Invisible string

We need to talk

Camila's pov:

I was kind of relieved that Shawn had bailed on yesterday as I had to attend a party with my family which I suppose didn't go well because we left just after an hour and my dad's face was fuming with anger, which meant he got into an argument or something. I was about to ask him and talk to him but my mom nudged her elbow which meant the topic was off limits. But I was happy that he smiled and ate his favourite tiramisu, which I had made for him to cheer him up and I was so glad that it worked like every other time.

So, today here I was in front of my locker taking some books out when I saw Shawn coming this way. I waved up at him, he saw me didn't responded and kept going. I frowned have I done something wrong, oh no maybe I shouldn't have kissed him that day but he kissed me back quite happily.

When I got in for the economics class, Shawn was already sitting next to Casy, what was wrong with him Casy really Casy!!! We used to sit together everyday sure the assignment was the excuse but I don't know what happened, why wouldn't he just talk to me if I did something wrong! Huh, forget it Camila, boys will be boys.

I could see him staring at me, but when I turned around he'd look away but there was something in the way he looked at me, there wasn't anger but there was hurt, I could feel it.

I sighed heavily, I knew I had to talk to him. So, in the lunch break I made my way over to where he was standing. I cleared my throat even though I knew he was well aware of my presence.

"Have I done or said anything wrong?" I asked him and he just shrugged.

"Then why are you ignoring me?" I asked tapping my foot impatiently against the marble tiles.

"No, I'm not." He said and that was it I had lost it completely. I grabbed his arm and lead him to an empty classroom.

"Why have you dragged me here?" He said clenching his jaw.

"Because I want to know what's wrong."

"Ohh really like you don't know what's wrong, why did you lied to me? You could have said it on my face like the last time that the kiss was a mistake and you're seeing someone else." He said looking straight in my eyes, his eyes showcasing betrayal and hurt.

"What? That kiss wasn't a mistake, at least not to me and I'm not seeing someone. Where is this coming from?" I asked confused, yes I lied but I couldn't tell him I was planning an important shipment.

"Don't lie to me! I saw you at a caffe."

"Okay listen I'm sorry I shouldn't have lied to you but that was my cousin whom you saw me with and I'm most definitely not hooking up with my cousin."

"But- but he was.... leaning in." He replied confusion etched on his beautiful face.

I thought for a moment about what he was saying before it kicked in.
"I had whipped cream on my nose, and I couldn't remove it so he leaned in to help me and that must be when you saw me."
He looked at the ground as silence lingered between the two of us.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have said all those things after all I'm no one to interrogate you.....but I just thought that the kiss meant something atleast it did to me so when you told me you had a stomachache and I saw you with your cousin I kind off lost it." He said looking down.

"He it's okay...I'm sorry too I shouldn't have lied in the first place but it was something important he wanted to talk about and you can talk to me if you feel like I've hurted you and that kiss meant more than something...." I trailed of as we smiled at each other.

I don't know who leaned in first, maybe it was me or maybe it was him but in a split second our lips were moving together in a blissful rhythm. We pulled away reluctantly, as our breathing got heavier. There was a tint of blush on I'm sure both of our cheeks. I was happy that it got back to normal.

But I wasn't so sure about what had to come. Could I risk being in a relationship? Hell, did he even wanted one with me? And just like that once again my brain went overdrive in infinite thoughts.
