Lauren POV

Today's the day.

I'm gonna ask her to be my girlfriend tonight and to say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I'm scared shitless.

I was just getting off work before I sent a text to Camila saying I'll pick her up at seven. I wanted to make this night memorable by taking her to one off my favorite places by the beach and have a picnic with all her and my favorite foods and then after take a walk on the beach or just lay back and gaze up at the stars but I don't know they say great things happen in your life that are not part of the plan so to not become a nervous wreck the whole entire date I'm just gonna go with the flow and not overthink it.

Camila calls me and tells me her best friend Dinah is going to babysit Lo and Le at her house and wanted to know if Zoey wanted to come over and play with them until our date was over. I said I would have to meet this Dinah first but agreed none of the less.

It was now six and I just got out of the shower heading to my closet looking for something to wear. I picked out a pair of dark hi waisted jeans with a sleeveless white top and white wedges. After putting on my clothes I curled my hair and put minimal make up on and to finish it off my signature red lipstick. Checking the time seeing it's now 6:15 I walked over to my full length mirror and looked at my self doing a once over feeling satisfied and walked to Zoey's room.

I knocked on her door before coming in.
"Hey you ready to go over?"

"Wow mom you look hot!" Zoey says standing up from her toys walking over to her closet retrieving her sketchers putting them on.

"Thanks pumpkin and I called grandma and told her your gonna be going to Camila's and hanging out with Logan and Levi and Camz best friend Dinah until we get back." I said leaning against the door frame.

"Logan and Levi told me about her. They say she's really funny." Zoey grunts getting up making her way to her momma.

"Well then you have no problem with making friends with her" I said taking her hands leading up down the stairs.

I tell her to wait by the door while I jogged in the kitchen and got the picnic basket out of the fridge so the food would stay fresh and grabbed a blanket for us to sit on.

"Okay let's go." I say putting the alarm on and head to the car.

After a few moments of comfortable silence Zoey speaks up. "So are you gonna do it tonight?" She says looking at me through the rear view mirror a small smirk etched on her face. I whip my head around looking at her wondering what she meant by that. Trying not to get the wrong idea "what you do mean?" I uttered clearing my throat feeling a blush coming on.

"You know what I mean mom." Zoey scoffs thinking it was obvious. I shrug still not getting it and she then lets out a groan rolling her eyes. "I'm trying to say is that are you going to ask her to be your girlfriend tonight?" She says with duh tone. "O-oh yeah I was hoping so. Why? Are you okay with that?"  I say hesitating hoping the outcome doesn't turn out with a no it's not okay. "Okay?! Of Course it's okay! I was wondering when you were gonna stop being a scary cat and tell her." She said gazing out the window. Okay Is my daughter 6 or 16?? Where does she get it. "Oh well I didn't know you wanted me too or would approve. I just want you to be happy Zoe." I voice pulling into the Cabello estate parking the car.

"Mommy does she make you happy?" Zoey says looking at me with soft expression.

"Yeah kiddo she makes me very happy." I reply with a soft smile just thinking about the tan skinned beauty not only twenty feet away.

"Well then I'm happy too. All I ever wanted was for you to be happy after momma left us. I know it was hard for us but now your getting back that happiness with Camila. I like her too and I approve." She says giving me an infectious grin with two thumbs.

I look at her with a tears brimming my eyes blinking them away not wanting to ruin my make up. I cant help but grin back at her thinking how in the world is she so wise.

I walk around and open her door and giving her a tight hug before taking her out of her car seat putting her on the ground. "When did you get so smart?" I said bopping her nose as we make our way up the pathway.

"Well I learned from the best....Grandma has taught me well." She says with a smirk.

Wow. "Smart ass." I mutter under my breath. From my sweet enduring child back to my annoying brat. But I wouldn't trade her for a thing.

I ring the doorbell and wait with a single rose in my hand I got after picking Zoey up from school.

The door opens and I see the two boys open it. "Hey guys." Zoey says waving running inside. I make my way inside too and stand by the door. "What's up loganator and levister!" I say putting out a fist for them to bump. Levi shakes his head putting a hand over mine bringing it down. "Tonight it's Levi and Logan to you" Levi  says crossing his arms. "Now lets get down to it. What are your intentions with our mother?" Logan says trying to sound intimidating. "Are you guys serious.?" I laugh letting it falter when there faces looked nothing  but seriousness. "I-uh my intentions are making her happy of course. She deserves to be respected and treated like the princess she is." I said confidently because it's the truth.

The twins look at each other and nod approvingly. "Have her home no later than 11 missy." Levi says pointing a finger at me.

"That's enough boys I think I can take it from here." Camila says walking up to her kids giving them a knowing look. They give me one last glance before running off with Zoey right behind them. "I'm sorry about that." The brown eyed beauty says wrapping her arms around my neck giving me an apologetic smile. I wrap arms around her waist giving her hips a light squeeze. "It's fine. It was cute. Little intimidated but cute. By the way you look absolutely stunning." I say admiring at what she's wearing. "Thank you and you don't look too bad your Jauregui." The brunette says with a knowing smirk leaning in claiming my lips giving it a soft peck. Leading into another and another causing me to deepen the kiss before hearing some clear there throat.
I slowly let go of Camila to see a tall blonde woman around our age with her hands on her hips looking between us with a smirk grazed upon her lips.

"Oh Um Lauren this is my best friend Dinah Jane Hansen. Dinah this is Lauren." Camila says introducing us.

I extend my hand out and she shakes it firmly before releasing. "So your the Lauren Camila just can't shut up about. Damn Mila your right she is smokin hot!" Dinah exclaims.

"Dinah what the hell!" The smaller girl says giving her a 'what the fuck!' look with slightly red cheeks. "Well damn excuse me!" The blonde girl says with her hands up in surrender. I just stifle a laugh at the two bickering. "Well you crazy kids have fun! But not to much! And Zoey's in great hands Lauren." She says turning around waving us off before disappearing up stairs.

"Well then we should get going." I say braking the silence. "Yeah let me get my purse." She says running to go get it. I nod and wait for her to come back.

"Okay let's go" Camila says walking to the door opening it for me. "Thank you."

She locks the door before we walk to the car interlacing our fingers as we walk to my car. I open the door for her and shut it gently after before walking to the drivers side getting in.

Before I start it I look at her with a sly grin on my face. "What?" She says looking at me confused. "So.... I'm smokin hot huh?" I say wiggling my eyes brows. "Oh shut it and drive." She says hitting my arm before looking out the window not wanting me to notice the faint blush on her cheeks.

I start the car and pull out. I grab her hand bringing it up to my lips. "Too cute babe."
