Halfway Gone (Camren)

Chapter 19: Fighter In My Heart

Lauren's POV

Today's the day.

Today's the day I fight with everything in me.

I turn over in bed, to find Camila looking at me from her pillow.

"Hey" my husky morning voice spoke.

She smiled, "good morning baby"

*BANG BANG*

My eyes widen, I wasn't expecting any visitors so early in the morning. I sit up quickly, and push my arm in front of her chest to protect her, but she speaks up.

"It's okay Lolo, it's just my security escort for today, and Dinah might be coming soon too."

I breathe a sigh of relief as she gets up to open the front door.

"No-you listen punk, I'm Lauren's best friend so you better back the hell up"

I race over toward Dinah's distress, knowing someone had crossed a line. I saw Camila trying to relieve the situation, to no success. I weighed in, "Dinah, please come on in."

She made sure to nudge the muscle hunk on her way in.

"And who are you?" I ask curiously.

"Skitt, I'm here to protect Camila for today."

Hmph, I can do that on my own, why does she need some stupid guy to protect her?

I look over at Camila, unsure about it, "Camz- are you sure..."

She sensed I was uncomfortable, she gently grasped my face with both her hands and leaned into my lips softly, planting a little smooch in front of him.

"It's okay Lolo. I'm going for you, Skitt is coming to protect Dinah and I when you are in the ring fighting." She gave me a reassuring look and a nod at the end of her sentence. It made me worry a little bit less.

"Mmkay Camz" I mumble, while completely lost in her eyes.

"I'll wait outside beside the car." Skitt made clear, then scurried off.

I found myself still lost in my girl's eyes. I just couldn't break the gaze, I loved her so much and my heart just beat differently around her. She was with me everyday, yet she still makes me nervous. She's making me nervous right now.

"Lolo?" She places her hand under my chin elegantly.

"Ye-yeah?" My mouth glitches.

"I lov-"

"Y'all gonna make out or somethin?" Dinah stood there like she had been there the whole time.

It broke our gaze, and we both looked in her direction, disappointed she had ruined the moment.

"What? Don't mind me, I'm happy to watch!" She giggled

"Sounds good to me then." Camila shrugged, then crashed her lips onto mine. I sensed her playfulness and went along with it, smiling deeply into the kiss, making sure to use extra tongue in diligence to Dinah's jaw drop.

I swift Camila's hips into me, pulling her in, along with my hand snaking in her hair.

We decide to end it before it got too hot and heavy, looking over in Dinah's direction to see her reaction.

The Polynesian spoke up, "You guys better stop doing that, or imma jump out of this window and fall on Skitt"

We chuckle together, and made our way to the kitchen and start to make breakfast to start this 'normal' day.
