Cleo's P.O.V.

*Alright, I'll tell you everything when I get home mother.* I reply to my mom's text. Honestly, how did she find out that I got married? I married? I laugh at the sound of that making the guy look at me. I smile at him and look out the window.

This awkward silence here is getting on my nerves. I feel like this is all a trap. Like the plans to get me into bed and fuck me till there is no more me left.

I don't know where we are going. I don't want to ask him because that would just be weird. I don't know him, yet I'm sitting in his car like everything is normal. This is not normal, it's unusual.

Do we slow down in front of a hotel? What are we doing at a hotel? Okay, I'm just gonna act cool and not say anything stupid. I'm confused what are we doing here though. He must not know where to go to because now he is just staring at me as if asking me to start a conversation.

"Uhm..." I say awkwardly. "What was that about?" I ask looking away from him hoping that he would look away from me but I feel his burning gaze on me.

"What was what about?" He asks innocently making me look like a dumbass.

"Why did you just propose to me?"

"Why did you say yes."

"I didn't want to embarrass you by saying n," I say honestly, I would'vegone with touché but if I'm gonna marry him, should be honest and he should be honest.

What the hell is wrong with me? I will not marry this guy, nor will I ever see him after today ends. Oh, but you will since he is a regular customer at Sunrise Roast. My subconscious reminds me. This little talks we're having here about this proposal shit won't last long.

"Well, even if you did say no, I wouldn't be embarrassed, because, lot's of people say no to proposals because it's either too early or they don't love the other person...." He starts and catches his breath. "I'm not saying you love me though, but the other way around."

I flush at his statement and look away. How can he love me? He probably saw me around Sunrise Roast multiple times but I never saw him, I'm sure Kenzie knows a few things about him since she always gets guys attention and she probably stalked him on Facebook or something. "I already saw that blush... That blush?! Woah, I made you blush. This is amazing, look even if you say I should leave the proposal and all this shit alone, I won't leave you. Do you believe in 'love at first say'?"

Love at first sight? I'm not familiar with that. I always thought lov, at first sight,t,t is when you look at someone and they're beautiful and sexy that you want him/her because of their bodies.

If he wants me for my body (which I know for a fact is not that pleasant) I will not take him in to meet my mother. Nor will he meet my brother. I'm just saying, he should love me for me but how can he do that if he knows nothing about me.

"No, I don't believe in that. I'm not familiar with it anyways." I connect my gaze with his. His beautiful brown eyes are enough for me to fall for him. But not only that.

"Love at first sight has nothing to do with good looks. If love were dependent on good looks, then we would all fall in love every time we walked down the street and saw good looking people. By the time we'd get home, we'd have fallen in love multiple times."

"The real secret behind why we fall in love, at first sight, its because something in the way this particular person happens to the look has triggered a comparison in our subconscious mind to someone from our past who meant a lot to us. This is why I, for example, might fall in love with you at first sight, while you might think I am just average." He says in one breath. Wow, he looks so hot when he explains stuff like that.

"Well, for starters. I don't think you're average." I say, but you do think him an average hot. My subconscious reminds me but I ignore her or I try to. "Are you saying you, fell in love, with me at first sight? At Sunrise Roast?" I ask, a smile making its way onto my lips.

"Maybe." He takes his bottom lip in between his teeth. Oh god, he looks so hot!

I don't know why I'm grinning, but I am and I feel weird right now. I start playing with my hand until a thought makes me look at him. "Where did you get this ring? Did you plan this before today?" I can't help but ask, but I want to mentally slap myself for asking such a stupid question.

"Urh.... that's my mother's ring and before you think I stole it. I didn't. That ring was supposed to be for my best friend May, I was taking her with me for a party and since I don't like getting laid or anything like that, I was going to pretend that May and I are together." Why is explaining himself like this? Wow, he is a real gentleman.

"Oh." I giggle and shut my mouth closed.

"Why are you giggling?" He asks, his voice filled with amusement.

"I-I don't know, it just came out." I stutter. Why am I so nervous?

He starts laughing and it's the most amazing thing that came from his lips so far, well..... except for that kiss.

We started talking about everything and nothing. He told me about his high school years, about how he and his group of friends got suspended for peaking into the girl's bathroom when they got dressed for cheerleading. He told me how he once got a scar on his knee was when he fell from the tree because one of his friends pushed him down by accident since his friend was way bigger than he is. I found it quite amusing and it gave chills down my damn spine. He told me about his first girlfriend ever and that was in elementary school. When he kissed a girl out of nowhere and they sort of started kissing every day. He didn't know if they were a thing but he knew and thought that she was The One. I laughed at him thinking she was the one when he didn't even know what that meant, at that time.

After, we ate something at a Chinese Restaurant and omg, aren't their mushrooms amazing?! He dropped me off at Sunrise Roast because I had to get my things and lock up. It was locked already and no one was in there. I checked the time and it read 11:25. Woah, it's late.

"I better get home, or else my mom would trip. She'd either think I'm dead or you kidnapped me." I laughed at how her expression would be once she finds out I'm married. Oh, poor mother. Probably have a heart attack because I'm being taken away from her, which obviously wouldn't happen because we both know we are undetachable.

When I arrived at my house the lights are still on. Probably my brother who is waiting for me.

"Can I get your name?" I ask the guys sitting next to me and he looks at me.

"Oh, my name is Cameron. Cam for short. And yours is...uh, Cleo right?" He smiled, what a beautiful smile though.

"Yes, how did you know?" I raised my brow making him laugh.

"You always have your name on your apron, so you took it off before we left to remember. I tried to remember your name earlier but I forgot. So, now I pictured you with that apron on and it looks quite sexy on you. I'm just being honest here though."

I giggled and my ears turned red. "Thank you, Cammy Boy."

"Hey, I'm not a boy. I'm an adult." He says playfully sticking his tongue out and I laughed out loud. His eyes went wide and I covered my mouth with my hand, mumbling a sorry.

"No, no that was music to my ears."

I'm pretty sure I looked like a tomato right now. He laughed and looked into my eyes again.

"So, uh. Can I take you with me to the party tomorrow night?" He asked me, making my eyes go wide.

"Uh, I don't know. I don't like being around people I don't know. You should thank me for the day you had because I don't know you and look at me, sitting right next to you." O teased him, making him laugh. I smiled at his amazing laugh.

"Okay, I won't take advantage. But can I at least come over to Sunrise Roast to see you?" He smiled hopefully and I nodded. "Don't take that ring off." He said, once I got out of the car, I bent down to face him and he rolled the window down.

"I won't, don't need to worry." I giggled and walked away. Once his car was out of sight I entered the house once more. Luckily my car is here, Mackenzie probably brought it here when she saw I wasn't yet back. No one is awake, my brother is just sleeping on the couch, probably waiting for me to to come back but fell asleep.

I went to my room and got undressed. I put on my pyjama's after brushing my teeth and my hair out. I prepared my outfit for tomorrow. I don't know why, but I want to impress him tomorrow with my new outfit. My eyelids got heavier and I drifted off into a deep slumber.

(I'm sorry for this late update. I hope you enjoy this chapter! Much love to you all and stay safe. Which is what I'm trying to do. F, xx)
