SHAYLA'S P.O.V
"Stanley." I exclaimed in surprise and horror, the delicious sensation of Cameron's body against mine slowly slipping through my fingers like sand at the sight of Stan.
"Shayla?"
"...You're the friend Cameron invited here."
"Yes."
I bit back my tongue, trying hard to not explode. I could feel the storm of emotions surging within me - demanding to be let out.
"Good," I spoke up breathily, feeling Stan's eyes on me,"En

No.For the first time in m

SHAYLA'S P.O.VMy OMG-I-KISSED-CAM fever was, like most of the things, popping up in my head, over & over again – due to my overthinking trait, which was very dominant, much to my dismay.Bryan & Caira had assured me that the kiss won't ruin things between us and that I had no need to freak out so much and think of commitment right away.But what they had failed to understand was that I was scared of the dangerous feelings that had unfurled in my ribcage a

THIRD PERSON'S P.O.VThere were plenty of ways to cure a hangover, and Bryan was familiar with a few of them -- thanks to his mad partying skills. However, none of them included an early morning wake up call.Someone was pounding on the door of his hotel room, and he certainly wasn't too pleased about it. With his bitch of a hangover, a body cracked in pain, a hundred creases on his designer shirt, and something sticky on his hair that made him let out a sigh of disgust -- he was in no mood to greet the blinding light of the day and whoever it was at the door. But when an arm settled on his torso and the fingers brushed against his -- all his sleepiness had disappeared faster than one could say shit.

CAMERON'S P.O.VThe rain played an orchestra of beats against the cemented roads surrounding the mansion. Shayla had been right, the rain here wasn't sweet or melodic, instead it had been just the relentless and gut wrenching rhapsody I had wished to observe, sending chills down my spine. Bryan had told me that this rainfall was relatively better than that of the other days. I had smiled.The only thing that was so goddamn awful about this weather was the humidity. Literally every day was a very, surely bad hair day for me, leading me to tie up my curls (which were turning frizzy) into a man bun. Shayla had grinned, trailed a finger down my jaw, kissed me on the cheek, and whispered,

CAMERON'S P.O.VThis was going to be a long, long night."I am absolutely exhausted," Shayla muttered and I didn't miss the brief side eye glance she threw my way,"Where can I crash, Easton?""Wait, this is a sleepover?" Bryan inquired,"But I didn't bring my comfort clothes and comfort blankets! I will have to go back to home, knowing that you all are enjoying this adult sleepover!""Don't worry," Shayla shrugged,"I brought yours.""Ugh, if only you hadn't brought his clothes," Mille wondered,"I would have been able t

One Year Later.SHAYLA'S P.O.V"What! I told you not to disturb me — I am workin—" But the words dried up at the tip of my tongue when I pulled open the door of my bedroom after incessant knocking from an annoying mood-breaker. Because oh bloody hell.I wasn't expecting to see Cameron.Cameron. My Cameron. Who was supposed to be in Los Angeles for some interview, was standing right in front of me, at the door of my bedroom. I blinked not once, but thrice to make sure that it was really Cameron. When he broke into a smile at my sight, I realized that he was not some caffeine-induced hallucination my brain was concocting. He was real, and most importantly, he was right here, with me."Oh my God," I exclaimed, my hands flying to my mouth as I gaped at him in disbelief. "You are here! But you said you couldn—""I missed you too much," He said, and then swooped in for a kiss, snaking his hands to my back and taking the opportunity to push me further against himself. I melted under his touc
