Cam wasn't sure if Chase was going to tell Andie about her and Moose, part of her knew that he wouldn't want to meddle and that was why he hadn't told anyone since he found out but yet Cam find it hard to believe that he would have no problem keeping something from Andie. The plans for their wedding were starting to make the couple tense, and Cam was noticing how they would argue about things that wouldn't usually make them annoyed with each other. One of their last fights was a night the three of them decided to order some food, Cam was usually in charge of ordering, but that night she had told them that she was running late and to please order before she got in. Earlier that evening Moose had sent her a text asking her to meet him and when Cam tried to cancel on the couple Chase had asked her not to do it, but just to arrived a little late. Moose had been going to his new classes, and they had very little time together to share, so even though she plan on only getting to the couple's apartment 10 minutes late Cam arrived 30 minutes late and sad to not be able to spend more time with Moose. The boy was incredibly understanding with her and their entire situation, they had decided to tell some of their friends; the accident had taken care of the people on Cam´s work, and Moose told some of his uni friends. The pirates didn't know for now, but he really wanted to tell them so he could take Cam to the vault and the club. That night Moose had a lot of plans for them but when Cam explained to him that she needed to go to see Chase and Andie he understood. So, they talked, and he walked her to her apartment and spent a lot of time saying, well kissing, her goodbye.
Before going into the apartment Cam could hear the screams coming from inside, she knocked, and Andie opened the door looking mad. "You are late! We haven't ordered anything because your brother there is incapable of compromising.". She moved letting Cam get in, which she did reluctantly. Chase was standing near the kitchen looking like he was about to explode with his face red and his hands were in fists. Cam could sense the boy wanted to scream or even punch something; she remembered Chase having this lovely persona when they were growing up but also when he was mad he usually would go and run the anger out or box it out. Tyler was like that too, Cam didn't know what had transpired between the couple, but she knew that the food was only the tipping point. With that in mind she walked towards him and told him to change because they were going to run, Chase didn't seem to hear her at first, but then he slowly nodded and walked towards his room.
The girl turned and looked at Andie who was now sitting on their sofa looking through the window. Cam picked the phone up and order some food for the girl on a deli that they frequent and told the owner, that she would go and paid for the food in person but to please deliver the order as soon as possible. Andie didn't move when Cam walked out of the apartment nor when she came back already change calling for Chase to come out. The brunette knew that the boy wouldn't get out of the room if he wasn't sure that she was ready to go, to come into the same room with Andie while been mad at each other usually didn't end well. Cam told Andie that her food would arrive shortly and the girl turned giving her a blank look, "If you hadn't come late we wouldn't have fight for the food. This one is on you."
Cam knew that Andie was a very emotional person at times but the fact that Cam had missed a chance to have a perfectly lovely evening with her boyfriend and now was being blamed for a fight she was not even present for made her mad. Just when Cam was about to tell her off, Chase came into the room and taking her hand walked out of the apartment without saying a word to Andie. They run all the way to the street, and from there they run for more than an hour, Cam was glad this didn't happen before she was fully recuperated or she would be crying by now. Cam asked Chase if he wanted to talk but he just said no and ran faster, still a couple of blocks later he started telling her about the fight. Apparently, Andie had planned to have a talk with Cam and Chase about how they needed to get more involved in the planning of the wedding and when Chase told her that he was involved the girl lost it.
An hour and a half later they ended up at the dinner where Cam had ordered the food for Andie paying for the order and then sitting down to have some of their own. Chase told Cam how he would make suggestions and look for vendors and venues for Andie just to say no to everything and now she was mad because he didn't contribute enough. "Is crazy Cam, we were so good at first with the plans, and suddenly she is changing things and canceling things saying that they are not good enough or too expensive. Honestly, I think Andie doesn't want to get married, and she is just trying to destroy the situation to the point where I´m going to be the one to call things off. I just wished she would come out and said it because if she doesn't want to get married I understand but we are getting to the point that I don't even want to be with her, and that is scary."
