Chapter 17
{Your Point Of Veiw}
"Autumn? You tryna get destroyed in Call Of Duty," I ask with a playful smirk.
"Nah, Im busy", she replies while typing away on her phone.
"Ughhhhhh, C'mon, Lana can do without you for a few minutes," I groan.
"Ok, but I cant go without her," Autumn giggles.
"This is so gross, I literally cant even", I say.
"You're just jealous that you're single," Autumn says.
"Ok, Fuck you, second, I dont do relationships", I say.
"I will remind you of that, on your wedding day, after you and Camila officially get married", She smirks.
"I-I dont know what you're talking about... I dont like her like that," I say.
"I saw you Y/n! The day she ignored you back at the store, you looked like a depressed puppy", Autumn says.
"So? Maybe I want a freind," I say.
"Nah, I doubt it. You have been fine with Romeo and I for as long as I can remember", she says.
Im about to reply when I hear a knock on the door.
"This is not over", I say before walking to the door.
I open the door and my mouth falls agape.
"Camila," I ask in shock.
"Hi", she smiles nervously.
"Uh, how can I help you," I ask.
"Can we talk", she asks hopefully.
"I thought you wanted me to stay away from you", I smirk.
"Im sorry... Its just that I got scared," she says.
I furrow my eyebrows.
"Why dont we go somewhere more private," I suggest.
Camila nods and we walk to a small park behind my place. We sit on an old wooden bench, enjoying the cool air.
"So, that night, after dinner", she starts.
"Yeah", I say awkwardly.
"The reason I have been ignoring you is because.... that night I started to question if I am as straight as I thought I was. That scares the hell out of me because, well, I dont think I like boys at all," she says.
"What about Austin", I ask.
"I am terrified of coming out, I cant do it! My parents can never, find out. Of course I wanna find out what its like to be with a girl, but in this small town, its too risky. So, I went on a date with Austin, so nobody would think anything is up with me," she answers.
"Well, you said you wanna know what its like to be with a girl, did you have a girl in mind," I ask.
"I do... But she cant give me what I want from her," she says sadly.
"And what do you want from her," I ask.
"I want her heart. Even though I can tell its broken, I want to peice together the broken shards," she says.
"Thats sweet", I say.
For some reason I felt my chest tighten. Hearing she has her eye on someone. At least she doesn't wanna be with Austin, he's a chip.
"But, I really want you to know that im sorry", she says.
"You really apologize alot," I giggle.
"Its just, I feel bad for ignoring you. Especially because, I was hoping that we could-- I dont know-- maybe be freinds," she speaks in a shy tone.
I giggle at her cutness and place my hand on top of hers.
"Of course we can be freinds", I say genuinely.
Her eyes light up with excitement and I wonder what exactly is going on in her head.
"So, since we are officially buddies, what's going on with you and Normani", she smirks.
"Well um.. Normani is nice and all but, she isn't the one, I feel i could settle down with," I say.
"So you feel that you could potentially settle down with someone", Camila asks.
"I- Well- um its k-"
"Oh hey Y/n", Normani's voice interrupts my awkward stuttering.
I look over at Camila who is blushing slightly while giving Normani a freindly smile.
"Hello Ms.Kordei," I say.
her smile faulters for a moment at my formality.
"I came by to ask if you wanted to grab lunch", she says with a glint of hope in her voice.
I mentally groan.
"Normani, I thought you understood", I say lowly.
"I know its just- Can we talk? In private," she asks.
"Anything you have to say to me, you can say in front of my new freind", I smile at the Cuban who looks at me with admiration.
Normani exhales loudly in annoyance.
"I know we were supposed to just be messing around. I know me being Romeo's teacher complicates things. But I cant stay away from you! I think... I think I have feelings for you," she says.
My heartbreaks for her because I dont like getting anyones feelings involved with me.
I get up and give her a hug.
"Normani, it kills me to do this, but im sorry. You are an amazing, smart, and sweet woman. You deserve someone to love you beyond your wildest imagination. Unfortunately, Im not in a place in my life where I can do that," I say.
"Then I will wait for you", a tear slips from her eyes.
"Dont. You deserve better than me. Please dont cry, I hate to be the cause of your tears," I say.
Normani looks at me with pleading eyes, making me feel terrible about this situation. Then she gives me a weak and sad smile before walking away.
I sigh and sink back onto the wooden chair next to a pretty uncomfortable Camila.
I grab her hand and give it a slight squeeze.
"Can you help me with something", I ask.
"Anything", she smiles innocently.
"I need to feel less shitty than I do now... Wanna grab some coffee with me", I ask.
She bites her lip while her eyes scan my face causing my cheeks to feel warm.
"Lets go," she finally says.
