Camila's POV
It would be the last night I stayed at Lauren's place. Everything at this residence would start getting back to normal tomorrow. Mrs. Wilson would be back and other staff, too. Lauren had three security guys, two drivers, one pilot, a gardener Mr. Penn who took care of all the animals on her land, and Mrs. Wilson who was the house manager and was assisted by two female staff. Although they did not live here and most of them stayed outside during working hours, except Mrs. Wilson and the two female staff, I did not think it would feel convenient to stay here when they were around.
"You can stay until Monday," Lauren said when we enjoyed our evening, sitting on the sofa at the patio, after having our dinner.
"No, I want to go home. I miss my apartment and my bed." I did miss my place. I had been away for more than a week now. It was nothing fancy, but I missed it.
"Are you shy?" She asked me.
"Eh?" I looked at her.
"Are you afraid of what others will say when you stay here?" She looked at me in the eyes.
"..." I did not tell her but she knew I would feel awkward staying here if others were around.
"This is my place and you are my girlfriend now. You can stay whenever you want." She said.
I smiled at her, "Thanks! But, I am still your staff, too. I just want to be fair."
"What do you mean?" She frowned.
"I mean... I am your staff, too, I don't want you to treat me more favorably than others." I hoped she got what I meant. I knew it was complicated. I was her staff and girlfriend at the same time.
"I see, but you are my girlfriend, too." She said. "So, nothing is unfair if I treat you specially."
"It sounds complicated," I chuckled, feeling a bit nervous thinking about it.
Lauren moved closer and pulled me into her embrace. "It is not, and don't complicate things! You are not my staff, tho. If you want to talk about treating you favorably, I have been doing it since the start."
I looked at her, trying to understand what she meant. I could only pout since she was right tho, considering how much she paid me, cared about my safety, how she treated me, and offered me the free mentorship.
She smiled, "I never see you as my staff. You are just that random girl I met who can temporarily help me with my dogs, whom I wanted to kiss, whom I wanted to be with, and who I am falling in love with..." she caressed my face before she kissed me. "So, don't overthink!"
"Okay..." I could only agree.
"They soon will know you are my girlfriend, so, everything is good." She kissed and caressed my head.
"But I still miss my bed," I missed my apartment, and I also needed time alone to process everything.
"Yeah, you can go home, but stay whenever possible." She did not stop caressing my head.
I looked at her, "are you sure?"
"Yes, I don't see why not, it will be convenient for me." She broadly smiled.
I looked at her suspiciously, "convenient?!"
"Yes, I can kiss you. I don't know how to go a day without kissing you now." She replied. I playfully rolled my eyes at her. "You wouldn't miss my kiss?" She asked me.
