The Perks of Being a Lesbian (Camren)

Chapter 13

Lauren wondered if it was possible for her to admire someone this much. She and Camila were currently sitting in the park, studying under a tree. There was a big test coming up in biology class and although Lauren was still ahead of the curriculum, she'd offered to help Camila out. But they'd taken a break and now Lauren couldn't stop staring.

Camila was busy watching the other people in the park so she was distracted, allowing Lauren a perfect opportunity. This was new to her. She'd never felt such an undying need to just look at someone before. But then again she'd been feeling a lot of undying needs around Camila recently, the need to observe the younger girl being the least risqué of them all.

That was the thing. Ever since her injury a couple of days ago, Lauren was having trouble fighting her incessant attraction to Camila. After Camila's little display of affection, the two had continued to hang out in Lauren's room, lying face to face. They were staring again and were so close that their noses were almost touching. It was the closest thing to a kiss they'd had since their visit to Lauren's grandmother's house and she couldn't help but wish she'd gone through with kissing Camila now that she'd been thinking about it.

Sure, she felt a deep connection with the girl emotionally and it was already obvious that Camila had the power to turn her to complete mush, but there was an undeniable physical desire there that Lauren couldn't shake no matter how hard she tried. It nagged at her mind every time Camila bent over and ended up revealing her ample assets or whenever the younger girl bit her bottom lip.

It became especially persistent during their staring sessions when Camila's pools of brown looked deeply into Lauren's green ones, surely having caught a glimpse of her soul by now. It was times like that where Lauren couldn't help being so attracted to Camila.

And one of those moments was right now when Camila was licking her lips, still distracted by the other park-goers, her tongue leaving a sheen of moisture in its wake that glistened in the sun and only tempted Lauren further. Something happened off in the distance that caused Camila to smile, revealing the tiny little dimples at the very corners of her mouth that Lauren had come to discover the day prior.

She couldn't help wondering what it would feel like to kiss her, just a soft little peck that would be over in a millisecond. Maybe then she would be satisfied and would be able to hang out with her best friend without having all of these unnecessary thoughts. It was beginning to be a problem that showed itself even in Camila's absence.

Camila raised her arm to run a hand through her hair and Lauren's heartbeat began picking up. And it only beat even faster once the younger girl looked back at her with a naive little smile on her face. Lauren couldn't help feeling ashamed for thinking so lustfully about someone so pure and innocent. Or at least, as pure and innocent as one could be and still get along with Lauren. Despite trying to leave behind her label of being a manipulative lesbian, she had to admit that she had a knack for rubbing off a bit on those she got close with. But Camila was probably the most innocent person she's been friends with besides Ally. She just seemed so untouched.

It was a shame. Given the opportunity, Lauren would've definitely left her mark.

"What are you thinking about?" Camila asked, now seeming to be sitting much closer than Lauren remembered.

The two had been sitting side by side, but now they were facing one another and they were also really close.

"You." Lauren heard slip out. Her eyes widened once she'd realized her slip-up. How had she gone from being a stuttering mess around Camila to being unable to keep her mouth shut?

"I-I mean, uh..." Ah, yes. There was the stuttering mess.

But Camila just giggled at her. "What about me?"
