The different kinds of love

Chapter 5

"Cam" Leela breathed, turning around and coming face to face with him.

"You've been avoiding me" he stated matter-of-factly.

"Have I" she said slightly flustered

"You know you have" he said in a low voice.

She stood there in silence for a bit before he spoke again.

"Why don't you come in for a bit" he said.

She stood, biting her lip as she looked between the flat and the stairs "Come on, we are friends after all" he said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Is that what you call it" she mumbled under her breathe "Fine, I guess I might as well come in, I came to see Sienna but I guess she's gone out" she walked over to his open door and walked into the flat that he shared with his Brother Lockie and Lockie's wife Porsche.

"Sienna's gone house hunting" he told her as she walked over to the couch.

"Why didn't you go with her?" she asked, looking at him as she spoke.

"Not really my thing I guess" he shrugged.

"So where are Lockie and Porsche?" she asked, looking around the small flat.

"Lockie's gone to meet some mates in town and Porsche went to see her family" he said before smirking "So looks like it's just us two"

"I think I should go, Peri's at home, she's not feeling well, I should go" she nodded to herself as if convincing herself she needed to leave.

"What's the rush?" he asked "How about a drink? I've got some cans in the fridge"

"I guess one won't hurt" she smiled cautiously.

Walking over to the fridge Cameron got two cans of beer out, chucking one to Leela as she caught it effortlessly.

"Thanks" she mumbled before sitting herself down on the couch where Cameron joined her.

"So how's it going?" he asked her "I haven't seen you in a few days, like I said you've been avoiding me"

Leela smiled carefully "I've missed you" he told her causing her to look down as she fiddled with her hands nervously.

"I should really go and see how Peri is" she said as she put her can on the table in front of her and went to get up.

"I only said I missed you, it's not a marriage proposal or anything" he laughed.

"I know, I... I just..." she stumbled over her words as she saw him stand up "I should really go" she turned hurriedly to leave but he caught her arm causing her to turn back, their faces were only inches apart as she looked into his eyes.

"Stay" he said in a deep voice as his eyes flickered to her lips.

He leant in slowly before capturing her lips in a slow and passionate kiss.

She was tense under his touch before slowly melting against him, her lips working in sync with his as she got lost in him.

Before she knew it they were in his bedroom as she fell onto his bed and he fell on top off her, carefully resting his weight on his arms so he didn't squash her.

They continued kissing hurriedly before he sat up, freeing himself of his top before lifting hers up and slowly lifting it over her head, chucking it somewhere in the room.

Sitting up slightly she pulled his lips to hers and captured them in a hungry kiss before they both fell back on the bed in a tangled mess.

Cameron's hands where everywhere as she got lost in the moment, he reached the top of her shorts before flicking the button open but before he could continue she stopped him as she spoke breathlessly.

"No" she pushed him off of her and he rolled to his side, lying beside her, propping himself up on his arm he moved a strand of hair from her face causing her to smile shyly at him.

"Don't you want this?" he asked her gently but she didn't answer.

"I've missed you too" she said after a while.

"Then what's your problem?" he asked with slight anger to his voice.

"My problem is you are married, your wife is my best friend" she sat up and looked down at him.

"We have to stop" she sighed, closing her eyes tightly before slowly opening them again.

She still didn't understand how he hadn't figured out Peri was him, I mean if he really thought about it it would have been obvious, but I guess he wasn't one to think seriously about stuff like that.

"But you want this" he spoke, letting out a sigh she agreed "It doesn't matter what I want, we're hurting so many people" she told him sadly "I can't do it to Sienna, not anymore" she told him.

"What about Ziggy? You can do it to him" he said with force.

She stayed quiet for a long moment before moving of off the bed, picking her discarded top up from the floor.

"Where are you going?" he asked as he watched her.

"I have to go" she said sternly, pulling her top roughly on her body and attempting to fix her appearance.

"Just tell me, what is the difference between Sienna and Ziggy?" he asked causing her to look at him.

"It's just different alright" she said with a slightly raised voice.

"But how?" he asked, not taking 'it's different' for an answer.

"Just because..." she let her voice trail off, turning away from him with the attention of walking out of the door.

"Because what?" he shouted.

"Because I don't love him" she shouted before slowly turning around to see him staring intently at her.

"I don't love Sienna either" he told her.

"You're married to her, of course you love her" she stated solemnly.

He shook his head "I'm not in love with her" he said "Leela, I..."

She cut him off "I need to go" she quickly left the room and let herself out of the flat leaving Cameron on the bed as he fell back on the pillow with a heavy sigh.

...

Leela quickly made her way back to hers, walking through the door she looked flustered "You okay?" Peri questioned as she looked up from the television.

"Yeah" Leela said, smiling weakly as she looked at the television "I'm not watching it, it was just on" Peri shrugged.

"How about we watch a film, snuggle up on the couch?" Leela offered.

"I'd like that" Peri smiled "Can we watch 'The fault in our stars'? Peri asked as it was her current favourite movie.

"Sure"

Peri ran upstairs to find the DVD, finding it she came back downstairs with it in her hands as she went to put it in the DVD player.

"You want anything?" Leela asked from the kitchen as she made herself a drink.

"No thanks"

The adverts started playing then the movie menu came up "Are you ready?" Peri called, getting no answer as Leela stood in the kitchen thinking about things, getting lost in her own thoughts.

"MUM" Peri called, impatiently.
