"Come on there is no way that could actually happen. If those boats exploded with him standing so near he would be dead!." Cam couldn't believe how some action movies would go to extremes to make their stars look indestructible and also apparently all the girls wanted to be with them. It didn't matter that the guys were behaving stupidly and of course, they would have a dumb catch phrase that they would repeat at the moment the scenes was about to wrap.
Moose rolled his eyes, and for the hundred time that evening chuckle at Cam´s comment , he enjoyed watching this type of movies with Cam because of the way she would critic the exaggeration of every scene. He had asked Cam if they could see xXx when the snow storm passed, and Cam had complained about how Ty had made her see the first two, and she only remembered that she thought they were over the top. Moose had proceeded to explain that making unbelievable was exactly the idea of the movie and that he was sure that she would enjoy the new one. That's how they had spent the last 4 hours watching the first two movies of the saga, by half of the first one Cam had started to complained and instead of getting mad Moose had made comments that only created more responses from her which made him laugh.
"You have to admit that it was exciting and you love making all those comments, so what do you think? Are you ready to see the new one? I promised to buy the extra large popcorn; I'll even buy you candy at the movie theater." Cam make a couple of mocking sounds like she was impressed and laughed at the seriousness of the look Moose was given her but at the end, she agree, they had been binge watching shows for three days in the row and even though the weather was getting better classes were not to start until next week.
The second Cam agreed Moose went online and started searching for movie times at a theater near them and soon he announced that everything was ready. Cam reluctantly rose to her feet and announced that she was going to get ready and asked Moose to please clean a little before they go out. Waiting until she was in her room and her door was closed Moose proceed to do his happy dance, Cam was going on a date with him, and even though she didn't seem to notice it, he was excited enough for the both of them. He was well aware that these last couple of days has served as a way for them to reconnect and in some bizarre way to get to know each other more, even when they were dating they never had the chance to have some time alone like now. Moose was a city boy and even though he was used to this kind of weather he was never fond of the snow but since it was giving him the chance to be closer to Cam he had decided that he know love snow more than anything in this life,well except Cam.
Once at the movie Moose told Cam to go ahead and find their seats while he got the popcorn. "Is this a scheme, so you won't have to buy me my candy? Because don't even think about it, I want my candy, and I want it now." Moose laugh at the seriousness of her statement although he knew that she was joking and again he thank the snow for giving him this moment.
Giving her the sweetest smile she had ever receive Moose assure her that he wouldn't do that. " I promised you some candy my lady, and you should have your candy. If you wish to come with me, you can, but I thought you didn't want to miss the trailers."
By this point, the power of his look had made Cam blush deeply which brought a smile to his face. Since he had decided that he was going to be true about his feelings with Cam, he had made a point of paying more attention to her responses to his comments. He usually was rewarded by seeing her blush or a smiled that he noticed was a mix of laughter and wonder, Moose thought that it was probable that Cam was trying to see if he was playing any sort of game with her but he hoped that she would trust him in the end.
Cam went away leaving him alone so he could get the snacks and he quickly looked around to see if his friend Malcolm was working that day, he had sent him a text before leaving Cam's apartment, but he didn't reply. He knew Malcolm since they were little and when his friend told him that he had a part-time job at the cinema as a manager, Moose joked with him about getting free snacks. To his luck, Malcolm walked out of what seemed an office, and he called his name making his friend turned and smiled at him. Moose explained that he was on a date and he didn't have time to wait in line and asked Malcolm if he could sell him the snacks faster, to his surprise the first thing his friend asked was if the girl was Sophie.
Even Malcolm dislike the girl, Moose told him that no and to please don't mention her if he crossed his date which only made his friend smile broadly at him while he told him to wait. A couple of minutes later he brought Moose a large popcorn, two beverage and assortment of candy. "Thanks, man, you are the best. How much do I owe you?"
"Don't worry about it. Honestly, Moose, I'm just happy you are finally moving on with your life. Hey if you have the chance come say goodbye before you leave, I would like to meet this girl." Moose promised him that he would do just that and thank him for the food, he hurried to meet Cam, and when he found her, he presented her with the candy and saw her eyes twinkling with excitement. The movie started, and soon enough he was whispering comments with Cam and loving every joke or annoyed comment she made. Suddenly there was a very out of the world scene, and he knew that Cam's expression was going to be priceless and so he turned to look at her and found her making the cutest little face he had ever seen.
