Luce's POV

It was after school and Cam and I were sitting in my room upstairs working on homework. Cam had been missing all day at school and I had missed his sarcastic jokes.

"How was your day?" I asked Cam nonchalantly.

"It was fine, how was yours?" Cam looked up at me.

I continued to look down at my homework, but I could feel his eyes on me, "It was okay."

Cam nodded and we continued in silence. Cam was doing my math homework while I worked on English.

After about five minutes, pieces of paper were being flicked at me.

I looked up into Cam's teasing green eyes.

"Do you mind?"

"Nope. Not one bit" Cam smirked.

I rolled my eyes and went back to my work when I saw Cam get up out of the corner of my eye.

Just as I was pushing my finished English homework away from me, a cup of water was thrown at me.

I jumped up and was gasping from the sudden chill.

"What is wrong with you?" I glared at Cam.

"I think it's funny" Cam was doubled over laughing.

I stifled a giggle and ran to my bathroom, filling up a cup of water and splashing it on Cam.

Cam grinned at me and grabbed my waist, pulling me up into the air and pushing me in the shower, turning the shower head on and forcing the water on my head.

"Hey!" I yelled and tried to wiggle out of his grasp.

His arms were like iron grips and instead and grabbed his arm and pulled him in the shower with me and pushed him under the water.

I laughed loudly as Cam's own strategy was used against him. I slid down the wall of the shower and laughed, letting the water soak my clothes.

Cam sat down across from me and turned off the shower head.

"That didn't work out well" Cam laughed.

"And now we're both soaked" I sighed, although I was happy to be able to laugh and have fun with Cam.

"Hey Cam?" I asked softly.

"Yeah Luce?"

"When do you get reassigned?" I couldn't meet his eyes.

"I don't know" Cam answered softly.

I felt a pain deep inside my chest, choking me with grief, would I wake up one day to find Cam gone?

I had to spend as much time as I could with him.

And let him know how I really felt.

****************************************/************************************

Cam was there to wake me up.

"Wake up sunshine" Cam laughed as he threw a pillow at me.

I groaned and stretched my arms above my head.

"What time is it?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"7:06" Cam answered precisely.

I had about an hour until Daniel would be here to pick me up.

"Do you want to ditch?"

Cam looked up at me, surprised, "What?"

"We could have a super fun day, like go to a movie and like a dance club" It seemed silly and stupid, but I wanted to do something fun and risky with Cam before he was gone out of my life again.

"Sure, but you're going to have to get rid of your boyfriend" Cam's green eyes lit up though.

I grabbed my phone and called Daniel.

"Hey Luce" Daniel answered cheerfully.

"Hey Daniel," I fake coughed, "I'm not feeling too well. You can go straight to school, no need to bother picking me up, I'm staying home"

Concern filled Daniel's voice, "Do you want me to stay home with you?"

"Oh, no it's fine. Pick up my homework for me though. Love you" I said hurriedly and hung up.

I grinned at Cam, "Party time!"

Cam laughed and shook his head, but I could tell he was excited.

"What should I wear?"

Cam groaned, "If you're going to be like this all day, I am not going!"

I giggled, "Ok fine."

I grabbed a pair of dark wash jean shorts, a white blouse, and my red high tops.

I closed the bathroom door behind me and changed quickly before brushing through my long black hair and putting on foundation.

I opened the door and grinned at Cam, my heart was beating beyond control and I couldn't wait for this day to start.

Cam grabbed my hand and led me downstairs to my car.

*******************************************************/*******************

I drove us to our location, with Cam's detailed instructions. We stopped outside a place called Bo's Arcade.

I was confused, "It's an arcade?"

"Downstairs. With pool tables, poker tables, and some old-fashioned Pac Man games. Upstairs is a dance floor, a bar, and a rocking DJ.

As we headed to the entrance, I noticed that the bouncer nodded to Cam in greeting.

"Why are you visible?" I whispered under my breath.

"Patch brought me to this place. It's where a lot of fallen angels that have sided with Lucifer go. But I went here before I was made a Guardian so they still let me in" Cam explained as the bouncer opened the door for us.

I nodded but I was a little intimidated so I grabbed onto Cam's arm. Cam wore dark jeans and a black t-shirt.

Cam grabbed my hand and squeezed it to reassure me as he led me upstairs to the dance floor.

The bartender handed Cam a drink, his usual I assumed.

Cam took a long sip and then handed it to me, "Taste it" he urged.

I took the glass from Cam's strong hands and took a small, tentative sip. The liquid that poured down my throat was a mesmerizing mixture of sweetness and bitterness. The two mixed in my mouth and burned slightly when I swallowed.

I looked up at Cam with wide eyes.

"This is amazing" I gasped after I swallowed the rest of the drink.

Cam laughed and set the glass back on the bar.

"I knew you'd like it. Now come dance."

For a school day, the dance floor was packed. Then again it was a fallen angel club.

Cam looped an arm around my waist and pulled me into the throng of people. The bass pumped loudly and the walls vibrated. Dancing bodies swirled all around me and the taste of the drink was still fresh in my mouth.

