Escalante

    The scavenger hunt came through at the end. After Val had a fight with someone they called Ian Shmuck, who almost made us do the SVG competition, Val apologized and asked for the scavenger hunt instead. I found out there were four campers that made the big decisions in the camp before presenting them to the officials. Val and Ian were two of them and surprisingly, Patrick the tranny was another.

    It was a new day and we were gathered in front of the stage they had on the camp. Ariesa and Jasper were on it and while Ariesa was trying to calm the campers down, Jasper was flirting with my sister. I tried my best to ignore it because even though Jacinta and I weren't tight, she was still my sister and Jasper was bad business.

"Who are you staring at with such hate?" Preston asked, looking up from his phone and smiling at me.

"The dude beside Ariesa likes my sister but I don't like him."

"Oh. Then he's safe because I would murder him if you did." He said, narrowing his eyes at Jasper making me smile.

    Last night, during another pool session with Preston, I had mentioned the cabin competition and he allowed me to go ahead with it. I knew he wasn't okay with it because he definitely looked like he wasn't so it had me thinking. What was 20 dollars compared to Preston? Right now, he was my 'everything' and I wanted it to be like that as long as it could.

Snaking an arm around his waist, I kissed him behind his ear and said quietly, "Don't worry. I don't think you have to worry about that anymore. I think I want to dedicate the rest of my days on the camp to you."

"Seriously?" His blue eyes grew wider than it ever had and he blushed when I nodded in reply. He didn't say anything after and just leaned his head on my shoulder.

    Ariesa started the scavenger hunt, making us pick teams and after everything was done, Preston and I fell in the same team.

"The game is simple." Ariesa started "The first team to find most of the items on the list gets to be the winner. As you all know, we are only doing this to get you into teams for the actual competitions. To actually participate in this game, you must have signed up for at least one activities. Please make sure you have unless the team will be disqualified, leaving the other the winner and that's no fun.

"Jasper will give each team six copies of the list and a map of the radius the items are located. You have no permission to leave the camp except it's within the radius. Try to stick to the rules." She said as Jasper and his other red shirt friends handed the copies out.

     There weren't a lot of people on my team but it was enough to call a crowd. Jasper handed me one and I gave him a fake smile. It fell the instance I saw my sister walk up to him and he kissed her right on the lip. Again, bad vibes were screaming from him.

Smiling at my sister, I let go of Preston and pulled her away from Jasper. It wasn't exactly far but I knew he couldn't hear us because of the crowd. "What are you doing kissing him?"

"He's hot. I like him. Put those two together and there you go." She rolled her eyes at me and I frowned.

"Don't tell me you've had sex?" I said flatly.

She rose a neat brow at me and said, "Well since you are not asking," She shrugged and was ready to walk out on me but I pulled her back by her shoulder, earning a deadly glare from her.

     Good thing looks can't kill.

     Dropping my defense, I knew the only time she would listen to me was when I wasn't going to be aggressive or snap back at her snarky comments. I sighed and said, "I don't think Jasper is good for you."

Jacinta rolled her eyes at me then looked over my shoulder, probably at Preston then said, "And I don't like the dude you are with. Now are we done with this conversation?"

"Hell no. What's wrong with Preston? He's cute."

"And Jasper is beautiful and sexy. More reasons for me to be with him. Besides, Preston looks like he's hiding something from you." She folded her arms over her chest, still looking over my shoulder at Preston.

"He can't be. I just told him I would forfeit my perverted fantasy for him." I frowned and glanced over my shoulder to see him typing away in his phone. When he managed to look up, he found me and smiled at me making me believe that my sister was lying, probably to piss me off.

     Looking back at her, she rose a brow in question and I shook my head, "I don't see it. He looks cute and innocent."

"If you say so." She shrugged with a sigh, running a hand through her hair. Her face suddenly brightened as if remembering something and she said, "Tell me, have you gotten with Carlo yet?"

"Carlo, my best friend or some random dude Carlo?"

"Carlo, your best friend, meidoso. Have you had sex with him yet?"

My eyes widened and she laughed at my clearly alarmed face. How could she insinuate something like that? "What the...? Why would I want to sleep with Carlo? He's like my brother. If I have sex with him, it would feel like incest."

"That's what you think." She waggled her brows at me playfully but I wasn't taking it as a joke. How could she think I would want to have sex with Carlo? Sure he's hot and has the best ass I have ever seen and maybe I have thought of doing stuffs to him at a younger time of my life but that was then. Now, he was like my brother from another mother.

Jacinta continued to waggle her brows at me but I managed to ignore it and said, "I will watch Preston if you watch Jasper. Don't let him get into your little whites." I knew telling her that would piss her off. She hated when I say it so the moment I did, I ran back to Preston before she could react and said, "Come on baby, the items aren't going to find themselves."

    We have been doing this for almost half the day and I had a feeling we were lost but I wasn't going to say anything because Preston was the one leading the way. We had left camp grounds to search the woods that were within the radius. Preston had this strong feeling they wouldn't add it in the map if they didn't put anything there but I disagreed. However, I didn't tell him that out loud because I loved how he was taking charge. It was definitely turning me on with the way he was telling me what to do and where to go. I was seriously fighting the urge to just take him right then.

    We jumped over a fallen tree when he said, "That reminds me. I wanted to thank you for signing up for the swimming competition with me."

"Oh, it's okay. I came to this camp to be an active person and what other way to do it than volunteering for a sport." I said then sneezed when I smelt something funny.

     Preston was in front of me, leading the way and I was behind him, enjoying the view off his ass and struggling to catch up to him. He threw a smile my way before saying, "On the topic of volunteering, I got my complete 10hrs so I was wondering if you were free, you could follow me into town?"

I stopped moving and stared at his back. He probably mustn't have heard me moving so he stopped and turned to me. "If you don't want to come, I could just get someone-"

"No." I cut him off, slowly walking closer to him, "Christ, I would love to follow you to town." I was simply shocked and yet deeply flattered that he would pick me. I was almost speechless even.

"Good. When would you like to leave? They have Tuesday and Thursday free." He said, fondling with the paper in his hand as if he was nervous to ask me out.

     It only made me find him a lot cuter. Was this what he was hiding that made my sister find him suspicious? "Thursday would be great. Say, how long have you wanted to ask me?"

He exhaled in relief then looked away and smiled, "Since last Friday. I completed it then and thought it would be great to take you out. I was really nervous about asking you."

     Just seeing him looking so flustered about something like that, urged me so badly to hug the life right out of him for being so adorable. Instead of doing all that, I decided to kissed him before he could say anything else to make me lose my nuts about him.

He moaned into the kiss when I pushed him against the tree, kissing him deeper to show how much I appreciated the invitation. I was so happy to have him in my arms but when I pulled away to kiss his forehead, I saw Carlo instead and it made me frown.

"Escalante?" Carlo slowly started to look like Preston and he stared at me worriedly.

     Cursing under my breath, I took a mental note to stab my sister whenever I saw her for making me put that kind of image in my head. I didn't like Carlo at all and when we kissed that day, it meant nothing. I felt nothing...I think.

     Clearing my throat, I looked around, realizing I had no idea how far from camp I was causing me to sigh and say, "I'm sorry I ruined the moment."

Looking away to hide his beet red face, he said, "No, it's fine. I'm just happy you agreed to go out with me."

I smiled, "Let's find at least one item before we call it a day."

"Yeah."
