Camille's POV
The last few days have been crazy. Who knew that they took preparation for exams so seriously? I have to spend almost all my free time studying and doing work for classes which sucks because it means I barely see Moose. We spend lunch together when we can and we'll stop in at each others dorms for a bit usually before we go to bed but other than that we're pretty swamped. I can only imagine how much worse it is for him doing a double major , both of which are pretty demanding subjects , then again I can't help but feel jealous that he has the courage to pursue both. I may not shout it from the rooftops but I'm actually really passionate about dance. Dancing fills me with nostalgia , it reminds me of my childhood. I remember when I came home from school and did all my homework Ty would teach me a new dance move and it was just the most exciting thing in the world because I could do what Ty could do and he was my cool older brother so being like him was everything I wanted to be. I still get this feeling of excitement in my stomach anytime I think about dance , its something I've never mentioned to anyone before even Moose , I know we can tell each other anything but dancing has always been his thing and I know its silly because I dance with the Pirates but that's all I've ever done really compared to Moose who danced at MSA , in the Streets , at World Jam and has made dance a part of his life forever by making it one of his majors , I could never live up to him in the world of dance.
I snap out of my thoughts as the bell rings to end the last class of the day, I quickly grab my stuff and head out of the room. I head back to my dorm room as I have to pack because I'm going to Moose's parents this weekend. I've never in my life been nervous of seeing Moose's parents ,well except maybe for the first time, but still its always felt like a second home to me and well now I have this feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I know Moose keep telling me not to be nervous and that they'll be cool with it but I cant help but think that they might not be , like I've been around their house almost on a daily basis for like 3 years now and they've told me I'm the best friend Moose has ever had so how are they going to feel that him and his best friend have turned into boyfriend and girlfriend? What if they point out what a bad idea it is ? What if they forbid the relationship? Oh my I need to sit down. I grab the chair beside my desk and sit down in it putting my face in my hands. Suddenly my phone starts to ring in my pocket , I fish it out and check the caller ID , of course its Moose who else would it be?
'Heya'
'Yo Chameleon what you up to?'
'Packing for tomorrow just, how about you?'
'Oh I just got out of the engineering room but I was thinking I'd make my way up to your room'
'Moose surely you have a ton of work to do especially before we go'
'Chill babe it's all cool , I'm on top of it all I swear but if I don't see my girlfriend pretty soon I wont be able to cope'
'I don't know Moose'
'Please Chameleon , pretty please'
I roll my eyes at his childish voice but it works
'Okay okay come on up'
'Be there in a flash'
Before I hang up the phone theres a knock on the door , when I open it I'm not surprised to see Moose there , of course he was outside the door already he knows he'll get his way with me. I give him a look but he just winks at me and makes himself at home jumping onto my bed.
'Oh so no Kristen today so we have the place all to ourselves'
'Yeah well she's off with her new boyfriend'
'Boyfriend? Tell me more'
'Well he goes to NYU aswell , they met at some party during Spring break and have been virtually inseparable ever since. I see her less than I see you these days and I live with her'
'Sounds good to me , not that I don't totally like Kristen but I prefer it being just you and me'
Moose's voice is laced with suggestion , he walks up behind me as I face my laptop and gently slides all my hair to one side leaving my neck exposed , he moves his lips down to met my neck and trails kisses upwards until he reaches my face , he spins my chair around so I'm facing him and slips his hands behind my neck and pulls my lips down towards his - they crash together and immediately it's all hot and steamy as we continue to deepen the kiss , he stands up lifting me up with him so we're both on our feet , not breaking the kiss for a second. I get lost in the moment and my hand quickly starts unbuttoning Moose's shirt , he happily complies as he helps shake it off , I then pull the bottoms of his t-shirt up over his head and he does the same with mine. His skin feels so good against mine , I slip my hand down along his abs and try and contain my smile but he too smiles into the kiss. He moves back towards the bed and pulls me on top of him , I move my hands in through his mad curls pulling him closer to me , his hands slowly make their way up my back as he goes to unhook my bra , but when he's nearly got it a phone starts to ring. Moose's hands drop as do mine as we suddenly pull apart. Moose reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone
'Yeah?' He sounds mildly irritated as he speaks
'Moose honey is that any way to be answering the phone to someone?'
'Mom oh I'm sorry , I guess you just …ah.. Caught me at a bad time'
I quickly remove myself from Moose's lap and find my t-shirt to put it back on.
'Oh Moosey I'm sorry I just wanted to make sure I'm still seeing you and Camille tomorrow'
'Yeah Mom , we're still coming down don't worry'
'That's great sweetheart , okay I'll let you get back to it then , bye sweetheart'
'Bye Mom'
Moose quickly shuts the phone and the room is overcome with silence , he leans down and picks up his t-shirt and shirt and put them back on.
'I'm sorry about that' he says awkwardly
'Oh no don't worry about it'
'It definitely killed the mood didn't it?' he says with a smirk on his face
'Lil bit yeah'
'Well next time you plan on jumping my bones please inform me before hand so I can turn off my phone'
I laugh and push his shoulder back so he stumbles back , suddenly all the tension has diffused.
'I'm going to finish off all my essays and stuff now so I'll be worry free the whole weekend , you can stay if you want'
'Nah I think I'll do the same actually , then I can have a fun filled weekend' and with that he winks , kisses my cheek and leaves. I shake my head and think to myself
What would I ever do without that boy?
