Leah's POV

When I woke up Saturday, I was so sad. I really didn't want to leave T for that long. Yes, it maybe was until Sunday evening, but I'd miss her so so much!

I turned around in T's arms to look at T and saw her already smiling at me. See what I mean? How could I possibly wake up tomorrow without that beautiful smile, those sparkling eyes and those perfect lips?

"Good morning, baby." T said soft and kissed me, pulling me closer to her.

"Good morning, baby." I said and buried my face in her chest, holding her closer. "I don't want to go to my parents' house."

T sighed but held me close. "It's only until tomorrow evening, and I'll come and pick you up." she said, making me look at her.

"Really?"

T nodded and smiled.

I smiled, that's something good. I can already imagine T in her car, picking me up... Suddenly I thought about Cam. "No, you can't."

T's eyebrows raised. "What do you mean, I can't?"

I looked down, knowing T won't like what I have to say. "Cam will be there."

"The whole weekend?" she asked a little louder than normal, she was jealous.

I nodded. "We have this project together and - "

"Project? Why haven't you told me?"

I looked at her, caressing her face. "It'll only be this weekend, we'll work on it and I'll be back home tomorrow evening." I said and kissed her lips.

T sighed deep. "Look, I don't mind you two being friends, because I know how much you two mean to each other... But she's still in love with you and trying to win you over. It hurts me because I can't fight for you. I can't go to her and tell her you're mine."

"But I can."

She looked at me, she seemed surprised.

"I'll tell her I'm in a relationship, I'd do anything to make you feel better. Baby, I love you."

She smiled and scooted even closer, if that was even possible. "I love you too." she said and so we kissed again.

We stayed in bed until I had to leave to my parents' house, T wanted to give me a ride, but I didn't want that. What if Cam saw her?

I walked to my house and thought back about my idea, for my new book. I looked around, remembering how it'll look when it's dark. I definitely had an idea for the book but it wasn't complete yet.

I arrived home and unlocked the door, I entered and when I turned around to close the door, I nearly got a heart attack.

"Cam! What the hell! Don't scare me like that!"

She laughed. "Hey, it's just me, who else could it be?" she asked as she entered my house.

I tried catching my breath and closed the door. I walked to the living room, to Cam.

"So, where were you this morning?" she asked, she seemed suspicious.

"Why do you ask?" I asked as I sat down in front of her.

She looked at me, giving me a look, she knows I was hiding something. "Well you weren't here an hour ago."

"You've been here before?"

She nodded. "Twice actually. No one was home until now. Third time lucky I guess."

"Wait, you've been here three times? Why didn't you just call?"

She shrugged. "I thought you were at home, I rang the doorbell, I looked through your window and nothing, no one was here."

"You looked through my window?!"

She nodded, having no shame at all. "So where were you?"

"You looked through my window?!" I really didn't want to let this one slide.

Cam stood up and walked to me, caressing my face. "Love, I've seen you naked before. So I don't think there's anything to worry about, is there?"

"That was two years ago!" I said and groaned. "Cam, you have to stop following me, stop obsessing and stop calling me your love! I'm..." and there I stopped, I really wanted to tell her I was in a relationship... But I couldn't. I knew it would hurt her and I didn't want that.

"You're what?"

I pulled her hand away from my face. "I'm tired of this, Cam." I said soft. "Please, stop following me. It's creepy and unnecessary."

She looked away. "So... For our project I thought we could use this building." she said and took a book. It's so Cam to change subjects when it's about something she doesn't like...

"Cam!" mom said, arms wide open for Cam. They hugged for awhile until dad came too.

"It's nice to see you again." he said and hugged her too.

"It's nice to be here again." she said and looked at me to which my parents looked at me.

"So, you two are - "

"No!" I immediately said, I didn't want any more people asking me that question. "We're not back together and we won't be in the future."

"Leah!" mom said, raising her voice. "Poor Cam, you're just making her upset when she's standing right here." she said as she caressed Cam's arm, as if comforting her.

I groaned and walked away, taking Cam's stuff. I walked back to her. "Well, I suppose we'll meet up tomorrow again."

Cam nodded and wanted to leave until mom stopped her. "Why don't you stay over tonight?"

My mouth dropped.

"Yeah, it's getting dark outside, we wouldn't want anything bad happening to you." dad said.

I rubbed my eyes, this isn't happening!

"That's really nice of you two, but I really don't want to be any trouble."

"You'd never be, sweetie." mom said, pulled Cam inside and closed the door. "You're just staying the night, it'll be easier too for you two tomorrow."

"I'll call your parents now to tell them." dad said.

I was watching this all, mouth dropped, why?!

"And you can stay in Leah's room, with her. If that's alright for you." she said to Cam.

Cam looked at me and smiled. "That'll be fun, right my love?"

My mom looked at us, she seemed so happy. "Aww, Leah, she's calling you her love. You have to take her back, come on."

I glared at my mom. I really don't think it'll be a good idea, having Cam sleep next to me. I don't even want to know what she'll be doing when I'm asleep...

I shook those thoughts away, she's my best friend. "Fine, she can stay over."

Cam and my mom smiled, they were definitely hoping I'd take Cam back. No way, I had T. This was going to be a very annoying night...
