My Little Sisters Wedding

Chapter 35 - Awkward Kisses

"So are you planning on leaving the hotel at all?" I asked a red faced Caz. I had my arm around her shoulder as I led her to the awaiting car.

"Ew, shut up! Are you and Jack together or what?" She whispered as we approached the front door leading out to the porch, then to the large group awaiting Caz and I to join them already. I pulled her back and looked at her seriously. She gave me a confused look and signalled for me to go on.

"Okay, I'm going to be honest. I think he's super hot and sexy...we kissed last night."
I said in a quiet whisper so only Caz could hear.

"WHAT?!" Caz practically screamed in excitment.

"Keep your voice down! Jack is only standing over there." I whispered angrily at her.

"Sorry." She looked over to the group, who were all staring at us confused, and smiled brightly at them. "Be there in a minute." She turned back to me and smiled at me brightly. "So, do you like him? Are you going to go on a date, tell me."

"I don't know. Its early days yet and he's so sweet and sexy. He stopped our kissing lastnight because 1), Ethan and Edward told him not to try anything on me and 2), because he wanted to make sure it was the right time for me and not just because of the emotional events of lastnight." I spoke hurriedly in a hush tone. Caz's eyes went wide and I couldn't help but smile at her.

"So you like him. OMG! You cannot screw this up or else you're going to be single forever. You have to be nice and let him in, don't push him away because you're scared that he's getting too close, don't shut him out." She said in a soft whisper.

"Jeepers, no pressure!" I spat as I turned back around to find Jack staring at me intently.

"No, I'm saying that you push people away because you don't want them to get too close to see your soul. You have a beautiful heart and a intelligent mind, just go with what your heart says."

"Caz we better go, we're going to miss the flight at this rate." Daniel said from the drivers door.

"Alright I'm coming!" She yelled at him angrily. "Cameron, you're smart, trust your instincts. Are you going to be okay with the whole Mum and Dad situation?" She asked as she led me down the stairs. I nodded in reply as she stopped once again. "Okay, call me if you need anything. Cameron, you are the best big sister in the whole world. Thank you for helping out with the wedding, you really are the best maid-of-honour." She pulled me in for a hug and whispered in my ear quietly. "Use protection. If I come back and find out you're a Mother before me, I will shoot Jack's dick off."

"Please, you are more likely to be a mother when you get back, than me." I said back as I released her. She smiled once more before she hopped into the passengers seat and they drove off. I stood staring at the car and I couldn't help the smile that came onto my face. There goes Mrs. Carol Cooper, oh how the time flys.

"Okay, everyone back inside my cookies are ready. Come inside and have a cuppa before you all head back home." Nana said from the top of the stairs. Everybody turned and started to make there way inside. I too started walking in the direction of the house until I felt someone grab my arm.

"Hey, beautiful." Jack said as he turned me around and pulled me into him. His arms slung lowly around my hips and I looked up at him with a wicked grin.

"Hey, average." I said as I stepped in closer.

"Average, ouch that hurt." He faked a hurt face and I laughed out loud. "I have to go to a meeting, but I would love to take you out on a date, say around 7.30pm?" He asked with a hopeful face. I stared at him for a long time, studying each feature of his beautiful face, before I answered.

"Okay." I said simply.

"Okay? Okay. Okay! I'll pick you up at 7.30pm. Wear something casual and relaxed. I'll see you tonight." He leaned foward and kissed me passionately before he smiled and backed away. I turned around with a huge smile on my face only to see Mum, Dad, Ethan, Edward, Grandma Ivy, Sarah and Damon looking at me. Some with large smiles the others with looks of confusion.

"Oooooooooooo, Camerons got a boyfriend." Edward said in a childish voice which made some of them laugh.

"Edward, cut it out!" Grandma Ivy ground out. "He's a lovely boy Cameron, I hope you'll have a wonderful date." I stood in my spot and stared at Grandma Ivy like she had grown two heads. Did she just deffend me and then wish me well without a hint of sarcasm? Wow, I never thought I would see the day. "Come on lets go inside and have some cookies." She said as she turned and walked into the house.

"Hey Sarah, where's Emily?" I asked as I hadn't seen her all day. Sarah came down the stairs hurriedly and pulled me towards the mail box. I looked back at the porch and saw that everyone had gone back inside. I looked back at Sarah and waited for her answer.

"Shh, don't tell anyone, but I saw her lastnight go off with Callum and I haven't seen either one of them this morning." She whispered to me as though she was telling me the 11 secret herbs and spices to KFC chicken. "Then this morning I had to lie to her Dad when he asked if I had seen her. Cameron, I can't lie! I am the worst liar in the world and I can't tell if he believed me or not."

"Okay, calm down! What's the big deal? So shes with Callum getting her brains fucked out, when was that a bad thing? The girl needed to get laid anyway." I said simply.

"But what if he murdered her? What if she said no and he didn't take no as an answer? What if she is tied up in some basement of someones house and she is about to be sold as a sex slave?" Sarah said in a panicked voice. I looked at her and then burst into a loud fit of laugher. This girl had a crazy imagination. I looked behind her and saw a truck heading our way, I knew instantly it was Emily and Callum.

"Calm down, turn around and see who's coming." Emily and Callum parked in front of us and I couldn't help the smerk that sprung to my face.

"Thank god!" Sarah whispered under her breath. Emily looked out the car window and looked as though she was about to cry.

"Cameron!" Emily opened her car door and ran into my arms, wrapping hers around my neck tightly. Maybe she was kidnapped. I felt her starting to sob and couldn't help but scowl at Callum.

"Callum, what did you do to her?" I practically growled at him.

"What? I didn't do anything!" Callum defended while walking around the car to stand next to Emily.

"No, he didn't do anything. I'm sorry about not telling you the truth about who your real Dad was. I accidently overheard your Mum and my Mum talking about it one day and they made me promise not to tell you. Cameron, I'm so sorry, forgive me." She said as she sobbed as though her life was coming to an end. The grip she had on my shoulders tightened and I had to grab her hands to release the pressure.

"Emily! Its okay! I've always understood how loyal you are. Come here, stop crying it makes me sad when you cry. Look," I pulled away and held her by the shoulders making sure that she understood what I was saying. "I forgive Mum and Dad. Am I over it? No, but its a work in progress. If it makes you feel better I forgive you."

"Ar-ar-are you su-sure?" She hiccupped.

I nodded my head and wiped away her tears. "Yes! Now, we need to talk about where you've been. What kind of hours do you call this?" I asked with a wide smile. She wiped her tears and then looked at me pointedly.

"I um...was busy." Emily said as she looked at Callum who stood next her and smiled.

"I better go inside." Callum said as he bent his head down and kissed Emily awkwardly on the temple. I looked over at Sarah, who's eyes went wide and looked as though they were about to pop out of her head. Emily, Sarah and I stood and watched Callum enter the house before I broke the silence.

"Yeah, you were busy studying the gentle curve of his co-"

"FUCK UP!" Emily said through clenched teeth. We all started laughing before walking inside to join everybody else.
