Chapter 40: Sweet dreams taste like you

Camila left Liv asleep, not without first registering the cuteness of the girl with a photo, and closed the door.

"Hi" Lauren was sitting in the hallway facing her daughter's room, had she overheard the conversation? Camila almost jumped in fright.

"Lauren, did you stay there all the time?" She sat beside her exhausted, the conversation with Liv had destroyed her from the inside.

Lauren just nodded.

"I'm sorry I overheard the conversation without you knowing it, but I needed to understand ..." Lauren sighed "I was hasty, as always ..."

"Yes" Camila agreed but she'd already forgiven Lauren for the phone call, she knew that mother's love was difficult to understand and Lauren's especially was very hard of all the baggage that comes with it.

"Can you forgive me? I shouldn't have said that we couldn't see each other anymore, and over the phone no less but I just panicked thinking of Liv..."

"You're already forgiven" Camila smiled gently and took her hand in for a kiss "I have no illusions that we won't fight, Lo, I just want the opportunity for us to talk in any situation" she sighed "Despite everything, you did it today... you heard me even over your panic and you let me come here and talk to liv" she pointed to the bedroom door "that's proof that you wanted us to work it out too and look, we're okay now"

Lauren was silent.

"We are okay, right?" She wanted to confirm that they were still together.

"Okay, yes" Lauren agreed "If you still want me..."

"I want all of you" She kissed the raven slowly and Lauren sighed on her lips.

"I think Liv will have to go to therapy too" Lauren confessed after a few seconds "I admit I was so worried about Luna that I ended up leaving her feelings aside... I didn't know she was feeling so much, she's always been so good with everything..."

"Children are like that Lo" Camila agreed "Sometimes they give you signs that they aren't well, like Luna, other times they hide what they're feeling, like Liv" Camila smiled kindly "And I can see a little bit of you in both of them"

Lauren's eyes lit up.

"You think so?"

"They're your daughters after all"

Lauren smiled and kissed her back for a few seconds before pulling away and sighing. Getting up slowly, the two of them stayed there just absorbing from each other's presence until Lauren murmured.

"It's very late"

"Yes" Camila agreed, she'd gone to bed a little later than usual and still came here, not that she regretted it, she'd do it again as many times as needed.

"The guest room is always ready" Lauren blushed "Maybe you should sleep here tonight"

"If you're sure..."

"Yes" Lauren nodded and headed towards the room where Camila would stay, the brunette just smiled in relief, at least she would still get a few hours of sleep...

She couldn't forget to tell Dinah that she'd come to sleep here, she'd left so quickly that she hadn't even spoken to her sister, in her defense, Dinah was asleep already.

Lauren said that she'd leave her alone and that she could find everything she needed in the cupboards so, with a good night kiss, the raven went to her master bedroom, leaving Camila alone.

Quickly she sent an audio explaining everything to Dinah and then changed clothes, she didn't see the need to take another shower having had one already at home.
