AN: Thanks to everyone who has signed up for story alert! I am excited to continue this story. I can't say how often I will update but it will be at least every week. I may even start another chapter tomorrow but life is pretty hectic right now. Also, I'm not sure how the whole beta thing works but if anyone is interested please let me know.

Camille POV

Three. I've come to hate this number. Why you wonder? Let's think of my top THREE reasons.

Number one. It's been three days since THE kiss. Yup, three whole days. 72 hours, give or take a few. You get the idea. Have Moose and I talked about said event yet, no. While I was at first very nervous, I am practically ready to scream at the top of my lungs I LOVE YOU MOOSE! Actually, I should think about that, it could speed things up….

Number two. I've had three big chances to tell Moose how I feel and he always manages to change the topic. It's like he knows what's coming and runs for the hills.

Number three. I roll over on my right side and have a visual reminder why I hate this number. It is now 3 am, a time when I should be sleeping. However, for the second night in a row I stare up at my ceiling wondering where to go from here.

It's during this dreamless morning that I realize, today is the day! Moose and I really need to talk. I run through the scenario of how our talk will go in my mind one more time before I finally doze off to sleep.

Moose POV

Three. The number of classes I have this morning. As excited as I was about majoring in both Engineering and Dance, somehow I didn't think through what this would do to my precious beauty sleep. Hey, a man has to give his curls the proper attention!

Cam and I exchanged texts this morning about meeting up for lunch. Even though she and I have hung out the past few days I have been doing everything I can to steer the conversations away from our potential new romance. I know this is crazy because all I want to do is kiss her again. After another restless night of tossing and turning, I've finally decided I need to tell her how I feel. Only three classes standing in my way.

Camille POV

"Thanks Camille. I'll catch up with you tomorrow to work on that report." Kristin began packing up her things and I nodded to affirm what she said. This being my last class of the morning I was excited to meet up with Moose for lunch.

Walking out towards the courtyard I took out my phone hoping Moose didn't cancel on me. Yesterday he got caught up with a study group and couldn't meet me at our planned time. Sure enough….

M: Hey Cam, can't make it for lunch, meet later?

C: Why, got a hot date?

M: U know it!

C: Blonde, long legs?

M: How did u know?

C: K, have fun with Barbie, what time u want to meet?

M: No worries Cam, Brad may be blonde, but he is no Barbie! 3 work?

C: Should be fine. See u then!

There it is again, that number three.

Later that afternoon…

Moose POV

Note to self, always look at your phone before answering. After getting the third degree from my mom, I was on my way to meet Cam. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom but seriously, I do know how to take care of myself. She is so worried I don't know how to behave now that "I'm a man." Her words, not mine. The end of our conversation was still playing in my mind.

"Honey, are you taking enough showers. You know you need to-"

"Mom, stop it. I would pass any hygiene test."

"Okay, good. You know it's important for you to be presentable if you're ever going to meet a special someone"

"Moooom, seriously? We are not talking about this."

"It's true honey. You need to focus on school but you know you haven't dated anyone since that one girl, what's her name-"

"Sophie."

"Yeah, Sophie. Actually, I don't think she liked my cooking much. I'm not surprised it didn't work out for you two-

"This is intriguing, really, but I need to meet Cam soon Mom so I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Oh, I can't believe I forgot to ask. How is she Moose? Are you taking care of her? You better be watching out for her. You know how college men can be, always-"

"Cam is fine." I let out a loud sigh.

"Okay, okay. I can't help it if I worry about my two kids. You know I think of Camille as my daughter. Alright, I'll let you go. Be safe Moose and tell Cam we miss her."

"I'll do that. I'll talk to you later Mom. Tell Dad hi for me."

"Oh, and Moose honey don't forget you said you would come home for Thanksgiving. Make sure you tell Cam she is welcome as well."

Sensing that my mom would never end this conversation I decided to toy around with her.

"Alright Mom. Got to go now. Swarms of girls swooning over my irresistible charm-"

"Okay, Okay. Just call us soon and we'll talk about when to get your bus ticket home."

"Bye Mom"

"Love you Moose, talk to you soon"

I can't help but laugh out loud as I recall how ridiculously hard it is to get my mom to end any conversation. There's always one more thing she needs to ask me or one more thing to remind me to do. Cam always has patience with my mom and her never ending stories.

I abruptly stop. There she is, my girl. I spot Cam a few paces in front of me. Her back is to me and I can hear her talking on the phone. From the sound of it, she's probably talking to Ty. He's been calling her more often lately with details about the wedding. He and Nora are finally getting hitched! I'm actually pretty excited to catch up with some old friends this summer.

"Alright, love you too." Cam closed her phone and began to turn around in my direction.

Before she saw me I belted out, "Hey Chameleon, ready to go?"

Obviously startled she squeaked "Moose don't do that!"

With the shock wearing off Cam let said, "Yeah, let me just grab my bag and we can head out."

Camille POV

I hated when he did that. He was always sneaking up on me. Didn't he know I become easily disoriented just from hearing his voice? Now mix in the element of surprise and I practically faint.

While grabbing my bag Moose started asking how Ty's doing. I guess he overheard part of the conversation.

"He's good. Their getting ready to go on tour again so he's super busy getting everything ready for that. Nora is apparently freaking out over some bridesmaid-"

Uh- oh, I know that look.

"I lost you at 'good' didn't I?" I laughed as Moose grinned. I could tell he was thinking about something else.

Hesitantly I asked, "Everything okay Moose?"

Moose shrugged his shoulders. "I'm great Cam. I think I just need some Chameleon time.."

"Your wish is my command! Come on. Race you to the bench, on the count three. 1, 2, 3…."

Of course Moose didn't wait for three, but for the first time today I was okay with the number. I was ready to take the leap and cross the finish line.

Hopefully the first place winner gets Moose's heart.

AN: Next chapter…..they finally talk!
