Camille:

If someone were to ask me when I realized just how smart Daniel was, the answer wouldn’t be when I heard he was the top of his law class back at Oxford, the fact that he had so many successful cases to his name in two countries nor the fact that he had learned an entire recipe from watching me once.

I realized just how smart Daniel was on that fateful night we sat down to see a horror movie in the living room together.

“Oh my god!” I yelled, jumping and hiding my face in Daniel’s chest when the deadly looking villain appeared behind the main character on Tv holding a chainsaw.

“Ssh shh,” Daniel placated me, rubbing my back slightly. “It’s just a movie.” I could hear the silent laughter he was holding back.

“How are you not moved by any of this?” I asked, peeking out from his chest but burying my face back there when that creature from hell appeared back on the screen once again.

“If I’m moved by any of this, how on earth would I protect you?” He asked me, th

    Camille: Waking up next to Daniel was nothing short of blissful. He was sound asleep with his mouth slightly open, but his grip around me was tighter than ever. I stayed put watching him sleep, admiring what was mine. God, he was handsome. That was a fact I never forgot but I unfortunately took for granted sometimes. I let a hand stray across his chest, then down to his abs which I counted with my fingertips. It was bright now, a new day. I would have to go out and meet everything I’d escaped from the day before, but for now, I would savor the only thing that was going well for me. My boyfriend. My hand must have tickled him because he woke up with a start shortly after. He smiled when he saw me and held me even tighter, practically squeezing me before planting a deep kiss on my lips. “Morning, baby,” he greeted. “How was your night?” I pretended to think. “I had a very vivid wet dream last night,” I said. “Hmm,” he said, looking lost in thought as well. “So did

    Camille: “Where are you going?” Daniel asked me when I started to get up. “To see what’s happening out there…” He gave me a quizzical look. “What’s happening out there?” I sighed. “Your eyes are puffy. You need some rest.” I shook my head. “My mom…” “…will be fine. I spoke with her before I came here and told her you’d see her tomorrow. Think of yourself first. You’re in no condition to meet anyone. When you feel better by tomorrow you can spend as much time as you can with her, guilt free.” I nodded. It was probably for the best. Seeing my mom in that moment would only probably make me to cry some more and unpack some things from my past which I really wasn’t ready to deal with. Besides I felt sleepy. After having a shower and changing into my night dress, Daniel bade me goodbye. “What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked, fear coming over me all over again. “I don’t have a room any longer, remember,” he said as he covered me with the duvet on my bed

    Camille: “Did I say something wrong?” My mom asked with a note of apprehension in her voice. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse. How was I going to explain my way out of this one? Even if I did, there would always be some level of tension between my mom and Lucia. What perfect timing for my mom to finally meet her. “She hasn’t been too well,” I said the first thing that popped up in my head. My mom gave me a questioning look. “You mean she’s sick in the head?” She asked with a high pitched voice and her face angled to the side, like she wanted Lucia to hear everything she said. “Because it sure does seem like it.” Every chance I had at reconciling them flew out of the window. My mom was the sweetest woman I’d ever met and I didn’t say that just because she was my mom. She was sweet and looked unassuming, but she could be a beast if she didn’t like you. I was afraid of that happening. “That’s not what she meant,” Daniel said. His jaw was tense. No

    Camille: “Hey,” I said when I saw Lucia behind the door. She had a deep frown on her face and wouldn’t look at me, as if the very idea of seeing my face would send her over the edge. “My mom is here,” I said curtly. I moved away when she didn’t respond. I wished we hadn’t had that big fight just before my mom came around. I wished Lucia still had ward duty. I wished she would just suck it up and act cool knowing my mom was here. I wasn’t ready to answer my mom’s questions when she got curious. Daniel gave me a questioning look as I returned to the dining room. He rubbed my hand when I sat down beside him, assuring me that everything was okay. I wished I could believe him and stop fidgeting. My actions were only going to make my mom suspicious. Lucia came in about a minute later. The smile, or rather the grimace on her face made her seem like she had been punched and forced to smile through the pain. There was an awkward silence when she walked to the dining room and s

    Camille: Hearing him say that wasn’t sweet. It was… quite sad. I admitted I had been selfish in the past because I never saw things from his point of view. It had always been about my feelings; me being disgusted with myself and angry at him for tricking me into sleeping with him. There was always an argument, with me storming off afterwards. Before now, I hadn’t tried to imagine how all of that made him feel. How could the man who was supposed to be my boyfriend be thanking me for not bashing him and regretting my actions after sleeping with him? That was such a low bar. “Hey, hey,” he said when he noticed my face had fallen. He placed his both hands on my shoulders and peered into them with worry. “I didn’t say that to make you feel bad. You had every right to react the way you did in the past, babe. I’m just happy you trust me now.” “Ok,” I said into his chest with a muffled voice. “Cami…,” I jumped when I heard my mother call my name. Her voice sounded so c

    Camille: I swallowed and shut my eyes involuntarily. It was crazy how easily he turned me on. Daniel’s eyes went a step further from caressing the length of hands, to my shoulders and neck, then down to my chest. This time, his fingers tapped lightly, feathery on my skin. It almost felt like a spa session. From my chest, his hand slid down till it was navel level. He hesitated there, as though asking permission. I knew consent was really important, but sometimes I wondered why he bothered. My body always wanted him. I bucked my butt backward, hitting him. He had to know that was a yes. He cupped my butt with his free hand, taking me by surprise because I didn’t even realize his other hand had been there. I gasped and reflexively jerked forward, but his uncertain hand held me taut against him. “Easy there, girlfriend,” he whispered in my ear. His deep sultry voice sent a ripple down my body. Like that wasn’t enough, he lightly bit my earlobe before spreading kis
