Nat cleared his throat as the phone rang, waiting for Rob to pick up. Nat has been a pretty good actor, he if he was offered a part in a movie he would do really good but becoming a movie star wasn't in his plan of book yet.

“Yes Nat?”, Rob answered as he picked up his phone.

“Hey, Rob, you'll never believe it.”, Nat said, making his voice small and sickly. “I have strep throat. I can't make it to Florida and do the video.”

“Uh-huh.”, Rob said, obviously not believing him. “Nat, your a liar.”

“No I'm not.”, Nat said, coughing. “I'm really sick, I'll even have my mom tell you. I can't fly out there tomorrow, I'm sorry.”

“Why don't you tell me the real reason why your not coming?”, Rob asked. “Everything is being set up, Nat!”

“I know, I know.”, Nat said. “I'm sorry, but you can't make me, Rob. I'm laying here in bed sick as a dog and if you make me go out there sick, you can be in big trouble.”

Rob groaned hard, “Nat! You are costing me so much!”

“Don't be cheap, Rob.”, Nat said, coughing again. “Look, I promise to make the best damn video next week, but right now I can't. I wouldn't be able to even lip sync without coughing. I feel like I'm going to throw up and that wouldn't be good if I threw up all over the model, right?”

“If your career wasn't as good as it is now, I would have quit a long time ago.”, Rob sighed to himself and Nat rolled his eyes. “Nathaniel, your band and your ass better be in Miami next week or I’ll come over there and drag your ass down here onto that beach.”, he said and Nat opened his mouth to say something, but he heard the phone go silent and Nat realized he hung up.

Next day

Cam smiled as she she held her homecoming dress up against her and looked at herself in the mirror. It was a white strapless dress, it was sheath around her upper top so it wouldn't fall off, and the skirt was a little puffy. In the middle of the dress where her chest was a diamond shape jewelry. It was just beautiful. She had saved up her money until she got the sixty dollars for it and she was happy with her choice.

It was Saturday and it was coming.

She hadn't had the best week so she's hoping tonight at the homecoming will be fun and not have any drama. She had seen the sad look in Seth's eyes when she would see him in school but she hadn't said anything to him. He wouldn't go near her with Nat by her side, so they haven't spoken since last week. She felt guilty for hurting him.

Kim, poor, poor Kim. So sad over the breakup and hadn't been her spunky energetic self. She was sad and crying over her breakup with Chris and Cam felt so bad about being happy with Nat when she was around. She didn't want Kim to be sad, she wanted her to be happy so they all could be happy tonight and enjoy the dance.

…

“Cam, are you ready!”, her mom called and Cam took one look in the mirror. She had on her pretty white dress and toeless white pumps. Her red hair was in curls and her makeup was very natural with red lips and very pretty pearl earrings. She didn't look bad.

She was freaking nervous though.

She opened her room and her hands were sweating as she appeared at the top of the stairs where her mom, dad, and Nat was. Cam shyly smiled and placed her hands behind her back as they looked at her stunningly.

Her dad then turned his head to face Nat and hit Nat's back, “Keep your mouth closed.”

Cam chuckled and took a step down, “Okay, I know I look maybe a little to much, but—“, Cam cut herself off when she lost her balance half way down the steps and her parents and Nat reached out like they were going to grab her, but she got hold of the stair ledge quickly before she could roll down the stairs and never make it to the dance. She chuckled, “I'm A okay!”

Okay, so maybe Cam hadn't practiced where the heels she was wearing. Last time she wore heels was even she was practicing where the ones she had to wear for the dance competition in the summer and they were strappy. These could slip off anytime they wanted!

Cam's mom groaned and put her hand on her hip, “Don't scare me again, young lady.”

Cam gave her mom a 'shut up' look since she didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Nat. Ethan came out of the kitchen with some chips in his hand, took one look at her, and scuffed before walking passed her and went up to his room, obviously not caring. She rolled her eyes at her little brother before she turned to face Nat.

She smiled at him and hugged him, “You look pretty good.”

