Melissa's POV
I feel like a zombie, dead on the inside but still functioning.
I ate my lunch behind the garden so no body would spot me but it didn't stop Jack of course with his magical ways of getting to me.
"I need you to understand how sorry I am!" He tells me desperately as he stands in front of me.
"Please leave.." I mutter quietly and he shakes his head.
"I'm not leaving to you look at me like you used to!" He stands his ground.
"That was when I trusted you and you turned for heavens sake Jack if you were or weren't drugged that's isn't a way to have acted!"
"I know I apologise, it's killing me to see you like this!" He tells me desperate for some type of approving from me.
"I forgive you Jack but I won't forget. i truly do care for you as a friend but your actions and addiction are way out of my control." I admit honestly.
He nods his head, "You were worth the chase at least. I will always be there for you Melissa." he slowly makes his way back up the hell and the bell rings making me pack away my things.
I do admit that I feel guilty and sick to my stomach to make him feel as if I have let him down but I can no longer try to be someone I'm not or help with something that is beyond my control and I don't even understand.
The professor is blabbing on about something and as much as I try to listen I can't all I can think about is Cameron and what he is doing, what he is thinking even.
"Read over page 143 and revise the notes I will see you all tomorrow." He knocks me out of my day dreams and I collect my things as I forward out.
I make my way down the busy corridors with people bumping into each other and the loud sounds. I keep my things closer to me but as I pass a class I feel someone grab me and drag me into a room with there hand covering my mouth.
I scream but it comes out muffled and useless.
"It's me it's me!" Cameron yells standing in front of me gripping onto my shoulders.
"Fuck you!" I yell at him as I punch him hard in the chest crying and then in wrap my arms around him as hard as I can.
"I'm back baby." He whispers his hand pressed against my head in a way to keep himself closer to me.
The moment is way to precious to ruin, in this tight confined space I find myself in between Cameron's legs as he latches himself to me.
"Shall we go?" He asks and I shake my head, no.
"I'm sorry," He speaks up and I look at him shocked. "I got angry in a way I didn't know how to handle myself, it just brought back unwanted memories and the thought of you carrying my child just added a whole new level of emotions and stress."
"It's okay" I tell him as his fingers cup my face so my whole attention is focused on him.
"Is this my second chance?" he smirks.
"Second more like millionth" I laugh.
"Okay Mel I think it's time to take you home, I've missed you in ways you can't imagine." He whispers his voice deep and raspy.
"I've already missed out on so much because of you! I will not miss out on any more." I tell him standing my ground.
"I'm truly offended Miss Spence" he shakes his head, "I mean I was going to set up some fondue for two."
"Fondue? as in chocolate and extras..."
"As in Belgium chocolate and the softest marshmallows that you could ever get but of course I would be eating it all alone" He shrugs, "nude." He mutters the last bit.
Oh how to make a girl happy in one scenario..
"How fast can you get home?" I question and he laughs, "Looks like I still have the powers to sweep you off your feet."
He stands up straighter and grabs my arm as he pulls me out of the closet and towards the exit of the doors to his car that is parked illegally at the front.
"How was your get away?" I ask once we make it a couple of streets away from the college.
"Frustrating" he answers and I don't want to know why.
As we make it a couple of streets towards his place my phone rings in my pocket, it's my mother.
"You should answer it." Cameron tells me from beside me as he looks over the contact name.
"Hello?" I answer.
"Glad to hear my only child is still alive." She states and I close my eyes as I take in a deep breath.
"What can I do for you mother?" I ask her wanting to get this call out of the way.
"As you are probably aware Christmas is very soon and I'm inviting you to come and celebrate with us." She informs me and I look over at Cameron who tries to pretend he isn't listening.
"Is this an invite for Cameron as well?"
Cameron's eyes widen like a deer that has been faced with headlights and gives me a terrified look as he moves his fingers side to side in front of his throat signalling me to cut it out.
"No" she says plainly.
