Was up in the 'Nest bored to death then I head a familiar, "How be it, the fair Lady, Up top the nest?" although the last part was new.

"Top of the Morning to you, Cameron." I heard a small grunt and he hosted himself onto the platform.

"You all ways know its me, how?" He said in a playful ton, as thought thinking I wasn't obvious.

"You're the only one who's bother to discover what will happen then you call me a lady." I mused, bluntly, more to my self, really then to anyone else.

"Fancy that."

"Cameron?

"Yes, O, Captains daughter?"

"Stop that fool!" I poked him hard of the left shoulder.

"Fine! Yes, dear, sweet Ovashing- Whatever may I assist you with?"

I gave him a very displease look and then continued. "What the story with Nicolas?

"No one knows. Some say he really can't talk all the wall, some say he's got a stutter or talks with a lisp, so he just doesn't. But know one knows."

We looked upon the deck, far below and so him banging his head on the side rails. I was very confused, and by the looks of things, so was Cameron.

We chatter for sometime and laughed for longer.

Near twilight Cameron confessed something, "Ovashing, I really am pleased you cam to the Pearl. It's need to have someone to laugh with on my own account."

"You welcome I suppose."

"Nicolas is well, you know" And I did, thinking of the head banging. "And yeah its nice to have someone to laugh with."

"What about Robert..?"

Cameron grew very pink, and I didn't understand why. "Oh, well I think there calling for me, and look, Anamaria's coming, your shift is over, come, lets get something to eat!"

I'd never seen him so shift, or pink, but I let it be and followed him down, waving to Anamaria along the way.

And as the weeks went by Cameron and I became quite good friends.

Then best friends.

Soon neither had a secret the other didn't know. Or so we thought.

Time went on my life deemed perfect.

I had family. I had Friends. I slept well. And there was a new feeling. A strange flutter un my stomach every time I saw Cameron.

I would see him and smile, inside and out.

The duties we shared became the highlights of my days.

I would not emit it to myself for nearly months after I knew it was true.

It was two and a half years on the Pearl before I realized I had to tell him. To be fair to me. To he fair to him.

Cameron need to know I loved him
