Ok, it's been a long ass time guys: sorry! P.s. I'm not writing out what Daniel tells Luce about their past, so hopefully you know the general gist of it!
-Chapter 3
Venus' P.O.V-
"I need to talk to you," Cam said as he tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear. His fingers lingered against my skin and brushed down my neck, making the color rise to my face. He took my hand in his and tugged me behind him as he lead us out of his room. Of course I felt scared, 'I need to talk to you,' isn't often a good thing. Bad news is often coupled with that phrase and I'd been without Cam for a long time, did I even know him now? Had he changed? Once we were out of the raging party he asked to go to my room, so I took him, still feeling the nerves bubbling inside of me. Once inside we sat on the bed and Cam laced his fingers behind his head and looked at the ceiling. I could feel the bad news almost bursting from his lips as I stared at him with a frown etched on my face.
"What is it, Cam?" I whispered.
"Venus I have to tell you something. Something I'm not too proud of. Just, please, don't assume things or get mad 'til I'm finished- I'll explain everything: This time... this cycle, I decided to try something new. I tried to get Luce to fall for me instead of Daniel. I told her nice things and I gave her everything. Of course Daniel didn't really like that and we fought a few times. Venus I thought that if I broke the cycle then it would be a win for everyone. I thought that it would stop Daniel from hurting; it would stop Luce from an eternity of death; and it might land me in front of the High Council, where I could find out if you were- if you-" he choked his last words up and looked at the ceiling once again, as if searching for the words to say.
I stood up and sat in his lap. Taking his face in my hands I whispered, "It's okay, Cam I swear to you, it's okay. I'm okay and you're okay and that's all that matters." He looked straight into my eyes and for a second I saw a blur of his memories. His pain. His longing. I saw him flying around the entire earth- a small amount of hope inside him, thinking that He could have stored me down here. I saw him fighting with Daniel. I saw him in his lonely years with no one there for him. I reached out again for his face, and lifted his chin up to kiss him softly. He held my hips and pulled them lightly so I couldn't be closer to him. Laying down, he pulled me on top of him and carried on kissing my lips.
Luce's P.O.V-
Daniel towed me out of the party, to my room. The easy grin he was wearing never left his face, and every few steps he turned to look at me- as if he was checking I was still there. When we got inside he pulled me into his chest and kissed the crown of my head. I pulled back for a moment. Not that it wasn't great that Daniel not only didn't hate me, but he had kissed me! Although, I kind of wanted an explanation. He seemed to hate me, he flipped me off and gave me death stares; then a blonde girl turned up and everything changed- literally- he came over and kissed me. I felt something with Daniel, something like... love. But I didn't even know him. How could it be anything but a crush?
"Are you sure we haven't met before?" I questioned again.
"Oh Luce," he whispered, brushing his thumb over my lips, "Luce I have to tell you something and it's hard. I know you won't believe me and I'll sound so insane to you, but please stick around to the end."
I nodded to let him know it was okay to go on. He pulled me towards the bed and sat down, patting the spot next to him.
