Looking for Narnia

New World

*3 years later*

"Hey babe, happy 19th birthday!" I heard a familiar male voice say.
I was sitting in my apartment couch when I feel him hug me from behind and kiss my cheek.
"Hey, thank you" I say smiling and I turn around to see Peter Pevensie staring back at me with a smile.
I smile widely and blink, when I open my eyes again I see Cameron smiling down at me.
I open my mouth in surprise and disappointment.
"Whats wrong babe?" a 20 year old Cameron said walking close to me and taking my hands in his.
"Uhm... Nothing, it's just that ... Wow! Uhm... I am 19" I say laughing nerviously.
He nods and kisses my lips. I just close my eyes and breathe.
I separate myself from Cameron and walk to the small kitchen. Cameron just stays in the living room and I thank god that he didn't follow me.
Lately I've been having this bad headaches around him. When I see him I see Peter and it hurts even worse.
I lean into the kitchen counter and breathe "1... 2... 3... 4..." I stop counting when I get to ten and open my eyes.
Cameron was leaning in the kitchen stove with his arms crossed and with a worried face.
"Have you gone to the doctor babe?"he says invading my personal space.
I breathe rapidly and push him slightly away from me, I see him clench his fists as he swallows down the rejection.
"Uhmm.... I no, I feel fine, it's just that... Work" I say mumbling.
Cameron just nods and walks back to the living room making no eye contact.
I gulp.
Cameron is... Special.
When he gets mad he starts hitting stuff. He starts with clenching his fists and then clenching his jaw to then start kicking stuff in the floor. That leads to him hitting the wall with his fist, that doesn't end well for him either.
The neighbors have called the police various times for his behavior. You may think, oh he hits her! But no. He doesn't even see me.
He is a good man though.
I jump as he starts hitting the wall and I hear him grunt every time he punches the wall. I run to his side and start pulling him off the wall.
"Cameron no! I am sorry please just stop!" I scream and he starts breathing really loud then stops.
Cameron turns to look at me and grabs my face with his hands which had bloody knuckles.
"I am sorry, please. I am sorry" I whisper caressing his hair.
His breathing calmed down and I sight, "I am sorry baby" I mumble and walk him to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up with Cameron's bandaged hand around my waist. I slowly get out of bed and take a quick bath to go make breakfast.
Cameron was trying to find a job around the town, which was difficult for him.
You see, Cameron was with me in the orphanage. We were never adopted and as we grew up we became closer, the war was hard on the orphanage so they let us go as soon as we turned 18.
Cameron went to the army and came back with... Issues.
The war is hard on everyone.
Many families with parents or children serving the army, women working hard to feed the children.
Including me.
When I came back from Narnia, I felt more calm than usual, but also less alive.
I had nothing to live for, I wasn't going to see Peter nor go back to Narnia.
The ladies from the orphanage took me into the medical department and I didn't argue.
I was pleased to do something with my time. When I turned 18 I packed my bags and left the dull place and started working on the hospital.
This hospital was always busy thanks to the war, many crying families, many burned bodies, many mentally ill people.
"Good morning sunshine" Cameron says in his morning voice and pecks my lips.
I smile a bit and keep cutting some apples.
"What's for breakfast?" he asks scratching his belly and I notice that he was only in his boxers.
"Well we have cereal, and milk and more cereal" I say jokingly and he rolls his eyes with a smile.
"Very funny" he says and opend the fridge. I wasn't kidding though, we had no food. Let me just say that the hospital doesn't pay very well.
Cameron's kicks the fridge and I walk up to him, I put my hand on his cheek and he relaxes instantly.
"Don't worry, I'll work overtime today so we can prepare something delicious" I smile and go back to cutting the last apple.
"What you need is to have a day off, I need to work. I need to buy you a better place. I need to please my wife" he says and my whole body tenses.
I turn to look at him gulping "Honey, we are just boyfriend and girlfriend" I say laughing nervously.
Please don't kneel and pop the question. Please don't kneel I say in my head.
Cameron suddenly kneels and I kneel with him.
"No no no, Cameron stand up, don't kneel" I say very nervous.
Cameron lets out his charming laugh and shakes his head. "Don't worry honey, I was just kneeling to tie your shoes"
I breathe and stand up, I wipe my sweaty palms in the apron and laugh nervously.
"I am not popping the question" he says laughing "Yet..." He mumbles.
My heart stopped for a minute there.
I finish cutting the apples and put it on my plastic lunch box.
I put on the nurse uniform and look at the reflexion in the mirror.
Cameron walk behind me and hugs me. His lips leaving wet kisses on my neck, I shiver and he smiles.
"You look so hot on that uniform" he whispers in my ear and I look to the ground with a smile.
"Thank you Cameron"
"You should stay today... You know... Keep me company... Maybe we can... You know" he says biting my earlobe and I shiver once again.
I feel his hands travel up to my boobs and his fingers start unbuttoning my nurse uniform.
I snap out of the hot situation and shake my head "Sorry, I can't we need this money" I say and he pouts and keeps unbuttoning my uniform.
I laugh at his behavior and push him playfully.
"We need the money, maybe some other time" I say patting his chest and running to the door.
"Wait!" he calls from the room and I go back to see what he wanted.
"Your uniform is unbuttoned, and also you forgot my kiss" he says.
I roll my eyes as I button up and peck his lips.
But as I separate our bodies he pulls me in to a deep kiss. I smile nervously but finally kiss him back.
"I am late!" I say in between kisses.
"Yeah yeah, sorry. Go on your way baby" he says letting me go and I walk back.
