— 028. bewitched — dylan
THE AIR WAS CRISP and cold. i was cold as ever but i had already made my escape from cam after we kissed... so their was no turning back now. i shivered as i walked the grass of the golf course.
i turned slightly as i heard light steps behind me. as i saw the brunette boy behind me i quickened my pace, not looking back. "dylan— dylan!" he says as he grabs my arm, firmly but ever so gently.
"what cam." i say, my voice wavering. "i'm sorry." he sighs. "what?" i ask confused. "i'm sorry. i just— i needed to do that, just to see." he says. "see what.." i ask as i take a tired seat on the grass.
he then plops next to me as he turns my way. "i needed to see if i still love you. and i do. but it's ok if you don't. i don't want to but i'm ready to move on if you have.." he says softly. i don't think as i let out a laugh.
"are you serious cameron?" i ask as he looks confused. "i do love you. so much." i cave in. "it actually hurts sometimes. but i don't know if i'm ready. and it's not a bad thing. it's just that you.." i groan as i can explain how i'm feeling.
"i can't explain it." i explain to him as i pull out my airpod case. i hand him one as i scroll and play 'bewitched' shutting my phone off and laying my back on the grass, staring up at the stars. once the song ends i slightly glance over at cam who's a cheesing mess.
"i bewitch you?" he asks cockily. "something like that sea boy." i mutter as i lay back down. we lay on the ground for about what felt like an hour but definitely had to have been longer since we were met by the sight of the sun beaming and the rest standing over us.
my head was laid on cams chest as i peeked through my closed eyes. "quit staring like i'm a circus clown." i mutter as i sit up and hear cam slightly groan in annoyance that i moved. the group looked at us confused as i brushed my clothes off.
"are you guys..?" belly whispers as i begin walking with her. "no," i say simply. "what?" she asks as i walk ahead, jumping on conrad's back. his big brother instincts instantly kick in as he respectfully places his hands under my thighs, holding me up.
"you ok?" he asks softly as we walk to the cars. "yeah, i think so." i say with a small smile. we then all made it back to the house as we huddled around the island. skye had refused to go with aunt julia which surprised most of us.
"guys we can spend what could be our last day sulking around.." i point out. "a party.." belly mutters. "yeah!" jeremiah claps happily as we all look around satisfied with our plan. "ok, me and conrad will go get the drinks-." belly begins.
"i'll come with." jere says which makes me roll my eyes. "alright. so me, jere and conrad will go get drinks, dylan can go with cam to get whatever speakers we need and steven and taylor... just don't kill each other." belly finishes as we all nod.
"i love this for us!" cam says excitedly as i giggle, covering my laugh. "uh, is it ok if i tag along?" skye asks as i nod, not thinking anything of it. we then all get into the car as i shiver even more.
i wore a plain white tube top and some grey sweats. thinking it would be a bit warm outside but cams car was even colder. i was sat in the backseat watching cam and skye giggling over something i couldn't hear as i sulked back in my seat.
after a while the chill became unbearable as i spoke up. "cam, could you turn the heat up a bit?" i ask as he does but then reaches under his seat and passes me his whale watchers hoodie with a small smile.
i slide it on, the hoodie being a bit big as i open my phone. about five minutes later we arrived at cams house as we stood, watching him awkwardly unlock the front door. as we stepped in the warm smell of what i knew to be his mom making hot chocolate filled my nose.
we all awkwardly pooled into her kitchen as her face lit up at the sight of me. my face erupted into a huge smile as she engulfed me in a hug.
"dylan, i missed you so much, it's been so long.. and cam has been so... different without you." she whispers into my ear as we let go of the hug. "i've missed you too." i say honestly. "are you all here to stay?" she asks greeting skye and cam.
"no, solo estamos cogiendo algunas cosas para la fiesta." cam says in spanish as i quickly comprehend. i didn't take spanish 3 for nothing. she then gives a nod as we make our way to his room.
cam and skye walked in first but i hesitantly stood at the door. i just knew this room held to many memories i couldn't deal with. i sighed as i stepped in. "your room hasn't changed one bit cam, you need to switch it up.." i mumble as he laughs.
i then take a seat on the bed as i look around. my eyes then stopped as i saw a small frame around a kiss mark on the wall. i never thought he'd actually do it. it was one day after i had came over to cams house during the summer and i looked around his room.
"this needs more decorations cam.." i mutter as he rolls his eyes. "then you decorate it." he replies back sassily as he gently squeezes my waist. "ow! watch me.." i say as i grab my lipgloss from my bag and apply some.
i then lean foward as i gently kiss cam then his wall. "there's no way you just got lipgloss on my lips and my wall!" he complains. "frame it. then your room would look at least a bit more decorated.." i say as i fall onto him gently.
he laughs into the crook of my neck as i run my fingers through his hair. but i seemed to have gotten distracted as i hear my name being called. "dylan.." i hear cam call as i look his way. his eyes seemed to have met the framed kiss as well as i look up at him.
"yeah?" i ask as i brush my hair out of my face. "we got the speakers.." he says as i nod, standing up and rushing out of the room.
n, y'all i'm back i js needed to get my grades in check before i came back and i did so🙈🙈
