Part 29

Lily's POV

Keep em' closed." Cam instructs.

My eyes are closed. I hold Cam's hand as he leads me to the secret place.

Clunk creak clunk creak. My feet shuffle across the ground. "Step down, Lily watch your step-" Cam tries to warn but too late.

I trip and a squeal escapes me.

"Woah!" Cam yells.

Two arms under my stomach protect me from my fall. I giggle. "Thanks Cam." I say. He helps me stand upright again. "Can I open my eyes now?"I ask.

"A few more steps..." Cam answers. The substance on the ground sinks every time I step . "Okay- open." Cam says.

My eyelids flitter open. A sandy ground. A large red cloth spread on it. Lanterns like the ones from Tangled surround the area and are the only source of light aside from the dazzling sunset. I gasp at the sight of the beautiful set up. "Cam this is amazing!" I exclaim as he leads me to the cloth.

"You like it?" He asks.

"Like it? I love it!" I reply. We both sit down criss cross. Immediately, I can't resist singing the song. "Criss Cross, applesauce, hands in the bowl!"

Cam starts laughing and so do I. "I'm sorry that was weird..." I say.

Can waves it away. "Eh, no biggie. I have a thing for weird, brown haired-hazel eyed girls."

I giggle in the kind of way where it's like a chainsaw and gradually the pitch gets higher. It makes Cam smile.

I never realized how much I liked his smile, how genuine it was and that it sends the message of love.

As the night goes on, we end up laying on the blanket, my head resting on his chest and his arm around me. "Lily?" Cam begins.

"Yeah?" I reply. I snuggle my head deeper into his chest.

"Right here, with you, there's nowhere else I'd rather be. I could be with you like this forever. I don't know how to explain the feeling, but it's just there and it's incredible, Ya know?"

I sigh, in pure bliss. "I know. I could be with you forever and a day. "

I debate wether or not to say it. But it's been too long since I've expressed the feeling, even if it was only a few hours or so ago. But u don't care... I need to tell him every chance I get.

I just let it out. "I love you so much."

"I love you too,Lily."

And all felt right in the world. No worries, just Cam and I in the whole wonderful world.

Everything seems clear. For now. And at this moment, it's good enough for me.
