He stood up, offering his hand to help up Cameron. When they started walking back towards the house, he took her hand. As they entered the living room, Cameron saw James with a somber expression on his face.
"Baby Girl, I am so sorry. I just want to make sure that you never get hurt again."
Cameron walked over to James, as he stood up, and gave him a hug.
"I know, but I am going to have to learn to fall again on my own bubba. I know that you'll be there for me, and you'll never know how much that means, but I need to live my life. Sircy accepted that a long time ago."
"If I ever start looking like Sircy, please shoot me! Johnny man, I'm sorry. I had no right to unload on you like I did. I will only ask one thing of you. Just take care of her for me ok?"
"You don't have to worry about that Storm. If I have my way, I plan on doing that for a long time."
"OK. I don't know about you guys, but its 5:30 and I am exhausted."
"If Ms. Thing hadn't decided to stay out with her man all night, she wouldn't be so tired now would she?"
"Shut up bubba!"
"Cameron, I hate to ask but is there anyway I can crash here tonight. I am just too tired to drive home. All that dancing you had me doing has worn me out."
"Bubba, are you sleeping on the aero bed?"
"Yes ma'am."
"OK, then J.P., I guess you're stuck with me."
"OK………"
"Don't worry, we'll work something out."
