Furious kiss

I walk over to Cam's house after exiting Devika's. I had just arrived when the maid informed me of Cam's absence. "I'll wait".

The maid offers me a glass of orange juice as I sit in the balcony waiting for Cam's arrival. I waited for what seemed to be an hour but he hadn't come home yet, I was starting to get exhausted and I left for my house.

Mom welcomes me home with a kiss on my cheek and a plate of waffles and syrup.

I carry my lunch up with me to my room, shutting the door behind me, I place the plate of waffles on the bed side table and get undressed. I get my things ready to shower and I exit the room.

I lay in the tub staring into nothingness as I kept thinking of Cam. I was itching to call him. I roll my eyes at the thought of Marina and then I stretch my hand to reach my phone. I glide through it to my boomplay, putting one of my favorites, one I love to listen to when I'm sad. Songs by Billie Eilish always worked the magic. I drop my phone back in it's former position as I joined to sing the lyrics of the song Idon'twannnabeyou. I shut my eyes and try to que into the song for better relaxation. I step out of the tub an hour later and walk into my room.

I get my hair blown out and then I comb it and pack it up in a messy bun, sliding into my white shorts and my yellow floral camisole. I pick up the plate of waffles that I abandoned on the table couple of hours ago, it had already gone cold and I detest cold food. I get Gayle to microwave it and bring it back to me, which she does in 10 minutes. I settle to eat my waffles while dialing Cameron's number, hoping he'd pick up. After several attempts with no answer, I give up and decide to pay him a visit once more.

"Just in time baby, settle please. We were about having supper". His mom says.

"Ma'am, I appreciate".

"I see you two aren't talking. What's wrong?"

"Mom, we got into a fight. I was at fault and Cameron hasn't spoken to me ever since and he doesn't even want to see me. What's his attitude being like these past few days?"

"I don't know what the fight is all about but it's taking a huge toll on him. He's changing. Moody, sad, over reacting and lonely these past few days but he wouldn't tell what's up".

"I'm so sorry ma'am for being the cause of his state, I swear I'm so sorry".

"There'll be no need telling it to me. I'm not mad at you. I just think you two love each other deeply. When you're in love, you feel everything should go smooth and be rosy? No honey, love isn't that sweet, it has the most pains but it's sweet when you're with the right person. If you truly love him, you wouldn't let him just go when he says it's over. If you love someone else, give him a chance to be happy". *Sighs* "I'm sure you know what to do. He's at the back".

"I came to apologize". I say and she gives me a questioning look before telling me to do what's right using eye contact. "Right". I say and scamper away.

"Poor girl". She says and scoffs.

*At the backyard*

I walk into the backyard almost in a hurry and then I stop in my tracks. His back was facing me, his hands in his pocket as he was staring into nothingness. I felt nervous and a surge of guilt overwhelmed me. I wasn't sure of how to face him. I bend my head low as I head towards him in slow steps, biting my lower lip. A lot of shit was going crazy in my head. 'Cameron I'm sorry'. No no no....'How have you been?'....no no no. 'Like the view huh?'.....no no no. 'Hey'.

I didn't know what exactly to say to him. I halt beside him, shuffling my feet on the floor, my blood felt hot, I was suddenly starting to feel very hot.

"I'm...." I was still on the words when I fainted.

********************************

"Hey, how are you?"

"Look, she's already opening her eyes!"

"She's gonna be fine"

"I've to attend to another patient".

I was hearing voices and the place looked blurry in my eyes. I saw Cameron...I was feeling a bit dizzy so I shut my eyes, opening them seconds later, my vision had gone back to normal...clear. Beside me sat Cameron on the bed peeking down at me.

I adjust and sit up on the bed, my heart almost skipping a beat. I tried to talk but he put his index finger on my lip and kept staring at me with hurt in his eyes. I really don't know how I got here or what I'm doing here, but that didn't matter to me at all. All that mattered was that Cameron was here beside me on the bed. I gently take out his hand from my lips.

"But-" I was about to talk when he put his index finger on my lips staring at me with rage and fury. I was starting to cry, hot tears escaped my eyes, drawing a firm line as it rolled down my cheeks and then he did the unexpected. He grabbed my face forward and kissed me hard....not passionately though, I couldn't breathe and I was feeling a bit uncomfortable. He kissed me hard for another couple of seconds before pulling out. I cried out my pains and he stared at me in anger, wiping his lips before storming out of the room. I watched him leave the room with tears in my eyes, he didn't even look back at me. That was the most painful punishment I've ever gotten. I burst out in tears after he left the room and his mom barges in right away comforting me. Mom, Devika and Jed also walks in. I looked up at Devika with red eyes, I was so heart broken, I couldn't even stare back at Jed who was staring at me. Cameron's mom paves way for Devika and she snakes her arm around my neck as I cried my eyes out on her chest, stroking my hair, she kissed me on my hair, her chin resting on the top of my head. I felt Jed come closer to hug me but she dismissed him politely using eye contact.

"I'm so sorry, Stacey". Jed says.

I wipe my tears away. Devika looks at me and reassures me that it'll be fine.

"Mamà". I say as mom steps forward and holds my hand.

"How are you?" She says.

"Fine. I want to go home màmà". I say.

She pulls me into a warm hug telling me I've to stay a bit longer while waiting on the doctor to discharge me.

Jed gives me some snacks he got me. Cameron's mother returns couple of minutes later with two white plastic bags in both hands.

She hands them over to me stating that Cameron got them for me and couldn't bring it himself as he had a project working on so he asked her to bring it to me instead. I smile at her. "Gracias màmà". I say as she puts down the bag on the bedside table.

I stare at the ceiling as a tear drop escapes my eyes. 'Did he really have a project to work on or was he avoiding me because he couldn't face me?' I thought. I must've been a very bad person to affect his mental health. I couldn't even face him either. Either way, I have to apologize to him and get him to be in his good graces, he's already a mess because of me.
