A Knock in the Heart

T W E N T Y - O N E

Camila keeps looking at Lauren as their front door is closed. She feels something uneasy on her chest. As she is about to ask something Lauren speaks first.

"We should get ready for bed, tomorrow we have to take Ariel to school." says Lauren before walking to the living room leaving Camila behind. Camila takes a deep breath before going towards the living room. Lauren is already picking up their cups and popcorn bowl. She quickly leaves to the kitchen as Camila turns off the tv and they make their way upstairs to their bedroom.

Lauren and Camila are in their own minds. Camila with too many things on her mind, how Lauren is acting after the girl's visit.

Lauren on the other hand has too much on her mind.

"How long has she had the divorce papers? How could she come to my house? What if Camila remembers?"

When both girls come out of their mind they realize they are sitting on their bed.

"Lauren what happened? Who is she?" Camila asks her.

"I promise I'll tell you but not right now." says Lauren before walking towards their walking closet right after to their bathroom. Camila looks at her walk away not liking how she's avoiding the topic, for her that is not her best friend.

"Ok" says Camila in a small voice.

After the girls finish getting ready they both lay down on their side of their bed.

"Can I tell you something?" whispers Camila as she looks at the ceiling. "Yeah" whispers Lauren back and she turns on her side to look at her wife's face. Camila turns on her side as well and both girls are looking at each other just a few inches away from each other.

"I'm nervous" she says the first thing that came to her mind and not really saying what she wanted to say which caused her to blush hoping Lauren couldn't notice because of the dark in their bedroom.

Lauren is looking at her wife expecting something else coming from her mind but adoring her tinted cheeks. It was totally noticeable for her thanks to the moonlight coming from in between their curtains from the window.

"Why are you nervous?" asks Lauren, coming a little closer to Camila causing her heart to speed up a little more, Camila's eyes opening a little more not expecting her to move.

"Lo" whispers Camila looking from Lauren's eyes and mouth each time for a few seconds. "Do you like me? Just like in high school. Just like before." Lauren asks in a lower voice, looking at Camila for any type of reaction not wanting to miss anything. Camila on the other hand can feel her heartbeat in every part of her body and quickly looks at Lauren's eyes feeling really nervous.

Lauren couldn't take it anymore, she misses her wife. She moves closer and with her hand on Camila's cheek she kisses her. Camila gets cut off guard not thinking she would kiss her. A lot of emotions can be felt in Camila's body, like something inside of her is being unlocked.

Lauren continues to kiss her wife, Camila feels like a virgin not knowing what to do. She's nervous thinking if she can touch Lauren and not enjoying herself because of it. Lauren can feel Camila a little tense as she's almost on top of her.

"I'm sorry, is it too much?" asks Lauren in a whisper as she's on top of Camila, both legs on each side of her with her knees on the mattress and her hand next to Camila's head.

Camila can't answer as she's in shock. She can feel her body reacting to Lauren's kisses, breathing deeply as if she just ran a marathon. The only thing she can do is shake her head to say no, this time she's the one to initiate things between them. She pulls Lauren down by her neck and kisses her, letting Lauren lay completely on top of her, forgetting about her shyness and letting herself go.
