26th April, 2009
It had been quite a while since Gabby had met Cameron in Nevada, of course that's where she had lived at the time, but she didn't want to live there anymore, it had too many painful memories of Jacob and she needed to move on from that, move on from her old life with him, and look to the future. One of the only ways she felt she could do this was by moving to a new state altogether.
So, she took herself off to New York because she knew that's where Cameron was from, she hoped her moving to New York wouldn't scare him away, but it wasn't just for Cameron she moved there, it was to get away from her old memories. She needed to start a new life. Where better to start it than somewhere completely different to her memory? Who better to start it with than Cameron, if he felt the same way about her that was.
She had sent him a text telling him she was in Brooklyn and could he meet her at a cafe called Benny's, from what she knew it wasn't too far away from where Cameron's apartment was, but she didn't know the exact address. So, now she was sitting in the cafe waiting for him to appear, she was pretty nervous about it, because she wanted to know if there were deeper feelings there with him, or if it was just herself.

Cameron was a guest lecturer at one of his friend’s classes at Columbia University. He was talking about Astrophysics and the class discussion ended in debating about some Science Fiction shows. He really couldn’t believe that these students at an Ivy League School would want to debate Sci-Fi shows. He didn’t expect any of them to be fans. The class ended and the students wanted him back. He told them that he would come back.
As he was leaving the campus to go home he received a text message from someone that he hadn’t heard in a while. It was Gabriella or Gabby as he called her. He decided that he would go to Benny’s. He was hungry. He then text messaged her back and told her that he was on his way. He whistled for a cab and told the cabbie where he wanted him to drive him to.
About fifteen minutes later, the cab arrived at the destination. He gave the cabbie the fee and a tip. Cameron then got out of the cab and headed into the restaurant to see if he could find Gabby and he did. He did find her. He made his way over to where she was sitting and sat across from her. “Hey!” He exclaimed. “What brings you to New York!?” He asked with a big smile on his face. He secretly missed her and couldn’t stop thinking about her.

Gabby was happy when she got the text back from Cameron agreeing to meet her at the cafe. She had really missed him since that first meeting and more than anything she just wanted to know if he felt the same way or not. She wasn't waiting too long before he arrived which was great, but Gabby suddenly felt very nervous and a little tongue tied at first when he spoke to her. She noticed the huge smile he gave her and it made her smile back with a slight blush included.
"Hey Cameron" she said softly, and then looked away for a few seconds before facing him again when he asked what brought her to New York. How should she answer that question? Should she just come right out and say I'm here for you? Or be more diplomatic about it saying she was starting a new life? She decided that with the look Cameron gave her it wouldn't do any harm to actually admit that it was both reasons.
"Well I felt I needed a new start Cameron, too many painful memories of the past in Nevada for me, and to be honest, I also came for you" she said and immediately blushed, and slightly regretted saying the last part, what if he didn't like it, what if it scared him away? Truth was, she had felt a connection between them in Las Vegas that time, and she didn't want it to end.
"I'm sorry if that seems a little forward or strong, but I couldn't help but think there was a connection between us back in Nevada and I was wondering how you felt?" she asked him, as she looked away again, feeling somewhat embarrassed for having asked him the question, and yet at the same time glad that she had.

Cameron was still smiling at her and he noticed that she was blushing. “Hello” He said with a slight nod, wondering if she would answer his question or not. It was just a simple question that could be answer in simple conversations, but sometimes it took people a long time to figure out why they were here or not. He waited patiently for her response.
He tilted his head as she finally spoke. She had came for him. It was kind of freaky to learn this. He was just in Vegas for one thing and he ended up picking up a girl who followed him all the way to New York, perhaps this was his destiny. It just felt odd. He nodded, “I see” he managed to say unsure what else to say.
He listened to her somemore and nodded. He felt the exact same way and it kind of felt odd. He smiled. “Actually, I feel the same way” He said with a slight smile. It was kind of odd to admit this, but he indeed felt the connection. He didn’t know why, but he just did. He looked into her eyes. The eyes were the soul of the body and her eyes were just beautiful.

She hadn't realised she'd taken so long to reply back to Cameron until she felt he silence that had fallen between them and she hated awkward silences. However, when she had answered him she wasn't even sure she was going to like his response, and when he said 'I see' she began to think she'd made a terrible mistake coming here.
"I....I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have come" she stammered over her words ever so slightly. It was some what embarrassing, but then if it was embarrassing for Gabby, just how embarrassing was it for Cameron. However, she didn't leave, instead she said it was because she had felt a connection in Nevada, and thankfully Cameron said he'd felt it too.
There was no denying the fact that it was odd to have felt a connection so quickly but she couldn't deny it and neither could he, so it immediately made Gabby feel much better.
"I'm pleased to hear it Cameron, was beginning to think I was about to make a fool of myself" she said with a slight nervous laugh as she stared into his eyes. Those eyes she had felt herself lost in back in Nevada that night. "I don't expect to go into a full blown relationship right away or anything" she said quickly, as she felt herself blushing again.
Although she couldn't deny that it would be wonderful to have a photograph of the two of them together, and be able to say to friends, this was her boyfriend. It would be amazing, but she took the thought out of her head and sighed lightly. She had to calm down, she couldn't chase him away. One step at a time Gabby, one step at a time.

