Well its been a few weeks and things have been going great. I never thought I could be this happy before. Everything between Cam and I was great, we had our classes together on mondays and wensdays, sometimes we would even car pool with eachother. I still had yet to go to the studio but I was so busy with school work and even Cameron wasn't there that much yet because he wasn't needed just yet.
My mornings would start with texts from him and so would my nights, sometimes even a phone call saying goodnight. My mom hasn't met him yet, but he wants to meet her very soon. I think part of that reason is because his family is coming out here, and he told them about me, and I think he wants all of them to meet, maybe? That thought scared me, I get nervous meeting family members.
The boys did go away for a week back to California for some Radio Disney concert they got signed up for. The funny part about that was the fact that they had no idea they got signed up for it, their manager suprised them with it two days before they had to leave. It was tough with Cam leaving but we would skype and oovoo with each other. I even got to watch them practice via skype. They invited me to go, but unlike Cam the college wouldn't of let me take all those days off unless it was an understandable absence, and I doubt that going to cali with your boyfriend for a week would count. It also gave us a taste of what it was going to be like with them gone. It wasn't terrible, because even though we haven't been together for awhile I completely trust Cam.
Cameron didnt want to tell me what time they were coming back, so I couldnt meet them at the airport and I had no idea why. I got a text from my mom saying after class got out I needed to come home. I was confused but I headed home after class and was so suprised. Cam got home 2 days early and was sitting infront of my house with flowers and a giant mickey mouse. It was the cutest thing I ever saw. I barely parked and turned off my car, by the time I was running out of my car towards him. I thought it was so sweet and I gave him the biggest hug in the world and a kiss on the cheek, of course. "what are you doing here? your not supposed to be back for atleast 2 more days". He just smiled at me, "We finished early, so I got on the quickest flight home" I couldnt stop smiling at him, "You mean back, this isn't your home". His face frowned a little, "Well for the next 5 months it is, and maybe even after touring, where you are is my home, in a sense." That was the cutest thing I ever heard, I smiled and kissed him. After that I realized something.
"Oh my god, did you meet my mom, or were you waiting for me?" he chuckled. "I met your mom without you, because aparently both of us know how you get". "oh, well how did it go?" I was worried. "She seemed to like me, she reminds me of my mom, I like her and she said I'm welcome over whenever, and she thought the flowers and mickey was cute" My mother would like him, I knew she would. "Well then lets go in for a minute, and I'll put the flowers in water" He nodded and followed me into the house.
"Hey mom, I'm home" I shouted through the house. "Hi hunny, i take it you got your suprise, and by the way you shouldnt be nervous about me meeting him, he's a very sweet boy, i like him" I turned red, she was down the hall and I guess didnt know he was in the house until I heard, "Oh and Hi Cameron". We both just laughed, "Hi Mrs.A","Yes mom I know". I grabbed a vase and put the flowers in them they were so pretty, they were all different colors of roses. Cameron did such sweet things, I swear I would never get used to it. "I'm starving, I'm gonna make something, do you want anything?" I said looking at Cam. "I was going to take you to lunch" I looked at him suprised, "Oh, uhm, I have no money." he sighed at me. "Its my I'm back after being gone, you deserve a lunch date" I smiled at him, "ugh, fine" I ran and told my mom what we were doing and she just smiled like she knew something, but I let it go.
