"So you like gave him a blow job." carter says clearly disgusted. Carter inspects the flowers and then looks back at me.
"Well, I'm going to the vma's so you won't be alone." I smile and sigh.
"Did you know Jenny and I are going dress shopping." carter smiles at the mention of her name.

I stand in front of the boutique, I watch as a small strawberry blonde girl walks up to me. She's short and thin, but not too thin. She's got small freckles that cover her nose and face, out over her cheekbones. She smiles and I can't help but think about how pretty she is.
"Well it's nice to finally meet you." I say and she laughs, a very cute one.
"Yeah same, carter talks a lot about you, mostly talking about how you're like his big sister, even though he's older." I smile and I just stare at her for a minute. She so different than Deborah, In fact she's like the exact opposite. Jenny dresses very modest and in light colors, she's probably wearing only mascara and her hair is perfectly straightened. She looks like a natural strawberry blonde Barbie, but small.
"You're very pretty." I saw and she smiles.
"Thank you, you are too, your hair is just so long and silky looking." I hush her and laugh as we walk inside.
I'm really happy for carter, jenny is just what he needed. She's cute and tiny, and she's innocent and modest. She's super nice and has amazing manners. I completely approve.
The manager helping us is very kind, but quite loud. He's definitely vibrant.
We try on many dresses and styles, we are even given little cupcakes halfway throughout.
"So you're going with Cameron? Is there something happening between you two?" I laugh at her words. A whole hell of a lot happening.
"Uhm not really, we're just good friends, I'm engaged to Taylor." she sits there and smiles at me, thinking about my words.
"Well I'm glad you can have good friendships with guys. I grew up with all the guys treating me like their baby sister. So when it came to relationships, they didn't think I was serious." I chuckle.
"Well carter really likes you, you should see his face light up when I just say your name." her smile grows and she looks even prettier.
When it's all said and done we leave with two very pretty dresses. My phone rings as we walk out.
"Hey Mel, do you wanna get our dresses for the vma's tomorrow?" I suck air.
"I've already gotten mine." it's silent, "I went with jenny today, we actually just got done." still silent and then Jodie finally says something.
"Jenny? who's jenny? Never mind, uhm okay then, so are you going to the vma's alone?"
"Uhm actually no, I'm going with Cameron, just as friends." she huffs.
"Yeah okay, nice talking to you." then she hangs up. I groan. Jenny looks at me confused.
"Is everything okay?" I nod.
"Yeah let's go get some panera."
-----
Cameron's pov.
I fix my tux and turn to carter.
"You nervous?" I ask and he shrugs. He's actually wearing a tux, I think jenny has some pull on him.
"Are you nervous?" He asks nudging me. I roll my eyes.
"Yeah, she's going to look beautiful as always, she's going to be on my arm, but then there's that brilliantly bright ring on her finger, that I didn't give her." carter rubs my shoulder and walks out of the room.

When I walk up to mel's door I'm more than nervous. I feel weak and I'm ready to faint. When she steps outside, I nearly loose my balance. A gorgeous red dress clings to every curve and trails down behind her, her hair is pulled to the side, exposing her neck and shoulders. She looks beautiful. Jenny steps out behind her and I smile. Carter sure got himself a jewel. Her teal dress is fitting to her small form and she looks really good next to carter.
"I push Mel back into the house and shut the door behind us. I look around the house and hold onto her wrists.
"Kiss me." I breathe and she hesitates. Her lips are smooth and have the taste of fruit on them.
"Cameron we need to stop." She says lips brushing against my ear.
"I know I'm sorry." I say and she gives me a small smile. She fixes her hair and licks her lips.
"To the vma's" she says gently grabbing my hand, her ring moving along my finger making my skin crawl.
--
I get out of the limo first, I stand by the door and help Mel out. It's my habit to make sure nothing shows or is visible.
Cameras flash and everyone calls our names. I'm surprised when I look ahead of us, Hayes and Jodie stand together being interviewed. Jodie looks striking honestly. Her blonde hair is straight and falls to her hips and her black and silver dress contrasts with her light skin, her cheekbones looks razor sharp.
"Her and Hayes look so good, they are like physical opposites." Mel says pulling me down to her height so she can whisper it in my ear.
"So we don't look good?" I ask her and she rolls her eyes.
"Of course we look good together, we always have." I smile at her as she realizes what she's said. It's our turn to be interviewed and I can't help but watch her straighten up as my arm leaves her waist.
"So who is this doll you are with today?" the chirpy blonde asks. I shine my million dollar Cameron Dallas smile.
"This is my dear friend Melanie."
"So friend? Is that a ring I spy?" she says elbowing me. Mel shakes her head.
"Oh no no, I'm engaged to Taylor Caniff, he couldn't make it and I wanted to help out my friend." she says patting my shoulder. Friends. I hate that. The interviewer looks confused.
"But Taylor is here, he's already in, he's with Dakota fanning? His costar." I watch as Mel shuts down. Then she closes her eyes and recollects herself.
"Oh well, I'm sure glad he's helping his friend out as well." we answer a few more questions and I'm pissed off Taylor is here. Why the hell did he not tell Mel that he was coming. He should be here with her, not some blonde actress.
"Mel are you okay?" she nods. "I can go find him if you want?" she shakes her head.
"I don't want to see him, I'm here with you." I huff
"Mel he's your fiancé." she turns and gives me a harsh glare.
"Don't remind me, okay I know very well. I'm here accompanying you. I'm not abandoning you.. again." She whispered again and I run my thumb over her cheek.
"Thank you." She smiles and pats my my hand. My left hand lays on the small of her back as we walk inside.
I presented the award that I had to, my eyes were on Mel the whole time. I controlled myself when she made a funny face trying to distract me. I didn't tell her that I saw Taylor three rows behind us. He didn't seem to notice she was there. I pretended to not notice his hand on the girls knee.
So as I lay in bed next to Mel unclothed and wrapped in her, watching her sleep. I know that I will do whatever it takes to make her mine once again.