Perhaps saying ‘I see’ was a bad idea. He was feeling quiet embarrassed now. He usually didn’t speak in two words. He usually gave more then what was needed and it pissed off a few people. However, that was just his lousy personality. Okay his personality wasn’t lousy, but sometimes it felt lousy to him. He looked down at the table.
He only looked down at the table for a few moments when Gabby finally spoke. He looked up to her and shook his head. “No, no it’s fine” He said as he waited for her to leave, but she didn’t so he replied, “I’m glad to see you geeze you just caught me at an awkward time that is all” He said with a smile. It was hard to even admit that at an awkward time.
He then realized that his last statement didn’t quite make since. Geeze, everything is going too fast He thought to himself as he looked at her and nodded when she said that she was pleased to hear that he thought he felt a connection to her. He was going to say something when the waiter came over and asked him what he wanted to drink. He ordered a ‘Corona’ and turned his attention back to Gabby.
He noticed that she was blushing again. He took off his glasses and smile. “Good because I like to take things slowly, but not very slow” He said with a slight smirk. “So if you’re looking to stay in New York, the building next to my apartment building has openings” He said trying to help her out. He didn’t mind having her live next to him. It would be nice to have people he knew to live by him. His old friend was now residing in DC. “Plus it would be good on my ego, my cousin bores me and he lives next store” He said shaking his head.

Gabby felt really stupid having come to New York when she should have made sure it was what Cameron would have wanted. So she hadn't just moved to New York for Cameron, she'd moved to start a new life, but she should have known that it might still have freaked Cameron out a little. After all, they only had that one day and night, yet here she was talking about having immediate connections. It was stupid.
However, she was glad when he said that it was alright she had come, and that he was pleased to see her. "Alright, sorry, I just, well you know, got a bit worried thinking I may have made a stupid decision to move here, wouldn't want to scare you away or anything" Gabby tried to explain some more. However, he smiled at her, so allowed herself to smile back.
When the waiter came over and asked for their order, Gabby asked for a Smirnoff ice, and then turned her attention back to Cameron again. She was still blushing, and she immediately felt herself smile when she saw Cameron take off his glasses. With or without them he looked so handsome, and his eyes were mesmerising. She could lose herself in them, she noticed that about him the first time they met, and she was noticing it about him now.
She felt herself blush and smile again when Cameron said he liked to take things slowly, just not very slow, that just about suited Gabby, she was more or less thinking the same thing herself. "Well that sounds good to me Cameron" she replied with a smile.
Gabby felt herself break out into a big smile when Cameron spoke of apartments next to his which were vacant and she could move into one of them. That would be amazing, to be that close to him, and yet still have her Independence at the same time. "That would be totally amazing Cameron, thank you so much, I'd really like that" Gabby replied, maybe a little over enthusiastic, but she had just arrived on a whim without really thinking anything through properly.
She laughed when he spoke of his cousin and how he bores him, "Well, hopefully I wont bore you" Gabby said, slightly teasing, smiling and raising her eyebrow. "So, Mr Osborne, do you have any suggestions as to what we can do after our little drink?" she asked, not that sitting in the cafe bar drinking wasn't pleasant, but Gabby was thinking, maybe a nice walk in the sunset or something equally silly and romantic.

Cameron didn’t really know what to say. He was just having a shy moment. He was never shy and just wanted to hide that part. He had to hide that part. It was absolutely necessary. No one needed to know that he was a shy person. They just didn’t need to know. It was his little secret and perhaps he wasn’t doing a good a job. Perhaps she could sense that he was being shy. He hoped indeed that she didn’t notice it.
He did felt awkward to see her. It was just an awkward time that was all it would seem to him. He smiled and nodded. “Of course you didn’t make a stupid decision” He said with a slight grin as he looked into her gorgeous eyes. She just had the most amazing eyes. He could see why he was falling for her it was because of her eyes.
She also ordered drink a Smirnoff Ice. He smiled again as he took off his glasses. He only needed his glasses for reading and he could survive without his glasses. He could wear contacts, but he was just kind of lazy. Lazy indeed to wear contacts. He would always forget that they were in and wear his glasses. He noticed that she was blushing. He just smiled – not saying a word.
He looked down at the table and wondered what she would think about taking things slow. He knew that it kind of was a bit of push, but he wanted a relationship, but…not dive into one quickly. He looked up as she told him that it sounded good. He smiled again. “Good” He managed to say as their drinks finally came.
He placed his hand on his Corona and took the lime off the side of the bottle and squeezed the lime juice into the beer and then placed the lemon inside the bottle and drank the beer. He smiled when Gabby said that would be amazing to his response to an apartment. “No problem” He said with a slight nod as he held up his beer. “A toast to our new friendship and relationship” He said with a smile as he held his bottle in midair waiting for her to toast one his bottle.
“I don’t think you would bore me” He said as his face turned a bit red. “I mean c’mon it kind of gets boring about writing an episode transcript for a SCI-FI show, though I have written some of the transcripts that are yet to be aired” He replied shaking his head as he chuckled, “Well, we could have a nice sunset walk in Central Park” He suggested.