I open the door and look at him one last time before leaving.
"You have lipstick all over your lips" I say laughing and with that I leave to work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Good morning" I say out loud to the ladies in the front desk chatting.
"Morning, your lipstick is all smudged" Grace, the old lady who works in the reception says.
I cover my lips and walk to Monica who had a mirror waiting for me.
"Thanks" I say.
Monica is a woman in her mid 20s who is my apartment neighbor.
"I heard another fight going on your apartment" she says popping the bubble gum.
"Oh it was nothing" I say putting on some lipstick again.
"Really?" she whispers with worried eyes.
I fake smiled and nodded.
All these nurses are the worst. They are fake women with no life so they talk bad about yours.
"Oh yeah, he was begging me to stay with him today" I say smirking.
Monica likes Cameron since he came around my night shift to walk me home.
I was making some final changes with a patient when I hear Monica's fake ass laugh.
"Oh gosh stop it! Seriously?" thats what she kept saying while she touched his chest with her perfect manicured nails.
Her excessive make up just told you she was the biggest slut around.
I think she even fucked a married doctor in the janitors room.
I may not love Cameron as much as he loves me but, thinking that other woman can give him more than I can makes me kind of mad.
"Oh really?" Monica says and I snap out of my hateful thoughts.
"Yes, but duty calls" I say and snap her mirror close and hand it back with a big fake smile.
"Thank you darling, I bet I looked like a mess" I say "But oh Cameron drives me crazy" I laugh and lie.
Monica just fake smiles at me and turns around to talk to the other two nurses behind her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mr. Morgan, thanks to the awful infection the bullet wound caught we had to remove your whole leg" I say reading the paper.
Mr. Morgan was a tall, handsome looking guy who had my age. When he got here he screamed and cried, now he just eats and looks out the window.
"Mr. Morgan did you hear me?" I ask and he just nods, I just give him a reassuring smile to then leave the room.
As I walked through the hallways I saw more wounded solders coming through the emergency room.
"Kira" I hear Dr. Grayson call "Get me some food for room 103"
I nod and head to the cafeteria and greet the serious looking cooks.
"I need a lunch for a patient" I say.
They all stop and look at me with annoyed faces.
"I- I need a meal for a patient--"
"Yes I heard you the first time" the rude cook said and minutes later the practically through the tray at me.
I walk back to room 103 and knock.
"Hey there I am nurse Kira" I say and enter the room.
I see a kid in the bed with an annoyed look on his face.
"Mom. I am not eating that" he says pointing to the tray in my hands and I place it in front of him.
"No turning back kid, you have to eat to get--"
"To get bigger and stronger. Blah blah. I know. Can you shut up and leave?" the rude kid interrupts my talking.
I turned to look at the mom who was reading in the side of the room.
"Excuse me?" I ask the kid with a deadly tone.
"Your excused, now leave!" The kid shouts and I just back up and leave the room.
What a rude kid.
"I hate my job" I mumble and breathe to calm myself down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I go back home I hear music in my apartment. I frown and go in to see the entrance filled with candles and rose petals. I gulp and start backing up. I slowly close the door and tip toe my way down the hall.
I bite my lip as I hear a door open "Kira?" I hear Cameron say and my breathing stopped.
"Oh hi honey!" I say and he looks at me frowning.
"Hi, did you open the door earlier?" he asks and I shake my head.
"Nope, I just got here"
He frowns and motions me to come closer. I gulp and walk back to my apartment door. He opens the door so I can see the candles and rose petals in the ground.
"Wow. What is this?" I say nervously. He chuckles and pushes me inside the apartment.
"You know, since I came back from the war, we haven't really had much chemistry. So I thought, you know maybe if I put some music... Some candles..." he says with a sexy smirk and I laugh nervously.
"But I am not ready" I croak out and he breathes with his eyes closed.
"Kira please, I love you! I've showed it in every way" he says putting a hand in my cheek.
"I've loved you since we first met in the orphanage" he whispers and kisses my lips softly "Remember when you were crazy about Narnia? About the imaginary guy-- whats his name?--"
"Peter" I say defensively "Uhm his name was Peter" I say softly and kiss his lips.
I kiss him like it was Peter I was kissing, with such love, with such need.
But the cruel truth was that I was kissing another man, and the man that I thought of every night was long gone.
Cameron laughs at my needy kiss. I start to unbuckle his belt and he groans with need as well.
"I love you" he repeats every time and I just keep unbuttoning my uniform.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up with the same alarm, but with an unusual feeling. I felt warmth, I looked back to see Cameron fully dressed and with a tray of food in his hands.
I smile and scratch my neck "What is this?"
"It's your breakfast honey" he says and leaved the tray in the bed to give me a kiss.
I smile, but this smile was actually real. I felt like a 15 year old girl receiving her first kiss from her crush.
"You smell great" I say in between kisses and he smirks.
"Oh stop honey. You make me blush" I laugh at his words.
I wrap the sheets around my body and walk to the bathroom to take a nice bath.
After a while I start overthinking stuff. When I left Narnia I was so self centered, I was only thinking about a person I will probably not even see again.
I sight as I face the truth, I am starting to fall for Cameron.
He was so nice and he is definitely not ugly. And the best thing is that he has eyes for me only.
I bite my lip as I make my choice, its time to forget about Narnia and Peter and move on to something I see everyday.
