"Well that was quick even for you asshole!" I'm sitting on the sofa in the pool house with Camila curled up on my knee, her tears soaking into my white tank top

"How was I supposed to know she was such a prude? You saw the way she was coming on to me earlier"

My brother yawns and checks his watch completely unbothered by the sobbing female in front of him

"Well it looks like you're back on 'Diva duty' little bro and I will focus on getting the millions of dollars for her safe return. Well, her return anyways" he winks at her but she just rolls up into a tighter ball in my knee and wraps her arms around my neck and Josh chuckles loudly before walking from the pool house and heading to his bedroom in the main house

"I hate him!" She sniffs

"Yeah he's an asshole"

"Would he have hurt me if you hadn't been by the pool and heard me scream?"

I just shrug, God knows what Josh would do, he's a law unto himself, I might be bad but he's dangerous

"What are you guys going to do with me Shawn? You kidnapped me for money but no one believes I'm kidnapped so you're not getting anything and in the mean time I'm just here, in Canada, crying the whole time"

"I'm sure my brother will come up with some kind of ingenious plan. He got the brain and apparently the looks too"

"I was only kidding earlier. You're way better looking than him"

"Yeah I know I am, it's the curls that do it for me"

"And the lips" she whispers as she once again runs her finger around the outline of my mouth
"I lied to you the other day too when I said you kissed like a slobbery dog, you don't, you actually kiss pretty good, for a Canadian that is"

"Yeah?" I lift her chin slightly so her eyes lock with mine

"Yeah, you tasted pretty great too, not at all like maple syrup or bacon"

"Can I tell you something?" She nods, never breaking eye contact as I lower my lips to her ear "I actually hate maple syrup"

Her laugh is loud and genuine as she throws her head back and then rests it on my shoulder

"Are you allowed to say that? Won't the Canadian police show up and throw you in Canadian jail and then strip you of your Canadian-ness? Actually I don't think I believe you're Canadian anymore"

"Well I'm half Canadian half Portuguese"

"Ah I knew it! Latin blood that's where you get your temper from"

"I don't have a temper"

"Yes you do"

"Well yeah I do but you provoke me, you're a pain in the ass"

"Your pain in the ass though right? Not Josh's"

"Never Josh's" I confirm as I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and watch as her gaze falls to my lips

"I'm going to kiss you now" she says quietly as my eyebrow involuntarily shoot North but I don't respond "Just know it's probably because of the shock of what just happened and tomorrow I will probably hate you again"

"Okay, I still hate you right now though"

"You're gonna kiss me back though right? Cos I'm too fragile for rejection right now, especially when I'm a singing superstar and you're just a Canadian criminal"

"Why don't you stop chattering and kiss me and find out"

"No because I'm nervous now"

"Camila..."

"Shawn, you're spoiling it"

"You're the one promising kisses and giving me nothing but chat" she opens her mouth to argue back but I decide to just take matters into my own hands as I quickly duck my head so that my lips cover hers and she gasps in surprise instead of arguing.

It starts off slow and innocent, my lips massaging hers as my hand grips her hip but she quickly tightens her arms around my neck as she pushes her tongue against my lips and I have no option but to open my mouth because she tastes so good, slightly salty from crying but warm and soft and we are quickly lost to the physical act of kissing, all sense of ourselves and our situation lost to lust and longing and even if it just last for this one kiss it's about to change everything
