Despite her friend's reassurance that everything would be fine if, Lillian was still nervous. She tugged on her skirt and rearranged her headband, checking herself one last time in the mirror. 'A casual outfit for this kind of thing works best' is what Laney had said, but Lillian was nervous that she didn't look right all the same. A knock at the door had her running, and when she opened it the florist stood looking at her pasture, a smile taking place of his normally cold expression. Cam looked down at her and smiled even more, leaning forward and giving her a quick kiss on the forehead. "You look beautiful," he said by way of good morning, and she blushed when he held his hand out to her invitingly.
While the two walked hand in hand towards the stream where they often spent time together, both were silent, observing the animals and the foliage that they passed. When Cam came to a halt, Lillian looked up at him in surprise, wonder what was in store. With a mischevious look she'd never seen on his face before, he turned to her and said, "I wanted to show you something." Leaping off the little pathway that led to Konohana, he looked up at her and held out his arms. "Trust me," he said, seeing her hesitation, and shyly she put her arms around his neck while he held her, bridal style. Wading through the water, they got to the other side and Lillian expected him to put her down but he kept walking, straight into the forest. "Cam, aren't I heavy?" she asked, wondering why he was still carrying her. He shook his head and gave her a soft look. "You're so light, it's no problem at all. Besides, I don't mind your current position at all," and here he grinned slyly while she blushed, noting that the hand he had around her waist had tightened a bit. He put her down when they came to what looked to be a cave. There was a tree blocking the entrance, making it hard to spot if one didn't know where to look. "Alright, follow me," he said, pulling his cap down on his head and bending down to duck under the tree branch that blocked the way to the entrance when he felt a tug on his the back of his shirt. Turning around, he saw Lillian had grasped the corner of his shirt tightly and was looking hard at the ground. Remembering what Ash had told him about the tunnel, he turned around and said, "You don't want to go in?" She blushed at his proximity, but shook her head furiously. "It's not that I don't want to go in…I'd just prefer to know that you're there than walk by myself," she muttered, blushing harder when he smiled gently and grabbed her to his chest. "I'll always be here, don't worry," he soothed her, then he took her hand and led her to the entrance.
"Wow! It's beautiful!" Lillian turned slowly, taking in the scenery with huge eyes. It was a hidden grove, surrounded by trees. A small pool of crystal clear water lay at the edge, water lilies floating gently on its surface, and the red magic flowers surrounded the area. Above, a tangle of branches hung down to form a ceiling, and the grass was so overgrown and soft that it was like a carpet. Cam smiled, watching her as she ran first to one end then the other, exclaiming wonder the entire time. Finally, she spun around happily and flopped on the ground, gazing up at the ceiling. She suddenly seemed to remember her friend, in a demanding sort of way, rolled over on her stomach and beckoned him to join her with a finger. He walked over to her and was about to sit down gently when she grabbed his arm and roughly pulled him down, yanking him to the ground and sitting up, grinning down at him. "Ow, what was that for?" he complained teasingly, pushing her off him and rolling to lay on his side, staring up at the pretty girl who stuck her tongue out in response. "THAT'S for not showing me this place sooner. I can't believe this was here the whole time and I never knew about it!" Cam took off his hat and placed on her head, laughing when it fell over her eyes. As she pushed it up, he tilted his head, giving her another gentle expression. "That's because I wanted it to be special for you. I found this place a few seasons ago, and so I came here and tended to the flowers and brought the lilies." As they were close to the spring, he reached out and plucked one of the flowers from the water and kissed it before holding it out to the blushing girl. "A lilly, for my Lilly," he said, and when she reached out to take it, he pushed himself up in one fluid movement and put the flower in her hair, kissing her lightly on the nose as he sat back to look at his handiwork. She put a hand up to her hair to touch the flower, and Cam leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Next time, I won't just kiss you on the nose."
Author's note: Oh how I love Cam *huggles* I love all of them really, but whenever I write a particularly romantic scene for one I go all mushy inside for that one particular bachelor. These episodes usually last for a good half hour before I can get myself to move on to write for another bachelor before I freak out all over again XD Anyways, review, review, review duckies! I would love to hear votes for bachelors, or comments, or even criticisms. There's always room to improve : )
