Cameron slowly opened her eyes when she heard the creak of the door
open. She immediately closed them again when she assumed that Sofia had
come for a rest. She shifted turning towards the window and burying her
face in the quilt, which now she noticed smelled of soft lavender.
"Cammie you gotta wake up I got some guys in here asking for you." Sofia gently shook Cameron until she opened her eyes again. Cameron watched as she lit some of the candles on her dresser draw.
"I told you I'm not going back to the Pearl." Cameron groaned as she turned towards the door where the guys were standing. She finally opened her eyes, which became wide as she laid them on Jim. His hair was tousled and he was dressed like a pirate.
"Jim?" Cameron asked not believing that he was now walking towards her.
"I wasn't gonna let you get away so easily." He laughed. A grin spread across Cameron's face as she gladly jumped into Jim's open arms.
"I missed you." She whispered in his ear holding him tighter.
"I missed you, too." He said gently sitting her back on her feet.
"So this is Jim Hawkins?" Sofia walked over and stood beside Cameron.
"Yupperz!" Cameron said turning to her.
"Picked up a cutie this time, Cam. He looks safe to me." Sofia winked at her before leaving the room along with Matt and Zack to give them their space.
Cameron smiled as she watched Sofia and the other guys leave. Then looked back up at Jim with his messed up hair and baggy pirates costume. "Nice outfit!" Cameron laughed looking him over.
"What? Did you think I was gonna where my uniform?" Jim looked down at her with a smirk on her face.
Cameron nodded as an awkward silence stood between them. "There's something I need to tell you." They both blurted out at the same time. They both laughed at each other.
"You go." Cameron said.
"Ladies first." Jim laughed.
Cameron looked up at him then diverted her eyes away. "I. I don't know how to say this, but I think that I'm falling. in love. with you." She stammered.
Without saying a word Jim brought his lips to hers. Cameron stood unmoving for a moment before wrapping her arms back around his neck and making the kiss deeper. He caught her bottom lip between his teeth as a slight moan came from the back of her throat. His tongue slowly slid past her lips coaxing her tongue in a dance of passion that he craved more then anything he had ever before. Her mouth was sweet and warm and his tongue explored every inch.
Cameron's thoughts weren't much different. She was surprised at how much she had been waiting for this moment to come and now here it was. She took full advantage of it by exploring his mouth as well; their tongue's still held in a battle of passion that neither of them wanted to break but unfortunately needed breath.
They were both gasping when they broke the kiss. Cameron was realing from the intensity of the kiss and if it weren't for Jim's arm wrapped securely around her waist she knew her knees would have givin out considering they felt like jelly. She laid her forehead against his and smiled.
"Should I take that as an 'I love you, too' kiss?" Cameron whispered to him.
"What do you think?" He gave her an evil grin before gently kissing her once more before they pulled away reluctantly. "Come back to the Fate with me?"
"Yeah of course I just need to get my stuff, ok?" She moved past him and grabbed her small bag stuffing some of her belongings into it.
Jim walked over to the door and opened it only to be knocked to the ground when a fist slammed into his face. He held a hand to his eye that was already starting to swell.
Cameron got to her feet immediately when she heard the thud of Jim hitting the floor. She saw one of her dad's crewmembers standing in the doorway looking down at Jim.
"What the hell do ya think yer doin?" Cameron said as her anger flared. She pushed the guy out of the doorway.
"I have strict orders from Jack to have you returned to the Pearl immediately." The pirate yelled at her.
"Well you can go and tell Jacky-boy that I ain't goin anywhere with him at the moment." She yelled back just as one of the few security guards came running into the hallway to see what the commotion was. The pirate growled down at Cameron before sprinting for the back door. Cameron watched as he disappeared and turned around to Jim who had now gotten to his feet and was holding his left eye. Cameron helped him stagger over to the sofa and sat him down. She grabbed a clean rag and wet it with cold water rushing back to Jim. She sat down beside him and laid the rag over his eye. He winced as he held the rag to his eye.
"You ok?" Cameron asked. He nodded just as Sofia, Matt, and Zack came running into the room.
"What happened?" Zack asked.
"My dad's looking for me and one of his crewmembers came here." Cameron answered.
"Doesn't look like it went to well." Matt said. "We better be gettin back to the Fate if that's the situation."
"Well what are we waitin for?" Cameron said grabbing her bag and helping Jim to his feet. "You gonna be ok walking?" Jim nodded as he followed them out into the hall.
"When will you be back?" Sofia asked before they could leave through the back door.
"I don't know Sof! As soon as I can, once this is all over with I'll visit more often I promise." Cameron embraced her best friend before walking out the back door with the others in tow.
"Cammie you gotta wake up I got some guys in here asking for you." Sofia gently shook Cameron until she opened her eyes again. Cameron watched as she lit some of the candles on her dresser draw.
