Buckley's Rowdy Ranch: Cam & Jessie

Chapter Nine: Breakfast & Flowers

It was admiration. . . I didn’t want to feel moved by him, because I knew he wouldn’t treat me as an equal. All men were like that.

“Perceptive. Don’t see that much in people now a days.” He smiled, and I held back a gasp of surprise. He smiled! Cam actually smiled! And it didn’t have any sarcasm or a warning, or even a fake smile. It was just a genuine smile.

He should do it more often. It looked amazing on his incredibly handsome face.

“Mmm hmm. . .are we close yet? All this arguing made me hungry.” i rubbed my stomach lightly, trying to ignore the small pangs of hunger that went through me.

“Keep yo’ panties on, we’re here.” He said, rolling the steering wheel around as he parked the car in one of the few free spots left.

I left the groceries in his car, grabbing my hand bag. Cam actually walked over to my door and opened it, smirking at me. I gave him a dirty look then I turned my back on him, climbing over to the driver’s seat and getting out from that side.

Cam shot me a small glare but said nothing as we walked together up to the café. Already there were quite a few people outside, pausing from their eating as they watched Cam and I enter.

I blushed and pretended as if I didn’t have a dozen male eyes on me, I heard Cam lightly growl as he placed a hand on the small on my back, a possessive move I was sure he did.

Hand off, I mouthed to him. He only shook his head and pressed him -self closer to my side, and right behind us I could hear people trying to be inconspicuous as they murmured.

Cam found an empty table to the side, I quickly sat down before he had the Gaul to pull it out for me. I settled back in the cherry brown wood chair, picking up the menu.

Pretty soon a shocked blonde waitress walked up to us, asking for our orders. She had the nerve to flirt with Cam right in front of me.

“What can I get you, Cam.” His name on her lips was like an ugly caress, I tightened my grip on each side on the cardboard menu.

“Uh. . .already had breakfast so I’ll just have some bacon and eggs.” He ordered thoughtfully, ignoring her seductive looks.

“Anything else I can get for you, Cam. Anything at all?” she whispered to him, trying to sound sexy. I wanted to get up and slap the shit out of her packed on make -up face.

“Orange juice.” I choked on my laugh, trying to fake cough to hide my giggles. The waitress turned to me and glared, flipping back her blonde hair.

“And you?” she asked rudely, a sneer on her ugly face. I raised an eye brow at her and smiled as if nothing had happened.

“Scrambled eggs and hash browns, with orange juice.” I smiled at her, she humped and strutted away. Her walk was one that demanded attention, but I noticed that everyone’s eyes were on our table.

I cleared my throat, pushing the red hair out of my face.

“Place has pretty good food. You’ll like it, Jessie.” Cam said to me, then he glanced around the café, then suddenly everyone’s eyes had somewhere else to be.

The café was a nice place, brown walls with violet flower vines painted on. There was a flat screen hooked up, it was above in the centre so everyone could see.

Cam sighed, and I reluctantly brought my attention back to him.

“How long are you plannin’ to ignore me?” he asked, sounding a bit drained. I decided to throw him a bone and smiled at him, to which he reluctantly smiled back.
