Hi, this is chapter 5 because I put chapters 1-4 in my first entry so… hope you enjoy!
Chapter 5: Date or Disaster?
Luce POV
When I wake up the next morning its 7:00 AM, which surprises me because I never wake up this early. I guess that is one of the pros of going to bed as early as I did last night.
I get up to stretch my limbs a little and pick out a white, long-sleeve, V-neck t-shirt and a flowing baby pink skirt that reaches just above my knees.
As I head to the shower all of the events of yesterday rush back to me.
Daniel coming home…
Our argument…
Cam comforting me until I fell asleep…
When the hot water began to pour down my body I expected tears. I expected everything to hit me in a rush and make me bawl my eyes out like every other time me and Daniel have an argument.
But it never happened.
All I could think about was how sweet Cam had been. How Patient he was with me while I told him how I felt and Cried all over his shirt. How I wished he had never left and how I wished he had just held me all night long until I …NO!
I dropped my shampoo bottle and closed my eyes. I don't wish Cam was in my bed! I don't wish that at all and I never will! I thought with a reassuring nod and picked up my shampoo bottle.
When I was done getting clean and dressed I grabbed a pair of socks and put on my converses.
I don't have a crush on Cam I thought to myself repeatedly in the hopes of making it true.
I had no such luck.
Roland POV
I'd decided to get up early with Cam to go flying so I showered and got dressed. As I was on my way downstairs I spotted Luce walking down the steps. "Hey Luce" I said with a small smile but she never looked back. When I got downstairs Luce was proceeding to get a glass of apple juice, but she was about to pour it on the counter so I jogged towards her and grabbed her wrist "Earth to Lucinda!" I said while waving my free hand in front of her. She seemed to be thinking really hard. When she finally looked at me I saw a single tear slide down her cheek. I didn't say anything because she seemed like words couldn't help her, so I just hugged her and she buried her face in my neck and cried silently.
Cam POV
I was excited to go flying with my Roland. I decided to go early so that I could be here when Luce woke up.
So when I got downstairs and saw Luce and Roland in an embrace I was surprised. Roland looked at me over Luce's shoulder and mouthed 'no flying today'. I was perfectly fine with that because I just wanted to help Luce with whatever she was feeling.
I saw her shoulder's shaking and my heart broke because I knew she was crying about Daniel. I just don't understand him, he has the most amazing girl that's ever walked this earth and he can't manage to keep her happy. I just wish she would see that he isn't good enough for her. I could make her so happy, Hell I already make her happier than he does and she still chooses to push through for him.
Surprisingly, that makes me want her more because of the fact that when she loves she loves with all her heart and she won't stop until she absolutely has too.
I stand in the doorway clenching and unclenching my fists. Luce finally realizes that I am there and turns around and her tear soaked face just makes me want to pick her up and fly her away to a quiet place where me and her could spend the rest of our lives.
I slowly walk towards her and she wraps her arms around my torso and places her face in the crook of my neck. I wrap my arm around her small and curvy figure and can't help but wish that this was a moment in which she is mine and I am hers.
Roland slowly walks out of the house with a little wave and a knowing smile. I smirked and looked down at Luce who was peeking up at me. I smiled sadly and said "Luce, do you want to explain why you're crying before I find every suitable candidate within a 6 mile radius of this exact spot that could have possibly made you cry and beat them until they beg for death?" I made sure I sounded like I was joking but I was actually serious about that whole entire proposal. "I don't want to talk about it right now Cam" she told me. I felt her grin into my chest so I let it go. "How about we make breakfast for everyone?" I smiled and began to rub small circles in her back. "Bacon?" she said in the most adorable voice known to man. "What's a Cam and Luce breakfast without bacon?" "It's not a Cam and Luce breakfast because there will be more people, it's only a Cam and Luce breakfast when it's just us" that comment made my heart speed up. I'm pretty sure Daniel doesn't have an event named after him and Luce.
"Come on, I'll do bacon you do waffles" I tell her as I pull away from her and wipe away her tears with my thumb. "Ok" and then the moment is lost.
Luce POV
Since I've figured out that I have a small crush on Cam I've been trying to find reasons for me not to like him. There is only one so far and that is the fact that I Love Daniel… Or at least I think I do. I mean sure he is starting to piss me off, and sure he is really overprotective, but it's only because he loves me. Maybe I'm being too hard on him. Or maybe he is actually being an ass.
"Cam?" It's probably not a good idea to ask Daniel's arch enemy what he thinks about our relationship but he is also one of my best friend's so it's worth a shot. "Yeah?" he stops putting bacon on the pan and looks up at me through his eyelashes. That look gives my stomach a nervous flip so I quickly look down at the bowl of Waffle batter I'm making.
"Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?" he hesitates so I look up "As long as it's not about female body issues…sure" I punch him on the arm playfully and say "No that's not even close to what I was going to ask you about. I was actually going to ask you what you think about …m-me and Daniel?" I was nervous about his answer because I knew he would answer honestly, no matter how hurtful that answer may be.
"Well…I think that you deserve more than what Daniel gives you." he said slowly while looking intently at one slice of bacon "By trying to protect you he's pushing you away, but I don't think he notices. I believe he's in love with the idea of loving you…but after all these millennia and all of your reincarnations he doesn't know how to love you. Especially since he's been trying to make you hate him for the last few reincarnations in the hopes of your curse going away and you being able to live a normal angel-free life." Then he looks up at me with his beautiful green eyes as if I am the only girl in the world and says "So no I don't think that you should be with him… I think you don't want to be either."
In that moment I knew he was absolutely right.
…End of the Chapter 5…