Cam would have love to say that he was wrong but Andie had a tendency of miss behaving when things didn't exactly work to her advantage when she was younger. Now after Chase told her everything that was going on between them this last couple of months she started to notice the same behavior, still she wondered if maybe there was more to Andie`s behavior. They talked for hours; Cam knew that Chase needed to vent, when he stood to go to the bathroom she took the chance to call Moose and told him what was going on. Moose was quick to assure her that he would go looking for her at lunch so they could talk more and that make her feel better. Chase came back and together they walk to their building he seemed calmer and a little sad about their conversation. Cam knew that Chase didn't want to ask Andie if she was trying to boycott their wedding but if she kept acting this way he was going to end things with her for her own good.
That night Chase went back to his apartment change and taking his clothes for the next morning he went to sleep at Cam´s. Andie didn't say a thing she knew they needed some time to calm down; she started to realized after Chase and Cam went to have a run that things were going badly for her and Chase lately. Part of her didn't understand why but after telling Cam that she was the reason for their latest fight and seeing the look on her friend eyes she knew she was not handling things well. The next morning when she woke up Andie knew that she needed to fix things with Chase, but for that, she was in serious need of a talk with Tyler.
Later on that day Cam was sitting outside on her favorite bench waiting for Moose to come so they could have a nice lunch and talk about what happened yesterday. Her phone rang, and she noticed that it was Tyler face timing her, they still talked like this once a week but never at this time of the day, and she wondered if something was wrong. After pressing accept Tyler worry face appeared and Cam immediately worry about what was the reason for her brother calling her, she hope everything was alright with him and Nora. To her relief, he was quick to tell her that Andie had called him crying that morning and that he was now aware of how the situation was going. Cam told Tyler that he should probably talk to Chase before assuming he knew the entire situation. Tyler seemed taken aback by that comment, but before he could say anything, Moose came into the screen calling Cam babe a giving her a quick peck on the lips.
Cam froze on the spot, and that`s when Moose realized she was staring at her screen with a shock expression he slowly turned and came face to face with a shock Tyler. Well, it was a shock Tyler the first couple of seconds but after he seemed ready to kill him through the screen but Cam quickly end the call. Moose turned towards Cam ready to be yell at and honestly ready to accept the blame even though it was impossible for him to know that she was talking to her brother. To his joy though Cam looked at him and asked him if he was ok Moose nod and ask her the same and even though it took her a minute to answer she said yes. "I think is about time he knew about us, maybe this is the best way for him to know it. Ok, I know is not the best way but hey at least is done."
Moose was glad that she had taken things so well. Also, it was weird that Tyler was not calling back and he told Cam just that. She showed him her phone, and he noticed that it was turned off, "Hey, I'm glad he knows, but I'm not exactly ready to hear his opinion about it. Can we have lunch now? I only have a half hour left now."
After their lunch, Cam went back to her job and turned her phone on ready for the dozens of text and missed phone calls. To her shock she only had one message from her brother, telling her that he was flying to New York the next day and they would talk then. With a sigh, the brunette returned to her activities wishing that it was late in the day so she could relax in her apartment waiting for Moose to joined her. He had surprised her at lunch with the news that he didn't have to go to class that night so he was going to be able to see her, and now that she wasn't in good terms with Andie she knew that having him at her apartment would be okay. Maybe it was because more people knew about them and they were in a good place of their relationship, but she was feeling the need to have him near her more often, even though Moose had classes and work they had found a way to see each other regularly.
If she was honest Cam like having this space where they were completely alone with each other, Moose had always had a powerful effect on her. and she was enjoying the perks of letting herself go. Now that they were together and he had proof how invested he was in the relationship Cam had realized that she felt more attracted to him than before and trust her she had always feel attracted to him. Moose had promised to bring food, but Cam had noticed that she needed to go to the store to buy some supplies so she texted him telling him that she was at the market so it wouldn't be and issue for her to buy some frozen pizza for them to eat later. While waiting for his reply, she started browsing what was in stock when she felt someone standing right behind her and then his voice invaded her senses and she was smiling.
