So I've updated this to third person. Originally I wanted to do it first person, but there's too much I want to do and Lillian and Cam can't always be present. Thanks for reading!
"Oh Cam, they're beautiful!" Laney exclaimed. Cam smiled, unable to stop himself from staring into the bright green eyes of the woman he loved. Her hair the color of a wheat field in the golden sun, was tied back in the meticulous bun she wore while working in the Cafe. She clasped her hands together under that delicate chin and gave a delighted squeal. "These will be perfect for the wedding!" She stared at the beautiful pink roses that he had painstakingly cultivated for her. Cam had wanted everything to be perfect for her. He loved her with all of his heart. He turned around to get some of the sketches that he had drawn for the designs of her bouquet. He heard her giggling softly. When Cam looked up he saw her in the arms of the man she was going to marry, Phillip. His red hair was tousled from a long day's work, and his face was close to hers. Cam couldn't help but feel a tinge in his stomach. He really did not like Phillip.
"I hope I don't have anything to be jealous about," Phillip mused as he kissed her on her smooth cheek. A pink hue tinted her face, and she smiled.
"Between Cam and I?" Laney asked. "Cam's like a brother to me." Cam flinched at the description. He had loved Laney for years. Cam had never been really good at expressing emotions. He had always been very shy and reserved. Hearing that was hard.
Cam had come to Bluebell as a young teenager and Howard had taken him in. He had almost instantly fell in love with his beautiful blonde haired daughter. Laney was open and honest. She was the type of girl that displayed every emotion on that lovely face of hers. She was expressive and warm. When Phillip moved to Bluebell everything changed. Laney had feelings for him immediately. When he had first come into the Howard's Cafe looking for something to eat, Laney smiled at him in a way that she had never smiled at Cam. It was that day that Cam knew she was lost to him forever. But then again, it's not as if she'd ever been his to begin with.
That was three seasons ago, and now they were getting married, the wedding was in a week. Laney had asked Cam to make the flower arrangements, and he could not tell her no. Cam could never deny this beautiful girl anything.
"Cam, Phillip and I are going to go for a walk, I'll talk to you later," Laney said. Cam watched her walk away, her hand clasped firmly in his. Her skirt was flowing gently around her knees from the cool autumn breeze.
He wondered at that moment what would have happened if he would have just been more open and honest about his feelings. Would she have fallen for him instead? If Cam had summoned the courage to tell her about his love for her, would things be any different? Cam silently cursed himself for being so cold and distant all the time. Did I lose her because she never knew? Or would she have always chosen Phillip? He wondered to himself. Sighing, he picked up the sketchbook to make more revisions. Even if she wasn't marrying him, He still wanted things to be perfect.
"Excuse me?" a small voice interrupted Cam's thoughts. He jumped. He had become so entrenched in thought working on the sketches. He looked up to see a small girl standing before him. Her dull ash blonde hair swooped down nearly covering her eyes which were a slate blue, almost gray color. She stood with her hands folded in front of her.
"Yes?" Cam asked with his usual indifference and disinterest.
"I'm sorry to bother you but I am looking for Phillip Stone," the girl stated. "Do you know where he is?" Cam's eyes narrowed. Who was this girl that was looking for Phillip? Perhaps she was a girl from his past? The new farmer very rarely spoke of his life before moving to Konohona. Cam instantly hoped it was an old girlfriend coming to find him, but then felt remorse for his thoughts. That would break Laney's heart and that was the last thing that Cam wanted.
"Who are you?" Cam asked.
"I am his sister Lillian," the girl answered flatly. Phillip had a sister? Cam had no idea. Then again no one did. He couldn't help but wonder if Laney knew.
"He just left here with his fiancé," Cam answered. The small girl smiled.
"Thank you," she answered. She quickly turned on her heel and left. What a strange girl she was. It didn't matter to Cam, he turned back to his sketches.
Lillian could hardly believe it; her older brother was getting married. Back in the city he'd been known as the rich playboy. Phillip could have (and often did have) any girl he wanted to. Rich debutantes, and even once a princess had fallen for her brother's charms. When their father had died it had all changed, that was when Phillip had decided to move to Konohona to farm. Their mother, of course, was furious, but Phillip had their father's stubbornness in him and decided to stay.
Lillian wasn't sure where to go, so she walked back to the small town hall in Bluebell. Phillip had made all the arrangements for her to stay. Lillian was a little disappointed. She was hoping to see if her brother had truly changed or not. Could it be that he had found true love?
"Lil!" She heard a voice shout. She turned around to see a smiling Phillip. He ran up to her and threw his arms around her.
"I am so happy to see you!" Lillian murmured. Phillip and she had always been so close. They had endured a lot together.
"Same here Lilbud." She couldn't help but smile at the old familiar nickname. Anyone else beside Phillip who tried to call her that would have been kicked in the teeth.
"I want you to meet Laney," Phillip said. He extended his hand out to the blonde girl standing a few feet away. Lillian hoped the shock on her face wasn't too evident. Laney looked nothing like the type of girl her brother usually went for. In fact Laney looked rather plain. Not saying she didn't have a pretty face, but it was nothing compared to the glamor girls that typically caught Phillip's attention.
"It's a pleasure," Lillian greeted. "I'm Lillian."
"Nice to meet you as well," Laney responded back. "Phillip has told me so much about you."
"I've heard very little about you," Lillian answered. Phillip coughed.
"How about we all go into the cafe, so you two can get to know each other," Phillip stated. He took both their arms in his. She felt a small warning squeeze from Phillip. Lillian couldn't help but wonder, just how much Laney really knew about her big brother.
