The Runaway

Chapter 16

 Charlie's POV

As soon as the door closed Matt ran down the hall, holding my hand the whole way. "Why are we going so fast?" I laughed. "I've been waiting so long to take you out, and I finally get to. I can't wait!" He slowed down as we exited the lobby, and held the door open for me. When we sat down in the limo he slipped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer which made my cheeks burn. "This is going to be the best night ever." He said with a smirk on his face. "I hope so, I'm so glad I gave you this chance Matt." We headed down the long road in silence, although our fingers were intertwined. When we haultered to a stop Matt's face turned to excitement, throwing the door open and dragging me out. The surroundings were new to me since I have never been here before, but I can tell where we are about to go. "Are you taking me rollerskating?" I giggled. His cheeks turned a light shade of pink, turning to meet my gaze. "Maybe" We walked down the sidewalk to reach two towering brown doors. Matt held the door open, and we glided inside. The dark lighted room was filled with chatter, my ears catching several different conversations. To my right was the rink, where there was a flood of people skating around. Matt turned to the left where the rental rollerskates are so I followed. As I arrived at his side the guy was already getting Matt's size. "What size are you?" He asked in a serious tone. "6 pleaseee" He turned around back to the counter and said "And a 6 for this beautiful girl" His words made my heart race. After I received my skates, I sat on a bench and attempted to tie the tangled laces. Matt had gone to the bathroom, so I was left alone. "Need help with that gorgeous?" I turned to a deep voice, which was unfamiliar. "Um no thanks" His eyes were a beautiful shade of blue, and his figure towered mine. "C'mon It's no trouble at all." Before I could reject he bent down and began tying up the laces. After he was done with the first, he hopped to the second and finished within seconds. After he stood up I looked him dead in the eye, "My name is Jake, what's yours?" His dark brown hair was flopped to the left of his face, almost covering his eyes. "Um Charlie" I said shyly. "Well, it's very nice to meet you Charlie. Are you here with anyone?" "Actually, I-" I got cut off by an arm wrapping around my waist. "She's here with me." I shifted my eyes toward Matt who had a devious look in his eye. "Oh. Well it was nice meeting you, call me sometime?" My cheeks blushed which made Matt clench harder around my waist. Before we could exchange numbers, I was pushed to the other side of the room. "Who was that?" Matt seemed furious. "His name was Jake I think, I was having trouble putting on my skates and he came over and tied them for me." "You couldn't have waited for me to tie them for you?" Why was he getting so mad over this, I didn't even know the kid! "I didn't ask him Matt he just came over. I said no thanks but before I could reject he was already tying them, It was just a friendly gesture. Stop being mad please!" My voice escalated quite quickly, suprising Matt along with myself. "I'm sorry Charlie I just got jealous coming out and seeing you and another guy talking. I want you to myself tonight, no sharing." His voice seemed almost sad, which made me feel bad. "It's okay Matt. You have me tonight, all to yourself, okay?" That seemed to cheer him right up, "C'mon let's go skate." We walked to the edge of the rink and slid onto the smooth wood. Almost right away Matt fell on his butt; I could tell he wasn't a very good roller skater. I have been coming to roller rinks ever since I was young, so I can move around pretty well. "Are you okay?" I squeeked out while laughing. "Oh, you think that's funny?" He laughed, and pulled me down by my right arm. I landed roughly on my butt, but I laughed so hard It was barely noticeable. He attached his hand with mine, and we rolled slowly next to the edge. "You can do a few laps if you want, I know I'm holding you back" He slowly stated. "Alright, I'll be back in a minute or two." I sped up within a few seconds and bolted my way around the rink. Even though It has been a few months since I've skated, my skills haven't changed a bit. I zipped by Matt and skated backwards to see his face. He looked slightly impressed with my skills, which made me happy. After my third or fourth lap I began getting bored alone so I grabbed Matt's hand while passing him and led him forward with me. He tripped a few times and lost balance quite often but I found it cute. After an hour or so we headed to the small food booth and ordered two burgers and fries. "Can we share a milkshake?" He asked, trying not to be too forward. "Sure, It'll be romantic." I laughed. While waiting for our food, Matt went over to a claw machine and attempted to snatch a big brown teddy bear. His first two attempts were complete fails, but the third try was different. The claw hooked onto the teddy bear by It's face and carried it toward the slot where we can grab it. I sarcastically cheered as Matt took the bear from it's place and handed it over to me. "This can be a gift to remember our first date. Not to worry though, there will be plenty more dates to come." He winked with his right eye and I laughed. I placed the teddy bear in a locker along with my purse I had brought, and headed back to where the food was. I was starving so I ate my burger rather quickly, but without embarrasing myself infront of Matt... I hope. I munched on a fry every so often, watching the people skate around. Without noticing, I leaned in to drink from the milkshake at the same time as Matt, and our foreheads touched. The weird thing was, neither of us moved back. Instead we both took sips, and then Matt leaned in and kissed my cheek. "I told you sharing a milkshake would be a good idea." He smirked. I laughed but before the conversation could go on, girls started swarming around our table. "OMG ARE YOU MATT ESPINOSA?" One girl shouted. I knew that Matt was famous but I wasn't expecting for him to get swarmed by girls. "Yes I am" Matt responded. All of a sudden 20 girls were around Matt, asking questions, talking to him, drooling over him. In a way it bothered me, but I'm the lucky one on a date with him, I just have to remember that. "Is this your girlfriend?" In the matter of seconds all eyes were on me, and It made my stomach turn. I'm not Matt's girlfriend...yet. We are only on our first date. "This is Charlie, I am crazy about her but we aren't dating." His words amazed me for a bit, 'I am crazy about her' played over and over in my head. The girls began to drown me in their own curiousity. "Do you like Matt?" "How long have you guys been dating?" "Are you crazy about him too?" "You guys would be so cute, I ship it." Then, one girl came a little too close to me and whispered "Matt is mine, so before you put your hands on him, remember that." Her words got me infuriated, so before I could rethink my plan, I grabbed Matt's hand and shifted through the girls. We reached my locker where I grabbed my bag and teddy bear, and then headed to the rental booth. We each took our skates off and handed them in, placing them on the counter. This whole process was silent, but I didn't mind it at all. Once we stepped into the night breeze, Matt's eyes glared at mine and stayed there. "I'm sorry about all the girls, did they make you upset?" He couldn't help it that he was famous, people just adore him. "Well, your fans can get a little crazy sometimes. I mean most of them were nice, but this one girl said that you are hers so I should stay away from you. Like in my opinion that is a bit obsessive." I laughed a little at the girls, because going back about a month ago that would have been me. "Well, I hope you don't let them get to you. They just want me to themselves, some are pretty obsessed. I can promise you that the only girl I really want is you Charlie." He leaned in a bit closer, enough to wear I can feel his hot breath on my face. "Only you" he repeated. Before I could say anything he leaned down and attached his lips to mine. I felt sparks in our kiss, something I have never felt before. My hands found their place around the crook of his neck, and his hung slightly below my waist. The kiss deepened, which made my heart race faster and faster. I could feel all of his emotions through this kiss, it's unbelievable. Before we got carried away, I let go of him. He looked a little depressed but I didn't want to continue our first kiss infront of a public roller rink. "Let's go back to the hotel and watch a movie" I smiled ear to ear at him, and he returned the smile. "Okay"

