Derick's POV
The afternoon was going by slow. Cam and I decided to walk around town and go to the jewelry store. I bought a pretty necklace for Massie and Cam bought Claire a tennis bracelet. I noticed while we were there when ever I wasn't looking he was most likely looking at rings. Man, he has fallen hard. I wished I felt the same way for Massie. Maybe we have hit a rock and need to go our separate ways. No. Yes. Oh, I don't know! Whatever I do, I will do after I talk to her and find out how Claire feels. What if Massie says no? I don't think I could tell Cam. What have I gotten myself into? I have got to get my mind on something else. "Hey Cam, I'm going to go back to the hotel and change and go for a swim. Want to come?" I looked over and he was looking at something. I think a ring.
"Um, yea sure. Hang on though. Come here. What do you think of this?"
I walked over like he asked. Wow. It was amazing.
"What do you think?" he asked.
"Wow. It's really nice. Two words for you. Claire's lucky. But are you really going to propose?"
"I was thinking about it. I mean, why wait? If she feels the same way I do about her, then there is nothing to lose. But first I want to hear what Massie says. This brings me to my next point. Tonight I'm going to talk to here. Then if Massie thinks I should propose, I'm calling Claire's parents to get approval. And if everything works on, I'm going to take her to a romantic dinner and then a walk on the beach. I have everything in my head.."
"Wow" was I all I had to say. And before anything else was said, he bought the ring and we were off to the hotel to go swimming. On the way there, the girls called.
"Who was that?" Cam asked after I got off the phone with Massie.
"It was the girls. Believe it or not, they are done. They are meeting us back at the hotel to go swimming." And with that we kept walking, no more words were said. I looked over at Cam and I could tell he was deep in thought. When we got to the hotel, we had a few words, Cam telling me that he would meet me with Claire at my room. And with that, we went our separate ways. I got back to the room and Massie was already there. I had just enough time to hide the necklace before Massie saw it. She came and said "Your back!" before hugging me and giving me a kiss. I kissed back. Then she handed me a pair of swim trunks before saying "Hurry up and change." And with that, I did.
Cam's POV
After saying goodbye to Derick, I headed to the room. When I came in Claire was already there. When I got in I tried to close the door quietly, but it didn't work. She came out from our room and saw me. I tried to dash for the other room to hide the bag, but I didn't get to far without her being behind me. I got in and threw it in the dresser drawer.
"What's that?" she asked sweetly.
"Oh, um it's nothing." Even I heard the nervousness in my voice.
"Cam, tell me the truth. What is it?" I could hear she was getting upset. I figured there was no way around it so I thought in my head and decided to give her the bracelet. I pulled the door open a little bit and looked in the first bag (as there was two bags from the jewelry store) to find it wasn't the bracelet. So I opened the second one and grabbed it and said "I was going to wait and give this to you but now is fine too." And with that I handed her the bracelet.
She opened and said "What's in the other bag?"
"Oh that, that's nothing, umm just something Derick got for Massie and asked me to hold onto it."
Oh! Let me see it!" she said with excitement.
"No I don't think that's a good idea."
"I promise I won't tell"
"That's not the point. Just go get dressed and then let's go down and meet them."
"No! Not until you tell me, no show me what you are trying to hide!" By this point she was angry. But what could I do? There was no way I wanted to show her the ring. Then we started screaming at each other.
She said "Fine if you won't show me, I will look for myself!" And with that she grabbed the bag, took out the box and opened it. I saw the tears well up in her eyes. She then ran from the room and I tried to call after her but she wouldn't answer. Then I heard the door. Where was she going? What's wrong? Isn't she happy? All of these were questions floating in my head.
Claire's POV
I'm so stupid! Why did I have to persist? Where am I going to go? It didn't matter. I said to myself as I ran from the room. I heard Cam call after me but I couldn't turn around. I had to get away. I ran all the way down to Massie's and pounded on the door. Derick answered and started to say "I knew it was, Oh." I didn't stop I ran all the way into there room and ran to Massie. "Oh Ma Gawd! What happened?" I started to sob more before she pulled me into a hug and sat me down on the bed. I tried to stop crying but couldn't I just collapsed in her arms. Derick came in and said "I'm going to go. I have my cell if you need me Mass." I felt her nod her head and with that I heard him leave. Massie just let me sit and there and cry. After about ten minutes I finally started to tell her what happened.
"Well when Cam came home I saw him and he tried to run and hide bags. I asked him what they were and he said nothing. I finally got him to give me this which was in one but there were two. He told me it was Derick's present for you. But I didn't believe him. Lately he has been really quite and so I thought he was seeing someone behind my back and it was for them. Then after we screamed at each other, I just grabbed the bag and took out what was in there. It was a ring! Massie what am I going to do!?" Massie did her best to tried and cheer me up but nothing helped. I messed up big time and it may never be the same.
Derick's POV
I knew something must have happened so I did my best getting to Cam's as fast as I could. I mean I saw Claire cry but not like that before. I got there and pounded on the door. After a couple minutes no one answered so I used the skills I had and broke in. I saw something I never saw and thought I was going to pass out. I was shocked.
Cliff hanger….AGAIN! Well if u want to know what shocked him…REVIEW! Until then I will be writing it and keeping it to myself! I know I'm evil
Remember….REVIEW!
