Zac

I feel like surprising Cam with a romantic gift or gesture. He won't suspect a thing, as far as he is concerned; it's just an ordinary Sunday. Okay...Let's see...What does he like? Hmm...Christmas but that won't do because it's summer now. Then there is me, he loves me. But I can't give him me. That's not what I have in mind. Oh, pancakes! When he comes home from lifeguarding duties I will take him on a picnic, a picnic where we will eat pancakes and have a good time. I'm a genius! I can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out, he will l-o-v-e this. I start making the pancakes but I'm not a very good cook so I give up some hours later when I seem to have burnt or in some other way ruined most of the so called pancakes. When I glance at the clock I kind of freak out because according to it Cam is going to be home any minute now and I haven't got a single edible pancake. There goes my master picnic plan. It's only a minute after I've thought that, that I hear Cam's keys in the door. He steps through the door and in the middle of his 'Hello honey' he looks at me a little shocked. I look at myself to understand why he has that look on his face and realize that I'm covered in flour and other cooking ingredients. And in that moment the fire alarm goes off and we both cover our ears and I hurry off to turn it down. When all that is done I just say:

"Um..." I pause and then continue, "Well, I can explain."Cam looks at me like that's exactly what he wants, an explanation. So I do. I say, "So, uh, I was thinking I'd surprise you..." Cam cuts me off with, "That. You certainly did." I continue my explaining and tell him about my genius picnic plan and how I was supposed to make pancakes because he loves pancakes. I go on about how hard cooking is and then I finish it all off with, "I just wanted to make a romantic gesture because I love you." At that he smiles. I then realize that, that's all I ever wanted, for him to smile. So I tell him that and his smile grows wider and he takes my hand and then he says,"Well, I might not get pancakes but the thought was very nice and that's all that really matters in the end." We smile at each other for awhile longer and then he gives me a quick kiss and then he says, "Master Chef Zac, let's get this cleaned up and then we'll order in some Thai-food. Sounds like a plan?" I nod and smile. That's my Cam, God I love him.
