Kevin, but in his opinion, it was the logical step. Of course he could not voice that at the present moment, so he continued to prepare dinner and simply listened. A smiled crossed his face when Camille came out showered and looking refreshed in her white terry cloth boy shorts and tank. She was also on her mobile device, no doubt listening to Paige’s version of the drama. Ben gave Camille a wink and she blew a kiss his way and sat down, at her eat in kitchen table.
Camille was getting comfortable with the way Ben catered to her. He was so attentive. She just wanted to enjoy the moment with him but best friend duty called. Camille could not believe Paige had been arrested for attacking Mrs. Michelson. But then, why did Mrs. Michelson have such a problem with Paige? She had never done anything to Camille’s knowledge to warrant being spit on, literally. Camille said, “thank you Ben,” as he sat her plate down and Paige stopped mid-sentence.
“Camille, why didn’t you tell me Ben was over there? I will talk to you later.” Before Camille could object, ‘called ended’ appeared on her phone’s screen. Apparently, Ben had the same fate with his conversation as she had, because he placed his mobile device on the table and said “shall we say grace?” That was another trait Camille adored about Benjamin, his commitment to his faith. They both had renewed their lives with Christ and had begun the journey of healing together, for the bodies, minds, and souls. The last few months seemed like an eternity and that is what gave Camille pause. It was all moving so fast and she was so caught up in it. She feared it was too good, too fast, to last.
“Penny for your thoughts” Ben said breaking her out of her thoughts.
Camille chuckled and said, “just thinking about how fast we have been moving, and if we should slow down.”
Ben frowned, “Cam I am not rushing you into anything am I?”
Camille knew she had started this dinner off wrong because of her fears. She had to make it right. “Of course you haven’t Benjamin, it’s just, I have always been independent, with my dad being overseas. Now after just a few months, I find myself not just wanting you to confirm every decision I make, I feel like I need your approval.” Camille dropped her head and picked up her fork and starting digging into her salad avoiding Ben’s gaze.
“Camille, look at me.” Ben said sternly. Camille lifted her brown eyes up to his, with a look of an adorable little girl. “Camille when something is real, it does not take forever to know. I dated Lauren for seven years and could not commit to her. Did I love her? Yes, I always will. However, I knew deep down it was not the real thing, that would last for the rest of my life. In one night, as tragic as it was, I felt it with you.” He reached for hands and she quickly gave them. “Cam we can slow down if you want, because you have to feel this too. However, I don’t need any more proof, that you are my missing rib. Camille James, I am willing to wait seven years plus seven more, if that is what it takes for you to feel we are meant to be.” He kissed the inside palm of both her hands and began eating his food.
Camille set there stunned in her seat. She literally could not move; those words were felt in her soul. She only moved when Ben said “Cam, Sweetie, eat your dinner. We will move at your pace.”
Camille ate her food and thought to herself, “What a Man,” and although she was not ready to verbally admit it, she felt it too. She was Benjamin George Adams’, missing rib. They continued their meal, discussing current events and their best friends’ breakup. They both thought the breakup was for the best but they both knew Kevin and Paige were not done yet. They vowed to one another, to not let their friend’s mess of a relationship, filter into their
