Meant To Be You And Me

CHAPTER 18 - This Is It

CHAPTER 18 - This Is It

The next morning when Jeff woke up, he sees Camille comfortably nestled in his chest as his arm was around her. He smiled thinking that he'd miss waking up next to her, smelling her hair, and watching her sleep so sound.

When Jeff slowly moved, Camille wakes up and looks up to him, "Now this is just weird." She joked and Jeff giggled. "I know we haven't spooned like this since three years ago, I think?" Jeff replied. She smiled at him, "Anyways, last night was amazing." She said. "Yeah?" He teased. "I liked what you did to me." She replied with a laugh. "I've had a little practice." He said and they both laugh and she slaps his chest playfully.

Jeff got up and walked to the bathroom, "I kinda like this view." She said as she ooked at Jeff's naked behind. He laughs and goes to his bathroom and washed his face. Then he put on his boxer briefs and went out to his kitchen. Camille does the same and joins Jeff outside.

Jeff looks at Camille as she sits on the stool and leans on the counter, "I think my shirt looks better on you." He flirts. "Hmmm I was thinking of keeping it too." She said with a wink. Jeff prepares heating the pan, "Do you want eggs and bacon, my dear?" He asked. Camille laughs, "I can't concentrate on your bare chest and chiseled arms, can you wear something more appropriate?" She blushed.

He laughed, shut the electric stove off, walked towards her, kissed her and starts to unbutton her shirt. "What're you doing?" She asked while Jeff nibbled on her neck. "You told me to wear something more appropriate," he paused. "I'm taking my shirt back." He whispered.

He starts to undress her and she wraps her arms around him, "We seriously gotta eat." She whispered. Jeff continues to smother her with kisses, she wraps her legs around him and he carries her to the bedroom and they make love again.

By the time it was 10:30 AM they both really needed to eat so instead of eating in, they went out to have brunch at Bubby's in Tribeca and had a blast. They ordered some freshly brewed coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, eggs and bacon and some salad. While eating, the two of them couldn't stop looking at each other; it was like they got their spark back.

"So tell me, which one did you pick?" He asked as he sips his coffee. "Oh whatever do you mean?" She asked. "NYU or Columbia?" He asked and then looked at her. She ate her salad and their eyes meet, "I'm gonna be teaching at Columbia." She said and Jeff laughs, "Oh my god! No way!" He said. "I already chose it beforehand so you can't do anything about it." She said with a smile. He kisses her cheek and whispers, "I won't." And they continue to eat.

"Is it okay if we teach in the same school?" She asked. "Maybe. Because we're not living together so when we both go back to our homes we won't have that much stress and baggage. I only teach three classes that are all in the morning so we don't really see each other..." He got cut off. "So you're saying you don't wanna see me around Columbia?" She asked. Jeff reaches for her hand, "of course I wanna see you around, but I don't think we'll see each other because of my crazy schedule." He said but Camille was just silent.

"Cam why does it seem like you're mad at me?" He asked. "Because I wanna see you." She said. "I wanna make up for lost time, I wanna make an effort." She added. Jeff smiled and held her hand, "Cam, we don't necessarily have to see each other everyday in campus or every night for me to know that you're making an effort. I have two jobs and I know you're trying hard as much as I am. We can make it work." He said sincerely and she smiled.

After brunch they went to Central Park and strolled around. They talked and laughed all day, feeling like a couple again.

"I'm telling you, that day we went to Aspen with Chase and Tiffany was one of the most awkward trips ever." Jeff recalled and Camille laughed. Then they reach the Bethesda Fountain and leaned on the railings, "Speaking of Chase isn't that him right there?" Camille said pointing at the Bethesda Fountain which Chase was sitting on. "Do you wanna go say hi?" She asked.
