The seventh time it happens isn't the last time it does, but Lauren wants it that way.

Dinah takes the ball this time though, waiting at The Spot before her shoulders sag, turning to Lauren with an annoyed "It's your girlfriend."

Lauren doesn't say anything, just takes the ball and jogs towards Camila to meet her halfway. She hopes none of her team members can hear Camila or Lauren.

"Here you go, babe." Lauren says, cheeks going pink at the new nickname. She's not quite used to calling Camila 'babe.' Camila takes it with a smirk.

"See you tonight?" The soccer captain asks, biting her lip. "I'll be waiting in my dorm."

"And can I get to second base today?" Camila asks playfully. "Maybe third, if you're lucky." Lauren winks.

Lauren and Camila peck each other on the lips, and the younger knows that the back of her neck and ears must look like tomatoes right now. Lauren turns back and goes, but not before Camila gives her a light tap on the butt.

When she gets close to her team members, everyone is silent, presumably shocked from what just transpired in the last couple of minutes.

Ally breaks the silence though. "Are you guys actually dating?"

Lauren rubs the back of her neck. "Yeah, kind of."

"I knew it!" Someone says from the side. Lauren thinks the voice belongs to Jade. There's a chorus of whoops and yays and so cutes !

"Finally, I thought I would suffocate from the amount of sexual tension hanging in the air!" Dinah teases, but Lauren's head is too high in the clouds to care about it.

After practice, Camila waits for Lauren by the bleachers. She's leaning on it with a duffle bag on her shoulder and a soccer ball in hand, sweaty hair matted to her forehead. The older girl has to admit that she looks really attractive like that.

"Ready to go?" Camila asks coolly. Lauren can't believe her luck. "I'm ready."
