Cameron kept smiling at him, her eyes never torn away from his face.
Just as Bradley was about to turn away, Cameron suddenly threw her arms around his neck and pressed a quick kiss to the corner of his lips. “Goodnight, Brad,” she whispered.
Bradley’s mind went totally blank for a second.
His eyes, behind the gold-rimmed glasses, were wide with shock, but soon glistened with delight. His voice trembled as he called her name “Cam.
Cameron tried to step back, but it was too late. With his hand behind her head, Bradley softly pinning her against the wall. He lowered his head and kissed her on the red lips without hesitation.
The kiss was gentle at first, then grew deeper and more passionate, almost overwhelming Cameron. Even though she’d lived for over a thousand years this was her very first kiss.
Not knowing how long it lasted, Cameron felt breathless and finally pushed Bradley away. “Brad, it’s enough…” Her knees were so weak she could barely stand.
Bradley pressed his nose to hers, his voice hoarse and low. “Cam, you’re really naughty.”
Cameron giggled, her eyes sparkling. “I was just teasing. Seriously, it’s really late, and I need some sleep now.”
But Bradley couldn’t resist it and lowered his head to plant another peck on her lips.
Cameron pouted, “Brad, that’s enough, okay?”
At this rate, things might really get out of hand tonight. So she quickly made her escape.
Cameron quickly turned away, opened the door, and switched on the light. But in the next instant, she was completely stunned.
Her room was empty of furniture. ‘Didn’t the butler say the bed was already made up?’ she thought, confused. ‘Why is there nothing on my bed? Could it be that he made the bed in Bradley’s room instead?’
Bradley caught on too. “How come the bed’s not made?”
Cameron said, “I’ll do it myself.”
But after searching the entire room, Cameron didn’t know what to do because she couldn’t find any bedclothes.
Bradley said, “I’ll ask the butler to come up.”
He went directly to the butler’s room and knocked on the door, but there was no response. At this time of night, the butler was already sound asleep.
Cameron said, “Brad, let’s go see if your room is ready.”
Bradley looked at her in surprise. “Wait, my room?”
Cameron replied with a helpless smile, “What else am I supposed to do? Crash on the floor?”
Bradley shook his head immediately. “Of course not.”
So the two of them made their way to Bradley’s room together, opened the door and turned on the light. His king-size bed came into view-perfectly made up, not a wrinkle in sight.
Cameron was speechless. ‘Of course. I totally saw this coming,’ she thought.
Bradley glanced at her. “Cam, looks like the butler only made up one bed for us, huh?”
He figured the butler must’ve seen how intimate they were in the living room and just assumed they’d be spending the night together.
Cameron’s eyes swept around the room as she shrugged. “Looks like I’ll have to crash on the couch then.”
Bradley’s eyes dimmed. “No.”
“Why not?”
“You take the bed. I’ll sleep on the couch.”
“You’re way too tall for that couch-there’s no way you’ll fit.”
“It’s just for tonight, I’ll make do.”.
Cameron nodded. “Alright then, I’m gonna get washed.”
“Come on, let’s go wash up together,” Bradley said, taking her hand with their fingers intertwined naturally. Cameron looked at him, her lips curling into a smile.
When they got to the bathroom, there were two sets of toiletries waiting for them on the edge of the sink. The butler indeed had assumed they were staying together.
Bradley took out the toothbrush, rinsed it off first, then squeezed some toothpaste onto it for Cameron before handing it over.
“Thanks,” Cameron said.
Bradley reached out to ruffle her hair gently before unpacking his own toiletry bag.
As they brushed their teeth side by side, Cameron’s short hair slipped from behind her ear. Instinctively, Bradley reached over and tucked it back behind her ear.
Even though it was his first time doing something like that, he did it so smoothly that one’d think he’d done it many times.
Noticing that, Cameron raised her eyebrow slightly. After they finished washing up, they headed back to the room.
Bradley glanced at the khaki dress Cameron was wearing and asked, “Cam, wanna change into some pajamas?”
He then went to open up the walk-in closet, revealing a bunch of his clothes hanging neatly inside, which were washed and aired by the butler regularly. So they were always fresh and clean.
Bradley took out one of his robes, yet it was way too long for Cameron to wear that he frowned slightly at it.
But Cameron just picked out a short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of athletic shorts from the closet. “I’ll make do with them.”
They looked super baggy on her, so they’d totally work as pajamas for tonight.
Cameron went into the bathroom to change clothes before coming out again in no time.
Bradley was 6 feet 2 inches tall, while Cameron was 5 feet 9 inches in height. Besides, he was much more built than she was.
So his clothes were quite loose when she put them on. The T-shirt almost covered her thighs, while the athletic shorts were still just shorts on her. Even though everything looked oversize, Cameron somehow made it look effortlessly cut?.
Bradley was unable to tear his eyes away from her. “Cam, you’re gorgeous.”
Cameron grinned, “Brad, it’s getting late. Go change your clothes-I’m going to bed.” She was honestly wiped out now.
Bradley couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at her before grabbing his pajamas to get dressed.
By the time he came out, the main lights in the room were off, leaving only a wall lamp casting a soft glow, perfect for sleeping. Bradley took a thin blanket from the closet and spread it out on the couch.
Hearing the noise, Cameron called softly, “Brad, sorry you have to put up with this tonight.”
Bradley smiled, “Cam, it doesn’t matter. Just being able to see you when I open my eyes makes me really happy.”
Hugging her blanket, Cameron looked at him in the dim light. “Me too,
Brad.”
AIL
Completely at case, Cameron felt secure and protected when she was with Bradley, like nothing in the world could shake her.
“Goodnight, Cam,” Bradley said softly.
“Goodnight, Brad,” Cameron murmured.
“Cam…” Bradley gazed at her, a little hopeful. “Can I get one more kiss?”
But there was no reply. Silence filled the room, and all Bradley could hear was the sound of Cameron’s quiet breathing. Turned out she’d already drifted off to sleep.
Bradley couldn’t help but give a doting smile as he whispered, “Goodnight, Cam.”
Bradley wasn’t the least bit tired. Lying on the couch, he was so tall that it was way too small for him-his calves dangled awkwardly off the side, cramped as hell.
But Bradley couldn’t stop smiling. He was really delighted because Cam finally said yes to being his girlfriend today.
Everything was just so perfect, it felt like a dream. But Bradley knew he wasn’t dreaming. It really happened.
He was so happy he couldn’t sleep at all. So he grabbed his phone and started texting his family. Everyone else was already asleep, but Eddie texted him back right away.
Eddie: [Brad, I’m really happy for you. You and Cameron missed each other for seven years, but now you’re together again. That’s just awesome.]
Bradley: [Thanks, Eddie. Why aren’t you asleep at this time of night?]
Eddie: [Can’t sleep.]
Bradley: [Eddie, still dwell on it?]
Eddie didn’t reply.
Bradley: [Eddie, you’ve already paid for your mistakes. Maybe it’s time to let yourself off the hook, isn’t it?]
