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?"

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

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.