I let the dancing movements of the other people around me move me and make my body dance. The dancing wasn't the usual, ballroom dancing Daniel and I had done. It was more like our bodies were shifting to the beat of the music.

I held onto Cam, afraid he was going to disappear. He held me close to him and our bodies moved in synch with each other and the music vibrating around us.

After about an hour of this intense dancing, Cam leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Follow me." His lips brushed my ear and I shivered.

I grabbed Cam's hand as he navigated us out of the mass of dancing people. As we passed the bar, I grabbed the drink that the bartender was holding out to Cam.

I started to drink the sweet and bitter concoction as we descended the stairs to the lower level.

The game level was less busy, with 4 pool tables lined up in a row, their green felt fading. 3 poker tables were scattered throughout the room. Only one was being used by a group of serious guys. And in one corner sat 2 old Pac Man machines, just as Cam had described.

I noticed that at the other end of the room there was a dimly lit hallway, which I presumed led to the bathrooms.

I finished the drink and felt a little lightheaded. I tugged Cam over to a pool table.

"Can we play?" I begged, showing him my pleading eyes.

Cam rolled his eyes but was grinning, "Sure".

"Ok, but I suck at pool, so go easy" I smirked and grabbed a pool cue off the wall and handed another one to Cam.

I let Cam break. With that one shot, he already had one in.

I slapped his arm teasingly, "I said go easy!"

Cam held his hands up in surrender, "Hey, I'm a natural".

I rolled my eyes and leaned over the table, angling my body and arms to line the cue up with the cue ball. I pulled back my left arm and pushed the cue forward to hit the cue ball.

I groaned as I just missed getting one of my balls in.

Cam laughed and stepped up to take his turn.

Finally, it was down to the end. We were both trying to get the 8 ball in. Cam had put all but 3 of my balls in. He claimed it was an accident.

Cam was leaning over the table now, perfectly lined up to put the 8 ball in the corner pocket. I couldn't help but watch as the muscles in his arms and chest were stretched taut as he leaned over the table. His eyebrows were furrowed as he calculated the shot. His black t-shirt was pulled forward slightly and I could see just a bit of tan, muscular skin.

My breath was gone just looking at him. I cleared my throat and forced myself to look away.

Cam's arm pushed the pool cue forward to hit the cue ball which then hit the 8 ball. I prepared for it to go in, but it didn't. Cam had lined it up perfectly so that it stopped just a centimeter short of the pocket.

He was letting me win. I forced my smile away and hit him with the end of my pool stick lightly, "I'm going to win" I winked.

I leaned over the table in front of him and knocked the 8 ball in.

"Ha!" I laughed triumphantly.

I turned around to face Cam, to find him standing inches from me. My back was pressed against the pool table as he took a step closer. He leaned over me as I leaned back slightly over the pool table.

"You're great." Cam grinned.

"You let me win"

"Yeah, but it doesn't mean you didn't look great," Cam winked at me, which made my heart flutter, "you looked like a professional when leaning over the table." My heart skipped a beat.

He was so close. We were so close. I couldn't help myself.

I grabbed his shirt in my fingers and pulled his lips down on mine. Surprise filled his green eyes, making him even sexier, if that was possible, but as soon as he realized that I had made the move, his arms came up to circle my waist and pull my body closer to his.

I closed my eyes as our lips molded together. My tongue traced his bottom lip and I felt him shiver. I could feel his heart beating as fast as mine.

A soft moan of pleasure escaped my lips, which made one of the poker guys look up at us.

Cam laughed softly against my lips and pulled me down the hallway where I had presumed the bathrooms were. He pulled me into a room filled with couches, a TV, a fridge and other kitchen stuff. I assumed it was the break room for the employees. Cam locked the door behind us as I sat on the couch.

Cam looked down at me and I licked my lips once and then bit my lip and winked.

That was all the invitation Cam needed. He grabbed me again and pulled my body against his and pressed his lips against mine. I looped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers in his hair. I pressed my tongue into his mouth and let out another moan. Cam's hands ran through my hair and then wrapped around my waist, stroking my sides softly. This was better than any contact I had had lately with Daniel.

My body was a lit with passion and pleasure that burned like a fire. Everywhere Cam's hands were, I felt more intense fire.

I couldn't help another moan passing through my open lips as Cam's lips traveled down my lips to my neck. I tangled my fingers in his hair and pulled him closer. His hands locked tighter around my waist and I couldn't get close enough to him. I was gasping for breath as his lips traveled up my jaw line and he bit my earlobe gently. I pulled his lips back to mine as I pulled him down on the couch with me.

I tilted my head back in pleasure as his lips went back to my neck. He held his body above mine so as not to crush me, but I wanted him closer. His wings shot out around us and enveloped my body. His lips were back on mine and I was still gasping for breath, but as I looked up into his bright green eyes, I knew that he wasn't human. And I knew that he would also be gone soon.

I pushed the thoughts out of my head as I smiled against his lips and ran my fingers through his feathers. Everything about this moment was perfect, and school had only started an hour ago. Cam and I still had the rest of the day together. Without Daniel.
