The Girl Online (Camren)

Chapter 4.

"I'm glad that we established that." Camila said with her wide, goofy smile on her face. I loved her smile, she would always put her tongue out to try and hide it, but when she was extremely happy, she would forget all about it and just smile. And the fact I was making her smile like that was even better.
"So am I. Like, really glad." I said with a smile that was too big for my face.
"You don't know how happy I am that we covered that, but I really want to know this story about you and Taylor at the beach the day that picture was taken." She said, laughing. "Sorry, I just want to know things about you. And that sounds weird, wow. Good job, Camila!" She said before covering her face again.
"Hey, don't be sorry. I like that you want to know these things. It shows that you really do care." I said before stretching out my arms. "So, I was already home from school, on Tumblr, of course." I said, pausing as I heard Camila's little giggle so I could smile to myself. "And so it was around the time Taylor would get home, so I was waiting for her. So she comes home and she's in tears. I guess she had a really bad day at school, and she just came in and went straight to me and just broke down in my arms. Her 'friends' were being horrible to her, she told me she sat in the bathroom at lunch, and they were spreading rumors about her and everyone made fun of her. So I just grabbed my car keys, left a note saying her and I were leaving the house for a bit, and I drove and drove for hours. I let her play her favorite music, then we found this cute little town, it was a good three hours from home, but she needed that, ya'know? So we went to the little beach, bought some food, and say there and talked about stuff for hours. And I had my camera with me, and when she finally calmed down, I took the picture. Thus, that spot has been claimed as our 'Sister Spot'." I said with a small laugh. I knew Camila was paying attention and really wanted to know the story because she was nodding and commenting little things at all the right parts and when I would pause, she would encourage me to continue speaking.

"Oh my god.." Camila said before pouting. "Poor Taylor...you are such a good sister, though. That's really nice you two have that relationship, though. That's how I am with my sister. Well, Sofi is a long younger than I am, so she doesn't have those problems yet. But I want her to be little forever. To believe in magic and that everything is good. We actually go fairy hunting in our backyard, we have yet to catch one, though." She said with a laugh.
"Fairy hunting? That's adorable. Tell her to try using sprinkles, the stuff you put on ice cream. They're tiny and colorful, fairies love that kind of stuff." I said, watching Camila's smile grow even wider.
"Yeah? I'll have to tell her that! She'll be so excited." She said while laughing.
"You know, it's really cute how you are with her. Like the videos and stuff that you've sent me of you with her. Like the Harry Potter one where she's pushing you in the basket, the High School Musical one, you guys searching for fairies. It's extremely adorable."
"Aw, Lauren.." She said before tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

We talked for about another two hours, I gave her a tour of my room, and I ended up laying on my stomach on my bed, continuing to talk to the gorgeous girl on my computer screen. "So, Camila." I said, moving my hair over my shoulder.
"So, Lauren." She mocked, smiling at me.
"I heard you and Dinah are now best friends? Her exact words were, 'I needed to make sure she was cool enough for my best friend'. Please tell me she hasn't embarrassed me." I said, slightly mortified at what might have come out of Dinah's mouth. She never held back when it came to making sure someone was good enough for me to date.
"Hm...well, she asked if I was single. She asked what my hobbies were. Let's see.." Camila started to list off a few other things, until she remembered something that seemed rather important. "Oh! And she told me you talk about me a lot, good things though, thank god. I was hoping they were good, ya'know since I kind of like you a lot. And she asked me to describe how I feel about you, as in if I see myself dating you." She said with a giggle.
"Oh. My. God." I said, hiding my face in my hands. "I'm so sorry, I hope you didn't feel pressured to say anything, she jokes around a lot like that. I'm so sorry, Camz." I said with a sigh. "I swear that girl doesn't know when to stop."
"Hey, it's okay. She's protective of you. She's a very good friend." Camila said, nodding her head. "Actually, I'm shocked Normani and Ally haven't taken my phone to get ahold of you. They're my best friends, I tell them everything. And by everything, I mean I'm pretty sure I've been talking nonstop about you as well, they're probably annoyed with me." She said, biting her lip.
"Wait, you talk about me to them?" I said, trying to hide my smile. "You know, three weeks doesn't seem like a very long time, but I feel like I've known you forever."
"I feel the same way, Lauren. Ugh, what I would do to be able to be there with you now.." She whispered, laying her head down after she spoke.
"I know, I wish we were closer too.." I said softly, resting my head in my hand. "Are you tired, babe?" I said, not even realizing what I said.
"What did you call me?" She asked, perking up immediately, with that smile that I loved across her face. I was mentally slapping myself, yet again.
"I, uh...I called you babe." I said, letting out a nervous laugh.
"I like when you call me that."
"You do? Then I guess I should start calling you that more." I said, letting out a sigh of relief.
"I am a little tired, actually. But I want to stay up, I like talking to you." She said before propping her pillow up underneath her head.
"Aw, if you're tired you can take a nap. If you fall asleep, I won't hang up on you."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"Pinky promise?" She asked, holding her pinky up to her camera. I grinned to myself, finding it absolutely adorable that she still takes pinky promises very seriously.
"I pinky promise." I said softly, holding up my pinky to hers through the screen.

