For the Love of Gracie Read Online Free Page A

cute couple."  Cameron fell back onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling, grinning like the Cheshire cat.
    He was so still, I thought the news had sent him into shock. That was until he sat straight up and shouted, "Woohoo!" 
    I smacked my hand over his mouth to cover the sound, not sure if everyone was awake in the house. 
    Angel answered by knocking on the wall and shouting, "Zip it, Cam!" 
    We both snickered. Cameron wrapped his arms around my waist and tackled me back down on the bed in a hug. "Girl, I love you.  You made my day!" he whispered loudly. He pressed his lips against mine fiercely, stood up and helped me out of bed. 
    "Let's go shopping today," he said. "I want to find a new outfit for the next time I see Gavin." Cam invaded my closet and assaulted me with one piece of clothing after the next. 
    "Let me get a shower first, k?" 
    He shrugged. "K . I’ll go make you a hangover cure, scrambled eggs." 
    When I stepped out of the shower, the smell of eggs made my stomach churn. Tucking the towel around me, I stepped into the bedroom. Cam sat on the bed scrolling through my phone.
    "Damn, does anyone understand privacy?" I snatched the phone from him. 
    He didn’t laugh, he looked very serious. "Check your texts. I picked your phone up to check my Facebook account and found that you had fifteen missed texts. I don’t like that guy, Gracie." 
    I dropped my towel and slipped on black lace panties and a matching bra. 
    Cam whistled, "What's with the sexy unders?" 
    I shimmied into my blue jeans and buttoned them before answering.  "I'm going to go see Hudson later today.  You don’t know him so I'd appreciate you keeping your opinion to yourself until you do."
    Cameron wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. "You shouldn't be wasting your time with that asshat, Gracie. That's all I'm saying. You're smoking hot and you deserve someone better. Is this really a guy you can see yourself with forever?" 
    I scoffed, "Who’s talking about forever? The sex is good. I'm twenty-one and I have plenty of time for forever." 
    He shook his head. "Spoken like a true guy. I should be so hot for you." 
    I smacked him playfully.
    "So what was wrong with the texts?" I asked as I sat to fix my hair. 
    "He sent fifteen in a span of two hours, for one thing. He also said 'sorry I offended your gay friends.' Glad I've been segregated into a group.  And he said something really crude about what he'd like to do to you.  If he was a decent guy, I'd be high-fiving you and telling you to 'get it girl'. Not this guy though, he gives me the creeps." 
    My phone rang, interrupting the conversation.  "Hello? Hey. Um, how did you get my number?  Oh, I did?  I was a bit out of it. Yeah, I'm good. I have a slight hangover, but nothing major. Thanks again, for giving me a ride last night. We should hang out again soon. K, bye." 
    Cam's face seethed with curiosity. "Who was that?  Was that Ash?" 
    I nodded. 
    He grinned, "Cool.  I thought you two might get along well." 
    Cameron and I spent the day shopping like a couple of teenage girls. We went to Opry Mills Mall where you can literally spend the entire day. He dragged me into one shop after another looking for the perfect outfit. Throughout the shopping trip, we played our favorite game of 'name that celebrity'. We would point out people that slightly resembled celebrities in some way. We always got a good laugh out of it, and several strange looks as well. 
    "Ooh, check it…Danny DeVito," Cameron said, pointing at a short , stout man with a receding hairline. 
    "I say more like Joe Pesci.  He looks more Home Alone or Cousin Vinny than he does Twins or the Penguin from Batman." 
    Cameron pointed at another one. “Check out DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince!” He began to recite the Fresh Prince theme song, loudly, until the guys glanced in our direction and we ducked out of the way laughing.
    Cameron gasped when he saw Hot Topic. “Girl, we have got to