The urge of grabbing her face and kissing her invaded him and with each minute that passed he founded harder to control himself. Moose was aware of the importance not to push things now that she was finally giving him the chance to started a relationship with him even if at this point was only amicable. Cam turned at the moment ready to make a comment and was soon lost in Moose's eyes; she would be lying if she didn't admit that this past few days had awakened the old feelings about Moose.
To turned and have him so close to her filled her with a desire to kiss him, she wondered if they kissed all the feelings that she was fighting would finally overpower her. Two days ago Moose had spent the night, it wasn't planned, but they had been watching a movie, and both of them had fallen asleep on the couch, and when she woke up in the middle of the night, she found herself face to face with him. Taking advantage of the fact that he was dead asleep she gently trace his face with her fingers and even took one of his curls in her fingers bringing back memories of how she used to play with his hair when they kissed.
For a couple of minutes, she toyed with the idea of giving him a delicate kiss, it would satisfy her curiosity, but the fear of him waking up stopped her. Now that they were both awake and their faces were incredible close Cam was having a hard time turning to look away from him, she felt trapped in his eyes. No matter the amount of time that passed Moose kept having this pull on her, looking into his eyes he saw that he was having a struggle of his own and wonder if maybe he was thinking about kissing her as much as she was about kissing him.
A huge explosion happened on the screen, and it startled her enough to break the spell she had been sharing with Moose and when she looked back at him saw that he seemed sad. Cam was quick to make a comment about how outrageous that scene was, and he rewarded her by telling her that movies were supposed to be over the top, just like that the awkward moment had passed but that lingering feeling that something else could have transpired in that theater a couple of minutes before.
The rest of the movie was filled with comments, jokes between them and lots of candy just for Cam which made the girl extremely happy. When the movie ended Moose asked Cam to joined him in the search for his friend so he could introduce her to him, while they walked looking for Malcolm he started telling her stories about him when they were little. By the time they found him, Cam felt like she had a pretty good idea about the relationship Moose had with him, and wasn't disappointed when she saw them interact. Malcolm invited Cam and Moose to come to a little party he was going to have on Saturday in celebration of his girlfriend birthday, he assured both of them that she would love to meet them and Cam felt a little out of place.
Once outside the theater Moose told her that they didn't need to go if it made her feel uncomfortable, but he made it clear that he would really appreciate if she joined him. Cam promised to think about it, and together they walk making small talk to her apartment and at some point, without even noticing what they were doing they started holding hands.
Snow started falling again, and Moose urge Cam to quicken her step so that they would make it inside before things got worst, still by the time they managed to get in the building their clothes were a little wet from the snow. Cam was about to asked Moose if he wanted to stay so that he didn't have to endure the weather on his way to his apartment but the boy was quick to say his goodbyes telling her that he needed to leave then before they would stop the trains do to the snow.
He gave Cam a quick hug goodbye and meant to give her a kiss on the cheek, but Cam turned her head to say something, and their lips brush for a moment. Both of them stood still their lips barely touching wondering if they should take the next step and kissed and at the same time hoping that the other would take the step for them. Finally, after almost a minute, Cam took a step back not wanting to prolong what she interpreted as an awkward moment and said her goodbyes to Moose. The boy nodded and left the apartment promising her to come back tomorrow so they could finish watching their show.
Cam went into her room and fell face first on her bed releasing a scream of pure frustration. She was sure that not kissing him was the right move at least for now, things usually progress quickly between them. Last time had proven to be a mistake when they didn't take the time to get to know each other before going into a relationship, Moose hadn't been sure about his feelings or the way he needed to act towards her and if she was honest neither did she. Cam proceeded to repeat the same logic thought for a while trying to convinced herself that this was truly the best option. When she was about to change she heard a knock on her door and wonder if maybe some of her elderly neighbors were in need of something, she was one of the youngest tenants, and she was always willing to help.
