Chapter 20 - Destiny’s POV
I woke up about an hour later. I glanced around my room for a clock and found it was only 9. I could still call Cameron. I promised him I’d call back anyways.
I waited for him to pick up. Tapping my foot and twisting my hair, I waited anxiously.
"Hello?" he asked smoothly. I figured I could tell him how I feel now. I mean, I'm allowed to do whatever the heck I wanted. I could like whoever I wanted. I could drool over whoever. Heck, I could makeout with every guy I saw if I wanted.
"Uh, h-hi Cameron," I stuttered. Am I ready to confess my feelings?
"Hey Des!" he spoke cheerfully.
Should I tell him? Oh my gosh..say something! I hate the silence!
"Umm.." I started. Seriously! Why can't I just spit it out?
"So, uh, you know how I feel about you but your feelings are a mystery to me still," Cam said. I could tell he was running a hand through his hair.
"Oh y-yeah. Sorry I left you hanging there. Um.." I tapped my fingers rapidly against my thigh. Why am I making this harder than it needs to be?
"Even if you don't feel the same, I still want you to know I love you."
A great weight of affection went through me and I took a deep breath.
"I love you too," I finally admitted.
Oh yes! I finally said it back! I grinned widely, feeling my cheeks heat up.
"Now that wasn't too hard to say, was it? I wonder why it's hard for some people to say those three words," he thought absentmindedly.
I totally agreed. It surprisingly wasn't that hard to say to him. Someone told me that if it's hard to say it, you don't actually mean it. So I guess Cameron and I meant it.
"I know right? It was easy for me to say it, believe it or not. I love you," I replied.
"Destiny, ever since I first saw you enter through the school doors, I knew you were the one."
I looked at my phone to make sure I was hearing correctly. Luckily I was. Oh my gosh. I'm so overcome with feelings. I can't believe this is actually happening!
"When I found out we shared most of our interests, I fell harder," he continued. "You're beautiful, and you have the most beautiful personality. You're perfect."
I wanted to cry. Words can't express the happiness I felt at this moment. I felt my heart thump wildly. It could explode any second.
"Thank you. I never thought anyone would love me again, especially after my last relationship ended," I explained. I should probably tell him about Caleb, but I don't know if that'd be bad for us.
"Are you kidding me? Who wouldn't love you? You're so likable! Anyone would fall for you. In fact, Colin likes you too."
I was taken aback. Seriously? How did I not see this before? The guys I adored were right in front of me.
"Whoa, really? I-I feel so loved!" I laughed. We really needed to get the tension out. "You admitted your feelings."
"Yep! So, are we like a couple now?" he asked, catching me off guard.
For a second, I didn't know what to say. Don't forget to answer, my inner voice thought.
"Hmm, I kinda want you to ask in real life, if that's okay with you," I said.