We hopped in Cams car and headed to lunch. I had no idea where we were going. Our usual lunch dates consisted of going to applebees or a diner and sharing food if we couldn't make up our minds. We were heading towards commack, so I figured we were going to applebees, until he made a turn and then I had no idea where we were going until we pulled in. He took me to Cafe Havana, I mentioned it once in passing about how I've always wanted to go there, but I didn't think he was paying attention and I knew it was kinda expensive. I turned to Cam, "Why are we going here? it's expensive", he smiled. "You mentioned it once, and hey when do I really get to treat you?, so were going and your gonna like it" he said smiling at me so I knew he was kidding. I laughed "yes, sir"
He ran around the car and opened the door for me. We walked in and it was amazing, it has such a tropical feel, I loved it. I was so shocked Cam did this for me, it was sweet. We got to our table and I just admired the place it was gorgous. The walls brick work and the palm trees all over, ugh it was so pretty. "Are you gonna look for something to eat or are you just going to admire the place all night" I didn't even realize I was doing it, I turned red "Its just so pretty, but yes I'm going to look" I stuck my tounge out at him. There were so many good things on this menu I had no idea what to choose, the waitress came over to take our order and Cam of course had me go first, "uhm, can I have a diet coke, and the cuban burger well done", then Cam ordered "I'll have a coke, and the Garlic roasted chicken". The waitress went off. That chicken thing sounded so good, but I was trying to get the cheepest thing on the menu. I think Cam knew that too. "Were gonna share the chicken, and if you want to share the burger, we can so halfsies" he knows me so well. "How'd you know?". "Kerri I think I kinda know what you like by now, and I also saw ur face after I ordered it and that burger sounded good" I smiled, this boy was amazing.
We got our drinks and soon after got our food. We tried to cut each of our meals in half but it didnt work so well, so we just picked from each others plates, it was funny. The food was so good, I was so glad I let Cam talk me into actually eating here. Through dinner Cam told me stories about California and how he saw his family, and that their coming here for Christmas. It was good that he was in California when he was because all the guys got to spend Thanksgiving with their families, and from what I heard Nate got to see Lizzie, and she didn't know they were coming, so she was so suprised. I thought that was cute. Their trip sounded fun, and he said next time they go, he's taking me. I just smiled at him, I seemed to do that a lot. The waitress came back and asked about desert, I figured we were just going to get the check when Cam told her that we would have the "Havana's Bananas". I laughed at that name, but Cam was always good knowing what I'd like. He also knew most of the menu had a lot of ice cream to it and I can't eat ice cream. I became lactose intolerant my Sophomore year of high school, and I still sometimes have issues with my stomach because of it, I mean I take a pill so I can eat cheese and such, but Ice cream is too much for me.
The waitress came out with these fried bananas covered in powdered sugar, and there was some ice cream and Cam looked at me apologetic and mouthed, "sorry". After the waitress left I said there was no reason to be sorry. This looks good. We ate them and made somewhat of a mess. The powdered sugar was messy so we just kept laughing at each other. After we ate them, Cam got the bill and I felt really bad about him paying, but he wanted to treat me. We walked out of the restaurant and went to his car. I raced him to opening my door, but he locked the door so I couldnt. He gave me a little kiss because he thought it was cute that I tried to open it myself. It was nice to know with Cam that chivalery was not dead.
I figured that we were gonna go back to either my house or the apartment but we didn't, we just went driving around and talking. It wasn't to chilly out so we rolled down the windows and blasted the music, yelling at the top of our lungs. I really did like how carefree I was with Cameron. This was really nice, I really did miss him for the little while he was gone, and I knew touring was going to completely suck. We drove by the park I showed him that was super pretty, they had benches by this pond and at sunset it was pretty. Then I realized what time it was, It was 5:30 which ment the sun would be setting soon. If we were going there that would be really romantic and cute, and I wondered if my mom knew about this.
