Lauren hummed happily to herself as she walked up the steps of Camila's house. She planned on surprising the girl to hang out for the day. They didn't usually hang out at the younger girls' house because Camila felt more comfortable at Lauren's. The younger girl thought her house was so boring and small compared to Lauren's. Lauren didn't mind it though. She liked the change. Camila's house was so cozy and warm.

She approached the door with a smile and knocked on the wood, stepping back a little afterwards. She fixed her hair and smoothed out her skirt, and began rocking on her heels while waiting. Lauren could hear the thumping of Camila's feet as she ran downstairs to get the door. As soon as she pulled the door open, she froze in surprise. "Lauren. Hi." She smiled.

"Hello." The older girl greeted with a bright smile.

Camila ran her fingers through her hair to try and fix it up a little. "What are you doing here?" She questioned. "I mean, not that I'm not happy to see you, this is a wonderful surprise. But what's up? Is everything okay?"

"Everything is perfectly fine." She smiled. "I've come to spend the day with you and keep you company." Lauren smiled. "I've missed you." She admits. "Very much." Camila coos and puts her hand over her heart. "May I come in?"

"Of course you can." Camila stepped aside. Lauren stood in the entryway with her hands together. "So you missed me?" She asks with a smile.

Lauren hummed, pulling the girl over by her waist. "I missed you so much, Camz. I haven't seen you in three whole days." She says, rubbing her sides. "I missed your voice. I missed holding you," She pulls her a little closer. "I missed your snuggles. I missed your lips."

The girls were so used to seeing each other every day that even three days was a lot for them. They were surprised they could even survive being apart for so long.

"I missed you too, baby." Camila replies, rubbing their noses together. "Wanna come up into my room?" She raises and eyebrow in question. Lauren hums and allows the younger girl to pull her upstairs to her bedroom. She licks her lips, knowing they're most likely going to kiss soon, and quickly kicks off her shoes. Camila lays herself down first and then pulls Lauren on top of her. "What were you thinking about doing?"

"Well... You know how I said I would help you with that massage oil that I got you for Christmas?" Lauren asked. Camila hummed. "I was thinking I could give you a massage and we can light the candles I got you and just relax and cuddle." She smiles. "What do you think?"

Camila hums and pulls Lauren by her thigh until her leg is over her side. "Where were you planning on massaging?" She asks, tracing shapes on her thigh.

"Your back?" Lauren asks. Camila smiles. "Does that sound good?" The younger girl hums. "Okay." She leans in for a soft kiss. "I'm going to light some candles, okay?" Camila nods and watches her girlfriend walk up to her big window. She looks around for a moment and then picks up a blanket on her desk chair. "Just in case your neighbor decides to check in on you." Lauren whispers and covers the entire window, causing the light in the room to disappear almost completely. "There." She smiles, very proud of herself.

Camila shifts in her spot. Lauren walked up to the bookshelf next to Camila's door and grabbed her box of matches, sliding it against the side of the box until it lit. "The candles you gave me are almost gone." The younger girl tells her. "I use them every day." She tells Lauren.

"Well I guess I'll just have to buy you some more." Lauren smiles and blows out the match after lighting a couple candles. She places them around the room to create some dim light and then walks back next to Camila's bed. She kneels down in front of her face. "Where's the oil?" She asks.
