Cam and Honey drove to their office after their two-day vacation. They’re running late because of Candace who bugged Cam into giving her a ride to school which was a fifteen-minute drive from their house because she was running late.
When they entered the office, everybody was talking excitedly; the women that is because the men looked as if heaven itself dropped on their heads. They looked exactly the way they looked when Cam first came into the office and their team captain introduced him to the whole team of detectives.
“Hey, is there anything new?” Honey asked with her usual friendly smile.
“We have a new workmate.” one of their lady workmate answered giddily. “And he’s so damned hot!”
Honey raised an eyebrow. “Hotter than my partner?” she asked teasingly then gave Cam a teasing look which her partner only answered with an eye roll.
Their workmate looked at Cam before smiling. “A little.”
Honey looked so shocked at that. “Seriously?”
“Yeah, with those sexy eyes of his, oh my God! He could have been Adonis himself!”
As if on cue, their captain came with a guy wearing a jacket with a hood covering his head.
“Robb, I want you to meet Denver Wilson.” their captain said.
Cameron looked at Denver. He angled his head to see Denver’s face.
“Y-you…” Denver stuttered. He removed his hood and Cameron’s chair flew to the air when he saw who it was.
“Morgan!” Cameron exclaimed with his eyes wide in shock. “W-what…?”
Morgan/Denver looked as shocked as he was. Maroon eyes shook with anxiety as he made an about face and ran out of the office.
“What the fuck! You really think you can still run away from me?” Cam ran after Morgan.
Their workmates were damned by what they just witnessed.
“Morgan! Come back here, you jerk!” Cameron screamed behind Morgan while they’re still running.
“Don’t follow me, you idiot!” Morgan screamed back.
Everybody around them looked at them.
“Why not?” Cameron asked. “I’m your best friend!”
Morgan stopped which made Cameron bump into him and they fell on the ground.
“Ouch!” Morgan exclaimed when he hit the ground. “Get off, you idiot!”
Cam stood up. He straightened his clothes before helping his friend to stand. “Why did you leave?” he asked the second Morgan was able to stand.
Morgan started to walk away but Cam stopped him by the arm. The red-head looked at his friend blankly. “Let’s not talk here.” he said coldly. He pulled his arm from Cam’s hold harshly. He started to walk towards the park.
Cam followed his red-head to wherever he was going to. Yeah, that’s right. Morgan was his red-head.
Morgan sat under a tree when they were already in the park. Cam just stood beside him; waiting for him to start talking.
“Why did you leave, Morgan?” Cam asked when Morgan didn’t start talking.
Morgan flinched. It’s been so long since anyone had called him that name. “F-first of all, Mr. Robb, my name is Denver Wilson. Second, didn’t you read what the letter said?”
It’s Cameron’s turn to flinch. He wasn’t used on being called by his surname; especially not by his friend. “I’m sorry about that, Denver.” Cam’s heart suddenly felt tight by calling his friend with a different name except the name he loved so much since he met the other guy. “Yes, I read what the letter said but it doesn’t explain anything! Nothing at all!”
Morgan continued to stare at his feet. He was so scared to look into those green whirlpools because he was scared that he might drown into the different emotions that were definitely in there even if he didn’t look into them. “I was sick and I needed to have the stupid surgery, what other explanation would explain why I left?”
“When the surgery ended, why didn’t you contact me?”
“What for? You’re just a person who I got acquainted with because of some unstoppable reasons!” Morgan’s voice was so cold that Cam knew he was definitely true.
Cam felt stabbed a hundred times in the heart. Calm down, Cam… He’s not telling the truth… He’s lying… But his heart is saying otherwise. He let out a shaky breath. “O-okay then… Sorry for wasting your time, Mr. Wilson. I’ll have to go. I’m sorry for mistaking you of my dear friend that I waited for seven years even if I wasn’t sure if he’s still alive.” he said with his voice full of pain. “I guess he’s dead after all.” He pushed himself away from the tree and started to walk back to their office.
Morgan watched as Cameron walked away from him. His heart felt so painful. Why didn’t he just tell him the truth?
Cameron just took his keys from his office table then left without a word. He drove like crazy. He stepped on the pedal as if it was a heavy weight metal. He avoided a coming truck that almost hit his car. “Shit! Shit! Shit!” he screamed on the top of his lungs as he hit the steering wheel. “Damn you, Morgan Howard! I hate the hell out of you!”
