•I'm Hooked • Why Don't We•

24 - "Wait a second. Are you jealous?"

"It's your turn" holding the ball out for me, I grab it and concentrate back on the game.

Needless to say that I wasn't really focusing on it the way I did before but Danny and I still managed to win, Alex and Jake having to drink all their cups.

"I told you" laughing a little, I raise an eyebrow at the two boys, an arm snaking around my shoulders as Daniel joins my laughter and we recieve some eyerolls from our enemies.

"This is not over yet" pointing a finger at me, Alex begins to pour some more beer in the cups, making me shake my head.

"Okay if you really want to loose again" holding my hands up, I pull Danny to Zach and Jonah, feeling like we don't need to watch Alex set up the game again.

"Hey" smiling at them, I even offer the girl a small friendly smile.

"Hey! You crushed that, Cam" Zach smiles at me.

"Thanks. But Daniel wasn't too bad either" I shrug, smirking at Danny who lets a scoff leave his lips as the rest of the group laughs a little, even the girl lets some giggles out, though they seem quite forced.

"And you found a new friend?" I glance at the girl, who hasn't even spared me one look, too occupied with looking at Jonah, my boyfriend.
Clenching my jaw as she proceeds to 'unintentionally' brush her arm against his, I look around the group, seeing Zach bite down a small smirk as he apparently noticed my change in behaviour with Jonah and Daniel seeming totally oblivious to it.

"Yeah, that's Meghan" Zach speaks up, making the blonde turn her head at the mention of her name, her eyes roaming my body for a moment, a judging look taking over her features.

"Hey. And you are?" Raising her eyebrows at me, I feel the urge to blow out some air.

"Hey, I'm Cam. Nice to meet you" going for the playing nice route instead, I offer a smile.

"Yeah, uh, Jonah do you want to dance?" She is quick to turn back to Jonah, putting her hands on his freaking arm and starting to pull him towards the dance floor.

I swear, I'm about to break my teeth at how hard I'm clenching my jaw, feeling some eyes on me, I see all three boys, including Jonah looking at me, my eyes darting from one person to another as I wait for Jonah to answer.

"Oh.. uh.. I just came from the dance floor. I'm not really in the mood" he scratches the back of his neck as I purse my lips, a little frustrated that he has to be so polite all the time. I mean, that's a reason why I like him after all but right now I would appreciate him telling her to fuck off.

"Oh come on. Please, for me?" Pouting, Meghan locks her fingers with his, taking another step to the dance floor, a scoff leaving my lips at this point as I cross my arms over my chest, seeing Jonah's eyes dart to me as he's quick to shake his hand free from her grip, recieving a questioning look from the blonde.

"I'm sorry, Meghan but I really don't want to" he sighs a little, seemingly uncomfortable in this situation.

"But I want to dance with you" whining a little, the girl crosses her arms.

"I-" deciding to end this conversation right there, I interupt Jonah as I step forward, a sigh leaving my lips before I begin my talk.
Hearing Zach mumble something along the lines of "here we go", I offer Meghan a fake smile, making her raise her eyebrows at me.

"Okay, Meghan. As you don't seem to understand, I'll tell you again. My boyfriend doesn't want to dance with you. And he doesn't want to be impolite or hurt your feelings in any way but I think it would be best if you'd just leave, okay?" Raising my eyebrow at her now, I see her cheeks flush red before she turns on her heel and walks off.

"I honestly expected you to explode on her, by the way you clenched your jaw" Zach chuckles lightly as I take a step back, standing next to him as I roll my eyes slightly.

"She was pretty fucking rude though. You can't just take a guy to the dance floor like that, especially when he says he doesn't want you" I comment, still not being over the situation in the slightest.

"Wait a second. Are you jealous?" Daniel raises his eyebrows.

"Yes, are you blind?" "No, I'm not"
Zach and I said at the same time, resulting in me glaring at the young boy as he chuckles lightly.

"Oh my god, you are" Daniel points out, my cheeks heating up as I glance at the ground.

"Well, I'm not normally. I'm never jealous of your fans but this girl was flirting with him hardcore and she was judging me and she made Jonah feel uncomfortable" I shrug, trying to explain myself.

"Babe, you really don't need to be jealous" Jonah steps in front of me, my eyes still glued to the floor as his hand slips into mine, his other hand brushing some hair out of my face, tilting my head up to look at him.

"I know, I just... she was so rude and she was... I don't know" trying to avoid his eyes, I can't as his hand still makes me look at him.

"Cam. I really appreciate you getting me out of this situation but I love you" he brushes his thumb over my cheek, my heart threatening to jump out of my chest as my mouth gets dry and I bite down my lip. He just said the L-word. While the rest of the boys and I always throw that phrase at each other, it was always different with Jonah and me.

"You have no reason to be jealous of any girl. I only have eyes for you" he continues, a shakey breath leaving my lips as I nod my head, unable to speak.
Pulling me closer to him, Jonah hugs me tight, his arms snaking around my shoulders as I hug his middle, my face pressed against his chest as he begins to rock the both of us from one side to another slightly.

"I love you too" muttering lowly, I'm surprised he hears me as Jonah pulls away slightly and offers a big grin.

"Okay, guys? Can we like do something else? I'll seriously puke if you keep going" Zach comments, Jonah and I looking at him, making him raise his hands mockingly.

"You always have to ruin the moment, huh?" Sighing, I pull away from Jonah as I offer Zach a playful glare.

"I guess" he shrugs, a few chuckles leaving his lips.

"You two up for another round?" Jake taps my shoulder, holding the ping pong ball out for me.

"Zach, you want to go for me?" Daniel asks the young boy as I prepare to protest, not wanting Zach to drink too much.

"Sure" he grins, pushing past me as he grabs the ball out of Jake's hand and makes his way to the table.
