6:37am


"Hailee Babe?"

"Hmm?" the other girl replied sleepily.

"I gotta get back before Lauren wakes up, I'll see you later okay?"


Wrapping the sheet tighter around her naked body Hailee pulled the covers further over her head and Camila took that as her answer. 


She has been seeing Hailee for a while now. It all started when Dinah had dragged her to a party one weekend, she had insisted on staying with her girlfriend to keep her company while she studied but Lauren told her to go have fun. 


Since that night they've agreed to keep seeing each other, Of course the guilt was eating her alive whenever them big pool of green eyes watched her with nothing but affection and whispered sweet nothings in her ear as she held her at night but, there was just something that kept bringing her back to Hailee and there was no way she had the balls to break up with Lauren. 

All she had to do was not get caught.

Closing the door slowly making sure not to wake the other girl she slid the keys onto the small table inside the door and made it towards their room. Carefully crawling next to Lauren she became the big spoon as she snuggled next to the pale girl. 

Deep in thought,the sight of the girls dragonfly tattoo on the back of her neck made her smile. That was one of her favorite things about the older Latina,she had been there the day Lauren was brave enough to get it and smiled at the memory.

Moving the dark locks to the side in order to see the beautiful image more clearly she placed a soft gentle kiss against her skin followed by a few more along her neck and shoulders. 

Why couldn't she just figure out what she wanted instead of digging herself a bigger hole that she was eventually going to fall into if she didn't act fast.

"Morning Gorgeous" the raspy voice caught her off guard "Morning" she smiled giving her a quick peck on the cheek "How did you sleep?"


"Really good actually you?" she said pulling Camila closer.

"Kinda, I've a big test today and I'm a bit nervous" she lied.

"Explains why your dressed, did you go on one of them morning adventures again?" Her throat went dry, did Lauren really notice she was gone some mornings? She swore she'd be so careful. 


"Uh Y-Yeah, I like to clear my head and just have time to myself you know?" she forced a smile "Don't worry baby you'll do just fine" Lauren smiled kissing the side of her head before getting out of bed walking into the bathroom to do her morning routine.

2:55pm

The day couldn't go by any slower, even though the coffee shop was busy every minute that passed by felt like an hour.

Lauren couldn't help over think her conversation this morning with Camila, the girl had been spending so much time with Hailee it was hard to remember the last time she they had their own time alone together. Pulling herself from her thoughts before she went too deep she caught sight of one of her best friends making her way inside.

"Good Afternoon Ralph!" she chirped walking behind the counter tying her work apron around her waist.

"Afternoon DJ" she smiled at the younger girl feeling her mood already beginning to change, laughing at the high school nickname.

"This place been busy like this all morning?" she questioned scanning the shop at the people socialising.

"Pretty much" She sighed stuffing the dish towel that she was using to wipe down the tables into her apron pocket. Switching places with Dinah she began to take orders at the till, she jumped when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and took a quick glance at the screen since there had been no one around.

(Laur 15:23) Have fun.


(Camz 15:25) Why are you being like this?

"Lo are you alright?" Dinah asked concerned noticing her friends tense facial expression.

"No" she sighed frustrated running her hand through her hair.


"Why? What's up?"


"Hailee" she said through gritted teeth.


"Oh god Steinfeld? What about her?" she said sternly


"Camz forgot about our date tonight and is going off to do some assignment with her instead"


"Are you sure? Walz would never blow you off like that" she questioned confused at the thought of her best friend blowing of a date.


"Yeah well,I don't know what's going on with her these past few weeks but Im tired of all the bull shit excuses im constantly fed" Lauren scowled.


"Alright relax, our shifts over in a while sowhy don't you come back to my dorm, I'll text Normani and we can have a movienight sound good?" the girl smiled.


"Yeah, it does thank you Dinah" she smiled glancing at the clock on the wall.
