A/N: I've always wondered why people write stories based on songs, so I tried it out and it's actually pretty fun, and it makes sense when the song relates to the story. Please R&R! (The song is "One step at a time" by Jordin Sparks…it's a really good song, you should listen to it!) OK, on with the story!
Fisher Resident, Westchester
Cam's Basement
July 29th, 2008
8:45PM
Claire was at peace. Her head was leaning on Cam's strong, muscled shoulder. They were in his basement, watching some movie, but she wasn't paying attention. She was trying to freeze the moment, but at the same time, waiting for it to move on. She wiped a strand of her blonde hair away from her eyes, sat up, and gazed at Cam.
"You okay?" He asked softly, smiling sweetly. His voice made her want to fly to the sky and back.
"What are you doing this summer?" She asked.
Cam thought. "I don't know. Hang around in Westchester, I suppose. Why? Do you have something planned with your family?"
"No," Claire said slowly. "Maybe we can hang out. Take a road trip to the country."
"Hey," Cam said smiling. "That would be cool! The rest of the gang, all of us going to the beach somewhere away!"
Claire smiled. "I was thinking about just the two of us," she said softly.
Cam was quiet for a while. "Aren't we rushing things?" He said softly. "Not that we're not going to be together for a while," he said quickly, "but I just feel that's a little to deep, you know?"
"No," Claire wrinkled her nose.
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch
Cam took Claire's hand. "Claire, I promise you we're going to have a lot of great times together. But let's not rush it. We have time."
Claire's heart was beating softly, in a rhythm. She didn't want to look desperate, but it was to slow for her taste. "How's a road trip rushing things?" She frowned.
Cam sighed, wondering how to explain it. "Don't take this the wrong way, Claire," he said pleadingly. "I'm just saying I'm not like other guys. I like to take things easy. I don't have a major make-out session on a first date or anything. We're not at that stage yet."
Claire sighed. "I suppose that's why I fell for you," she said softly, "but I want to know when we'll arrive at that stage!"
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can, if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're getting more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient, waiting
Cam looked at her baby blue eyes, Claire looking at his blue and green eye. "We'll get here, soon. We're just going to take one step at a time."
We live and we learn to take
One Step at a Time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and its
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One Step at a Time
Claire was slowly beginning to see Cam's point of view. "On step at a time?" Claire repeated slowly.
Cam nodded.
You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you've always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can, if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're getting more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient, waiting
"Question," Claire said softly.
Cam nodded carefully.
"Why are you the kind of guy that takes's on step at a time?"

One Step at a Time

Or falling in love

Cam pondered over the question. "I guess it's a way to keep better relationships. And it's much sweeter." Cam said smiling. Claire hugged Cam, and he immediately embraced her in his arms.
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end to sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is One Step at a Time
"Cam?" Claire whispered softly.
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
Cam broke into a grin. He gazed at Claire, the one girl who had made such an impact on his life, and then kissed her softly on the lips.
