Chapter 5-Tell Me Who You Really Are : Part 1

5:37

The night has gotten colder and the sky had grown black. The lamps circling the ice rink shinned bright making the area look like day.

Cameron and I continued skating. Holding hands, laughing, just completely enjoying ourselves throughout the whole time. I lose my balance out of nowhere and fell. Legs going in the air like a rag doll, and I turn myself to land on my knees to at least not to hurt myself to much.
"Dammit!!" I yell. Cameron comes over and take my hand and helps me up.
"Hehehe you alright?" He chuckles while pulling me up.
"Pft.. I've fell harder than that before."
We hold hands and skate slowly through the rink.

Then out of nowheree some guy skated through me and Cameron making him almost fall and move two feet away. Cameron cupped his hands. "Hey watch it asswhole!!!" He yells at the guy, then the guy turns his head smiles and flips Cameron off. I skate over to Cameron closing the gap between us. I put my hand on his shoulder and stomach to calm him. "Hey it's fine he probably thinks he is some hotshot who lost control when he was showing off to his girlfriend or something." I say softly to him.
"But he just ran through us, he is probably some homophobic."

I put my hand on his cheek, reassuring him that it was fine that it didn't matter.

"It's about time we should leave anyways, come on. It's getting to cold for this."

With some whining Cameron finally agreed to leave. The guy who cut through us was sitting on a bench near the exit and Cameron gave him the death stare while shooting a bird/flipping him off with both hands. Turning to see what Cam was doing made me laugh harder then I thought I could. The guys eyes were wide open, with a look of complete awe and hatred.

I pull Cameron away to return our skates while I was clutching my stomach in pain.

"Did you see his face, he was just like ho shit!!" Cameron says mimicking the guys face.

"Haha ya I can't believe you actually did that."

"Hey the urge was too strong, it was like a three week clean alcoholic getting a bottle of Hennessy put in front of him."

"Nice simile there."

"Ha thanks."

We leave the rink and start walking to the café for our coffee. I put my arm around Cameron feeling the heat of his body warming me. Cameron layed his head on my shoulder, his hair felt soft to the touch, like newly picked cotton, and smelled like , coconut , huh it suits him nicely. I looked up at the sky, it was it's normal one or two stars and just black with wisps of either clouds or smog from cars, cigarettes and factories. The sky was nice though, it had a mixture of violet and dark blue with small snowflakes drifting down, like falling stars, slowly and peacefully.
Either I was zoned out by thinking of how this night has been going or the city seemed to be quite. No car horns, no police sirens, no yelling people, no sounds that would come from a city at night was around. Passing about maybe two sets of hookers we finally got to Colette's Café.

6:07
"Hey Cameron. Who's this?"
"Oh hey Lindsay I didn't know you were working today. And this is Aiden."
"Ya I'm just trying to get some more hours.." Lindsay then looks at me. "Hi Aiden." Lindsay smiles and I politely reply.
"So anyways Cam is it your usual today?" Lindsay asks.

Usual? Huh Cameron must be a regular here. Must be why he knows this girl, Lindy or whatever her name is.
I think.

"One sec." Cameron says holding up a finger to signal that he was going to come back.

Cameron walks over to me and asks.
"Hey do you want a hazelnut cappuccino and a chocolate croissant?"
I think a bit "I do like hazelnut coffee and chocolate so ya sure."
Cameron does a gun with his fingers winks and makes a clicking noise then walks back to the counter.

"You all set?" Lindsay asks.
Cameron laughs. "Ya I'll have the usual but make it times two." Cameron holds up two fingers.
Lindsay laughs at him, I don't really think that was funny maybe she has a crush on him, like almost every other girl in the world. I think to myself smiling. To bad for them he isn't into girls.

I look around looking at all the people who were currently in the café. Mostly adults with books or laptops. Sitting at tables and love seats near the windows. One man was typing hysterically on his MacBook Air and some girl probably 16 was sitting on a sofa drinking an expresso and reading "The Glass Castle" surprised to see an actual teenage girl reading an actual book instead of text messages. I was also surprised by the book, I personally read it and it was a very emotional and powerful story.

"Hey." Cameron says putting a hand on my shoulder. Making me jump out of mid thought.
"Yea?" I say.
"It's going to be a while for everything, you could go sit I'll stay here and wait."
Cameron says.
"You sure, I could stay with you. There isn't a need for me to go sit down." I say trying to be persuasive.
"Nah, it's fine just go sit down and relax it's probably five minutes anyways." Cameron puts a hand on my face then quickly takes it off and turns back around to the counters.
I walk behind him put my hands on his shoulders and whisper to him. In a husky, sexy tone.

"I'll be waiting for you, don't be too long."
I maneuver my head around so we are looking face to face. Gazes locked I grinned a devilish grin and walked away.

Halfway to two cushioned chairs with a table in between, before I started thinking.
I look at my reflection in the window my face showing complete shock.

What the fuck did I do. I just acted like I wanted to have sex with him. I think.

I shake my head and go and sit down.
Checking my Iphone for any messages.

1 message from Noah.

"Hey Adrian heard u were on a date tonight hope ur having a great time

Oh btw ik its with Cameron Boyce ur mom cant keep a secret lol :D :D"
I reply with,
"Thx man and ya ik she blurts crap out alot and ya its going fine thx txt u after so u can now how it went"

I put my phone away and looked up.
Right then Cameron was coming with two coffees and croissants.

I walk up to him and take one of each.
"Here let me take that." I say with a smile on my face.

We sit down and distribute the contents on the table. Taking off the cap off my cappuccino and blow on it slightly, smelling the sweet scent of the coffee. I take a bite out of my croissant the warm chocolate melting in my mouth.
"Mmmm." Smiling with my mouth closed.
"Like it?" Cameron says laughing at my reaction.
I nod. "Ya I've never really had a chocolate croissant before, now I know I've been missing out." I take another bite of the croissant then took a sip of my coffee. After I gulped the last bit of it down I put the cap back on my cappuccino and sit back and relax. I stare at Cameron who was patiently eating his croissant with occasional sips of his steaming drink.

He is so cute, his hair, his eyes, his red lips and his amazing freckles. I can't believe I actually had this guy falling for me. I guess I'm not as hopeless as I thought I was. I was grinning.

Cameron finished his croissant and was talking, his voice distant.

"What?" I say coming out of thought.

"I said, you're smiling again." He says.

"Oh ya sorry, I was just thinking again." I say rubbing the back of my head.

"You do that a lot, at least you actually think most people don't anymore must be why this world is going to shit lately." Cameron says while casually sipping his coffee.

"Ya, and you know what else we do a lot?" I say.

"What?" Cameron says raising an eyebrow and putting down his cappuccino.

"Smile, we do it way to much. It's like our secret language or something. It's just like we are always doing it shouldn't our faces be hurting for that."
I say smiling, the irony of it.

"Ya I know haha, well I guess I'm just happier with you." Cameron says shrugging.

"Aw you." I say waving at him.

"Can I ask you something?" He says getting serious.

My heart sinks, what the hell why did he say that? I just sit there flabbergasted by the question.

"Um... Sure ask away." Nervously I answer.
"What's your real name?" He says slouching to get closer.

"My...my name?" I say.
"Yea what is it cause I heard you used a pen name?"
"Oh, ha well ya I use a pen name. And my name is actually Adrian not Aiden. Adrian Cantella. The first name isn't much of a change but the last name is."

Cameron just stares at me.

"Adrian Cantella, huh that's a really nice name. I like it. Can't wait to learn more about you right now." He says then takes a long sip of his coffee.

This boy makes me happy, please god let me keep him. That's all I want right now.
