Camp Closeted novel Chapter 30

"Really?" My emotions were very mixed and slightly confused and if Sascha noticed this on my face, he'd know something is up so I just quickly smiled. "That's so cute."

My voice came out drier than intended but Sascha was so star struck at looking at Jesse and I couldn't help but feel so happy for him.

I can't blame him. Jesse looked absolutely god sent and everything about him was perfect.

Too perfect..

Rama spoke. "The sun is about to set, I'm leaving before we get eaten by wolves or something." He walked pass us as he wanted to get back on the large canoe. "I'm gonna go see if Cade made it back."

"I'm coming." Logan announced.

"Hold on I'm getting my stuff." Keanu chirped.

Sascha quickly looked at me. "You ready to go?" He softly asked, tucking a long curl behind his ear.

Just before I could've answered, somebody's voice had already spoke for me.

"He's staying with me." Jesse interrupted, stretching out his gorgeous body as he yawned like a baby. "Im gonna need help to row the other boat that washed up with him, so..." His eyes were subtly shy as it slightly shifted to look at me.

Sascha took a second to reply as he ran his hand through his hair. All of a sudden, he smiled widely. "Oh, sure, okay then. Get back safely guys." He slowly waved, following the other guys onto the other canoe.

I remained seated, my eyes carefully focused on the bright fire as Jesse's tall figure stood right next to me, watching the guys begin to row away towards the setting sun.

Our surroundings were just filled with distant water splashes and a couple of deep chuckles coming from the canoe that began to disappear.

Before I knew it, we were alone..

I didn't bother flinching as Jesse quickly sat next to me on the ground, our eyes not leaving the dancing fire.

"Not gonna lie," Jesse's deep and slightly raspy voice began to speak. "I did wanna save you while I was doing mouth to mouth with you, but mostly to just kiss you again." Jesse confessed.

I couldn't help but deeply chuckle. "Imagine if I didn't wake up?" I raised an eyebrow at him, our eyes meeting. "You would've been kissing a dead person."

"But I wasn't." He answered softly. Looking at Jesse for too long always made me anxious and my cheeks always began to burn and I hated it. I remained quiet, making him speak again. "I know you're scared of Tristan because you're a pussy, but I'm never gonna leave your side ever again." He let out as my mouth dropped at him. "What? You are." He chuckled.

"I just don't want problems with anyone." I tried to hide a smile as I looked back at the fire.

"Well, I have a problem with you not wanting to have problems with anyone, meaning you have a problem with me." He slightly smirked, his shoulder beginning to brush against mine as I rolled my eyes.

"I have a problem with you?" I began to taunt him, trying to hide a smile beneath the towels.

"Yea." He taunted back, his head almost towering over me.

"What are you gonna do about it, bro?" I began to talk like a cringey fuck boy as he began to laugh.

"I don't know, bro." He shrugged, acting like a cringey fuck boy back as his dilated eyes shifted around my face. "No homo, but like, you're super hot bro." I cringed.

"That sounds super homo." I nervously chuckled, hiding a devilish smile under the towel. "Bro?" I added as I was about to laugh out loud.

"I only like being homo with you." His voice let out softly, his eyes delicately set into mine as I watched his ocean irises dilate wider.

"Look Jesse, I wanted to apologize to you. I should have never talked to you like that. You've been nothing but kind to me and I took all of it for granted." I genuinely spoke as his eyes observed my face.

He just remained silent, his fingers softly pulling my chin closer and I didn't even have the energy to stop it.

My breathing began to speed up as my heart began beating in a faster pace, our flushed faces moving closer together.

"Ah, sike!" Jesse quickly moved away from me as my mouth widened at him, amused. "Miss me with that gay shit. You're a dummy for taking me for granted." He joked, clenching his sharp jawline to the side.

"Wow!" I exploded out in laughter as I quickly replied. "That was actually so fucked up. But I deserve it." I continued to laugh as he smirked to himself.

His mesmerizing eyes met mine again, his deep attentive voice breaking the quick silence. "I forgive you, just don't ever be mean to me again, I'm sensitive." He smiled, momentarily showing me his incredibly white teeth. "Come here." He quietly commanded.
