Tutoring The Bad Boy

Chapter 20

It took so long to get here but we did it. It's super late at night and I'm so tired. Everyone else looks pretty tired too. We all get out the car and walk toward the cabin. It's so hot out here, I can't wait to turn on the A/C. What I remember reading online was the key was hidden in something by the door. I walk up the porch and can't see anything. It's too dark out. Cameron flashes a flashlight with his phone. "Look who's being smarter than the tutor now." He says. I roll my eyes and smile. I look around and see a plant. It's a fake plant. I look inside and bingo. I unlock the door and open it. I take one step inside and try to find a light switch on the sides. The lights then turn on and I look at Jake who found the light switch. "Today just isn't your day, huh?" He says and I glare at him. "I'm just tired." I state. "Yeah, same. Let's get some rest." Valentina tells us and i could honestly say I've never wanted to listen to her more then right now.

I wake up with the sun shining in my eyes. I sit up and look at Valentina who was sleeping next to me. I slid out of the bed and walk to the bathroom. It was locked. I knock and Cameron opens the door with a toothbrush sticking out his mouth. He moves a side to let me in. I grab my toothbrush and begin to brush my teeth. Once he's done he looks at me. "Want to get started on Algebra and then watch a movie after?" He asks sweetly. I look at him and slowly nod my head. By the way he is shirtless. He's wearing pajama pants though. Thank the lord. He walks out and closes the door. I wash my face and then walk out the bathroom. I slowly walk down the stairs because my knee still hurts from yesterday and see Cameron sitting on the couch in the living room area. I grab my bag and get my Algebra book. I sit next to him and surprisingly he already has his out. And his notebook. "What's your problem?" I ask. "Nothing. Something just came to mind last night." He answers. "Care to share this something?" I say. "I want to go to college someday. I want to do something with my life and these bad grades won't help. I've finally decided to get my shit together."

I couldn't help  but smile. He's so adorable. Even though he curses so dang much. "You can start with the things you say too." I give him a smile and he laughs. "You can start by stop being annoying." He says with a smile. I laugh and playfully roll my eyes. I open the textbook as does he and we turn to page 346. "Graphing. This is gonna take awhile." I state as we get started. About an hour or 2 later we are finished. Valentina and Jake left to go to the lake and swim. We said we would join them later. I guess its time for later. "Want to go join Val and Jake?" I ask. "Can we eat first." Its a question but it sounded more like a statement so I just nodded. He went to the kitchen as I grabbed our stuff to put away. I stood up and like I said earlier, my knee still kinda hurts, so holding the stuff and trying to go up the stairs was probably a bad idea. I fall back and (thank the lord) Cameron was right behind me so he caught me. The books fell on the floor. Our eyes locked together and I didn't want that to end. Once again he starts to lean in. We were so close to kissing. Centimeters away. I was so ready for something to interrupt but this time nothing happens. I feel his soft warm lips against mine and I can taste the pepsi he was just drinking. We both slowly pull away and look at each other. 

"Well..." I say into a small whisper. "Yeah..." He whispers back. I smile and stand up correctly. My smile goes away. "I'm so sorry." I run upstairs on my hurt knee, which hurt more by the way. I run into my room and lock the door. I grab my phone and put in my headphones. I listen to my music intently. I lay on my bed and close my eyes and get lost into my own world. Why did I let that happen? Why? He probably doesn't even like me and i just ruined everything. He probably thinks I'm a bad kisser. He's probably thinking why the hell did she just kiss me, gross! But then again what if hes not. What if he liked it. What if he likes me. And I just left him there. Ugh!!! I open my eyes and see Valentina and jump as I pull my headphones out. 

"How did you get in here? I locked the door." I say. "Learned how to pick locks from Jake. But Cameron told us what happened, I never ran here so fast." She replies before sitting at the edge of the bed. "I'm here. Always." I smile and pull her into a hug. I let out a small breath before speaking again. "I don't know what happens next. I don't know what to do." I say. It was silent as i throw myself back on the bed. "I just... I don't know. I just want to lay here." I finally say after 5 minutes of silence. "Okay. Well I'll be downstairs if you need me." She says and I give her a small smile before she walks out. I grab my pillow and scream into it. I then hear the door open. "I told you i just want to lay here Val." I say as I remove the pillow from my face. Only it wasn't Valentina. 

It was Cameron.