"Alyssa!" I hear my father call my mothers name.
My mother huffs before continuing, "Well I guess he can come, but you stay at our home without him!"
Do it for the peace..
"Okay mom that will be perfectly I guess I will call you once everything is finalised." I put a fake tone on as I speak to her and Cameron pulls into the underground car space.
"Im going to break a leg so I can't go!" Cameron tells me as we get into the elevator.
"Your going if you like it or not, we have to show her that were serious."
"I'm going to get attached if I even breath around you!" He freaks out.
"Be a man!" I laugh and he shakes his head.
"How are we meant to live separately!" He almost yells as we enter the living room.
"Looks like we're going to have to sneak around.." I trail off as I make my way towards him, pulling his jacket off slowly.
"I like the sound of that.." He smirks against my lips as his hand hold my face in place as his lips work against mine perfectly taking every moment slowly as he carries me to his room.
He oddly lights the decorating candles that I have placed as decorations around the room. "Is this what you want? Romance?"
I shake my head as he pulls his shirt of and hovers on top of me, "I want you in every way that you come."
"We'll Miss Spence I hope that I can make up for my absence.."
He pours out his love out for me the rest of the afternoon and most of the night, my fingers weirdly scrap themselves against his back letting what he made me fell onto his back and that came the stained sheets that freaked me out but assured me that it was fine and he felt nothing but his undying love for me.
The last thing I hear before I drift off into a peaceful sleep is his rough texture voice against my earlobe breath out the words that have a curse on me. "I love you.. Always"
.
The next morning I feel as if I'm on cloud nine, Cameron has his reasons for the way he is and I accept him like he accepts my flaws that are both physical and mentally.
"Favourite colour?" He asks me as I sit on the island bench as he stands in between my legs.
"Black, it just holds a mystery I guess" I smile bitting my lip as he gives me a side smirked expression.
"That's copy right I would have you know!" He informs me as his fingers crawl up and down my bare thigh but his eyes mould into mine.
"Favourite song?" He then asks.
"Why'd you only call when you were high by the artic monkeys."
"Is than an in direct to me!" He gasps and I laugh as his fingers move under my arm throwing me into hysterical laughter.
"Okay I'm sorry what is your favourite feature or me?" I then ask him hoping he won't abuse me with his fingers any longer.
"Hmm let me see.." He mumbles as his fingers trace along my neck moving my hair out of the way as he hitches his face towards the already raw skin.
"It would have to be out of two..." His voice is muffled against my neck as he slowly kisses it up and down slowly tracing it with his tongue and softly blowing, leaving me in an almost pant.
"Your lips.." He breaths against my mouth without moving his lips, "there so prominent and full."
His finger than moves to my temples when he massages my tense muscle as his other fingers moe over my eyes. "Then there is your eyes, there my favourite they hold so much open emotion that you hardly let out."
He then sneakily lowers my straps down my shoulder and kisses my exposed skin making me shutter under his touch, "Your so beautiful Melissa, I could get lost in your presence if I let myself."
My breathing hitches in its irregular fast pace as his lips met mine and I quickly love them in sync before he tries to tease me any longer. As I grab a fist full of his hair and pull his closer to me I feel his phone vibrate in his pocket.
I pull away breathless as he makes his way back to my neck distracting me all over again, I tilt my head back and let him take over but as the tone gets higher I use every bone and fibre of my being to pull away and let him take his call.
He smirks once he gets off the short phone call, "Got to run babe."
"Oh that's right you kiss and tell." I joke and he kisses me lightly as he picks up his jacket and makes his way out the door, blowing me one more kiss as he leaves.
And that's how it continued for most of the time, he left me breathless each morning and most of the time. Probably worried about that he will screw up again or lose me in a way he won't even get to resolve.
As life somehow moves smoothly with no bumps in the road or unusual action from either Cameron or I, it beckons me to consider if this is an act that he is genuinely changed or is going to get sick of his act sooner or later.
