that friday...

"party at dylan's tonight." abby sips her soda as nash throws his arm around her.

a few weeks had already passed and their status was still at flirting.

i was beginning to become frustrated with them because:
a. they're cute
b. nash is the best out of all of the guys
c. my "relationship" was better than hers.

"im growing tired of this routine. there's a party every weekend." i complain.

"i heard stacy isn't gonna go because she's going to new york for a week."

"oh wow that completely changes my mind." i say emotionless.

"is it safe to say that there's sexual tension between you guys? like your body language is ju-"

"hailey, there's always sexual tension when a hot person is involved."

"thanks." cameron lightly nudges me.

"i was talking about me. but you're okay too." i joke.

he rolls his eyes, placing a slobbery kiss on my cheek.

"cameron!" i wipe my wet cheek.

"why do you kiss so wet?" nash laughs.

"its cute and it's been cute since 3rd grade." abby smiles.

"no its not cute, it tarnishes my makeup."

"i enjoy your face either way." he laughs.

i look at him weird, "cameron gives compliments? other than dirty ones?"

he nods, "i told you, im a total package." he runs a hand through his hair.

i laugh, pushing his arm, "shut up, im the package. im a special package that no one knows about." i mess up his hair.

"yeah, gilinsky's the only one who's gotten a full glimpse of that package." trevor smirks, making them laugh.

cameron gives a dry laugh, while i stay quiet, remembering what he told me about jack.

"lea' what's going on?" cameron glances at me on our way home.

"what are you talking about?" i state blankly at the moving road out of my window.

"you aren't talking much, and you talk alot." he chuckles.

i roll my eyes toward his direction, giving him a dirty look, "yunno, if something were really wrong, that wouldn't help, cam."

"sorry. just wanted to lighten the m-"

"yeah, well you darkened it, that's for sure."

"so nothing is wrong?"

"i don't wanna talk about jack, because i wouldn't have to talk about jack if it weren't for you tarnishing my image of his sex life."

"look, leah, i never meant to hurt your feelings or destroy the ones you have for gilinsky. it's just, im starting to care about you more as we get closer."

"well, its nice that you care." i mumble, trying to hide my smile.

he lightly laughs, placing his hand above my knee rubbing it soothingly.

it isn't uncomfortable, but it sure did take me by surprise.

i sigh, calming down a bit before grabbing his hand and playing with it.

his hand is soft, like his lips were the first time i had to kiss him at trevor's party.

his hand feels warm and i notice my small one grabs ahold of his and doesn't let go.

"whatcha doin'?" he smiles.

"trying to find some peace in holding your hand. how are they so soft?"

"well, i have great skin, one of the benefits of being a great package."

he grins, making me let go of his hand to slap his shoulder.
