Cami's POV"I am so sorry about how Uncle Charles acted toward you and Liam. I don't know what his problem is," Blake said as we sat on the couch in the living room. We had been home from Blake's parent's house for about three hours. Liam was playing with his toys while we watched the news."You don't have to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong," I said"I just don't want anyone disrespecting you," Blake said"I honestly don't care what your uncle has to say about me. He doesn't know anything about me," I saidWe went to sleep early that night. I was happy to be home; finally, my body wrapped up in Blake's.Two Weeks Later"Welcome back to work, Cami," Ciara said and placed some papers on Blake's desk. Blake and I haven't been to work for the last two weeks. He said that after everything that happened, we needed a break. "Thank you, Ciara," I said "Maybe we can grab lunch today," Ciara said and walked out of the roomIt had been two weeks since that awkward lunch with Uncle Char
Cami's POV"What are you doing here, Uncle Charles," Blake asked "I wanted to the both of you for a moment," Uncle Charles said as he walked in and shut the door "I wanted to say that I am sorry for the way I spoke to you at dinner, Camela, and would like to take the both of you out for dinner,' Uncle Charles said, looking at me. I didn't know if I should believe him. He didn't seem like the type of person to apologize to anyone, but I didn't think he was sincere."Thank you, Uncle," Blake said"Do you accept my apology, Camela?" Uncle Charles asked. I looked at Blake to see that he was already watching me. He had a smile on his face, and I knew he believed his Uncle was genuinely sorry. "Yes, I accept your apology," I said, and I saw a smile on Uncle Charles's face. But, unfortunately, it didn't seem like a genuine smile of kindness but a cold smile. I felt he had something up his sleeve but didn't know what."Great, will the two of you be able to meet me for dinner at the Italian
Blake's POV"I always knew that you would become a great man, Blake," Grace said "Thanks," I replied. I was surprised to see Grace here after all these years. I walked over with her just to say hello to Cassi and then come back to Cami, but then Grace started asking me for advice about opening a hotel which turned into a fifteen-minute discussion."Well, I should get back to," I started to say, but Grace cut me off"You are so hot, Blake. When your Uncle told me to come to the restaurant tonight, I didn't know you would be here, but I am happy you were. I have missed you," she said, then jumped on me and put her lips to mine. I was shocked at what was happening but quickly gained myself and pushed her off of me. "Grace, what are you doing?" I asked"I am sorry. I just thought that you were feeling me, too," Grace said"Grace, I am in a relationship, and I am not interested in anyone but Camela," I said and then turned to see if Cami saw what had just happened, but she was not at th
Blaire's POV"Camela told me to let you know that she doesn't need a ride from you but thinks for bringing her over here," I said, trying to keep a mile on my face. I didn't like Ciara. There was something off about her, and I didn't trust that girl."Are you sure because she told me she needed me to take her home?" Ciara asked "I am positive. Cami is fine," I said "I would like to hear that from Cami," Ciara said, and her phone began to ring. She looked at it and then pressed ignore just for it to ring again."Are you going to get that?" I asked"It can wait. Can you please get Cami?" She asked, and I could hear the annoyance in her voice. Then, before I could answer her, Cami walked out of the door."Hey, Ciara, I am going to stay with Blaire tonight. I am sorry for keeping you," Cami said "Are you sure? I can take you home," Ciara said "She said she is staying with me," I said, and Ciara looked at me "Yeah, I am fine but thank you," Cami said with a smile. Ciara's phone began
Blake's POV "You seem sad. Would you like me to make it all the better for you?" The bartender asked while leaning down for me to get a good look at her red bra. Before Cami, I would have taken her up on her offer, but now the only woman I wanted was Cami. No other woman could ever take her place. " I am good, just get me another scotch," I said as I drank the remainder of my drink. "Are you sure you don't want me to help," she said "I said just get me another scotch," I practically growled "Fine, it is your loss," she said and went to make my drink "Do you think it is a good idea for you to be here?" I heard my father say as he sat next to me "I needed a drink. Today has been a messed up day," I said The bartender came back and placed my drink in front of me. I could tell she was upset that I turned her down, but I could care less. "Do you want to talk about it, son?" "I feel like my past keeps coming back and biting me in the ass," I said "Yeah, I told you not to mess
Cami's POV"Are you sure you want to go to work today?" Blaire asked. I had been staying with her for the last three days. So after Blake came over early in the morning and Grace told me that she was the one that kissed him, but he quickly turned her down, I was relieved. However, I still felt like he was at fault for what happened because he went and sat with her and her friend for over twenty minutes without sparing me a glance. So even if she was the one that kissed him and if she was asking him for advice on owning a business doesn't make what he did right. "Yes, I am going to work. Why wouldn't I?" I asked"I just thought you wanted some time to yourself without seeing Blake. Are you finally done with punishing him?' Blaire asked"I am not punishing him, Blaire. He just needs to see that what he did was wrong. I am not going to be pushed to the side every time he sees an old girlfriend," I said"Hey, I am on your side, Girl. I don't think he meant to hurt or push you to the side
Blake's POV "This isn't the way I imagined doing this when I bought this ring last week, but I think this is the right time. Camelia Davis, will you make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me?" I said and waited for her answer. Cami began looking around the room, and then she did the one thing that I didn't expect her to doShe ran out of the Cafeteria. Everyone that was in the Cafeteria gasped in surprise. Blaire walked over to me and hit me in the arm."What was that for?' I asked "You just had a big argument and Cami, and then you proposed to her in front of all these people. You know she isn't the type of girl that wants everyone in her business. You probably embarrassed her. And she most likely thinks you only asked so she would forgive you. She probably doesn't think you truly want to marry her," Blaire said "But I do want to marry her, Blaire," I said honestly. I was planning on proposing to Cami soon but was trying to figure out the perfect time. Then the whole thin
Cami's POVI couldn't believe that Ciara would lie to me about Blake proposing to Veronica. Why would she tell me that if it wasn't true? I was shocked When Blake showed up inside the bathroom and was relieved that he overheard the conversation and confronted her about lying. If he hadn't, I would have believed all of her lies. Blake walked with me back into our office and walked me over to sit in my seat. He leaned on my desk and began talking."Cami, I know I have said it millions of times, but I am going to say it again. I am sorry for everything that I did that might have hurt you. I know I was wrong for going to Grace's table, and I promise I will never do anything like that again. Please forgive me. I love and need you more than anything in this world," Blake said "Why did you propose to me in front of everyone in the cafeteria? Did you do it to get me to forgive you?" I asked"What? No, I would never propose to get you to forgive me. I did it because I wanted to marry you. I w
