That Special Someone

  Rose woke up in the middle of the night due to a nightmare. She looked at the digital clock on the desk that read 10:34. She quietly got out of bed and got dressed in the bathroom for safe measures. She walked out of the bathroom fully clothed and looked at Cameron. He was shirtless and lying on his back. This made Rose blush a bit. He looks so cute when he's sleeping. She thought. She tried to crawl in bed with him without waking him up, only to miserably fail. Cameron woke up and looked at her.

"Rose. what are you doing?" He asked.

Rose's eyes darted all over the place. She tried to look for an excuse but she couldn't find one. She sighed.

"I, woke up from a nightmare, and then tried to sleep next to you." She said blushing a bit.

Cameron's face was now redder than Rose's.

"Uh... I don't know what to say to that honestly..." He replied.

"Why don't we just sleep together for one night?" She asked.

"What? No! That's- I- oh forget it." He grumbled pulling the blanket back over him.

  Rose was running out of options. It was either find a way to sleep with him, or continue to wake up from nightmares. She played her last card.

  Cameron had the blanket over his entire body. Then he heard Rose crying. He turned to see Rose sitting at the edge of the bed crying. Tears falling from her eyes. Cameron sat up instantly and wrapped the blanket around her.

"Hey, come on now. Don't cry, I don't like it when people cry, it makes me wanna cry come on. Whats wrong?" He asked.

"I keep having these nightmares. And they won't stop. I just don't know what to do." She said through her sobs. She instantly wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. He nervously returned the hug. He patted her on the back.

"It's okay. It's okay." He cooed. His eyes began to dart around the room.

  They both laid down on the bed still in each others arms. Rose buried her face in Cameron's chest and continued to fake-sob. She snuggled herself closer to him and pressed her body against his. Cameron's blush deepened as Rose rested her chin on his shoulder. "Thank you." She said. A devious smile spread across her face but then quickly wen away. After a few minutes of them snuggling Rose did something unintentional. She kissed him on the cheek. Her eyes widened at her action. Cameron's face was now as red as a tomato. His mouth gaped and his eyes slowly went in Rose's direction, then darted forward. She shook it off and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next morning Cameron woke up with Rose on top of him. She had her head resting on his chest. As much as he loved this moment, it was kind of awkward. He pat her back and shook her a bit. "Oi. Rose. Wake up." He whispered. She woke up and she rested her chin on his chest and her eyes fluttered open. Her eyes were staring straight into his.

"Morning sweetheart." She said sleepily.

"What?!" Cameron asked.

"Huh?!" Rose said sitting up and banging her head off the bottom bunk. "Ow..." She groaned rubbing the back of her head.

"Now you know how I feel." Cameron said smiling. "Oh by the way, were you sleeptalking or something? Because you called me sweetheart?" Cameron asked.

"Duh, obviously." She replied. Cameron frowned. Rose giggled and got off him. "Oh by the way, did you have some sorta flashlight near your crotch?" She asked smiling at him.

Cameron's face burned red. "What?!" He shouted sitting up and hitting his head off the top bunk. "Agh! Fuck!" He shouted. Rose laughed and opened the door. Cameron grabbed his shirt and rushed to her side. She looked at him putting on his shirt while following. She got to see just a bit of skin before the shirt covered his torso completely."So, where to today?" He asked.

"How about... hmm..." Rose pouted as if she were thinking of what to do, "I got nothing." She replied shrugging.

"Hmm. Me neither. Wanna just hang out at the park?" He asked.

"Sure." Rose answered cheerfully. They walked to the park and had friendly conversations with each other about random things. Cameron brought up last night and Rose didn't want to talk about it. She felt like she would cry for real that time. Cameron looked forward to see the same spiky blue haired girl he saw earlier in the lecture hall. She spotted him a waved. Cameron waved back and looked left to see that waitress from the Green Leaf Cafe. She saw him staring at her swaying hips and waved while smiling. He turned red and looked away while covering his face from her. She giggled and continued walking.

  Cameron looked to his right to see a new looking girl. She had mint colored hair with a single white stripe in the center with golden eyes. She sat on the bench sipping on a cup of Sprite. She looked at Cameron, smiled then waved. Cameron waved back returning the smile. He looked at Rose who was smiling softly at him. He returned the smile then asked, "What're you thinking about?"  She didn't say anything, just continued to smile. "Rose, you're, kind freakin' me out right now." He said nervously. She continued to smile at him. "Hello?!" He shouted waving a hand in front of her face. She snapped out of her trance and looked at Cameron.

"Huh? What was I doing?" She asked.

"Smiling at me..." He replied.

"Oh I was just-"

"SOFTLY. I mean seriously whats wrong with you?" He asked.

"I... well... ya see..." She sighed, "I... kind of, have crush on you when I first met you." She confessed. Cameron's jaw dropped. "I mean, you looked like a pretty nice guy - and you are really - its just that, I didn't know if you felt the same way." She finished looking away nervously.

"I-... Rose don't you think you're taking this way to fast? I mean we've only known each other for what? Three days?" He asked.

"Please Cameron!" She shouted with tears in her eyes. Cameron looked around and saw a couple of people looking at them.  He stood up and brought Rose along.

