched my skin. Did I disgust him? Was I not pretty? Why would he…? I couldn't look at his unmoving figure anymore, I spun on my heal and started sprinting in the opposite direction to him. I closed my eyes tight shut as tears finally started coming and a sob rose in my throat. His gold irises were burned into the back of my lids though and were staring back at me. I couldn't escape him, not now, not after what he said to me. I really want to kiss you right now.
"Then why the hell didn't you!" I screamed into the evening air. I had never shouted like that before, not the shout that you can't keep hold of and every emotion possible to feel bursts free from your body at the same time and your skin seems to shatter as your blood ignites. I couldn't keep running with my muscles shredding like they were. I stopped and turned around to see where I'd been running from. You couldn't see where it had happened and I didn't seem him running after me. I needed to get home. I needed to cry, I needed to let this panic out, but I had no one I could run to. No one that I could cry to about this. About him. So I just pressed my back against the concrete wall of a different building and slid down so I was sat on the ground, my knees pulled up to my chest and my head hanging low so that I could cry for as long as I wanted and no one but the stone staring up at me would know how much it hurt.
