I See You. (Camren)

Chapter Nine.

Camila.

To say that I was nervous would be a bit of an understatement, because I am completely freaking out, I mean who does this? Who invites the stranger who saved their daughter to dinner, and then to a park the next day, because said daughter requested her, and then into my apartment to help us cook pizza's, and then she showed up at my work place and I asked her on a date, we have been on one date, and now she is driving me to a private beach, which her family own, and I am about to meet the whole family, what the hell is even going on, this isn't normal, I'm not even sure if this is real life at this point, people don't do crazy things like this, this is how people get killed, oh god what am I doing?

"Hey you okay?" Lauren's hand lands on my knee completely bringing me out of my thoughts.

I turn my head to face her, getting her side profile and I completely relax, this is why I do this, this is why we went on a date and I agreed to go with her to a family affair, because just looking at her, even if it's a side view, she completely calms me, and makes me feel so comfortable in her presence, many people can call me crazy, but I'll let them as long as I get to keep this woman by my side.

"Earth to Camz" She says, causing me to realise that I never answered her.

"I'm good" I smile softly and rest my hand over the top of hers, giving it a slight squeeze before she has to take it back to change the gears.

Lauren pulls up along the road where we were just last night, and I smile over at her as she puts the car in park, Lauren glances in her rearview mirror and then grins looking over her shoulder.

"Does she normally fall asleep in cars?" Lauren grins softly.

"I wouldn't know, she's never been in one, but I guess so" I smile looking in the back at my daughter also.

"She's never been in a car?" Lauren turns to look at me, I glance back at her, our faces only centimetres apart.

"Other than the day she was born, no, I never saw the need for a car" I shrug softly.

"I guess you still don't, because I'll drive you wherever you want to go" She smiles softly.

"Well aren't you a sweetheart"

"Only for you"

My heart melts and I lean in, capturing her lips in a short and sweet kiss.

Lauren climbs out of the car, myself climbing out just after her and I grin as I watch her open the back door, and lift my sleeping daughter into her arms, she holds Harmony up with one arm, whilst closing the door and locking the car, before shifting her back into the centre of her body, and wrapping both arms underneath her, Harmony's arms instantly locking behind her neck, I seriously want to capture this moment.

"Come on beautiful" Lauren smiles over at me and I grin and begin following her, catching up to walk right along beside her.

I open the gate for Lauren as her hands are full with my daughter and we both make our way down the stairs leading to the beach, as we get closer I can see maybe 40+ people, these can't all seriously be her family members?

"Lauren" An older woman approaches us with a smile on her face, before turning and smiling at me, but also holding a look of confusion.

"Hey auntie Sue, I'll hug you as soon as this little one wakes up" Lauren greets her.

"We've got all night" Sue waves her off.

"Auntie Sue, this is Camila, and the sleeping beauty in my arms is her daughter Harmony" Lauren introduces me.
