Lauren and Camila were back on the same routine and the older girl couldn't wipe the content grin off her face. It was a chilly Friday night and after a long week of work for both girls they were excited to have a much needed weekend of lazy cuddles.

The younger of the two watched the raven haired girl click through multiple Snapchats of Dinah clearly having too much fun. Camila laid her head against Lauren's chest as they giggled over the ridiculous pictures from Dinah.

"She's so wasted," Camila stated the obvious between fits of laughter.

"So gone," Lauren chuckles along. Once the pictures quit it cuts back to her past conversations on Snapchat and Camila can't help the twinge in her heart at how many girls Lauren had been talking to. The older girl sensed this before she began running her fingers through the smaller girls silky hair.

"I'll clear those conversations," She quickly hits her settings and begins the task.

"Have you...you know...talked to those other girls after..."

"After we kind of started this? No." Lauren watches the grin overtaking Camila's lips at her words. "I haven't talked to any other girls that way since that night that you first slept here."

The smaller girl let out a relieved sigh with Lauren's words. "What about you?" The green eyed girl gently nudges the smaller girl with a brow raised. "Have you been talking to other people?"

"What? No!" Camila is startled by the question, does Lauren honestly think she's like that? The older girls adorable giggle causes the younger girl to relax slightly.

"What about, you know, James and stuff..." Lauren carried off as she was trying to make light of her gently prying.

"I haven't spoken to him since that time at the club," Camila confidently stated, causing Lauren's lips to break out in a grin.

A comfortable silence fell over the two and Camila was convinced that Lauren had fallen asleep. Camila was about to follow her example until Lauren spoke up, "Have you talked to your mom?"

The smaller girl instantly freezes in Lauren's arms as she thinks over the question. "No. I don't plan on talking to her for a while either." 

"Camila."

"Lauren don't."

"Don't what?"

"Don't try to justify her actions and make them sound reasonable because they're not. She acted like that towards me in my own home and she degraded you when you've done absolutely nothing and that was what really pissed me off." Camila sternly stated as Lauren sat up a little to get a better view of the younger girl.

"The shit she said about me doesn't matter Camila."

"It matters to me," Camila quickly retorts with a stern look in her eye. There was no talking her out of these strong feelings.

The older girl couldn't stop from leaning in and planting a delicate kiss on the plump lips before her. "It didn't get to me, you shouldn't let it get to you," Lauren flashes a reassuring smile before Camila rolled her eyes and pulled her in for a longer kiss.

The slurs that Sinu used to refer to the raven haired girl seriously didn't bother her. She had grown up hearing them from people, even her own family. She quickly grew to ignore them and happily accept who she was. She knew that she should not be defined by who she chose to be with.
