Chapter 50: Real talk and gay revelations

The intercom rang loudly, startling Hailee who had just come home from her shift.

"Hailee" The doorman greeted her by the name "Fallon Carrington for you?"

"Sorry, who?"

"Fallon Carrington" He repeated.

It wasn't possible that this woman came to torment her life even at her home, she couldn't believe it.

"You can send her up" Why did Hailee let her up she didn't know, maybe curiosity? Maybe because she hadn't seen the redhead in almost two days?

The bell rang.

"Hello," Fallon blinked at the door holding a bottle of champagne in one hand and food in the other.

"How do you know my address?" It was the first thing she asked "And what gave you the idea to come here?"

"I thought you would want to see me" The redhead laughed "Did you miss me?"

"In your dreams..."

"Sure enough" Fallon bit her lip "Tell me to go and I'll go, I promise to forget your address and your phone" She looked at the bottle "You can keep the champagne"

Hailee took the bottle out of her hand, it was expensive and tasty and she wouldn't waste it...
She looked at the woman from head to toe, she was wearing a tight mini-skirt that marked all curves along with a typical blazer of her profession that made her drool inside...

"Come on in" She Sighed "Since you're already here..."

Camila's legs were aching from rocking on the chair outside the hospital room. Why was Lauren taking so long?

At least Camila had time to change clothes since she stopped by her apartment before coming with Lauren to the hospital. She'd gone there while Lauren stopped by at Jauregui Corp, something about a meeting she couldn't reschedule.

When Camila got home, she was lucky that Dinah wasn't there, she knew that as soon as she found her sister again she wouldn't stop talking about Camila having spent more than two days away from home but what could she say? Being with Lauren and the girls was addictive and she didn't want to leave at all.

Even packing her clothes in a bag and taking a shower was done very quickly, she didn't know what time Lauren would send a message saying she was coming to get her and she so wanted to go... The raven had asked if Camila would mind going with her to the hospital and the brunette breathed more easily after that, she still thought that Lauren's idea of talking alone with Lucy wasn't very good... She wasn't jealous, she was worried.

But Camila trusted her girlfriend's judgment so she could only sit and wait, and waiting she was...

From a distance, she saw a familiar figure approaching.

"Camila?" Oh no, she looked around but had nowhere to hide "Camila, what are you doing here?"

"Doctor Shawn..." She greeted, seriously, couldn't she have a minute of peace? First Lucy and now Shawn? "How are you?"

"Better now that I saw you" He flirted and Camila fought not to retch "What are you doing in this hall? Pediatrics is the other way, although I don't know if Dinah is there, the last time I saw her she was preparing for surgery" He laughed thinking that Camila was lost.

She was about to reply that she was accompanying her girlfriend - thank God now he would have to leave her alone - when the room door opened and Lauren came out towards them.

Camila tried to study her expression to see what had happened but Lauren looked neutral enough.

"Camila?" Shawn tried to get her attention but she only had eyes for the raven in front of her, finally, he turned to the woman too.

"Camz?" It was Lauren's turn to look at them with half-closed eyes "Is everything okay here?"

"Lauren, yes" She couldn't escape now "Lauren this is Doctor Shawn, my sister's colleague here at the hospital..." She was going to introduce Shawn to Lauren when he interrupted her.

"I want to be much more," He said suggestively "But this brunette is playing hard to get" He laughed at Lauren as if they'd shared a joke and the brunette in question saw Lauren close her expression, great, perfect, it was all she needed, Lauren's jealously.

"Lauren, I..."

"Really?" She said, now completely dry and with dislike towards the doctor and Camila sighed "My name is Lauren Jauregui, I'm Camila's girlfriend"

Shawn's expression was almost worth the headache that was forming, he opened and closed his mouth without knowing what to say, he looked like a fish out of water... Camila held her laughter.

"Camila? Did you..." He cleared his throat and muttered under his breath "Are you gay?"

"Doctor Shawn, excuse me," She said pulling Lauren away from him "We better get going..."

The two left leaving Dr. Shawn, still in shock behind.

"I'm sorry," Lauren said after a few seconds of silence, she was frowning "I shouldn't have made that statement, I'm not your owner..."

"Lauren, you ARE my girlfriend" Camila laughed without understanding why Lauren was frowning, if someone had flirted with Lauren in front of her she would have done the same "You didn't say anything inappropriate, I was going to introduce you formally but he's stubborn"

"Don't you think I take away your independence?" She asked suddenly, stopping in the middle of the hospital corridor "Don't you think I control you?"

"What?" Camila was confused "Where did you get this from? Of course not"

"Don't you think our employer and subordinate relationship makes you vulnerable?" Lauren continued to ask, "Don't you think it's disproportionate? Don't you think it hurts our relationship when I sign your check? Your salary?" Okay, something had happened with Lucy for Lauren to be talking like that.

"Lauren..."

"I think you've to resign"

"Lauren, how crazy is that?" Camila started to get desperate, she didn't want to change jobs at all "I love my job, I love being with the girls and I love being with you" She held the woman's shoulders "I don't want to work with anything else and I don't feel" She Pulled the woman's head in her direction "Look at me, I don't feel vulnerable working for you at all, our lines have always been very clear"

Lauren nodded, taking a deep breath.

"Are you sure?" She asked biting her lips "I don't want to feel obligated or trapped..."

"Never" Camila denied and laughed "Never!" confirmed.

"Ok" Lauren breathed relieved "Ok"

"Where did you get that from?" Camila had her suspicions "It was that woman, right? Lucy?" Lauren was silent and Camila had her answer.

"Lauren look me in the eye" She did "I'll say it out loud for you to assimilate" Camila sighed "I'm not Lucy and nothing that applied to her, applies to me..." Lauren looked at her curiously "Do me a favor and don't compare me to her anymore" Camila laughed "It offends me"

Camila considered it a victory when Lauren accompanied her in laughter.

"I'm sorry" Lauren kissed her quickly "Sorry, I wasn't thinking..."

"Clearly" Camila laughed "You are forgiven"

Lauren opened her mouth to say something when her cell phone beep interrupted her, looking at the screen, Lauren's expression darkened and Camila knew that whatever it was, it would ruin her day.
