Ben was right. She had just needed more time. After two months of this, Kayla stopped being afraid of his touch. They could hug. He could put his arm around her. There wasn't need for any more dancing, but Ben insisted on it. "I don't know why we're doing this," she laughed as they were trying to waltz. |

"Because waltzing has more touching than your arms around my neck, besides, you should know how to waltz," he smiled, spinning her out. |

"You sounded so manly just now," she rolled her eyes and lowered her voice. Her breath caught as he spun her back into him. She looked up at him. Her eyes traced his strong jawline. They were so close. |

"Shut up," just for that he spun her into him quickly, hoping to catch her off guard. It did, but then the look in her eyes caught him off his. Ben looked down at her. He forgot what he was doing for a moment. He felt the soft cotton of her shirt on the pads of his fingers. He could feel her breathing rise and fall. The scent of her lotion reached his nose. He felt dizzy. |

Damien didn't bother with knocking, he was too upset and too angry to stand still for too long. As he walked into the house, he didn't see anyone. Standing there a moment he soon picked up on Kayla's heart rate which had increased a bit. Appearing by the basement door, Damien turned the door knob and moved down the stairs. He was already mid-sentence as he turned the corner from the stairs not really thinking about why they were in the basement, he was upset and Nat wasn't answering her cell, "Well that talk with Camille didn't go-" he stopped speaking when he saw Ben and Kayla in extremely close proximity to one another, but he continued with his sentence anyways, "-at all how I planned."

Kayla didn't even hear Damien come down the stairs. She was paralyzed by Ben's look and the feel of his fingers on her side. She jerked her head away when she heard Damien's voice. She shut off the music on her iPod. "We were just dancing. Getting me used to vampires," she said quickly. She could feel her cheeks flush. She looked at Damien. "It was supposed to be about you apologizing to her. Did you not apologize?" |

Ben snapped out of it when Kayla looked at Damien. He could sense the blood rushing to her face. She was blushing. It made him smile a bit. It took him a minute to realize what Damien had said and why he was here. "Nat too busy working?" he knew they had become friends since she made him go sky diving on New Year's Day. She was pretty cool. He thought Kayla's question was valid, but he didn't think his basement was the place to talk about this. "Why don't we go into the kitchen and get a beer?" He walked upstairs and went to the fridge. He grabbed three beers and set out on the island. "Okay, go." |

Damien looked to Kayla, he sense the blood rushing to her face, she was blushing but why? He brushed it aside and nodded when Ben offered a beer, "I could use a drink." He nodded, "She took over someone's shift so she has a double today." Once they were in the kitchen and Damien took a huge swig of his beer he sighed. "Well I apologized to her, and it started off just fine. I was prepared for whatever she was going to say. But then she said she couldn't see use being friends and I just lost all the composure I worked so hard to have and we fought again. Our friendship, or whatever you want to call it, is officially over." |

"Well, can you blame her for not wanting to be your friend? I mean, I have a friendship with her, but I never really see her. We're on good terms and I'll go to her shows to support her--but I'm not a big part of her life anymore and that's fine. We've moved on with our lives," Ben shrugged. |

"You mean Nat actually has a life?" she joked. Kayla took the beer from Ben and opened it. She sipped it as she listened to Damien. She just shook her head. "So, what you're saying is that you weren't prepared for what she had to say? You were expecting her to forgive you and be friends with you? Dude, you're lucky she forgave you." |

Damien sighed and took another swig of his beer, "I know! I went into this with the mindset that it was okay if we weren't going to be friends, and that I would just be thankful if she forgave me but then I just freaked and lost everything, I really wanted to have a good conversation with her and not to fight again," he frowned. |

Kayla tilted the bottle back into her mouth and shook her head. "Dude, stay the fuck away from her and I mean that in a nice way. You're just digging yourself a hole. She doesn't want you in her life, you have to respect that. She's a human being that deserves respect. You obviously weren't ready like you thought you were and now you just leave her alone." |

Ben nodded. "Exactly. The Camille chapter of your life is closed. Nothing else you can do about it, but move on." |

Damien sighed and finished his beer, "I guess you're right. Maybe this will be a good thing." He shook his head, "a life without Camille. It'll be different alright." |

"And maybe a little more healthy," Ben raised his eyebrows. |