Moose's POV
I'm hastily throwing random clothes into a duffle bag when Camille texts me asking what's taking so long. In hindsight it probably wasn't the best idea to put off packing my bag until the very last second but I was too busy , well that's what I'll tell Cam if she asks. You see she never gets mad at me if I was busy with school involved things because she feels like I'm under so much stress doing a double major but in reality I'm totally fine , if anything its easier than before. Sure engineering was tough at the start but that's because I was under so much stress trying to keep up my social appearances as well as practices with the Pirates but because we haven't got any upcoming battles we haven't had to practice , now that we're done I can completely focus on my subjects and theres a reason I do engineering - I'm good at it , its just one of the most interesting subjects there is and I love every minute of it and of course dance is just amazing , doing the both of them does mean more work but when you're as passionate about two subjects as I am then the work is nothing.
I actually spent the majority of last night just sitting around thinking of what happened in Cams room , it was so intense I cant believe it almost happened. I know we haven't been a couple all that long but we've known each other for a long time and I'm closer to her than I am with anybody else so I can honestly say that I'm 100% ready to take this relationship to the next level and I'm happy to wait for whenever that may be no matter what.
I quickly zip up my bag and run down to taxi that ha been waiting to take us to the bus stop.
'Hey Cam sorry I'm late , I was so busy last night I didn't have time to pack a bag' She squints her eyes at me as if she's deciding whether or not she's going to accept my answer
'Moose I know when you're lying , its okay if you just forgot'
'Yeah I knew I shouldn't have tried to , thanks babe'
'But if we're late or we miss our bus I'm telling your mum its your fault'
'I knew there'd be a catch , you're never that sweet'
We get into the taxi and make our way to the bus station , by the time we get there we're just in time as the bus doors were about to close. Me and Camille find a seat next to each other near the middle of the bus and sit down. There isn't very many people on the bus , maybe around 6 which seems like an awful shame because its such a big bus but then again I like quiet bus journeys. I bring out my ipod and give one of the earphones to Camille , I put the other in my ear and press play on one of my more slow play lists. We both fall asleep within 10 minutes.
We wake with a jolt as the bus stops. It takes us both a minute before we can shake off the sleep and get out of the bus. I swear my foot hasn't even come off the step of the bus by the time my mother wrapping her arms around me , she then grabs Camille and has us both in a big bear hug. She finally loosens her grip enough for us to slip out of it. She starts talking non-stop about how much she missed me and how she cant wait to hear all about what I've been up to and blah blah blah , I stop listening by the time we reach the car and when I look over at Camille she looks like she's done the same. The car ride home doesn't have a single moment of silence as Mom is still ranting on. When we enter the house Dad is sitting waiting for us to come back , he hugs me and Camille aswell just not as tight as mum and separately of course. Mum quickly ushers us into the sitting room so I can fill her in on everything , I look at Camille as if to ask her if now's the time and she nods nervously- I'm dying to hold her hand to reassure her everything's going to be okay but we need to tell my parents about us first.
'So darling, what's been going on please fill us in'
'Well Mom , I'm kind of glad you asked because you see I do have something to tell you and dad'
'Go ahead you can tell us anything'
'Well as you know me and Camille have been inseparable since the first day we met and I guess we've always been so close so its only natural that we can be so comfortable around her and you know we get along so well and we have so much in common-'
'Moose the point' Camille whispers to me
'Okay okay sorry, Mom Dad Me and Camille are dating'
Camille looks down at the ground nervously but I stare at my parents trying to anticipate what they might say. Mum stares blankly at me taking in what I'd just said while Dads face stays the same so its hard to tell what he's thinking. After a painfully long silence Mom finally speaks up
'Have you two thought about this? I mean you have a great friendship and its definitely not worth losing if something happens in your relationship. I'm just not sure what to think'
My mouth near drops when she says it , I didn't expect her to react this way at all.
'Of course we've thought it through , if anything we spent too long thinking it through. Us being together hasn't ruined our friendship in the slightest , all its done is made it stronger. I cant help that I developed feelings for Cam and she cant help feeling them for me so the last thing I thought you'd want us to do is just bury our feelings just so we can stay friends forever. I'm not going to let anything come between us and I intend of being with her forever no matter what. I love her , surely that's all that matters'
I take Camille's hand in mine as she finally lifts her head and looks up at me
'And I love him' She chimes in
My parents exchange looks and then my Mum blurts out
'Love? Well why didn't you say so! Of course I'm happy for you two , I just wanted to make sure that it was the real deal but then again if you're actually informing you're parents on your love life then surely it's for real'
Mom smiles and comes over to trap us with another hug.
'Oh Camille I cant wait to introduce you to the whole family at the party tomorrow , they're just going to love you'
Camille shoots me a look of panic and I smile as I walk over and wrap my arm around her.
'I cant wait Mrs.A'
Mom leaves the room with Dad shouting about how her son has the best taste in girls and she cant wait to plan the wedding. I look at Camille and kiss her sweetly
'I'm glad that's over and done with' I smile
'That makes two of us'
'Just wait until my mom drags you around to every relative we have showing you off'
Her laugh is edged with panic
'Don't worry though I'll whisk you away so they wont find you' I reassure her
'And this is why I love you' she says as she smiles sweetly.
I know its been so long since i had a chapter up i just started to think people weren't liking it or something but no matter i promised i wouldn't leave a story unfinished and i keep my promises. I'm still going to have a few chapters after this one so hopefully i'll get another few up by the end of this week. Thanks for reading this and everything it makes me so happy. Until next time!
