Chapter 50: Chapter 50

Padgett's POV

I was waiting for him to reply, he parted his lips to say something but nothing came out.

It's fine, if you don't want to because we are not dating, Cam! It's fine if we remain just friends, and forget about everything; I don't kiss and tell. He laughed coldly, at my words even my own heart kept screaming at me, calling me a hypocrite.

Who am I kidding? I love him and I have waited for this day for him to say I love you to me but my stupid self is creating havoc for me, I fixed my eyes on the floor, I am hurting, and my heart beat fast, waiting for the words he is going to say next.

If we are not dating, we can't be friends because I can't taste you and still act like it's nothing, it's better, we also end our friendship as well.

I felt been hit by a rock, and my tears build up, I wanted to grab his hand but he is faster than I, he pulled the kitchen door knob and exit the door.

Hey Cameron, I didn't know you were in there, did you see Padgett? His mom asked as soon as he bang the door in front of me.

I am not her keeper. His voice is filled with anger, I have never seen him this mad, I wipe my tears and then come out, I was about to leave, for my room when his mom called out to me.

Padgett! Where you in there also? I nod.

Have you been crying? My heart skip, I wasn't expecting her to notice that I have cried a great deal. My poor thing! She pulled me into a hug, and as I felt her embrace, I went into another round of tears, but she kept consoling me. Sh! My baby! She said taping my back, when I finally stopped, she looks me in the eyes. I know you missed your mommy but the thing is, I will always be here for you because I love you just as I love Cameron. She kissed my forehead.

And here! I figured out that, your shoes are a bit worn out, so I thought of getting new ones for you, not to worry, if you don't like them, we could go shopping by next weekend, you; me and Cameron, the three of us, I have missed that naughty boy, I really have no idea of what is going on anymore in his life, I wonder, which girl is on his list for now, I heard is a playboy...

I gulped, I really wish, she changed the topic and it seems God answer my prayers, she finally stops, when she said we should prepare dinner together.

Cameron's POV.

I drove out of the Mansion, and Padgett's words came running back into my memories, she is hurting I know, not just the kiss but the fact that I told Cathy that I felt nothing for her, I know she hates me now, for saying that I don't love her. I have no idea at all what was going through my head when I uttered that sentence that I didn’t have feelings for her

Gosh! She just misunderstood everything, I should have never made her sad, I guess my reasoning was that if Cathy thought that I didn’t have feelings for her she would leave her alone, she will stop bugging her and my feelings for her might put her into more trouble, right now, I know Newton and Cathy hurt her because of me and I will only be putting her into more trouble if I admit outrightly

Shit! Cameron! Do you already have feelings for her before the kissed? I asked no one in particular.

If it wasn’t for my actions, and my reckless use of words, I wouldn’t be in the mess I’m in right now, a lot of things would have turned out so differently, Padgett wouldn’t be mad at me, she wouldn't have pushed me away, I know she is scared that I am going to treat her like one of my flings but the truth is, she is different, I have never felt anything as strong as this for any girl.

And Berry, wouldn’t be here right now, causing more drama in my life and that stupid acts of her two years back, wouldn’t be hunting me right now

My past wouldn’t come back to haunt me and creamy, would still be by my side and she would have fallen for me, not that asshole Newton or Dennis because I swear deep down in me, she is all I need to complete my whole freaking being, without her I feel like something is missing like a home without love, there is no me without Creamy

I am sorry creamy, please, come back to me please; say you love me the same way as I love you….I thought as I drove into the nearest bar, I really want to get wasted, what hurts the most is the fact that she rejected my love, she might be in love with another.

I know Padgett always wonders why I never wanted her to date Newton or anyone else

Apart from the fact, that I know Newton doesn’t love her at all, he just wants her because she is mine. I laughed at my silly self. Why would I think like that; that she is mine we are best friends and she is not willing for me to own her?

What Is wrong with me? I am totally loosing my mind; I am going crazy all because of Padgett, I need her, I just want her to forget about every other boy, and focus on just me, only me.

“Calm down Cameron, be calm. maybe I don’t need to see her right now maybe I just need to stay away from her too at least until I get myself together because right now am so confused

Just come back to me please…I thought breaking inside, I kept sipping on the alcohol

Aw! My head is beginning to hurt from too much thinking and alcohol. I groaned in frustration

I may not be sure about anything right now, but one thing is certain Padgett means the whole world to me, my life makes absolutely no sense without her, I can’t concentrate without her; I can’t think properly without her

In a nutshell, am going crazy just because she rejected my love, maybe, I should just forget all about her but my stubborn heart wouldn't let me.

What is wrong with me? Why do I have these strong feelings towards her, does it mean that I am ready to change my way of life for her? Maybe, if I stop those worthless lifestyles, she will learn to love me. I thought as I drink like mad, I was too drunk to know what was going on around me.

Berry's POV.

As the sun ray falls on his handsome face, I can't help but admire Cameron lying on my bed peacefully, he opened his eyes slowly.

Where am I? His vision is not clear yet, so I move closer to him.

Cupcake! Are you up? He jumped from the bed.

What thou fuck am I doing here?

Relax! You were dead drunk at the bar, it just so happens that I was around there.

Only shit! He stands very fast from the bed. Why did you take off my shirt? Hope nothing happened between us.

It's not...

Everything is bad, I don't want to be seen anywhere around you and I fucking don't love you anymore.

You really are ungrateful.

I won't have preferred you left me here in the street, than share a room with you, it's disgusting...

Why? Don't you miss... I circled my hand around his neck, I wanted to kiss him but he pushed me away. Cameron! Do you want to hurt me?

I really don't care, if you end up at the hospital, it's not my fucking business.

I am sorry Cameron...

Save it, I don't love you anymore and I will never love you because my heart is with someone else.

That poor best friend...

Save it and where are my car keys? He asked then dragged from the table without throwing a glance at me. I sighed in frustration as I watch him head out

I have no idea what came over me when I thought of cheating on Cameron, I guess I was carried away, or probably pride because everyone kept saying that Cameron is madly in love with me and he can't live without me.

Well now I’m back for you cupcakes, I thought as I tried to eat after he left, then I remembered in school yesterday, those two girls staring intently at me like they were interested in me or something, so I allowed them to have a discussion with me.

Well, it doesn’t hurt to find out, that am I the center of attraction because of Cameron, I heard that he is now a complete playboy... I thought as I got up walking toward them

Hey, do I know you two… I said staring at them

Nope, but I assured you; we can be of help to you since you are new here...The one at the right said, I gave her a faint smile.

Have a sit, my name is Cassie. She added then stretched her hand towards me, I take her hand in mine.

And I’m Cathy... The other said

And you must be Berry, we’ve heard a lot about you and we assure you; if you stick with us no one would be able to come between you and Cameron, he’s yours right from the start

Finally, I’ve met someone who gets my back. I said smiling, putting up a fake facade.

But first, you have to do whatever it takes to get rid of Padgett, I know you are aware that pest is always around him.

Geez! it was like we think exactly alike because I was thinking the same thing you know. I said, looking at the face of the two girls

Good, we are on the same page then. The girl that introduce herself as Cassie said

To get rid of her…Cathy said smirking

And for Cameron to be mine… I added as we shook hands, I snapped out of my thoughts, then sip on my coffee.

Good, I found my perfect minions to use I can’t do all the dirty work… I think out loud, as I grabbed my stuff and left.
