Camila's POV
After having breakfast, Lauren and I went out for a walk at the central park. Normani and Keana also joined us. We enjoyed the winter and the snow while it lasted. We also had lunch at the nearby restaurant and stopped at some shops before returning to the hotel. I bought some snacks since I could not live without them. Lauren also bought me a bikini after knowing that I didn't bring any when we talked about the facilities of the hotel that we could use, such as the indoor swimming pool, the gym, the sauna, and the spa. She did not only get me the bikini but also some clothes.
We spent our afternoon watching a movie, having a conversation, and taking a nap. In the late afternoon, Lauren went to the gym with Normani, and I went swimming with Keana. We met at the sauna after doing our exercise. Four of us had our dinner at the hotel restaurant. I enjoyed their companionship even though sometimes I could not relate and did not know what they were talking about. Nevertheless, they never ignored me or excluded me from the conversation. I felt comfortable, being around them, even though their lifestyle was way more sophisticated than mine.
"Did you enjoy the dinner?" Lauren asked when we were back in our room.
"Yes, it was amazing." We sat in the living area. We kept the room dimly lit to enjoy the city night view from the big window.
"We are going home tomorrow." She sipped her red wine. She occasionally drank, but she said she wanted to reduce it, starting this year.
"What time should we leave?" I laid my head on her left arm, and she lifted her arm so I could lie on her chest.
"Before twelve, we can leave around eleven after breakfast." She said.
"Okay, thank you for everything." I enjoyed the party, the food, the gifts, the company, the hotel, the bed, and her kisses and caresses. "You've spoiled me," I said.
She smiled and kissed my forehead, "everything for you, babe."
"I am so lucky to be your girlfriend." I looked at her.
"So, am I," she replied.
"Lauren..." I doubted.
"What?" She frowned.
"Come on, people would easily agree with me, not you..." I meant. She was Ms. J. People would agree that I was lucky to be her girlfriend, not the other way around. I was nobody. "Let's be real... you are Ms. J and I am just an ordinary girl."
"You are right, they probably would say so, but not me." She replied, "I know I am more than lucky you are my girlfriend. It's a miracle."
I smiled weakly, "I don't even know what you see in me, what you like about me..." I meant: look at those women she had been with, whether it was casual or not, if they were not the successful ones, or famous ones, at least they were stunning.
"What matters most is what my heart feels, the rest is unimportant." She answered.
"That's it?" I frowned.
"Yes! Do you need other reasons?" She said. "I don't need it."
"I mean..." I pouted. "It's hard to think you will like someone like me..."
"What do you mean someone like you?" She asked. "I did not see something wrong."
"Lauren, I am sure you know what I mean. It is just hard to think about how you even like me, even though I know our feelings are mutual?!" I looked at her.
