The Dancing Girl in The Painting ** (Camren)

Chapter 23: Felt Bad

Lauren's POV

I was lying in this luxury bed. I could not fall asleep. I might be too happy today. I got up and opened the door and I found Camila standing in front of my room.

"Camila?" I called her name in a low voice. I wondered what she was doing here in front of my bedroom. Could not she fall asleep like me? I was thinking of her. Was she also thinking of me? She was wearing an above knee-length nightgown. She looked... sexy. I could even see her nipples under her wine-red silk nightwear.

I called her again, "Camila, what are you doing here?" She did not answer me but shyly looking at me. I studied her brown eyes, her beautiful nose, and her kissable lips. I looked into her eyes again if she would feel uncomfortable if I was looking at her like that. She did not show any sign of discomfort. I continued looking at her neck, her sexy shoulders, and her smooth skin. I traveled down on her not-so-big breasts and her erect nipples. I would like to touch them if she let me.

I looked at her again and she was looking at me. I continued further down to her sexy legs. I gulped when she stepped closer. I drank in her scent. She smelled so good so intoxicating, but a good kind of intoxication. I stepped closer and I wanted to touch her lips. I hope she did not mind. I would like to taste her lips.

"Camila..., may I..." I lifted my hand touching her chin.

"Lauren!"

"Camila..."

"Lauren!!" She called me again

"Lauren!!!" My name was called again but it was not her voice this time. It was Sofia's voice. I was slowly waking up and I realized I was dreaming.

"Happy birthday to you..." I opened my eyes slowly. I saw Sofia, Camila, and Mrs. Harris. They were standing next to my bed singing the birthday song for me. I looked at them one by one and I smiled weakly. Realizing what I was dreaming, I sat up and bring a pillow to my lap even though I was covered with a duvet. I was sure I had morning wood. I hope they did not see it. It would be too embarrassing.

"Happy birthday, Lauren...." Sofia pushed the cart to bring the cake closer to me to blow the candles off. I smiled and I closed my eyes to make a wish before I blew them off. They were clapping.

"Happy birthday, Lauren," Sofia said.

"Thank you, Sofi."

"Happy birthday, Lauren." Camila and Mrs. Harris said almost at the same time.

"Thank you... how do you know?"

"Camila knows." Mrs. Harris said.

"Kaki's idea to surprise you in the early morning," Sofia said. She started calling Camila Kaki in front of me yesterday. She used to address Camila Camila in front of me. 

I looked at Camila. She was just standing there by the end of the bed with her small smile.

"Oh, thank you, Camila! You make me happy." I said.

"Mrs. Harris is the one who made the cake."

"Thank you, Mrs. Harris. It is so big." It was big enough that they used the cart.

"My pleasure, Lauren."

"Yes, it is so big, we can share with everybody." Sofia was so excited.
