Campfires & Rainbows

Chapter 49

It's dinner time, well we're on dessert now. We're eating the brownies Vasilia and a few other campers made. And Natalie's talking about how they couldn't get any info off Vasilia.

"Whatever, I doubt Vasilia knows anything. She's the sweetest most innocent person on Earth." she said.

But I wasn't paying attention. I'm anxiously looking for Quinn. I have to tell her what happened. It's the right thing to do. I've done it twice now. The first time she was forgiving... but I don't know about this time...

I'm scared she might break up with me.

My eyes well with tears at the thought. I'm so stupid, I let go of Quinn, for what? One kiss. One stupid kiss. I'm so stupid. I look around again... she still isn't here. Part of me is glad that I don't have to confront her yet. However, the other part of me is anxious that something's not right. Quinn should be here. Her cabin mates are here, why isn't she?

Is she hooking up with Keisha? My eyes go straight to her table...no Keisha's here. Maybe she's cheating with someone else...

"Stop it, Devin." I scolded myself.

My mind goes to this quote I once read on Pinterest.

"Cheaters tend to think everyone cheats. Liars tend to think everyone lies. Keep this in mind."

Maybe that's why she doesn't like me with Tiny...and for good reason too.

It's the same reason I don't like her with Keisha.

We're both cheaters, maybe that's why we're meant for each other.

Honestly though she's probably been cheating on me for the past few days. The way she eyed Keisha up and down. The way they look at each other in general, you can just tell Quinn's cheating on me.

What I did is completely justifiable and she can't get mad at me for it. Nobody can, Quinn's probably cheated on my hundreds of times by now. And if she hasn't I'm still in the right, two kisses are nothing compared to what she did with Keisha. I did nothing wrong, I simply took an eye for an eye.

...but she might not see it like that... She's going to leave me if I tell her. I know she will.

I don't want to lose her. But I'm also mad at her. Or maybe I'm not mad at her I'm just trying to justify what I did. I know what I did wasn't right. And that it was horrible. I gave up Quinn for one stupid kiss.

I can't tell her, it'll break her. And I don't think I'll be able to deal with the heartbreak.

"Devin, just don't do it again, promise me." I mumbled to myself.

"I promise." I whispered.

Two arms snaked around my waist, "Promise what?" Quinn said pecking the back of my neck. She smelled amazing, I could smell the fresh colonge on her.

"Oh nothing, I was just thinking about something. I didn't mean to say those words out loud." I giggled nervously." Where have you been all day?"

Quinn blushed, "It's been a crazy day, I'll explain later."

"Oh okay."

"But," her lips up against my ears, "I was hoping that you and I could go on a date tonight."

"Uh, it's almost 9:30. Bed time remember?"

"I know, but you know I'm not one to follow rules."

"What if we get caught?"

"Oh c'mon Devin," she whined, "don't be a pussy."

"I am what I eat." I shrugged.

This made her laugh, "But seriously Devin come on."

"Nooooo, remember the last time we spent one on one time? Our whole camp was set on fire!"

"But that wasn't our fault!"

"I know but still..."

"C'mon you owe me this." she pouted.

"I don't owe you anything." I scowled.

"Fine, but I know your in the same room as Aurora and probably sleeping in the same bed. Is that why you don't wanna spend time with me?" Her voice was harsh now. "So you can be with her?"

"NO! I-"

"I'm scared to leave you with her. I don't want to lose you because of her." she spit out the word 'her'.

"And you don't think I'm scared to leave you with Keisha? Don't you think that I'm scared you might leave me for her? Actually I'm scared to leave you with anybody!" I shouted loudly.

...or at least I did, in my head.

I wanted to say that so badly, but I didn't. I don't have a right to say that to her after what i did today. After all, I was the first to cheat...I think.

Instead of throwing Keisha back in her face, I assured her," You won't lose me because of her." I kissed her lips, "See you tonight?"

This made her grin," I can't wait."

"Okay great, when, and where are we meeting?"

I'm in the bathroom brushing my teeth. Wearing my fuzzy Hello Kitty pajama shorts and a black decollete tank top.

Tiny hugged me from behind and kissed my shoulder, "Ready to go to bed?"

I shook my head, wiggling myself out of her embrace and stepping away from her. I spit into the sink, swished the water in my mouth and spit it out. "Not quite." I finally said.

She tilted her head confused.

"I'm going out" I stated,"...with my girlfriend."

"Oh." Tiny looked down disappointed.

"Y-yeah." I stuttered, feeling awkward I left the bathroom and headed for the door.

Asmaa and Eva were fast asleep snoring in the bed next to ours.

My hand reached for the door handle, "Please don't go." Tiny grabbed my hand pleading. "Stay with me tonight."

I know that a lot of you might be confused about the whole Quinn thing. I promise everything will be a lot more clear in the next chapter. So stay tuned!
