'Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hunter. I'm Cameron, Matt's friend.' greeted Cameron while extending his arm.

'Thank you so much to look after my son yesterday. I hope he didn't cause you any troubles.' mom thanked as she took Cameron's hand.

'Welcome to our house. We were starting to wonder when our son will finally take his friend home, so we can meet him.' said dad going for a handshake.

However, when they hands connected, neither of them let each other go. They were staring in each other eye. If mom didn't come and stopped them, only God would know how long they would have stared at each other.How could they not even blink for so long?! For Cameron that's normal since he wasn't completely... Normal and for dad...

'Cameron will you like something to drink? We have lemonade, coke, juice...' asked my mother with her hand already on the fridge.

'No, thank you. I don't want to trouble you.' he smiled

'Come on dear, it'll take ten seconds.'

'Water then.' as soon as Cameron finished his sentence, mom was already giving him his glass of water. 'Oh, thanks Mr. Hunter.'

Mom smiled in answer as she invited him to sit on a couch in the living room. We started to talk, well more like a questioning. My parents didn't stop to bombard Cameron with questions. That made me want to ask him things too, but it wasn't the right time.

I had so much to ask about us being mates, the organization called Deus, the dreams I had and the anonymous letter I received.

If only my parents would stop talking.

When I thought we could stop and take Cameron to my room, my sister came in.

'Welcome home sweetheart.' greeted mom.

'Hey mom.' she smiled to her and then looked at Cameron. 'And you're?' she asked politely.

'I'm Cameron nice to meet you Jessica.' he said as he got up to give her a handshake.

'My pleasure, but how do you know my name?' she asked at him but clearly looked at me.

She knew something, but I didn't know what. I hope she won't tell anything to our parents... Yet. I would need to have a talk with her.

'Your brother, Matt, talked about you. To be honest I couldn't to meet all of you.' lied my friend/mate.

I did mention her once or twice but never really talked about her. Well not enough for him to know how she looked or how she was. Maybe it was his super powers again? Geez, what can't this man do?

...

Now that I thought about it... It was kind of obvious she was my sister... We were twins...

So, my sister joined the conversation and started to ask him questions. She wasn't shy, in the contrary. She was a girl to ask everything she has on her mind. She needed a filter, but that was why people loved (or hated) her too. Anyways, I didn't saw time fly and mom asked Cameron if he would like to stay for dinner.

'If it doesn't bother you all... Then... Yes, I'll gladly accept. Thank you for receiving me more than necessary.' he thanked with a smile.

I may add that each and every time he smiled, my heart started to race at an incredulous fast pace. So fast, that I had to go to the bathroom and wash my face. Looking at myself in the mirror to remind myself that I was with my parents. They couldn't know about our relationship... Was this really our relationship?

Or was it Cameron and the past me? Was it possible that he didn't love me for I am, but who I was and how I look like?

When these questions popped into my head, my heart sank and tears started to appear. Until now I didn't realize how much I truly like him, but what about him? Because he did love the past me. However he didn't really know anything about the present me... I didn't want someone to love me for who I am not.

Then someone knocked at the door.

'Matt, are you finished? Your parents decided to go out to eat since your mother didn't felt like cooking.' Cameron voice came through the door.

I cleaned my face again and looked at my reflection. My eyes were a bit red and puffy. Great...

'Love... You alright?'

Only hearing this word... Love... Was this word really meant for me?

Again tears this time fell freely. And I let myself fall on the floor before curling into a ball.

Then I heard the door unlock, the door opened and Cameron came in. I heard the door closing again before he sat down beside me.

'What's wrong? Why are you crying?' he asked worried.

I refused to answer, only to look into his eyes.

'I could read your mind to know what you're thinking about if I wanted to... But I won't and I'm sure you'll absolutely hate me if I did. However I don't need powers to see that you're confused, troubled, sad and angry. Will you tell me why?' he explained and asked me gently while wiping my tears with his fingers.

I shook my head, still refusing to tell him. I heard him sigh, but he didn't go away. He stayed there with me, saying soothing words.

He only stood up when someone knocked at the bathroom door.

'Mrs. Hunter, Matt isn't feeling well, so please Mr, Hunter, Jessica and you go to the restaurant first and have fun. In the meanwhile I'll stay here with Matt. And as soon as he is feeling better, we will join you.' Cameron explained on the other side of the door.

'I see... Please take care of my son. But let me at least see him before we go.' she said.

'Mrs. Hunter the thing is... Matt vomited a lot and...'

'He puke? Another reason to let me see him!'

'And he puked everywhere! Please don't go in, let me at least clean the bathroom! And don't worry I'll take good care of Matt.'

'I see... Then, please take care of him.' mom reluctantly answered.

If only Cameron had gone with them, I would have time to clear my head...
