“I think I’ll put a bucket next to her bed just in case,” Cam says as she heads out of Maisey’s room.
Knowing that Cam thinks about these things just proves how great of a mother she will be to Maisey. Cam loves me and she loves Maisey. Even if this engagement is fake, I have no doubt that one day she will be my wife. With that thought an idea forms in my head.
“I’ve got the bucket,” Cam returns with a small blue bucket which she places by Maisey’s beside.
“That was very kind of you,” I say, wrapping my arms around her waist as we look at Maisey.
“It’s what my mom would do for me when I was sick.”
A knot forms in my throat. Cam doesn’t talk about her family much but I know she must miss them.
“Do you miss your family?” I ask.
Cam shrugs.
“My mom and I were close but I pushed everyone away when I was with Johnny, which made it easier to drop everything and run when things got too much. I think about my mom somedays. I actually sent her a letter shortly after getting this job to let her know I was alive and safe.”
“That’s good, I’m sure she appreciated that.”
“Yeah, but that life is in the past. My life is here with you and Maisey now,” Cam says as she leans into my embrace.
We stand there, Cam in my arms, for a few minutes before I pull away and lead us into the living room. I’m eager to share my ideas with her.
“What’s on your mind?” Cam asks after a minute on the couch.
“What do you mean?”
“You’ve got your thinking cap on.”
A loud laugh bursts through me, “You always know what I’m thinking.”
“That’s what girlfriends are for.”
“You’re right.”
I look deep into Cam’s eyes.
“Spend the weekend with me?”
Cam scrunches her face.
“Don’t you work Saturday?”
“I’m taking off,” I announce, determined.
“What do you want to do?”
“I want to spoil you and whisk you away from New York City,” I confess.
“What about Maisey?”
“The organization can send someone for the weekend. They’ve done it before. Come on Cam, be spontaneous with me.”
Cam looks away and scrunches her lips before turning back to me, “Okay.”
I tackle her and place kisses all over her face. She has no idea what I have planned for us and I cannot wait to show her just how lavishly I can treat a woman.
