Luce's POV
At 1 in the morning I was still up, laying in bed, looking at the ceiling.
"Hey", Cam said calmly, laying next to me.
I jumped slightly, "Hi."
We laid like that for awhile.
"Where did you go tonight?" I asked.
"To the Boss" Cam replied smoothly.
I sat up suddenly, "You went to Heaven?"
"Yeah, why?"
I laid back down, "I guess I just didn't think that you could just poof up there."
"Well you can't, you have to be summoned" Cam fiddled with his hands.
"Why were you summoned?" I asked cautiously, unsure of what the answer would be.
"I'm being reassigned" Cam didn't meet my eyes.
"What?" I was shocked.
"They are reassigning me to a new human"
"Why?" I jumped up and started pacing.
My eyes burned and tears threatened to spill. I rubbed my eyes angrily, I couldn't let Cam know that he made my emotions go into turmoil.
"Because they said we have too strong of a connection." Cam sat up, watching me.
I didn't say anything else, and neither did he.
I curled up into a ball on my bed and he wrapped one arm around me. Nothing romantic, he was just being there for me. I half-wished that there were still feelings behind his empty-gestures.
He felt warm, human. But as much as I wished he still was, he wouldn't ever be human again because of my doings. I had killed him.
************************************************************/************
I woke up the next morning, next to Cam.
His eyes were closed. He was either asleep or pretending to be asleep. I didn't know if angels could even sleep.
I sat up slowly and tip toed across my room to the bathroom. I closed the door softly and turned the water on.
I took of my pajamas slowly. I looked at myself in the mirror. Pale skin, raven black hair.
I sighed and got in the shower, letting the steaming hot water pour down my back.
I was shampooing my long black hair when a hand suddenly pulled back the curtain.
I was about to scream when I realized it was Cam. I grabbed my towel and covered myself as quickly and awkwardly as I could.
"Cam!" I yelled, outraged at how comfortable he was to just walk in on me talking a shower. And how he didn't seem affected at all by my nakedness.
"Calm down, L. I've seen you naked before." Cam said calmly, his eyes amused though.
"What do you want?" I was still angry.
"I was wondering what you wanted for breakfast. Daniel's not here yet."
"Pancakes" I glared at him.
"Coming right up" Cam winked at me before walking out.
By the time he closed the door behind him, my heart was beating beyond control and I was shaking.
Crap. I got myself into serious trouble.
Cam's POV
Holy shit. Had I just seen the girl I loved naked?
My heart was beating extremely fast and I was out of breath.
It was unfair at how Luce could still make me feel this way even after she had killed me.
Luce's POV
After an excruciatingly awkward breakfast, Daniel picked me up and we drove to school. Right now it was lunch and we were sitting in the courtyard under a tree. I was sitting in Daniel's lap and he had his arms draped around me loosely.
When I was around Daniel, all thoughts and emotions toward Cam dissolved. But as soon as Cam and I were together, they all came flooding back.
"I love you" Daniel said softly in my ear.
I leaned back against his lap and kissed under his jaw, "I love you too", I murmured against his skin.
I leaned up and pressed my lips against his.
Daniel's eyes glowed violet as his teeth grazed my bottom lip.
I growled playfully and wrapped my arms around his neck, moving my legs to straddle his lap. His arms came up around my waist and pulled me tighter against him.
I ran my fingers through his hair and pulled his face closer to mine. One of his hands came up to touch my hair. He twirled a piece of it around his finger and smiled against my lips.
I giggled and pulled back for air.
"If I could do that all day…" Daniel didn't continue the thought, he was just saying that he loved me.
"I love you Daniel" I said softly.
"I love you, Luce" He answered.
He held up his hand, palm facing me. I pressed my hand against his and we locked our fingers together.
