"Maya you're holding it upside down," Cam chuckled, " how could you hit the puck like that?"
"Well I'm sorry that all of my experience in hockey isn't helping me right now!" She answered sarcastically. Cam chuckled and gave her a peck on the cheek while placing the puck down.
He wrapped his arms around her while placing his hands over hers on the hockey stick. "So you just pull back and hit the puck into the goal, like this," Cam said while hitting the puck.
"Yay! You know technically, I just did that, can I go now?" Maya asked.
"You're the one who said you wanted to learn how to play hockey!" Cam said.
"Yeah because I thought it would be a bonding and fun experience, but I didn't think it would be this hard!" Maya said exasperated.
"We haven't even started yet. Trust me you'll be fine," Cam claimed.
Maya sighed, "Alright, let's do this."
Cam then walked over to the net, which was barely 20 feet away. He decided putting on skates and actually teaching Maya would be hopeless, so he was just trying to get her to shoot at the net.
"Ready?" Maya shook her head, he laughed while rolling his eyes as he shouted, "GO!"
Maya took a couple of shots but continued to miss. At first she didn't even get close to the net. Once she aced her aim she couldn't hit it hard enough. "Cam this is hopeless!"
"No it's not! You can do it, just focus." With that Maya hit it as hard as she could as Cam purposely moved his leg to let it go into the net.
Maya screamed. "I did it! I did it!" she said running up to Cam who picked her up and spun her around. "And I'm gonna pretend you didn't purposely let me get it in!"
Cam laughed while putting her down, "Whatever do you mean Miss Matlin?" He pulled her in for a quick kiss.
"Alright," she said winking, "Your turn!"

They ended up back at Maya's house in the same room where they shared their first kiss. Cam was holding Maya's cello and bow while sitting in a chair, as Maya leaned over him with her hands over his.
"Okay, now this is a C," she said moving his fingers, "and this is a D."
"Maya learning to play a sport is a lot faster than an instrument. You can't just teach me how to play cello."
"Nonsense, you are being taught by the best cellist in all of Canada," Maya said.
"Mhm," he answered sarcastically, laughing at her glare towards him.
He turned his head and kissed her on the cheek. She went through a couple more notes when Cam said, "Ow, my fingers hurt."
"Pussy," Maya coughed.
"What did you just say?" Cam said mockingly angry.
"I didn't say anything," Maya said smiling.
He placed her cello and bow on the floor and started tickling her stomach saying, "I think you did!"
She tried to fight his hands off her but it was no use, she was too ticklish. "Cam, stop!" She said between laughter.
Cam finally stopped as he pulled her face to his and kissed her. It started off as slow and sweet, but soon turned into a hot and passionate kiss. He pulled her on top of him without breaking the kiss, so she was straddling him on the chair. She tangled her fingers into his hair as their tongues started dancing. Cam moved his lips to her jaw and went down slowly to her neck. He knew how much she loved to be kissed a couple inches under her jaw. She groaned as she pulled his lips back to hers.
They broke apart as they heard keys rattling and the front door open. Maya jumped off of Cam as she heard Katie shout, "I'm home."
Maya bent down and started putting her cello back in her case while yelling, "Mom and dad aren't home yet."
Katie walked in and said, "What are you guys doing in here?"
Maya laughed while saying, "I was trying to teach Cam how to play the cello."
"I failed epically," Cam said.
Katie laughed, "Doesn't surprise me, just stick to sports Cam." She patted him on the shoulder.
Although Katie doesn't like the idea of her younger sister dating a hockey star, she soon realized that Cam actually did care about Maya, and she wasn't just a puck bunny. So even though she didn't totally approve, she still accepted and respected their relationship.
"Okay, we are going to go upstairs," Maya said standing up.
"Alright, make sure you wear protection," Katie said snickering.
Maya smacked Katie's arm while walking hand in hand with Cam. Katie went in the living room and put on the TV.
Maya shut the door of her bedroom and went to the bed patting the space next to her. She laid down as Cam came over and did the same.
"So?" Cam asked lacing his fingers through hers, "what do you want to do?"
"Hm…" she said then her face lit up, "I know! Let's play 20 questions."
Cam looked at her confused. "So we can learn more about each other," Maya said in a duh kind of voice.
"Maya it's been four months, I think we know everything about each other by now," Cam replied.
"Oh yeah? Well how did I get this scar above my eye?"
"You have a scar above your eye?" Cam said curiously looking.
"Exactly!" Maya shouted. Cam just rolled his eyes.
"Alright fine, Maya how did you get the scar above your eye?"
"How did you know I had a scar above my eye?" Cam laughed as Maya continued, "I was having a tea party with Katie when I was four, and I dropped a glass and it broke. Katie was so mad she threw a broken piece at me and I had to get three stitches.
Cam hissed at the thought of that. "Ouch, that sounds like it hurt."
"No Cam it was actually thrilling. Best feeling of my life," She said sarcastically. Cam kissed her scar and went back to his position lying down.
"My turn! Uh, what was your favorite thing to do with your older brother Jesse?" Maya asked.
"Um," he said putting his hands under his head, thinking. Maya rolled over and put her head on his chest, and draped her leg over his. He moved his arms and wrapped them around her while saying, "play hockey."
"I thought you hated that. Wouldn't he make you play goalie and always shoot it at your face?"
Cam looked down at her questionably, "How did you know that?"
"You told me. Remember in the photo booth?" Maya said while tracing the designs on his shirt with her index finger.
"That was on our first date, how do you remember that?"
She shrugged, "I don't know. I guess I'm just a good listener."
Cam grinned. The fact that she remembered showed she was really paying attention. She actually cared and listened. He's never had someone care that much about him before.
He lifted Maya's face to his and gave her a quick yet passionate kiss.
"What was that for?" Maya asked, smiling.
Cam shrugged, "I'm just really lucky to have you."
"I think I'm the lucky one Mr. Saunders," she said giving him another kiss. She then went back to her original position of snuggling into his chest.
He kissed the top of her head as they continued to ask each other questions. As he laid there with his girlfriend, all he could think was 'So this is what love feels like.'
