They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 8- Back Home

Camila Pov

Waking up next to Lauren was like a dream. Realizing it wasn't a dream only made me dizzy. The fact that someone so perfect could be sharing the same bed as me made me feel so good. Opening my eyes slowly I caught a glimpse of her green ones still covered. Her long lashes still hanging and her breathing still steady and calm.

I caressed her smooth cheek as I smiled to myself, seeing just how lucky I am to call her mine. Though deep inside I had the strongest wish to share it with the rest of the world, to show them just how lucky I was and just how unlucky everyone else was. To prove that she was mine and that I was hers, was my biggest wish.

She stirred in her sleep to my touch, until her eyelids slowly parted, revealing the soft green eyes that I adored the most.

"Morning." She said smiling in her raspy tone that always seemed to make my heart flutter.

"Good morning." I responded, returning a smile.

"I would kiss you, but I don't favor morning breath." She giggled.

"I understand. That means we just need to hurry and brush our teeth then so I can kiss you whenever I want." I smiled, still caressing her perfect cheek.

"If only I wasn't so damn lazy, I don't wanna get up. Carry me?" I laughed. We both knew how weak I was. Soon the room flooded in our laughter. If people did know about our relationship, they would probably label Lauren as the boyfriend.

"Can we just stay here, in this bed and never come out, for the rest of our lives?" I asked, snuggling closer to the dark haired girl.

"I wish, Camz. We can't always live a dream though, and life doesn't always make things easy. But I can promise one thing, some day we will be able to be together in public too. Now just isn't the right time. But I hope you're willing to wait. I know I am, hell I'd wait my whole life for you if I had to. You're all I ever think about, all I ever want. I don't want anyone else except for you. Please don't ever go." She sounded so upset at the thought of me leaving. Why the hell would I leave?! Has she ever looked in the mirror? I'd never leave someone so amazing, so beautiful, so talented, so intelligent and caring, just her in general. I would be devastated if I ever lost her.

"I don't think I'm going anywhere. You're my LoLo, no one else can have you." I felt her kiss the top of my head and her grip tighten on me, almost as if she never wanted to let me go ever again. If she decided that, I wouldn't stop her.

"Good. I plan on staying with you until this fucked up world takes a crash." She laughed before rolling out of bed and making her way to the bathroom. I sat up, brushing my hair to one side. I must've looked like a mess. I got up and walked over to the bedroom mirror, taking in the sleepy reflection. "Why didn't you tell me I look like a witch in the mornings?!" I yelled.

"Damn, you're one sexy witch then." She said, her words muffled by the tooth brush hanging out of her mouth. I turned to see her smiling, toothpaste outlining her perfect lips. I giggled, not wanting this moment to end.

I started walking towards her, slowly, until my phone rang. I squeezed my eyes shut and muttered under my breath between clenched teeth, "shit."

"You should get that." She said before walking back into the bathroom to spit out the remaining toothpaste in her mouth. I cursed internally again before walking to the nightstand where my phone sat. I answered it hastily before it went to voicemail.

"Hello?"

"Hello stranger. We need to have a chat." I heard Shawn's voice. He sounded excited.

"Oh do we? It's kind of a bad time." I said, then hearing Laurens footsteps walking towards me before her hands wrapped around my waist.
