Love at First Night

Chapter 101 - Cameron Sick



Chapter 101 – Cameron Sick

When I finished working at the company I went straight back home. I got a few messages from Cameron during the day but I just got time to reply to him when I was in the car. 

He texted me a few photos of his hotel saying he wished I was there with him, then he also texted me he missed me and a few more sweet messages.

I texted him back that I missed him so much as well and that I wished we were together.

I reached home and Joanna as usual already cooked for me, she worked mostly at lunchtime and the early afternoon so luckily she was always at home when I got back from my job.

I took my jacket off and walked into the kitchen with a tired face letting myself fall to sit on the chair.

"What happened to you? You got Cameron sick?"

I giggled, "yes I am."

"Poor my baby." She pursed her lips and hugged me as if I was a kid who just scraped her knee.

"He will be back in a few days." Then she said coming back serious.

"I asked Justin about a double date and he agreed, he is working a lot lately so I feel you, I miss him too. But we won't become the kind of girls who spend their days waiting for their men to come back home!" She said in a rebuking tone of voice and I wondered if she was scolding herself or me.

I couldn't stop myself from laughing when her forehead creased forming a long line in the middle of her forehead. She shook her head and answered herself, changing her mind, "well we can miss them. It's normal to miss them."

I laughed even more and replied in the laughs, "yes, Joanna. It's okay to miss them."

  Hearing me she took a long breath relieved.

We ate dinner and then we watched together a movie as usual until my phone rang.

It was Cameron's message, as soon as Joanna read the name she said "read it" sounding almost as curious as I was.

It was a photo of him holding the three books I suggested to him. 

'Just bought.'

I smiled, and Joanna mouthed an "awww" probably deducing the situation since she knew how much I liked those books.

I took a selfie with Joanna and send him the photo captioned: 'have a good read. We are going to watch a movie.'

"You guys are so cute." She commented pressing play on the remote and start the movie.

The movie started and we didn't say a word not to ruin the atmosphere until Joanna broke the silence:

"I will go to Justin's place tomorrow, he asked me to spend the night with him."

"Oh…" I turned around to check on her and just like I expected her face stiffened and she was slightly pale. She probably was agitated for the many lapels that situation could take. 

"I haven't accepted yet." She replied uneasily.

"Why not?" I said Pretending I didn't know about her preoccupations and what may concern her.

"I barely can kiss him without blushing like a teenager… I can't even imagine how embarrassed I would be if we slept slept together."

Just like I imagined she had low self-confidence and didn'5 know how to behave nor what to do in case he kissed her.

  "If you don't feel comfortable then don't go. Tell him the truth and he will understand if he really

  cares about you." 

A brief silence then she took a loud breath. "I would tell him so that he knows what to expect if I am not a good kisser and …" she cleared her voice, "and other things."

  "Joanna, trust me he will understand if he truly cares about you."

"I hope so." She exhaled out.

we finished the movie and then went to sleep early.

  The next day we had to organize Evelyn's surprise birthday party which would be in two days.

When I told Joanna about my mother's idea she didn't approve of the concept of not letting my sister know. She never liked surprises she thought surprises always ended up on bad terms

 

I hung off the phone after I discussed with which bakery we could order the cake from and also what place we could rent. My mother was even meticulously demanding about restaurants or bakeries. She always wanted them to be perfect in her orders.

For some instants, I thought about the day I met Evelyn walking out of another flat. What if she was in crisis with her boyfriend and she hid it from her entire family? What if they weren't together anymore or worst if she cheated on him?

Were surprises a bad idea?

With many questions and little to no answers for my doubts, I decided to leave the palace for a short time to visit the flat from which I saw Evelyn walk out. I just wanted to know who that belonged to and make sure it wasn't a boy or someone who could be her lover.

I had to wait about 15 minutes before the door finally opened having my heart rolling over in my chest.

Then…

A woman walked out.

I took a relieved breath, maybe that was only a friend or some worker. I finally started the car to come back into my company and promise myself that I would never get in the middle of my sister's business anymore.

Then I unboxed the PC I just got sent and Set up everything

I finished the main things and then came back to my emails. I worked a few hours while the thought of Cameron was constantly occupying my mind and painting a smile on my face when I realized I was so desperate that I counted the missing hours of the day before our meeting. 

52 hours 39 minutes and 10 seconds missing.. My teenager self would clatter right now.
