Grocery Shopping

Maya POV

"Please please please please please?" Cam shook me as he begged. I swear to god he is such a child sometimes. You would think that a 23 year old would be more mature, being a NHL all-star and yet, he's not. It's amusing yet annoying his pleading. I never knew a man with so much pride and dignity would be begging on his knees for a pack of Oreos. But being the mature one in this relationship I need to put my foot down.

"No, Cam we already have too much junk in the apartment. You're supposed to be some tough, strong hockey player and you're begging for Oreos. That crap will do nothing for you." You would think an athlete would eat healthy and what not. Nope. My Cam is such a food junkie. It's sad. But I love him.

He raised one of those ferrets on his face at me. "Mhmm, so you don't think I'm strong now?" Before I could retaliate, he picked me up and started to spin me around. I erupted in giggles that turned into full-blown laughter. It's these kinds of moments when I'm thankful for Cam. For such a serious yet playful relationship. He was the perfect balance of just about everything for me. He was the perfect soul mate. If I'd ever lose him; I would feel so lost. What would happen if I did lose him? If he started to fall for another girl while traveling? What if he fell out of love with me? My doubts swirled in my mind. Threatening to take over. Even the thought of him leaving me brought tears to my eyes.

"You're doing it again M." Cam said while interrupting a possible mental breakdown. "I love you, so much. The thought of losing you hurts me as much, even not more, than it does for you. You are my other half, my soul mate. I love you. I will protect you. You are my absolutely everything. I will never fall out of love with you. Do you understand? I will never leave. I love you, forever and always." I perk my head up.

"How'd you know I was thinking all that?" I asked him, while he kissed away my tears.

"I know you like the back of my hand. Like the whole ice arena." He replied. "I love you and I want the whole world to know it. At least the whole store." "I, CAMPBELL D. SAUNDERS AM IN LOVE WITH MAYA I. MATLIN."

A few heads peaked out of the aisles wondering if it was really Eh!'s top cutest and long lasting couple. A young boy came racing down the aisles; he was wearing a Maple Leaf's jersey. Number 67, Campbell's number just like back in high school.

"Are you real?" the little boy poked Cam's side. I stifled a giggle. This kid was too cute. "You have no idea how much I love you Campbell! When I grow up I want to be just like you! You're amazing on the ice. Just how you take the puck and race down the ice and BAM! You shoot and score! My dad tells me story about you all the time back when you were on the Ice Hounds! God, you are just like, amazing. So I guess what I'm trying to say is would you please sign my jersey?" the kid looked up with pleading eyes. Cam looked over at me with pleading eyes for a pen.

I ruffled through my bag to find a pen but was distracted from a voice I thought I wouldn't hear in forever. My best friend.

"MAYA MATLIN?!" Tori screamed. She ran up and attacked me with a bear hug! "Omg, I've missed you so much! After Paris I thought I would never see you again! You never left! But I mean of course you have because you're famous!" She went on to become a famous fashion designer. I loved her so much but I thought she should go to pursue her dreams. "Thomas Williams Novak. I thought you understood me when I told you not to run away from me like that. You're lucky that I know these people. You are in serious trouble when we get home." She scolded her…son?

"Wait. Are you and Zig married? You guys have a kid? No way!" I asked.

"I'll tell you all about it later, we have to run to pick up Zig form the station. We really have to catch up though!" she responded.

"Wait, what if you all come over for dinner. Cam's practice ends at 5, so why don't you come over at 6?" I proposed. She nodded her head in excitement. "Ok, so here's my number and address." The two walked away. I looked over at Cam. He was in such a daze. I decided to kiss him out of it. "Come on Superstar. We have company coming over now. Let's get to shopping!"

An hour later I was making Cam carry in all the groceries. He was moaning and groaning on how I should help. Haha, ya right. I'm still 5'5 and have no strength at all. Think of it as extra hockey training Superstar I told him.

I looked over at the clock, not realizing it's 1 already. "Cam, you should get going, your gonna be late. It's already 1."

"Okay, I see how it is. You want me out. Ok well have fun with the other man." He joked

"Shut up and leave. I love you. And remember Tori and Zig are coming over at 6. So no being late. And be careful, don't play too rough. And don't get too cold. Tell the boys I said hey. And remember to…" I was cut off by his lips.

"I will be fine M, don't worry bout me. I'm a big boy, see my muscle?" he said as he help up his arm. He then picked up his duffle bag and ran out the door.

"Cam, one more thing. You forgot your skates." He laughed and came back and took them out of my hands. And with that he kissed my cheek and ran out the door.