Morgan walked without knowing where he was heading until he found himself standing in front of their house.
“Denver?” he heard Zoe call him which made him look up to his wife when she opened the door with a shocked expression.
“Zoe…” he said as he embraced his pregnant wife.
“What happened, Denver?” Zoe asked with a worried face.
“I saw him, Zoe and I told him that he didn’t mean anything to me.” Denver sounded like a wounded puppy. He hated being weak but he didn’t care about his pride anymore.
Zoe caressed her husband’s hair. She knew everything about Cameron Robb and she also knew that her husband never loved her because he loved Cameron with all his heart. She envied Cameron for all the love and devotion that her beloved husband gave him. “I would never say that it’s okay because I know it’s not and I also know that you did that because you were thinking about my condition.”
Morgan looked up at Zoe’s chocolate brown eyes. “Don’t think it was your fault, Zoe. You’re my friend and I did that because I love you.”
“I thank you for that, Denver but I know that you still loved him much better than you love me and I’m okay with that because I owe you a lot. I even owe you your happiness.” Zoe said in a heartfelt manner. She pecked a kiss on Morgan’s cheek. “I love you, Denver and I will forever thank you for letting me experience such happiness in my life.”
Morgan stared at his wife. He knew that Zoe felt guilty for having him to marry her just because of a stupid truce of families and also because of her sickness.
“Denver, I think you should go back and tell him the truth.”
“It’s too late now, honey. He already thinks that his friend from the past is already dead.”
Zoe felt her heart clench tight against her chest. This was all her fault. If she didn’t ask Denver to marry her then he must have been happy with his life with his true love.
The following days came oh-so-slowly for Cameron and Morgan. Every time they work with each other, they felt as if the day was the slowest day ever. They felt awkward towards each other.
Honey and Zoe felt this in their own ways and they wanted to do something to make the two of them go back to each other.
“Yeah, sweetheart.” Cameron said on the phone when his fiancée called him while he and Morgan worked together in an important assignment.
Morgan’s heart beat hard against his rib cage. So he has a lover now, huh? He thought with a clenching heart.
Cameron continued to talk to his lover while Morgan tried very hard not to let his feelings affect his job. The red-head scribbled furiously on the papers in front of him. He signed every paper there is to sign feeling as if the damned pen was breaking against his hand.
“Bye, Suzanne, I love you.”
Morgan stopped abruptly when he heard the name that Cam mentioned. Suzanne… he’s straight… He started to scribble again but it was as if his hand was so heavy that he couldn’t even move it properly. “E-excuse me, I need to go. The paper works are done so you don’t have any problem anymore.” he said and stood. He took his things and started for the door without looking back.
Cam continued started looking through Morgan’s/Denver’s work. He stared at the hastily written things on the paper. Even if he knew that they were written hastily, they’re still readable and amazingly nice-looking. He was in the middle of his reading when two men or rather goons came into their office and stood in front of him.
He looked up to the goons in front of him with a confused look. “May I help you?” he asked politely.
“Miss Zoe wants to see you.” one of the goons said with his very baritone voice.
“Who’s Miss Zoe?” Cam asked.
“We’ll answer that if you come with us.” the other goon answered.
Cam looked at the guys back and forth before nodding. “Okay.” he stood up and started fixing his things before he started walking out of their office with the goons.
They rode in a black limousine.
“Who’s Miss Zoe?” he asked again when they were already settled down.
“Miss Zoe is Mister Denver’s wife.” the first goon answered.
Cam’s heart stopped beating for a moment. “What?”
“Miss Zoe is Mister Denver Wilson’s pregnant wife.” the second goon answered with a stress for the word pregnant.
“Why does she want to see me?”
“We’re not allowed to answer that question of yours, Mr. Robb.” the first goon said coldly.
Cameron shut up and didn’t say a single word until they arrived at their destination. It was a mansion of the famous Wilson family. Once a Wilson, always a Wilson. He remembered that phrase from Dexter, Denver’s/Morgan’s older brother.
They stopped in front of the mansion and the two goons got out of the limousine before Cam did.
A pregnant woman welcomed him with a pleasant smile on her face.
“Welcome, Cameron!” the woman greeted as he started walking up the stairs towards the door where the woman stood.
Cameron looked at the woman with a confused look.
