“I'm glad you accepted the invitation, I'm always glad to see you, you know?” Andy serves Camille a glass of champagne.
“I think you've always seen me, since what happened, we've seen each other almost daily- Camille takes a sip of the glass”.
“I know, but this time is different, you don't know the deep desire that I had to share with you, I don't know when it could be the last time that happens, what has happened lately has shown me that the few moments that we share with the people we love matter more than anything in this world, you should never waste even the last second, that's why I'm actually glad to see you”.
Camille smiles at him, she also loved every moment that she was by his side, the flame of love was still alive and had always been present.
“Andy, do you love me? Do you love me despite everything we've had to live through? of my multiple rejections? Of all the times I've denied because you're by my side?”
“That is exactly why I love you, there is not a woman in the world who can occupy the place you have in my heart and although I know that we are only friends and that between the two of us there may never be a relationship again, my feelings for you do not go to change, they will never, because you are what I love the most, I am happy by your side, but I must understand that perhaps I cannot have your love again”.
“And if I tell you that I feel the same? What would happen?” Camille begins to play with the mouth of the cup, although she was predisposed by the traumas of her, she was dying to be happy with Andy
“What would happen? ... hmm, only what makes you really happy and what makes you really comfortable would happen, I don't want to pressure you, but if you loved me and were with me, I would be the happiest man in the world, I would promise that everything I did wrong in his timing would make it better, you know? You are a spectacular woman; I can say that you are the best woman in the world that I have met in my life”
“Andy I really don't know what to tell you, when we tried, things didn't work out between the two of us, a lot of bad things had to happen for us to realize that we really loved each other, and I feel like it's not the right way to do things”.
“No, of course it's not the right way to do things, maybe I love you in a different way, not the way any human being with their five senses would, because I don't consider myself the most appropriate person to talk in what way one should love, my experiences have only been a disaster and I mean that with you it was no exception” when he says that, Camille simply shakes her head, she knew what kind of experiences he was referring to.
“If I'm honest, if there is someone who can define a version of love incorrectly, it is me, there is nothing to reproach, you have loved me with such intensity, that my pride has not wanted to see beyond my own nose, but I don't know if I still have time to claim things with you, you are the only man I want to be with, not just one night, many nights of my life, to be able to wake up next to you and remind you how much I love you” Andy raises his head and stares at her with eyes of love, Camille's words had revived her hopes, but he did not want to be confused
“Of course you still have time, but I don't know exactly what you want to tell me” Andy takes the entire sip of his drink, he was nervous, he felt as if it were the first date he had with a woman, with the woman he liked, the Butterflies in her stomach were present, and she didn't even know how to react, at that moment a soft song sounded, and Camille extended her hand to her.
“Come, let's dance. Do you know how long I haven't danced?” he gets up and takes it
“I don't know, I really suppose it will be the same time as me, I think the last person I danced with was with you” Camille smiles at him mischievously, they both head to the dance floor, they were looking at each other and between the two had undeniable chemistry, they just needed time to heal their hearts.
He hugs her sweetly and does not take his eyes off her, for a moment Camille's cheeks blush, she barely blinks, Andy's passionate look intimidates her, and all that remains is to put her head on his chest, he hugs her tight while The melody still plays, they were short minutes, but they were the most dedicated, this time both were needing the love that the other could give them.
As the song ends, Camille lifts her head from his chest and leans over on her toes, and before Andy's expectant gaze, she places her lips on his and begins to kiss him fervently, she has no idea how long that kiss lasted. , their tongues were intertwined, and their champagne breath gave a special flavor to that kiss.
Andy takes her by the waist and hugs her even tighter, he felt that she was getting more into his heart and although it was uncertain how many times, he would kiss her from now on, he did not want to end that sweet kiss, it was the most precious gift that Camille I had been able to give him in a long time.
The lights in the place came on, illuminating her eyes abruptly, Camille separates from Andy, leaving him almost with a kiss on the mouth and smiles.
“I think the night ended in this place” a waiter approaches and tells them that the doors have already closed, they both laugh out loud, because they were the only ones who were still in the place and on the dance floor, but they were giving each other love and that was all that mattered at that moment.
“Well miss ibis, I want you to give me an explanation, that kiss so sudden and delicious, but above all passionate, what does it mean?” Andy wants to break the awkward moment they were going through because of the shame of kissing on the track, she squeezes his hand and looks at him tenderly.
“I don't know, what do you think it could mean?”
“What can I put a security camera in your apartment and in your office?” Andy responds with a mocking tone, but Camille gives him a small blow to the arm and makes an angry face.
“NO! Of course not, it means that maybe we could try dating, but this time as boyfriends- when she says those words to Andy, he throws himself on her again and they melt into another passionate kiss, it had been a long time since he tasted his lips, without Being able to desire her body and swallow that whole feeling, he wanted to hold her in his arms and show her how much he loved her, but he didn't just want to do it physically, he wanted to be the one to take care of her, love her and take her up to heaven as many times as necessary”.
“I love you Andy, I know it's been a long time since everything happened, but I don't feel fully prepared, I want to be honest with you”.
“I love your sincerity; it is one of the things that I appreciate the most in life my dear Camille”.
“I want to be with you, I want to give myself the opportunity to finally be happy and be by your side, but I want us to be careful, to show ourselves that if we are going to try things, we do it in the best way and with all the respect in the world. , I've gotten a little used to my freedom and my personal spaces, it doesn't mean at any time that your presence bothers me, otherwise I'm the happiest woman in the world when you simply sit down to watch television in my living room, but I want you to Let's keep things that way for now- Andy looks at her, and although he nods not very pleased, he knew that she had also made serious mistakes in the past that had hurt her, and that this would be her last and only chance to be happy”.
“Okay my love, I want you to be at peace and be very happy, and of course if I can be by your side to see you fulfilled and fully satisfied with what you have, you don't know how good you would do me” He kisses her hand as they go out to the car.
“Thank you, really thank you, I couldn't be more grateful for the way you love me, I couldn't feel better and more complete because you are giving me everything and I admire that very much about you”.
“Of course Camille I always want and I will be there for you, because there is no person in the world who loves you more than I want to love you, I want you to be the owner of everything that belongs to me, not only my material goods, I want you to be the owner of my life, my heart and even the last of my thoughts”.
“You too, I think of you, from the moment I get up until I go to bed, you are the only thing I think about, and my life would really have no meaning if you were not by my side” she hugs him, at that moment a taxi passes, and he leaves. goes.
