Chapter 13

Bad news: Lauren woke up with half a pint of drool rolling down her chin. Good news: The prettiest girl in the world was draped across her. Bad news: The fucking couch they slept on was killing her back. Good news: The prettiest girl in the world was draped across her. Bad news: She couldn't feel her feet from lack of circulation because...Good news: The prettiest girl in the world was draped across her.

She thought about waking Camila up. She had checked the time, but figured the brunette could sleep for another half hour or so. The day before had been a pretty long day for her. Plus, Camila was so cute. Her brown locks were all over the damn place because she had taken her hair down last night. Her hands were curled up right under her chin like she was attempting to ball up. Her mouth was hanging open slightly and her sweatshirt had twisted up just enough to show a sliver of her flat stomach. No, Camila Cabello wasn't just cute, she was seriously fucking adorable. Serfuckadorbs.

Lauren could have spent all morning watching her sleep. Her feet, however, had other ideas. She tried to put it off until they nearly declared mutiny, but finally she had to wiggle her toes to get the blood going. As soon as she wiggled, Camila felt the movement and started to stir.

One brown eye popped open. "Hey."

"Hey."

"You stayed here with me?"

"Of course, I did." Lauren couldn't help but light up. She loved sleepy, mumbly Camila on the phone, but sleepy, mumbly Camila in person was quite the sight.

"What?" she asked, smiling back.

"You."

"Me?" Camila rubbed at her eyes to wake up a little more. "What did I do?"

"You're adorable."

"I probably look terrible," Camila said as she sat up and tried to pat her wild hair down.

"You look great," Lauren told her still grinning like a maniac.

"You're so lying," the brunette shook her head and then stretched her long arms over her head.

"Your hair is a mess, you have a little eye crusty, there's a pillow indention on your face," Lauren pointed out, "and you're still so fucking beautiful."

Camila blushed ten shades of red before she could respond with, "You are charming in the morning, aren't you?"

"I try." Lauren gave her nails a couple of puffs and scratched them on her shirt.

"It's working. Much better than asking about turbulence."

"Ha ha. Are you hungry?" the raven asked as she maneuvered out from under Camila's legs. "I'll make you breakfast. I'll even let you bring me sugar."

"Oh, if you make me breakfast, I'll bring all the sugar you can handle."

"Really? 'Cause I can handle loads of sugar."

As Lauren tried to pass to head into the kitchen, Camila grabbed her hand and gave it a quick pull. The movement stopped her and she turned around to find herself face to face with the brunette. Camila's arms were on their way up and her head was darting down. Lauren braced herself for Amazing Kiss #2 and let her eyes close.

And then Camila hugged her.

Her eyes popped back open and she wrapped her arms around the brunette. Hugs were good. Hugs were cool. Camila hugs were pretty great. The longer she stood there in the embrace, the more she melted. Camila's hands trailed through her hair and then wound tightly around her shoulders. The brunette's nose bumped against her ear and then she heard, "I'm so glad I'm finally here with you."