"I was close, so I decided that instead of replying maybe I could join you in this shopping spree for food. What do you think?" She felt dumb at the way his closeness was affecting her lately, and he seemed to notice because he leaned in and gave her a slowly seductive kiss making the butterfly in her stomach go crazy. They stared at each other for a while, and he took her hand with every intention to go to her apartment, but she pulled back and told him that they needed to buy some food first.
They did that, and on their way to her apartment Moose told her about his day, Cam was so glad to hear how happy he seemed with his classes and his work. Finally, things in their life were working out they were having a beautiful time, they would still have their little fight just silly ones, and even then Cam could see that they were trying to make things work. Hand in hand they walk to her apartment, and when they were there they found themselves in a nice routine putting things away in their proper places, Cam went into her room to change while Moose put the pizza in the oven and started preparing some garlic bread. He stopped in the middle of his preparation thinking if this garlic would hurt his chances of kissing Cam but then decided to still went for it.
Later on the evening, they found themselves sitting on her couch watching "The Crown" while eating pizza when one episode ended where the queen and her husband were supposed to be having an intimate moment Moose turned and saw Cam blushing a little. He turned her face and kissed her; he just loved how cute she was, grateful that they were together again. Their kiss started turning intense, and without even realizing it he began laying Cam on the couch and settling himself on top of her. Moose slowly started kissing her neck enjoying the reaction he was having on her with each kiss he would lay on her. Just to see her enjoying what he was doing made him happy, Cam had so much power over him without realizing it, and Moose wonder if she would ever notice it. His thoughts were interrupting by voices coming from the door and noise of keys coming from outside.
Cam was too distracted to noticed which made him proud, but he brought it to her attention, and together they stood just as the door open showing her brother and Chase. "So you are back together with him? And you are alone in your apartment at night with him?"
It was obvious that Tyler wasn't exactly in a pleasant mood, but Cam was not going to be talk like that, especially if she was not doing anything wrong. Yes, in the past Moose hadn't been exactly the best boyfriend but if she had decided to give him a chance the rest of the people need to chill and move on. Moose didn't like the way Tyler was talking to Cam, but he knew better that to stand in the middle of a fight between them. Moose turned towards Cam and asked if she wanted him to leave and Tyler was the one that answered telling him to get out of his apartment. Cam turned and said to Moos that it would be better if he left but that she would be texting him later and walked with him to the first-floor door assuring him that everything was going to be alright.
They kissed goodnight for a while; Moose wasn't ready to let her go, part of him fear that Tyler would make her change her mind, but another kept telling him that they were good together. That night was a nightmare for him Cam did text him, but it was just a short message telling him that she was tired and she was going to sleep. The next day he didn't have any news from her, and the same happened the day after.
By the third day, he wasn't able to take any more of this absence of communication and went to the vault to dance his nerves away. He went into the practice room and found himself face to face with Tyler and some of the pirates. Tyler turned, and he could sense that this was the moment where they either fix things between them, and he would have a nice long relationship with Cam, or they don't get along, and his dreams of a future with Cam could slip away.
With this in mind, Moose walked straight towards Tyler who seemed to be expecting what was going to happened next. "We need to talk."
Tyler stood as tall as he was able and looking him straight in the eyes with what only could be described as a killer look nod his head and started to walked away from the room making Moose follow him; it was evident that this talk was going to happened on his terms, not Moose`s. All the pirates looked at each other wondering if maybe they should be going after them in case the boys were going to fight but Luke, who Tyler had asked about this new relationship between Cam and Moose, told them to let them have their space.
He was also interested in the results of this talk because he would be having one similar to this with Moose too in the near future.
