“What’s wrong, Cameron?” Seeing that Cameron was in a daze, Dakota waved her hand in front of him.
Jerked back to reality, Cameron met her eyes, and his cheeks reddened.
“Nothing. Something suddenly popped up in my mind.”
“What were you thinking about?” She stared at him curiously. The way he was in a daze earlier made her wonder if he was thinking about Laura.
“Uh, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about some stuff,” he answered sheepishly.
“Stuff?” Suddenly, she squinted her eyes in scrutiny. “Did I hit the bull’s-eye?” “What did you guess?” Cameron’s heart skipped a beat.
“Were you thinking about Ms. Jones?” Dakota asked. After all, she had just mentioned Laura earlier.
“Laura?” At first, he was taken aback, then he chuckled adoringly. “Dakota, are you jealous?”
“N-No, I’m not.” Pouting, she puffed her cheeks and glowered at him angrily.
Seeing this, Cameron simply thought that she was adorable. He said with a laugh, “I’m not thinking about Laura.”
This just made Dakota even more curious. “Then, what were you thinking about?”
He laughed and tried to shrug off her question. “Something very mysterious.”
“What’s so mysterious?” However, Dakota couldn’t be more eager to find out what it was.
“I can’t disclose any more,” he answered secretively. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to tell her, but rather, he couldn’t.
“Stop being so secretive and tell me. Pretty please…” Dakota pleaded gently, dying to find out the truth.
However, Cameron wanted to fudge the situation and chuckled. “I’ll tell you next time.”
“No!” Dakota was persistent. “Please tell me… Okay?”
In the end, Cameron couldn’t handle her coquettish attack. “Okay, I’ll tell you.”
“Great!” The next second, she looked ready to listen, grinning wide.
“Promise me you won’t get mad after I tell you.” He made a disclaimer before proceeding.
“I promise I won’t,” she answered confidently.