“You sound so surprised.”, he said, chuckling. Cam looked over Nat who had on a nice button shirt and dress pants and shiny black dress shoes. Nat hair was style kind of old fashioned, which made him looked very, very handsome. Nat could have been from the forties with his style. “Wow, Cam, you look—beautiful wouldn't even be the word to explain it.”, he said and she shyly smiled as he looked away, her face heating up.

“Aww, how cute.”, her mom said and Cam gave her the look again. She then wrapped her arms around Cam and hugged her tightly, “You're so beautiful, Cameron. How'd you get so big and beautiful? Obviously gets it from me.”

“Thanks mom.”, she said, chuckling.

Her mom brought her hands up to her face and shook it a little, “Oh, pictures! I need pictures!”, she said, running into the kitchen for a moment and Cam rolled her eyes.

“I want her back by eleven thirty.”, she heard her dad behind her and she turned to see her dad close to Nat so he could whisper it, but she easily heard him.

“Dad, you know everyone going to Jordan after party at his house. Please, until twelve.”, she said, pouting her lower lip and making her eyes bigger. “I promise we wont be a minute late.”

Her dad stared at her and pressed his lips together tightly, “Fine.”, he said and she smiled at him. He turned back to Nat and held his pointer finger up, “Her dress comes back anywhere different then how it is now, I kill you.”, he said and Cam gaped at him.

“Dad!”, she growled at him.

Her dad turned to her and smiled, cupped her face, and chuckled, “How beautiful you look, Cameron. All dressed up and look like Cinderella.”

“I'm not going to let that last comment you said to Nat slid so quickly.”, she said and he chuckled.

“Just like your mother.”, he said.

“Just like how?”, her mom asked as she walked in.

“Beautiful.”, he said, grinning at her and she glared at him for a second.

Cam went to Nat and groaned, “Ignore my dad blunt mouth.”, she said, wrapping her arm around his and smiled.

He smiled and leaned down to her ear to whispered, “He doesn't scare me to much.”, he said.

“What was that?”, her dad asked.

Nat cleared his throat and shrugged, “Nothing, Mr Collins.”

“Close together.”, her said excitedly.

Cam put both her hands on Nat's chest as he put his hands around her waist, holding her face to him. She felt warm in his arms, making her smile bigger as she looked at her mom fancy camera. Her mom snapped a few here and Cam couldn't help but chuckle.

“Oh, before I forget, my mom wants some to.”, he said, taking his phone out his phone and set his camera up. “She thought this will probably the only few time she'll see me do something school related and wants to remember it.”

“No problem.”, her mom said she took the phone and took some pictures of them.

Nat brought his arms up around her neck and kissed her on the forehead as she some pictures on both camera. Cam giggled, bring her hands around his waist as she looked up at him.

“Okay, enough before they start making out.”, her dad said and even Cam knew that was true with how close Nat was getting.

…

Nat pulled up to the school parking lot where a lot of people were hanging outside and Cam could hear music from instead. She smiled excitedly at Nat since this was her first high school dance she would go to with someone actually. Last year she had gone to the homecoming but she was Chris's and Kim third wheel and she was lonely most of the night which is why she hadn't gone to the others.

But this year, she had a boyfriend. Sure, she was suppose to go with Seth, but she was really happy she could go with Nat. Almost unreal.

“Wait.”, Nat said when she put her hand on to the knob of his door. She gave him a confused look and he took her hand, “Come here first.”, he grinned at her and she blushed hard as he pulled her closer to him and cupped her face.

“Nat, someone could see.”, she said hesitantly.

“Just kiss me.”, he said, placing his lips softly on hers and she wrapped one arm around his mouth. They kissed his car for a few moment where someone could walk passed and noticed them probably. The thought made her blush since she wasn't a big fan of PDA. “Hmm, okay, now I can go in.”, he said as he pulled away and she couldn't help but giggle at him when she noticed her lip stick had gone on him a little.

She brought her hand up to her mouth and touched her own lips, “Sorry, my lipstick kind of cheap.”

His eyebrows came together and he looked into his mirror, his eyes widen, and with the back of his hand he tried to smear the lipstick away.
