Cameron spins me around once again after dancing for about an hour and dips me to the end of the song. I come back up laughing because I was honestly enjoying myself. And with a cute guy! The best part is that he seems to like me, too.

And, even though I know that Aiden is watching me, I couldn't help but wish that he would stop worrying about me.
542Please respect copyright.PENANA9gIstdit2r
I mean, we are at a party. He should be enjoying himself! With that Darcy girl..
542Please respect copyright.PENANA2ofQgt77Q3
Bleh. Even thinking about her makes my stomach twist in knots. I don't like her, for whatever reason, but Aiden does so I have to be okay with it.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAxUgTCZg08y
"Are you having fun?" Cameron asks as he pulls me close.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Vd42x7w3
I nod up at him with a huge smile on my face because, honestly, I really was having fun.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAEOvOiFDbKo
"I'd like to see you again after tonight." Cameron says to me.
542Please respect copyright.PENANANDTjKMbdbf
"Really?" I ask, just to make sure.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAJYxf76idrm
"Definitely." He smirks down at me. "What are you doing tomorrow?"
542Please respect copyright.PENANA2yA8X8xF0j
I freeze for a second but recover before he could since anything was wrong.
542Please respect copyright.PENANACorRtkZsOS
"Um, actually, I'm busy all day tomorrow until around dusk. But, I can meet you at the park around eight tomorrow night if you were wanting to hang out." I tell him, hoping he wouldn't question me being busy.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAWzFtkiojXc
He smiles as he nods his head. "That'll be great. Maybe we can go see a movie."
542Please respect copyright.PENANAAEssqNcbj4
"Okay!" I agree quickly, having never been to a movie theater before.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAHehzIYm0dS
I used to ask my parents, when I was a child, but my parents said it was dangerous to leave our home. I didn't understand then but I did when the witch cursed me.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ2lZbwujX
After a few more dances, Cameron leans down toward my ear so that I can hear him better.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAIZIqOaP6QF
"I can't wait to see you tomorrow. And hopefully I'll see you before you leave tonight, but I have to get back to help pour drunk people some more drinks." He chuckles.
542Please respect copyright.PENANA9KdwWtetgO
I smile back at him and nod. "Okay, I have to find my friend anyway. So, I'll see ya!"
542Please respect copyright.PENANAqAdZFVSLwJ
"See ya."
542Please respect copyright.PENANASL21RJkywO
He turns away and I look around the room for Aiden. He was standing around talking to some girl. I walk toward them, but not too close because I didn't want to ruin his mojo. I stopped when I noticed it wasn't just some girl.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAbSn8o28ew3
I was about to walk up to them but then I heard them having a very heated conversation. Although, i know it's wrong, I listen in on there conversation.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAuMsLUqG0nU
"You have to tell her you like her, Aiden. Before it's too late. Do you want to miss your chance? Who knows, which I'm pretty sure I do, she might actually like you back!"
542Please respect copyright.PENANA2znfawMoc6
Aiden shakes his head. "Just drop it, Kels. Okay? She's my best friend. I don't want to take the chance and ruin that." He argues. "If she doesn't feel the same... Let's just say, I'd rather just be her friend than nothing at all.. Besides, I told Bambina I would help her, so that's what I'm going to do."
542Please respect copyright.PENANADYdfklmelo
I don't know why, but it pained me to know that he was hurting this bad over Darcy. He once told me him and Darcy had gotten to become good friends in that month we didn't speak. Maybe he had fallen in love with her.
542Please respect copyright.PENANANE86jA1Vjy
After deciding I've heard enough, I cut in.
542Please respect copyright.PENANA1mvOHDI6Nj
"Kelsie!" I scream over the music.
542Please respect copyright.PENANALpjT9A31F1
She turns around and screams, holding out her arms toward me. I give her a hug before glancing up at Aiden.
542Please respect copyright.PENANA0sYRm9Td5p
He wouldn't look at me for a few seconds before he finally gives me a big smile. He looked like he was trying to recollect his feelings so that I wouldn't notice anything.
542Please respect copyright.PENANApQy6CQT3bh
I mean, he obviously told Kelsie, but hasn't told me yet. So I'll act like I never knew. He can tell me when he feels he can. He's probably too worried about me and my curse to add to my drama. Maybe I should tell him he doesn't have to help anymore if he doesn't want to. I don't want to be the one to hold him back from the girl he's falling for.
542Please respect copyright.PENANArr2gI0mSDB
"Did you like him?" Aiden asks winking at me, making my heart stutter.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAIsZ6I18zrH
I shrug. "He seemed okay. I'm meeting him at the park tomorrow night so, we'll see."
542Please respect copyright.PENANA6R4Ctstvum
His eyes darken as his jaw clenches but only for a split second before he masks it with a chuckle.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAzEEo3Ke8yu
He pushes my hair from my face and tucks it behind my ear, causing goosebumps to rise everywhere he touches. I feel my face heat up causing him to wink down at me.
542Please respect copyright.PENANAmg5jsUapV0
"It'll be great, Bambi. He's a good guy. You'll really like him."
542Please respect copyright.PENANAzoJkm9wrMd
But, I was no longer listening. I couldn't help but study Aiden. The way hits plump lips look when he's smirking down at me. The way his eyes are brighter than usual and captivating. His dark hair messily styled on his head. If I didn't know he spent half an hour making it 'just right' I would say he just woke up like that. I always thought that Aiden was attractive, not that I'd tell him that, but now I was looking at him in a whole different light. And, even worse....
542Please respect copyright.PENANAYj2jji7Y5z
Now I know why I don't like Darcy. It's because I'm jealous that Aiden likes her, and......
542Please respect copyright.PENANAU9Sw0OV9Mf
Oh, my King Tritan...
542Please respect copyright.PENANA7xME0xKLPN
I like Aiden!
