Intertwined

Chapter 5

I looked at Camila in shock once she pulled away. She just kissed me. Camila Cabello just kissed me. Holy crap.

"Lauren, I-" She started but I cut her off before she could say anything else.

"Camz why'd you do that?"

"I- I uh don't know. I've- uh liked you since the X Factor and- um I thought that maybe kissing you would um help me figure out how I feel about you," she said lightly blushing. Her eyes were looking towards the ground so I placed my index finger under her chin and lifted her head up so that her eyes looked into mine. "And did it help you figure it out?" I asked curiously with a slight smirk.

"Yeah." She whispered looking back down again embarrassed. "Are you gonna tell me?" I ask. She is hesitant as she thinks for a moment but then whispers so quietly that I almost didn't catch what she said.

"I'm falling in love with you." She looks up at me to see my reaction. I must look really confused and shocked. I mean I never thought anyone could fall for someone like me. I'm a broken mess; an extra weight people don't want to carry. I'm not someone that you would ever even think about falling in love with. I've had a small crush on Camila since X Factor too but I thought it was just nothing. I'm not even sure she would want to stick around after she finds out how much I drag her down.

"Camila, I've had a small crush on you since the X Factor too..." Her face beams with hope. "But Camz, I have a question for you. If we were to date, would you leave me once you found out how much of a worthless extra weight I am to you?" I say and her small smile disappears as her eyes fill with sadness but there's another emotion in those brown eyes...determination? 

"I would never leave you because you were an 'extra weight'. Lauren, I don't care if you are broken. I will be here to fix you along the way. As a matter of fact, I like fixing things even though I'm incredibly clumsy." We both giggle and she continues, "And if you think you will be an 'extra weight' on me, guess what? I will take you in my arms and carry you for as long as you'll allow me to. You're weight I don't want to lose. I have no idea if this speech makes any sense BUT all I'm trying to say is, I won't let go of you." She finishes off. 

"Soooo um what do I say now." I say awkwardly, not knowing what to say next.

"Okay?" She suggests.

"Okay" I reply, a smile spreading across my lips.

"FORGIVE ME LAUREN BUT MY FEELS ARE CALLING. THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME! THE FAULT IN OUR STARS JUST HAPPENED RIGHT THERE! LAUREN DO YOU FEEL THE FEELS?!" Camila freaks out. I let her fangirl for a moment. I just stand there and chuckle as she jumps up and down claiming that the fangirling 'feels' are too much for her at the moment.

She stops suddenly and turns slowly towards me, grabbing my hand and leading me towards my bed, making me sit down. I looked at her very much confused. A smile formed on her face before she ran out of the room, then running back in a moment later. She smiled widely at me before getting on one knee, pulling out a ring made out of candy.

"Lauren. My sweet, sweet Lauren. I really like you and I have candy. If you go on a date with me tomorrow, I will share my candy with you. So Lolo...will you go out with me?" She asked cutely with a puppy face. I giggled at how adorable she is. "Yes Camila, I will go out with you."

"Laurbear, I'm not counting that kiss we just had as our first kiss. It has to be more romantic. Like it's supposed to be at a special moment, like movies and-" I cut her off by smashing my lips onto hers. My arms wrapped around her neck and her arms around my waist. Butterflies filled my stomach as our lips moved in perfect sync. I felt fireworks everywhere. She pulled away making me almost groan in annoyance. I almost instantly missed her soft, pink lips on mine. "Never mind on the romantic, movie-like kiss. That was perfect." She said before pecking my lips and skipping off in the direction of her room. I decided to change because my parents will be taking me out to dinner in a few hours. They wanted to have dinner with me before they go back to the hotel to pack and leave early in the morning. I changed into a long-sleeved black dress that went down mid-thigh. It didn't fit me, like seriously, it hung off my body. Camila came back in, looking over at me and then said, "Lolo, that dress is WAY too big on you. I'm seriously going to help you through this. You are gonna eat. This dress fit you perfectly a couple weeks ago. You've lost too much weight in way too little time and that is really, really unhealthy. Here, let me help you find something."