Camila ended up falling asleep an hour later, and I kept my promise, I wasn't going to hang up on her. It was only the afternoon, so I knew she would wake up in a little bit. Plus, I didn't mind her being asleep. She was really cute when she slept, and I definitely did take a picture or two of her. Smiling to myself, I posted the picture on Tumblr so she could see how adorable she was.

Look at this little cutie! She fell asleep on our FaceTime date, but before she passed out she made me pinky promise I wouldn't hang up on her. I don't understand how one person can be this adorable!(hopefully she doesn't kill me for posting this, I couldn't resist, she's too cute) @waakeme-up

While she slept, I cleaned up my room, organizing some of my things on my desk, folding my clothes, things like that. I ended up taking my laptop with me downstairs when I got hungry, so if Camila woke up, I would've been there. But, she didn't. I knew I should let her sleep, we were up really late again last night, I was for sure messing up this poor girls sleep schedule. But it was summer, so it's okay, right? After having a sandwich and letting out Dash, I sat in the kitchen, scrolling through tumblr on my laptop, but still keeping Camila in my view.
"Lauren, why are you carrying that thing around? Can't you go a few minutes without your computer?" Taylor, my little sister, asked me when she came back into the kitchen to get something to drink.
"Because I'm facetiming Camila, the girl I was telling you about. The girl I met on Tumblr that I really like." I said, taking a sip of my lemonade.
"Oh, the one you go on and on about." She said with a giggle. "How come you're not talking? I don't hear her."
"She fell asleep, and I promised, actually pinky promised, that I wouldn't hang up on her if she did fall asleep. So I'm carrying it around in case she wakes up." I said, looking over at my sister.
"Wooow. You must really like this girl." Taylor said, teasingly nudging me.
"Yeah, I do. I really do like her a lot, Tay." I replied with a smile.
"Well good. I'm happy for you. Let me know when she wakes up, I want to embarrass you."
"Okay, I will." I said with a laugh, taking another drink of my lemonade.
"Oh, I'm awake now!" I heard Camila's familiar voice say, causing me to choke on my lemonade once I realized she heard us talking about how much I liked her.
"Oh my god!" Taylor said in between fits of laughter. "That was such perfect timing!" She said, trying to catch her breath.
"Camz! Why didn't you say anything! I've embarrassed myself so much." I groaned, covering my face.
"Aw, Lauren! Don't be embarrassed! It's really cute! So, Taylor, tell me more about how your sister 'goes on and on about me'." Camila said, giggling. I exited out of Tumblr, making Camila my full screen again. "Oh, and I'm Camila, by the way, it's nice to meet you!" She said.
"I'm Taylor, it's nice to meet the girl my sister has been nonstop talking about to me for three weeks!" My sister said, sitting down next to me at the counter on the other bar stool. I groaned, a smile tugging at my lips, then hid my face as Taylor and Camila talked about how much I liked her. I could tell they were going to be fast friends.

After a couple of hours, I found myself back in my bedroom, laying on my bed as I talked to Camila. I had my laptop on one side of my bed, I was curled up on the other side, under my blanket and on my side facing the computer. We had facetimed all day, and I could definitely say that this has been the best date I've ever been on. As I laid in bed, looking at Camila, I let out a yawn, then rested my eyes for a brief moment.
"Tired, Lolo?" A sleepy Camila whispered.
"A little. Aren't you tired? It's two in the morning by you." I said with a small giggle, then let out another yawn.
"Yeah. It is. And I am tired, but I don't want to hang up." She said before running her fingers through her hair.
"You don't have to hang up." I said, putting my arm under my pillow to prop myself up. "Just go to sleep, I'll go to sleep too. We can FaceTime through the night. Like a sleepover." I said with a laugh.
"Sleeping over on the first date?" She teased, giggling. "I'd say this date went very well."
"I'd say so too. The best date I have ever been on." I said, trying to hide my blushing cheeks.
"I agree." Camila said before yawning, laying back down in her bed.
"Goodnight, Camz."
"Goodnight, Lauren."

I don't remember if I fell asleep first, or if she fell asleep first, all I remember if I went to bed with the biggest smile left on my face.