Quickly she went to the door and opened it ready to accommodate her neighbors when she found herself face to face with Moose, the boy seemed to be cover in snow and Cam thought he had come back because he was unable to make to the train. Cam opened her mouth to asked him if he wanted to stayed the night when suddenly he saw the looked on his face and it made her tremble, the intensity on the way he was looking at her made her forget that they were in the middle of a snow storm. "Moose, what is going on?"
In one move he had both of his hands on her face gently cupping her cheeks, and slowly he got closer to her to the point that their noses were touching. "This is going on Cam."
After saying that he started kissing her incredibly slow first it was a sweet kiss, he was letting her know how strongly his feelings for her were and to his joy, Cam's response mimic his intensity. Soon enough though the kiss stopped being sweet and started to get rougher and when they finally deepen it the sounds they both released make it obvious that they needed to move from the door before the neighbors found them. Without stopping the kiss, they walked into the apartment and Moose kick the door close while following Cam to the couch where she was taking him.
When the need for air finally won over them, they reluctantly ended the kissed, but Moose was quickly to recovered and started giving Cam little kisses on her neck in the places he remembered always had the best results with her. Cam stopped him and Moose panic thinking that he had gone too far but he was finding it hard to regret it, if she was never to give him a chance to be with her again at least he would have this memory with him. After she had finally regained the ability to speak, she asked Moose what exactly had happened.
Moose couldn't help but chuckle and told Cam that he was sure she knew what happened because it wasn't the first time they had share a scene like that one. Blushing profusely Cam hit him in the arm and told him that he knew exactly what she was referring too so if he could be so kind not to mock her and answer her question she would appreciate.
He apologized but told her that he was nervous too so she shouldn't judge him if he tried to lighten the mood with a joke or two. "Cam I know we said we are going to take things slow, but at the theater when you were so close it took all my willpower not to kiss you. I love spending time with you, and this is not just a physical thing, all these days we have been sharing I've love every single minute of it. Now when we walk hand in hand it brought back so many memories and when I left I almost made to the train but the idea of not kissing you was killing me. If it made you uncomfortable, I promised not to do it again, but I think that you were enjoying the moment as much as I did."
Cam blushed at that comment and Moose came near her again whispering how sweet her kiss was, he had loved to taste the candy in her mouth, and he would love to do it again. The way his voice made her tingle to the core wasn't lost on Moose he continued to lower his voice while getting closer to her until he was sure his breathing were tickling the hairs on her neck and taken a risk he started giving her open mouth kisses on her neck. At first, he wasn't sure if Cam was about to pushed him or embrace him but when she let her head fall backward, he knew he had her permission to continue to show her how much he needed her.
After a couple of minutes, Cam pushed him gently making him stop his kisses and told him that this was going way to fast again. "I'm not going to deny that I want to kiss you and be kissed by you because it I don't think neither of us would believe me. However, I do think we are jumping into this relationship too quickly again, and I do want us to succeeded and for that to happened we need to take it slow."
The confirmation that she not only wanted him on a physical level, the attraction between both of them was undeniable, but also to have something with him made Moose smile, and Cam returned his sentiment. "I get it, we need to take it slow, so this can last. Trust me, Cam, that a lasting relationship is what I truly want. Now if I may suggest something, both of us are sure that we want to be together, but we know that we need some extra time, right?"
Cam nodded not sure where he was going with this but hopeful for some solution that would allow them to continue to kiss as soon as possible. Moose suggested that they should go on dates like they had been doing, yes he counted the binge watching as dates, but only kissed in private. They wouldn't discuss that part of their relationship with anybody, it was a private thing between them, and they didn't want or needed anyone else's opinion. Mainly because they were sure that most people would tell them that they were playing a dangerous game acting like a complete couple but claiming that they weren't one.
Both of them agree, but before Moose could lean in to kiss her Cam asked him for a favor, he was not to mention that they were going out to anyone that could tell her friends. "I want to explore this without them telling me what they think I should do. Is that ok?"
Moose was a little sad to be her secret but if it mean that she was going to to be open to giving him a chance he was going to endure it. Together they agree to some ground rules and also to the fact that this was only temporary, they would either get back together or break out for good. Cam was the one to initiate the kiss this time, and by the time Moose went home the snow had stopped coming down, not that the boy would've notice, for him there was only one thing in his mind, how much closer he was to be back together with Cam.