We pulled into the parking area, and he grabbed my hand and we walked over to the water, it was always so pretty around this time, especially with all the colors changing in the trees. As we were getting closer it looked someone was here and left a complete mess, which bothered me, that was until we got closer. I noticed it was a blanket with a basket on it. I turned and looked at Cameron, he just smiled at me. "I did have a suprise for you". I hugged him and gave him a kiss and we walked over and sat down on the blanket. "Cameron this is perfect, but how long has this been sitting here?". he laughes, "you would worry about that, well I had some help from the guys, they probably left within the last 5 minutes". Of course the guys helped him. "This is so cute, I love this" We sat next to each other, his arm around my waist and I snuggled up next to him with my hands wrapped around my legs and his knee. We sat there and watched the sun go down, as the sun was going down, I felt Cam let go of me. He was reaching into the basket, he took out a little plate of chocolate covered strawberries. I froze, this started reminding me of the beach dream I had a while back. "I know you love chocolate covered strawberries, so I got these" ugh, why do I always smile like an idiot around this boy. "that was so sweet of you, I love them and this and everything, thank you" I kissed him. He turned red, and went to go feed me one, I took a bite and it was so good. He really did know me pretty well by now. He took a bite too, trying not to make a mess and failing. I picked up one and fed it to him. We both kept laughing and smiling at each other, this was so perfect, and the sun was going down, I wish would could stay in this moment forever. We ate about 4 of them, then I felt a shiver shake through me, Cameron realized and pulled me into him and we watched the rest of the sunset. It felt so perfect being in his arms, I felt safe and protected, just like how every girl wants to feel.
Everything was just so perfect. With my head on Cam's shoulder I could hear his breathing change, so I turned my head to look at him, and I saw that he was strangely pale. "Cam, are you ok?", he nodded. I thought to myself what the heck is going on with him. That's when he cleared his throat. "Cam are you really ok?", he sighed, "Well, theres something I need to tell you and I dont know how your going to take this". Oh no, this cant be good. I braced myself for the rest and let Cameron continute, "Kerri, I realized while I was gone and the last month or so has been amazing and even though we havent been dating for a long time I feel so strongly about you". Well ok, this wasn't bad but where was he going with this. "I justed wanted to tell you I love you". I looked at him shocked, did he just tell me he loved me? Oh my god. He looked at me worried but I didn't know what to say. I could tell my face looked shocked, so I smiled at him. "Cameron, I love you too". The smile that flashed across his face would make fan girls faint. He leaned down towards me and we kissed, except this kiss was different than our normal little pecks, this was more intense, there was more feeling to this one. I think that was because we both knew how we felt about each other, and this kiss, was all about how we did love each other. We broke apart and realized it was getting dark and we had to leave. We packed up the blanket and basket and headed to the car.
Cameron and I held hands the entire car ride as he drove me home. We just kept smiling at each other and this was the happiest I've been in awhile. He told me how he realized he loved me, he said that he always thought he did, even with our first kiss and then when he went away and we still talked and skyped and how I made an effort to talk to him, he knew this was real and how he felt was real. I told him that I've always had a feeling I love him, from the sparks of our first kiss, to the way I felt when he didn't talk to me, to how I felt the day we fixed everything. We were both on such a "love high" if you will, it was amazing.
We finally got to my house and I sighed that this night was over, but he knew I had a long day and I needed to get homework done. I laughed at the way he knew me. He walked me to my door and we kissed goodbye and I was so happy I could die. As he walked away he said "I'll text you tonite, I promise" I smiled and walked into my house. I went into the kitchen to go get mickey so I could bring him into my room. I walked into my room and noticed something on my bed.
It was a black box. I was confused, so I opened it. It was a turtle necklace. I have been looking for turtle necklaces for a really long time. I saw under the box was a note:
"Kerri, I know you've been looking for turtle necklaces, so when I was in California I saw this one, and I thought of you, I hope you like it! Love, Cam"
He didn't, it was so pretty. It was a little turtle with green crystals as its shell, with a silver body. It was so cute, I loved it. I knew my mom made a face at me before we left for a reason. I can't believe how sweet this boy was. I decided to text him. "I beat you to texting me but I just got to my room to see my necklace and its gorgous, I can't believe you remembered! Thanks so much, I really do love you3" I smiled, and got ready for bed. I got back to my room make up all off and teeth brushed. I hopped into bed and checked my phone.
one new message, "I'm glad you liked it, I saw it and automatically thought, this is perfect for Kerri, oh and I love you too =]" I laughed at that text. I sent him one back, "Thanks you so much, I'm going to bed goodnight hun3", My phone went off, "Sweet dreams beautiful 3". With that I went to bed with a smile on my face and being one of the happiest girls in the world.
