Saving You

Chapter 6

Lauren's POV

After my little confession we both fell back asleep and I woke up with my head in Camila's neck. I heard banging on the door and suddenly remembered that Dinah was coming over for a movie night. I slightly pushed on Camila's shoulder.

"Time to get up, baby. Dinah is here and she is bringing the pizza tonight."

"Cheeeech!!"

She popped up so fast and ran down the stairs and opened the door. I smiled to myself and changed into sweatpants and a sweatshirt and also grabbed a sweatshirt for Camila. I walk downstairs and see Camila and Dinah already digging into the pizza and sitting on the couch.

"Dinah wants to watch a scary movie.."

"Hell yes I do chanch!"

"I don't like scary movies."

"Suck it up, buttercup."

I couldn't help but laugh at Camila's irrational fear of scary movies. I grabbed my big black soft blanket and sat on the couch facing the TV and opened my legs.

"Come here, Camz."

She finished up her pizza and put their dishes in the sink.

"Do you want something to drink, Lo?"

"A water bottle, please."

She came back and put the water bottle on the table next to us and I grabbed her hand and put her in between my legs and wrapped the blanket around both of us. I rested my hands on her stomach and lifted up her shirt a little bit to draw circles on her hip bone and she rested right on my chest.

"Jesus Christ will you stop being so cute before I puke? And Chancho you are my cuddle buddy!"

"I'm sorry but I am Lauren's.. Always Lauren's."

I swear in that moment my heart was swelling up so much I thought it was going to explode. I leaned down and gave her a few little kisses on her neck.
Dinah rolled her eyes and her attention was back on the movie. Camila lifted her arm up and placed it on the back of my neck and was softly caressing the skin there. I could feel how tense she was and I knew she didn't enjoy these movies at all.

"It's okay, baby."

And with that she flipped over so we were chest to chest and buried her face in my neck. I wrapped my arms around her petite waist and ran my fingers up and down her spine. Her breathing pattern changed so I knew that she had fallen asleep.

Eventually the movie ended and Camila was completely knocked out.

"Well she seems to have quite the liking for you."

"Yeah, thank god."

"What do you mean thank god?"

"Ugh."

"What did you do, Lauren?"

"I fucked up so bad last night Dinah. I got wasted and tried to have sex with her and she said no and I brought up her history and used it against her and was completely disrespectful. I've never felt like this in my life. When I found her crying upstairs I just wanted to die. I felt like shit."

"What the fuck is wrong with you, Laur? Jesus. I know you were drunk and you know you have a problem with drinking. Don't let this one go, I can see it in your eyes how much you care for her."

"I care about her so much it scares me, D.."

"Then don't fuck it up. If I hear about something like this again I'll personally beat your ass. I love her, Lo."

"I think I'm starting to love her, also.."
