Maya's POV

"Cam, where are we going," I asked my boyfriend impatiently trailing behind him. I was currently blindfolded. Leave it to Campbell Saunders to tap on your window, and sneak you out of your house when your parents are sleeping just because he wanted to show you something. I had butterflies, but mostly I'm tired, we've been walking for a while.

"Aw, come on Maya, don't make me ruin the surprise! We're almost there I promise." We walked for a while in silence, but in the kind of silence that feels nice, like there was no need for words. As he held my hand and lead the way, I felt safe and I never got sick of holding his hand. Even though I was blindfolded I could imagine the look of excitement on his face waiting for my reaction.

I feel him let go of my hand, and suddenly my blindfold is coming off. Cam whispers in my ear, "And we're here; beautiful huh?" I look around and we're in the woods, a part where the trees are cleared off and you can see the stars perfectly. It really was beautiful.

Cam put down a blanket for us that he had stolen from my room earlier, and after he lay down I curled into his chest. I loved being able to do this so much, being able to feel him there and his heart beat drumming against my ear.

"I think stars are beautiful, but they're all lies," I tell him, he's so close to my face I can feel him breathe.

"And why are they all lies Maya Matlin?" He asks, now looking at the sky that's filled with stars in all directions.

"Because even though they are beautiful, there are light-years away from us and we might be admiring something that was gone a long time ago; false promise," I said, and after the words left my mouth he looked straight at me.

"I think that maybe that's what I like best about them, that they're still there after they're gone. Gone from what they were, but their presence is still there for everyone in sight to see. I think it holds some kind of importance," he said so thoughtfully, and I all I could think was that I love him.

"Maybe it's not a false promise then, maybe it's just a normal promise to always be there," I said, and I snuggled into his chest more, and I could smell his cologne all over his clothes.

"Maya?"

"Yeah Campbell?"

"I promise to always be there," And right then, that's when I kissed him. And it wasn't a super passionate kiss, but it wasn't a peck either. Our kiss had love, and my brain went fuzzy as our mouths worked in sync. And his hands were on my face, and mine were in his hair, and it felt just like I think heaven would.

We kissed for what seemed like forever, but even then I didn't want to stop. But we had to get home, because according to my cellphone it was 2:04 AM. So we rolled up my blanket, and Cam started walking me home.

"How do you think you did on the French exam?" I asked Cam, swaying our hands as we walk.

"I know that I bombed it completely."

"How? We studied all weekend!" I exclaimed.

"I think we were studying the wrong material Maya, kissing didn't seem to be on the final," I blush when he says that, I almost forgot about what really happened at our study sessions this week.

"It's such a shame," I say grabbing his collar, "you would have passed with flying colors." We kissed. This kiss was full of want. I needed more, and more. It's all tongues and lips and he's doing it all so well. And suddenly I wish that we weren't on a sidewalk against a lamp post. I wish we were lying down, I wish…

Whoa, those health teachers weren't kidding around about the hormones were they?

"We should, um, we should keep walking," Cam says breathing heavily. And I agree and we walk in silence once again.

And when we reached my window, he gave me a boost to get inside.

"Hey Cam?"

"Yeah Maya?"

"I don't wanna say goodbye, not yet." I say pleading with my eyes for him to stay.

"I don't either," he said smiling at me.

"Can you sleep here tonight just this one time?" I begged, and please, please, pleased. And he just laughed and said alright. I helped him up into my room, and then shut the window.

"Won't your parents check on you and find me here?" He asked nervously.

"No, tomorrow's Sunday, Katie isn't here, and my parents leave for work early, plus I'm locking the door," I said sounding as convincing as possible. It was just another one of those times, when you're having such a good time with a person you don't want them to leave.

"Okay, but it's late we should go to sleep," He said, and he kissed me on the forehead.

I found some pajamas, and I changed right in front of him, slowly slipping off my shirt and pants from earlier and leaving me in my underwear and bra; a nice blue lacey one Tori made me buy. And I could feel his eyes on my body.

"I, uh—should I turn around?" He asked awkwardly, he's so adorable.

"Um, you don't have to now, I'm done," I say pointing to my pajamas.

"Oh, oh yeah," He says still dazed, and he starts taking off his pants, but leaves his shirt on as he shuts off the light and climbs into bed with me.

"I can't wait to hear you snore again, it was so cute the first time," He said wrapping his arms around my waist.

I DO NOT SNORE, I think.

"Ugh no, it's awful!" I say completely embarrassed.

"Why it sounds so angelic, kind of like," And he start to make snoring noises, that sounded a lot like pigs.

"Thank you, it's a gift," I say back sarcastically.

"Goodnight Beautiful," Cam says, and then he gives me a small kiss on the mouth.

"Goodnight Superstar," I say stealing another kiss from him.

"I love you," I whisper.

"I love you too," He whispers back.

And that night I fell asleep thinking of the stars in the sky, and about their promises. And then I think about Cam. I think about him next to me right now, and I think about how I hope that he's my star, and that even when he's gone he's there.
