Be Your Everything

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Night

"Do you want to... um... stay a while? I don't like being alone in there..." I told him quietly. I didn't even look at his face to see what it looked like. I just opened the door and stood there for a moment after hoping down.

"I would actually really love to," He suddenly said. I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Cameron, you don't have to. Tomorrow we have school and you have your game." I said in a rush. He rolled his eyes at me and jumped out.

"Typical Sophia. Always worrying about school. I'll leave later so I can get ready for school." He told me. I walked in front if the truck to meet up with him, a grin on my face. He put his arm around my shoulders and we walked up to my dark house. No lights were on and the only light we had to lead us to the front door was the moonlight. Dad must've forgot to turn the porch light on for me.

"How about we watch a movie?" I asked Cameron. He nodded his head and sat down beside me on our couch. I pulled a blanket over top of us.

"Why don't you go get comfortable and I'll find a movie?" He suggested and stood up to grab Matt's xbox 360 controller. We had Netflix on it and it seemed perfect right now.

"Okay. I'll be right back. Do you want a pair of shorts to put on or...?"

"Nah. I have a pair in my truck I can put on for now."

I rushed up the steps and into my bedroom. I grabbed a pair of short shorts that I always wear to bed. I would never wear these shorts out in public. I found an old t-shirt from basketball camp a few years back and tugged it on. I decided to go ahead and brush my teeth and hair while I was at it.

When I got back downstairs, I found Cameron sitting on the couch again, feet propped up on the coffee table. He had a pair of black basketball shorts on and no shirt. I forgot that's how a lot boys sleep.

"What movie is it?" I asked him as I sat down next to him. I had about three inches between us since I knew as soon as I touched him, my heart was going to beat out of my chest. He must've noticed because he smirked.

"What? Are you scared to touch me?" He asked smugly. I scowled at the coffee table. Cameron snaked his a around my waist and pulled me close to him. He snuggled his face into the crook of my neck.

"No..." It came out strangled. I grinned at him.

He fell to the side so he was now pressed against the back of the couch. He patted beside him and I laid down easily. He put his arm over my waist his head on the side of mine almost. I tugged the blanket over us and before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

I woke up the next morning in my own bed. The blankets were everywhere in my bed, upside down, hanging off the side half way.

I sat up and looked around. The clock read 7:00 so I knew it was time for me to get up and get ready for school.

Now that I think about it, Cameron had carried me up to my room. I remember him pulling the blankets over me and kissing my forehead. He left soon after. I stared out my window and saw his truck wasn't there so he definitely went home last night. I felt a little guilty. What if he got in trouble with his parents for being out so late?

I picked up my phone and sent him a quick message asking him if he did get in trouble.

I tossed my phone on my bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I scrubbed myself and my hair and hopped back out, brushed my teeth and hair. Once I was finished, I put my glasses on instead of contacts for right now and wrapped a towel around my body.