“I am Zoe Wilson, Denver’s wife.” Zoe answered as if reading Cameron’s mind. “And he told me everything about you that’s why I know your name.” She offered a hand shake to Cam which he accepted hesitantly.
“He told you everything about me?” Cameron finally found his voice and asked Zoe.
“He did.” she answered as she caressed her HUGE belly.
She’s Morgan’s wife and they’re having a child! He thought with an obvious envy. “Why is that?”
Zoe smiled. “Come in to the house first so you would understand.” she motioned him to follow her.
Cam followed closely. The two of them walked along some hallways until they finally arrived in front of a huge door.
Zoe opened the door with great care. The room was huge and it’s full of drawings.
W-what’s this? He thought as he looked around the room full of his drawn face.
“This is a mausoleum for you.” Zoe answered his silent question. “He loved you very much since the two of you first met until now.”
Cam looked at Zoe. “But you’re his wife and you’re having a child!”
Zoe smiled proudly. “A son… We’re having a son.” she said; her green eyes sparkling in happiness. “And yes, I’m his wife but you’re the one he loves.”
“That’s insane!”
“I know but the more insane thing is that the only reason why he married me is because I was dying anytime soon. I’ve loved him since we were kids and there was nothing I wanted but to have him as my husband. After his surgery, I told him that I was dying and I wish to become his wife even for only a few years and he granted my wish. I had him as my husband for more than six years now and there is a bonus too; a baby boy that I know he will love with all his heart.” Zoe said. She caressed her belly lovingly before looking into green orbs again. “I just borrowed him from you. I promise to give him back to you whole.”
Cam clenched his fists. “What the hell are you talking about? Your bastard of a husband already told me that I was just a person he became acquainted with because of some unstoppable reasons!” he said angrily.
Zoe looked at him with understanding smile. “He only told you that because he was worried about me.”
“And that means he loves you!” he said with teary eyes. He can’t accept this. He’ll never accept this.
“Not more than he loves you!” Zoe threw back. “I know you’re in pain but think about this, six years that I wished he’ll love me just the way he loved you but that wish never came true because every time we made love, it’s your name that he whispers against my ear. Every time I kissed him goodbye or hello, I knew that you were the one in his mind.”
Cam felt as if he was soaked with ice cold water. He never knew that his Morgan came to the point that while he was making love with his wife, it was his name he was calling… just like him. Whenever he makes love with any woman, it was Morgan who was in his mind… he just didn’t know if he unconsciously calls his name.
“What’s happening here?” Morgan’s voice boomed inside the huge room.
Cam and Zoe looked at him at the same time. “Denver!”
“Zoe, what’s this all about?” the red-head asked as he walked passed Cameron and to his wife.
“I already told him the truth.” Zoe answered without any hesitation.
Morgan’s eyes bore into the petite woman’s features. “What truth are you talking about, honey?”
“The truth that you loved him and you still do after seven long years.”
Morgan looked at Cameron with cold, maroon eyes. “Mr. Robb, I suppose you do not believe in what my wife just said.” he said. “You’re fiancée must be waiting for you now, Mr. Robb. I am very sorry for my wife’s actions.”
Cameron and Zoe looked at each other and shrugged.
“When will you be honest with yourself, honey?” Cameron asked with the same grin he gave Morgan when they first met.
Zoe walked out of the room and pulled the door behind her with a loud ‘thud’.
“What the hell are you talking about, Mr. Robb?” Morgan continued to ask with his oh-so-innocent look.
Cam’s grin became wider. “You still look so cute when you’re confused.” he said as he walked towards Morgan who took a step back as if he was scared of the smaller man. He pulled Morgan’s tie to stop him from walking back. “Tell me you love me, Morgan.”
“My name’s—” his words were stopped when Cam’s lips crushed against his.
Cam pulled back after a few long seconds. “Tell me you love me, Morgan.” he repeated.
Morgan licked his lips. He opened his lips to say something but closed it back then pulled the smaller man in front of him into a hot, passionate kiss. Cam’s breath hitched into his throat when Morgan demanded him to open his lips for his hot tongue.
Cam wrapped his arms around Morgan’s neck as Morgan wrapped his other arm around Cam’s waist and the other held Cam’s head in place.
They parted when they needed air.
“Tell me you love me, Morgan.” Cam whispered seductively.
“Denver loved you from then until now, Cameron.” Morgan replied as he took Cam’s lips again.
