Chapter 33

School went as usual: horrible mornings, boring classes, surprisingly fun detentions. Some days Greyson wasn't there because of his photo shoots, recordings and concerts. But Nathalie, Jelly and Jacob made those days bearable.


We went to Nathalie and Jelly's house by the end of our three-week detention.


"Yo!" Jacob greeted as we entered their bedroom.


Their bedroom was beyond amazing. Their walls were a lovely shade of purple and it felt like entering a cute princess' bedroom. Their beds were big rounded waterbeds and all their childhood stuff are on display on every wall. It was like a little girl's dreamland.


"Why did you asked us to come?" Greyson said shutting the door.


We sat down on the small table set where Nathalie and Jelly used to play tea parties and such. Jelly beside me typing on her laptop.


"Would you want to be a part of the grandest party of the year?" Nathalie asked leaning closer to us.


"Hell yeah!" Greyson laughed.


"A little exaggerated but sure." I smiled.


Nathalie leaned back again into Jacobs arms and clasped her hands together. "Well then, let's proceed. Jelly?"


"So, food matters go to Jacob." Jelly said while pointing her ballpen at Jacob.


"Yes!" Jacob pumped his fist in the air.


"Babe, please do me a favor and try not to eat the food while preparing it." Nathalie said.


"I'll try my best." Jacob smirked.


"Entertainment goes to Greyson. Yes... We know that. Um.... Nathalie you'll be in charge of inviting people and stuff."


"Okay." Nathalie chirped.


Jelly raised her head to look up at me. "While you Cameron, my sweet sweet Cameron. My sweetheart, my darl-"


"Just tell me what I have to do." I sighed.


"Babe, you'll be in charge of pimping this place up. Okay?" Jelly said while pinching my cheeks.


"Alright because I love you." I said rolling my eyes.


"Thank you!!" Jelly and Nathalie simultaneously said.


"But I do need help." I said taking Jelly's fingers off my cheeks.


"Oh!" Jelly leaned back and closed her laptop shut. "Well, I'm sure Greyson will be willing to help you." She said smiling at Greyson.


"I'm serious, Greyson has something else to do. I can't do this on my own."


"No, I'll help you." Greyson said.


I looked at him and he just smiled at me and shrugged. "I don't have much to do anyway."


"Well then, there's no problem." Jelly said.


I looked back at her and she said, "I'll have some of my dad's workers help you with the big stuff. Then the both of you can handle the easier stuff."


"Bu-"


"Shh... everything's all set. Its too late to turn back now." Nathalie said.


"We'll do great." Greyson whispered in my ear, assuring me.


I looked back at him and smiled.


"Lastly, I'll be the one taking care of the expenses and bossing all of you around."


I turned my attention back to the whole group and they were smiling at Jelly.


"So, are you guys ready?" Jelly asked.


"I'm so ready!" Nathalie shouted.


"Yes!" Jacob shouted.


"I was born to do this." Greyson said.


"I've waited for this my whole life." I said.


~•~


The party starts in a week and Jelly wanted to set things up as soon as possible so Greyson and I stayed over the weekend. We started painting the walls of their backyard and set black lights since the both of them always wanted a black light party.


"Cameron please be careful." Greyson said.


Greyson held the ladder while I climbed up holding the black light.


"For the hundredth time, yes I will Greyson."


When I reached the top, I hung the light on the hook and plugged it in to check if it works.


"Does it work?" Greyson asked.


"Yeah." I unplugged the light and climbed down the ladder.


"Be careful!" Greyson said worriedly.


"Grey please stop it." I said looking down on him.


"I'm just worried that you might hit your head. When you fall."


"No I-"


As soon as I reached the middle step, my foot went right through. My heart raced and panic rushed right through me. I started on stepping on whatever I can step on but I soon find myself failing.


"Just let yourself fall, I'll catch you, I promise." Greyson said.


"I-I can't." I stutter.


"Trust me."


I look down on him and feel my legs buckle and soon my hands slipped and fell.


How stupid can you get? I asked myself.


Before I even knew it, I landed on something soft.


"Open your eyes." Greyson whispered.


I opened my eyes and found myself staring at Greyson's eyes, caught in a trance. His eyes shone from the sun setting behind me, it almost felt like losing myself. We laid on the ground with his arms wrapped around me.


"I caught you." He said.


"But we fell." I smiled.


"I know. But I was here to take the crash."


"Yeah whatever." I said rolling my eyes. I pushed his face away from me playfully and sat up.


"Are you two fine?" One of the helpers said.


"Yeah."


"Did you break anything?"


"We're alright, I assure you." Greyson said, sitting up.


"How about the two of you go inside and rest. Its been a long day, you've done enough."


Greyson stood up and helped me up. We went inside the house and settled down on the couch. I sat up with my legs tucked beside me while Greyson rested his head on my lap. Greyson fell asleep while I watched Finding Nemo and played with his hair.


A few minutes before the movie ended, Jelly came in through the front door carrying loads of shopping bags. Nathalie followed shortly after.


"Where were you?" I asked.


"We bought food and face paint and clothes and more stuff for the party." Nathalie said.


"What happened?" Jelly asked looking at Greyson.


"We had a little accident awhile ago." I replied.


"Oh my gosh are you fine?" Jelly asked wide-eyed.


"Yeah we're alright. Its good that we landed on the grassy part not the on the pavement."


"That's good, just help yourselves out to whatever you want." She said before leaving.


Greyson turned around and faced me. He then slowly opened his eyes.


"Hey sleepyhead." I greeted.


"Don't call me that, its an insult to my insomniac side." He again buried his face in my tummy which caused me to laugh.


"Stop that! You're tickling me!" I laughed while pushing his face away.


"It tickles you huh?" He asked while sitting up.


Before I can even answer, he lunged towards me and began tickling me everywhere: my neck, my sides, my tummy, just everywhere.


"Greyson!!" I squealed.


I managed slide my hand and tickle him back on his sides.


"Cheater!" Greyson said.


"I did not cheat!" I pushed him to the side and he fell down the couch. I went down and straddled him.


"Yes you cheated."


"I did not cheat, I just am a smart girl."  I said before tickling him.


"Cam!!" Greyson said laughing.


He easily freed his hands and pushed me sidewards. He tucked my arms underneath me and laid his full weight on me.


"You are a very heavy boy." I said.


"That's you punishment for cheating."


"We're not even playing a game."


"That's what you think."


He began to tickle me and I squirmed and squirmed underneath him laughing until I cried.


"Guys, please get a room."


Greyson stopped tickling me and I looked behind him still teary-eyed. Nathalie stood by the glass door leading to the backyard. Greyson got off me while I sat up.


"Please go away." Greyson said throwing a pillow at Nathalie which she easily caught.


"Please don't throw pillows, you'll get them dirty." Nathalie smiled throwing the pillow back at Greyson. "I just wanted to tell you both that your mother" Nathalie looked at me. "will be the one picking you up tomorrow. Your dad just left for a business trip."


"What!?" I exclaimed.


"Don't worry I'll be there for you." Greyson said smiling at me.