"Okay, come on now, we'll talk about it in the dorm room." He said rushing back to the dormitory. They walked into the dorm room and Rose walked away from Cameron and sat on the bed.

"I can't believe you," She sneered, "how could you do that to me?" She asked.

"Rose I-"

"No! I don't care! Don't talk to me!" She shouted at him.

"Really Rose! You're overreacting about-"

"OVERREACTING?!"

"YES! I SIMPLY SAID YOU'RE TAKING IT TO FAST AND YOU SULKED! IT'S GREAT AND ALL THAT YOU FEEL THAT WAY FOR ME BUT YOU COULD HAVE ADMITTED IT A FEW WEEKS OR SO LATER!" Cameron yelled. Knowing that she'd just lost the argument Rose collapsed to the floor and sobbed. She buried her face in her hands and sobbed loudly. Cameron sighed. He sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. She slowly hugged him and sobbed in his chest.

"You're right. I think that, we should, get a little time to get each other." She sobbed.

"Yeah. Sounds good." He replied hugging her tighter.

"I just, wanted you to know that-"

"Yeah... I know." Cameron said patting her back, "I know."

  Cameron sat there with Rose comforting her until she stopped. They both stood up still hugging each other. Rose rested her head on his right shoulder and they stood there continuing to hug. Cameron kissed Rose on the head and rubbed her back.

"Feel better?" He asked.

"Very much so." Rose replied hugging him tighter.

"Good, good." Cameron cooed. "Come on. Lets go-"

"I... don't think I wanna go anywhere right now." She snapped. Cameron nodded and pushed away, but Rose pulled him back. Cameron chuckled and hugged her tightly. He laid her down on the bottom bunk and crawled in next to her. She wrapped an arm around him and rested her head on his chest. They both smiled at each other and fell asleep in each others arms.

  Cameron woke up a few hours later with Rose still in the same position as before. He slipped out of it and walked towards the door. Before he did he turned and looked at Rose. She was smiling, all cozy and warm. Cameron almost melted. He walked back over to her and leaned over her then kissed her on the cheek. She let out a cute sleepy giggle then rolled over.

"Oh Cameron..." She said in her sleep.

  Cameron chuckled then blushed a bit. He turned around and left the dorm room. He walked down to the park to go meet those girls, try and get to know them.  He walked into the park and saw the same exact girls. He looked at the waitress and she looked back at him with a smile.

Okay, I'll try her first. He thought. He walked over to her and sat next to her. "Hey." He said.

"Hi. I remember you." She replied.

"Yeah, Green Leaf." Cameron said.

"Yep. You were blushing like a tomato when you looked at me." She teased.

"Yeah, I just thought you were really pretty." He replied. They both blushed then looked away.

"Thank you." She said, "So. Um, what do you, uh, what do you do?" She flirted.

"Uh, play instruments." He replied.

"Really? What kind?" She asked.

"Acoustic, Electric, Drums and a little bit of the Microphone." He answered.

"Wow, I never thought you were so-" There was a sudden beeping noise and she pulled out her phone, "Aw, gotta go back to work, sorry." She replied.

"Hey, could I get your name?" He asked.

"Hmm? Oh, it's Bon-Bon." She answered running off.

"Bon-Bon eh? Alright..." Cameron mumbled. He stood up and walked over to the mint haired girl. She saw him approaching and waved. Cameron sat down next to her and smiled. "Hey." He said.

"Hey. I see you've met my friend Bon-Bon already." She replied.

"Yeah, just trying to get to know different people, ya know?" He asked.

"Yeah. I remember I tried that when I first came here." She replied.

"And that's how you met Bon-Bon?" He asked.

"Oh no, me and Bon-Bon were good friends before we came here." She answered.

"Ah, I see." He said.

"Yeah, I saw the way you were looking at her." She teased.

"Lemme guess... Green Leaf cashier?" He asked.

"Yup." She answered. There was another beeping sound and she stood up. "Welp, gotta go to work. Name's Lyra by the way." She said.

"Cameron." He replied.

"Nice to meet you Cameron. I'll see ya later." She said waving.

  Cameron looked at the spot where the blue haired girl was but she wasn't there anymore. He walked back to the dormitory so he could check on Rose. He quietly walked in to see her sitting up yawning. She looked at him and smiled lovingly.

"Hey." She said softly.

"Hey." Cameron replied. Rose got up and walked over to him and wrapped her arms around the back of his neck. She leaned up to kiss him but Cameron stopped her. "Hey remember what I said?" He asked. Rose frowned and she leaned back down. She rested her head on his chest and Cameron hugged her close. "So yeah I had time to talk to other people." He said walking back towards the bed.

"Really? She asked.

"Yup." Cameron told her about meeting Bon-Bon and Lyra, but he didn't get to meet the blue haired girl.

"Hmm. Just as long as you don't do anything with them you're fine." Rose said smiling at him.

Cameron chuckled. "Not a chance." He replied. Rose giggled and hugged him. They both fell asleep on the bed again and Rose forced herself on top of him. Cameron hugged her tightly and the both fell asleep together...

...Again.