Briana's POV

My heart almost stopped completely. Had Cameron just asked me to live with him? This may be just me overthinking everything, but moving in together seemed like a huge step in a relationship. I don't want to end things with Cam, I like him way too much. But I think we should take things slow and not rush. "Um, Bri?" Cameron shakily laughed. He just put a serious question on the table and here I am spacing out looking like an idiot. "Cam, I love you, and I don't want us to end. I think we need a little bit more time to get to know eachother, okay?" He looked really disapointed, but It felt like the right decision. "Yeah, that's fine. You can think about it however long you want, just tell me when you think you know me enough okay." His voice sounded a little on edge, but I understood. "And by the way, I have my own apartment, so we would be living alone. If you were worried about my family intruding that wouldn't be a problem. Just letting you know" (A/N I don't think Cam actually has his own apartment I'm just making it up for the story)  I was a little relieved to know he lives on his own. I felt as if his parents would think low of me if I just came into their house asking for shelter. I know they wouldn't want a girl like that near their perfect son. Come to think of it I have nowhere else to go... I can't go home and face my parents, I hate them. I dont have enough money to support myself yet, since I don't have a job at the moment. What would I do about Charlie? She can't really go back to her home, I don't think she wants to. I don't want to be really far away from her and never see her again. There were so many aspects to think about, my head was spinning. At the moment, moving in with Cam felt like the right decision. Atleast until everything can get figured out. Who knows what can happen with our relationship, we could date for months or even years. "Cam?" I yelled before he reached the door. "Yes Bri?" He asked. "This is all really confusing to me. There are so many things to think about. Charlie, home, a job, everything else. Who knows how long our relationship will last. But I know that I want to stay with you for a long time, so I will be happy to move in with you. Atleast until everything is worked out and I know how my life will be going." His face formed into a bigger smile than I have ever seen. He walked toward me and gripped me into a tight hug. Once he pulled back, he kept his arms around my waist. "Knowing how good we are together and how much I love you, we will be together forever." He leaned down and kissed me on the lips, making sure to let me know how greatful he is to have me. Honestly, I am the lucky one. I am dating Cameron Dallas.
