The Night

___________

I was almost about to jump off the log and attack her. The thing is, I'm not a violent person. Then I realized the most horrifying part about this dare. Cameron was only in his boxers. Nothing else. Apparently, he doesn't like answering personal truth questions. Danielle knew he couldn't resist.

Everyone around the fire was silent. They all watched to see my reaction and Cameron's reaction. I didn't want him to be naked, that's for sure. I looked over at him.

His face was asking me "Is it okay?" and I simply nodded my head. He could barely tell that I did. I felt my face become frozen as he stood up in only his boxers, and his abs shining. Levi didn't even seem to mind all this.

Before Cameron hesitantly bent over to begin kissing her, I stood up abruptly and let the wool blanket fall to the ground. I turned on my feet and walked briskly back towards the truck. Even though it was kind of dark out and I had no idea what car was whose.

I did finally find the truck because it was the only truck there. I leaned my elbows on the hood of the truck and rested my head in my palms. It's okay, really. I told myself.

It's a silly kiss. It's a silly game. She's a silly girl who thinks she can get to me.

I suddenly felt someone touch my shoulder and I whipped around, expecting to see a rapist or something. Instead I found Cameron staring back at me. Blush rushed to my face when I saw he had only the wool blanket wrapped around his waist. He had his clothes clutched in one hand and my flip flops along with them.

"What are you-" Before I could get the whole questions out, he had dropped the clothes in his hand and cupped my cheek with it. His warm lips pressed to mine and I felt so dizzy I could have fallen. We must've kissed for nearly a minute before he finally pulled his head back and stared at me with bright eyes. I noticed his other hand was still holding up his blanket.

"You are the only girl I want to kiss for a minute long, understand that?" His voice was full of authority, but in a joking kind of way. I couldn't stop the smile on my face.

"I'm sorry that you had to get naked," it was nearly impossible to say that without giggling. He chuckled at my reaction.

"No biggy. Hold on, I'll change and we can head to your place." He told me before picking up his clothes and dashing behind the truck.

I sat in the truck while Cameron changed and decided to go ahead and turn the radio on as well as the truck. It wasn't even three minutes later that Cameron hopped inside and got his seatbelt on.

"What about Adam and Emma?" I asked him before he pulled out onto the highway.

"Adam said he and Emma would get a ride from someone else." He informed me. I nodded in understanding.

"I have to interview you. But I think I'll wait until tomorrow at lunch or something. Okay?" I told him as I scooted close to him and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Okay." He replied.

We were back at my house before I knew it. I don't know why but every time I have to stay home alone I get paranoid. I've always hated it. And now is not the time for me to start liking it.

I didn't want to keep Cameron back on a school night, and tomorrow is his big game. I inched over to the passenger side door and placed my hand on the handle. With hesitation, I decided to just ask.
