It's a new life for me,

And I'm feeling good.

Chapter 8
Skylar Jones

"From all the choices you could make, you're choosing to go for shopping?" I heard Cam ask, but didn't really pay any attention towards him as I looked at the shelf with Nike shoes.

I always bought a new pair of shoes after two weeks and I know that it sounded like a lot, but you can't blame me for buying new shoes! They literally scream at me, I can't just leave it there and let someone else buy them!

"Please, hurry up! I'm hungry and want to get some food" He complained further and I kept ignoring it.

My eyes fell on a pair of sunglasses, they were pilot green and had those circle-ish glasses. My eyes widened instantly when I saw them and I hurried toward them.

I grabbed it, put the sunglasses on my nose while I turned around with a big smile and looked at an annoyed Cam.

"Well, I definitely know one thing about you now" He said and I waited for him to continue.

"You're one of those shopaholic guys and I tell you, those are rare" He sighed and looked at me.

"Those glasses look good on you though" He complimented.

Wait a second, a compliment? He gave me a compliment? THE CAM ASHER GAVE ME, SKYLAR JONES A COMPLIMENT? I DID IT!

"So Cam Asher finally decided to be nice?" I tried to say casually, but couldn't hide the biggest smirk on earth that was plastered on my face.

"Shut up, before I regret it" He said and rolled his eyes.

"Funny, today is Valentine's Day. Everyone around here are couples who are walking with either chocolate or a bear. Yet we are spending this day together" I pointed out.

"Well, then I guess you are my Valentine today"

"Yeah I guess.." I let out a soft laugh at that joke, but still couldn't help and blush a bit.

I took the glasses off to look at the price. And my laugh turned into a frown when I saw that I could never afford it, not even in a thousands years. They're too expensive.

After my dad died, my mom and I had to do everything on our own and that's also why I couldn't buy a lot of stuff anymore, there were some days that we didn't even had something to eat for diner.

We only had to live from the money that our dad left us. My mom quit with her work, because she wanted to be there for me. Of course I told her not to do that, but she didn't listen to me like probably all mothers would do.

I sighed and was about to put them back down until Cam interrupted me.

"What's the matter?" He asked confused and frowned in a cute way.

"They're too expensive, I could never buy them" I complained like a baby about it.

I went back to put them down and walked towards Cam who shot a questionable look at me. He walked with me towards the exit, but I saw him looking back into the store.

"Is there anything?" I asked to be sure.

"No" He simply answered and we continued walking.

He walked towards a random shop so I just followed him. I actually thought he would have wanted to eat now.

"No, wait here okay?" He said and softly touched my chest to stop me from walking which made my chest feel all warm and tingly.

"W-What why?" I stuttered, because of the feeling from his touch.

"Just wait" He said and hurried inside the unknown store.

After waiting for five minutes Cam came back with what seemed to be a red rose. He seemed a bit nervous since his hands were slightly shaking.

"Happy Valentine's Day" He smiled and seemed to be genuine this time as he put the sweet smelling rose into my hair.

"W-what?" I frowned confused.

"You looked so upset about the sunglasses so I thought maybe this would cheer you up? You are my Valentine today right" He muttered and shrugged in the cutest boyish way you could imagine.

My heart warmed at that and I couldn't deny the fuzzy feeling even though the Valentine thing was a joke. This was the nicest thing Cam had ever done for me and I wasn't even asking for it. It was all him. Maybe after all, Cam wasn't that bad.

We sat in front of each other at a table near the window. My eyes only became bigger and bigger when I looked at my angel, my beautiful love and husband;

The burger of course, duh.

I didn't wait for Cam and I already took a huge bite of my hamburger. I honestly didn't care about all the people around me, because why would I? It's not like I'm a model or that I have to impress anyone or something.

Food is more important than boys, I'll tell you that!

Cam laughed at me and I almost thought that he was about to die from laughter. I looked at him with my mouth full while raising an eyebrow at him.

"You don't have to eat that burger in one bite!" Cam said surprised at my eat abilities, oh he's soooo jealous!

"Woh? I'm hoengry" I talked still with food in my mouth.

"It looks so funny when you talk with your mouth full" He said laughing.

"Oh, you like it that way?" I teased him.

I mentally gave myself a high five when I saw him slightly blushing and being all shy and uncomfortable. It looked so adorable on him. I loved how I could make him blush with a stupid joke like that.

"Shut up" He muttered and finally started with his food.

You would think that an athlete like him ate fast and definitely a lot, but somehow he managed to command the staff here to make him a salad in a fast food restaurant. He is not even a fast eater.

A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT.

I took another big bite of my burger, but that wasn't such a good idea. I started to choke on my burger and couched pretty loudly, but it didn't really help me.

I felt two warm hands cupping my cheeks and for a second I forgot that I was on the edge of dying as I felt butterflies erupting into my stomach.

"Sky!" I heard Cam scream and he tried to slap my back in the hope that my burger wouldn't choke me to death.

I felt everything around me getting heated and my head felt a bit lighter than usual.

"Skylar, here drink!" He yelled in panic and gave me some water which luckily did help.

"Thanks" I finally said out of breath.

"Hey, look at me" He said while he still held my cheeks what made me look at him.

"Are you okay Sky?" He asked with a tone that I never ever heard in his voice.

I didn't dare to say anything so I just nodded while looking dumbfounded at him. He almost looked,

Worried..?

"Are you sure Skylar?" He asked me for the millionth time.

"Yes Cam, calm down now" I said almost laughing at how cute he looked like right now.

"Damn, you scared the living hell out of me" He muttered under his breath and went back to his seat.

I decided to take it easy on my food before I really would die this time. We still sat in front of each other while we silently ate our food.

"You wanted to know each other right? How about we ask each other some questions, you start" He offered slowly.

"Okay, why aren't you just eating something unhealthy here?" I asked confused, because it has been bothering me since.

"I don't know, I honestly feel better when I just eat healthy food and I haven't had such a good lifestyle before, it helps me a lot with basketball though" He explained.

Wait, he also plays basketball?

"My turn, why did you move to this country?" He asked.

Oh snap.. I knew this question was about to come.

"My father.. He uh, passed away" I explained shortly.

Of course I left out the part about the money and wealth. We moved here so we could afford a place. Our old house was too expensive.

"Favorite color?" I asked then.

"Blue"

"Favorite band?"

"Twenty one pilots"

"Cool, me too. What are you afraid of?"

"Nothing"

I snorted at that. Of course he would say that.

"Is that your natural hair color?" He asked me.

"Sadly, yes"

"No I like it. It looks so unreal and different. Any girls at the moment?"

"No"

"So, is everything okay between us?" He asked.

"Yes, of course" I immediately agreed and never doubted on my answer.

For a second I saw him looking at his phone, he put it away and looked back at me.

"Well if you will excuse me, I'm leaving now" He said and smiled weird. He stood up and walked out of the restaurant, leaving me confused and quiet disappointed in my seat.

"Well Happy Valentine's Day, Sky.." I muttered to myself as I sunk down in my seat.
