The change up (Sequel to the perfect season)

Goodbye for now

"Well gotta go, catch ya on the flip side.", I laughed sounding stupid as they both laughed at me.

After a long shower I put on a gray sweater with black leggings. I took my hair out of my French braids and left it with the natural waves.

When I got back to Cameron's dorm I could smell an aroma of food cooking. I let myself in since he stupidly left the door open.

"Hey it smells good in here", I said placing a small kiss on his cheek.

"Who let you in?", he asked confused.

"You left the door open, anyone could've come in", I explained.

"I was busy making your favorite foods. I made steak with Mac and cheese, and Broccoli. All for you."

"Mmm sounds good. I wish I would've made dessert".

"You didn't have to. There are fudge brownies in the oven right as we speak".

"You're the best".

"But you're better", Cameron said pecking my lips.

We walked over to a table and to my surprise there were roses and candles placed on it.

"Cameron you didn't have to go through all of this trouble. I really can't believe you did all this".

"Happy 4 months", he said giving me a small hug.

I started to feel bad because I had forgotten that today was our 4 months. The whole distance thing distracted me from what actually matters.

"Happy 4 months", I said sitting down as he served me dinner.

Once he finished serving me he sat down and joined me.

"So, are you excited for the season to start?", he asked.

"Yeah and I'm really hopeful that only good things will come out of it. I love the game and I'm hoping that it's a positive season."

"I'm kinda nervous to be honest."

"You're nervous? I've never heard that one before".

"Yeah me neither", he laughed. "I'm just kidding, I get nervous everytime I'm with you", he said.

"Me too. It's a good feeling because it means that we haven't let our relationship hang".

"Yeah, we're steady". I could see his reaction die down as I looked at him.

"What's wrong?", I asked.

"Oh, what, nothing", he said looking down at his plate. The mood of the date suddenly shifted as I tried to figure out the problem.

It got silent as we both tried to ignore what was going on. After 10 minutes of silence he finally cleared his throat and stood up.

"I'm gonna go check on those brownies", he said as he quickly got up.

I let out a sigh of relief as he left. I could tell things are definitely changing and that they won't be the same when we come back. He's hiding something and we promised that we wouldn't have secrets.

He came back fairly quickly with a plate of brownies. He had a smile on his face as he walked in but it was fake. He waved over at me to sit down on the couch and I followed him.

"Cameron I'm really tired and I know you're leaving tomorrow so I should just head out.", I suggested.

"No, please just stay with me. I just want you to know that I'm doing what's best for me and our relationship."

"What are you talking about? Is it me?, what did I do?".

"You didn't do anything. I'm just feeling unsettled about leaving you. I don't wanna lose you again and as cliche as this might sound it's the truth".

"I don't wanna lose you either". I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a quick peck.

He wanted more then a peck and pulled me in for more. I placed small kisses on his neck as he played with my hair.

"I love you Cameron".

"I love you too", he said as he layed himself down beside me.

He wrapped his hands around my waist as we sat in silence. I could feel his heart beating fast as my head was against his chest.

"Kat?".

"Mhm?".

"Don't ever change", he simply asked.

"I won't", I said as I grabbed his hand.

The next day
I woke up on the couch with Cameron's arm still around my body. How did I sleep? And how did he sleep so comfortably?

"Good Morning", I whispered pushing his hair out of his face.

"Hey you", he said in his morning voice.

"It's almost time for you to leave".

"Yeah I know, it sucks."

"Why don't you get ready and I'll make you some pancakes", I suggested.

"Sounds great", he said pecking my lips as we got up.

As he got up I noticed the hickey I left on his neck the night before.

"Um Cam", I stopped him.

"Yeah?".

"Take this", I said handing him concealer and foundation.

"What's this for?", he questioned.

"Well I kinda left my territory on your neck", I laughed.

"Yeah I kinda figured that was coming. It's karma since I always do that to you.", he winked as he walked away.

After I finished making breakfast, Cameron came out of his room with his practice jersey on and his baseball bag around his shoulders.

"This looks good", he said digging into his pancakes.

"Thanks.", I said watching him eat.

"You're gonna be an amazing wife one day".

"Awe thanks. I'm just glad to make you happy".

After he finished eating we both walked out of his dorm and outside.

"I already miss you", I said.

"You too. I'll call you when I get into Nevada".

"Okay. So I guess this is goodbye for now".

"Goodbye kiss?", he asked.

He kissed me firmly and softly as we said goodbye.

I don't know when I'm gonna see him again and it hurts me that it's unknown.
