How this Utah Girl met her Cali Boy, part 5

That next week was a rough one for me, but I listened to Cam's Disney Mix through the hard times. I couldn't stop thinking about him and I needed a reason to reach out to him aside from FHE. So, I was that weird girl in the ward that got his number from the ward directory and texted him. "Hey Cameron, it's Becca. Thanks for the CD, it has been a real help this week. You're the best." or something to that effect. I don't remember what he texted back, I'm sure something sweet and great.

The next few weeks there were occasional texts back and forth, usually initiated by me. I was a twitterpated girl, but I didn't want to lose my cool. I looked forward to each week seeing him at church and FHE. We would hang out after FHE with the crew and I got to know him a little better each time. With these hang outs, Cam and Chase discovered that I am very uneducated when it comes to movies, which was a common topic of conversation. So that led to a movie night at my house to watch "The Goonies."

*Side note* I have no idea how I had never seen the Goonies before that time, seeing has how I kinda really love Sean Astin. Anyway, it was a good night for me.

The doorbell rang. Cam was the first one there. He came in and I sat on the couch to see where he would sit...he sat on the loveseat. The doorbell rang again. This time it was Ryanne. She came and sat with me on the couch. Then Chase came and sat with Cam on the loveseat. That's how it stayed throughout the movie. After the movie, we were all hanging out and at one point, Ryanne ended up on the loveseat with Chase, so Cam came and sat on the couch with me. That was the first time that I thought that maybe there could be something between us.

The "Disney Rock" education included these songs, here, here, here, here, and here. It was awesome and my eyes were open to a whole new world! But it wasn't the songs that were the best part of that car ride. It was the fact that Cam was singing along, at the top of his lungs, having the best time of his life. My eyes were definitely open to him.

So we made it to Applebee's, had half-price apps, talked about movies, etc etc. I was laughing the entire time. Cam and Chase (another boy in the singles ward) were hilarious together and I got a great ab workout that night from all of the laughs. At one point I may or may not have spit water out my mouth and nose from laughing so hard....only Rachelle can confirm that ;)

We drove back to the church to more Disney Rock and then I think I may have gone home with Ryanne, I'm not totally sure. I just remember the next week being very confused, as I had be crushing on another guy at the time and trying to figure out what I was feeling about both him and Cam.

The next Monday came around and I rushed home from clinicals so that I would for sure be able to go to FHE. I had to see Cam again, and hopefully we would do something afterwards like we did the previous week. And something we did! Applebee's again, cause, ya know, half-price apps. Cam offered to drive again, and I kindly accepted...slash I "called" very loudly that I was going in his car. When I got in, he handed me 1 of 7 or 8 burned CD's that he had made for all of the crew.

"Alright Becca, this kid is a good one. Don't let him slip through the cracks." My head started buzzing for this kid, ya know, girly stuff. But I didn't want to jinx it, so I had to play it cool. I didn't say anything to anyone about my thoughts for him, at least not for a while, although apparently members of the Bishopric in the Singles Ward/the High Councilman over our ward say that they knew from the start...
