Under the Wolf Moon (camren)

the next day

Lauren pov

The next morning I tried do get ready as fast as I could. I wanted to talk to Camila before school, and since I didn't know at what time Camila usually got up, I had to be quick. So I showered, got my clothes, I even ate breakfast in an unusual morning speed. And I was as awake as I would ever be at this time.

"I'm gone" I yelled to the kitchen, where my mother was, while putting a sandwich in my mouth.

"But it's still...so...early" her voice faded, since I was already out the door.  By the time I was at Camilas door I had already eaten the sandwich. Nervously I looked at my watch. It was still early but she had to be up by this time. And I'd rather be too early than too late. I could still wait, if she wasn't ready yet.

I looked up at the sky, taking a deep breath before knocking on the door and squeezing my hands while waiting, till the door would open. My  eyes went wide and I instantly went red, when Camila opened the door for me, only in bathrobe, her wet hair on one side and drying it with a towel. I scanned her unknowingly, when I looked at her face I could see her smile at me. Trying to focus my attention anywhere but on her I stumered "Uhm..I...em...wanted to talk."

"Sure. You can wait in the kitchen, while I get myself ready. But please be quiet, my family's still asleep." She said. I nodded as she walked up the stairs.  Still buffeled I made my way to the kitchen.

'She probably doesn't mind if I drink something' So I poured myself a glass of water and thought about what I would say. It was a good thing on one hand, that she wasn't ready, since I could overthink what I was gonna say, but it was nervewrecking at the same time. And also as soon as I'd stand in front of Camila my planned speech would go down the drain. I groaned as I put my fist against my forehead. Why was I so nervous?

"Everything okay?", her voice was heard. I opened my eyes and saw her standing by the door.

"Yup everythings fine." I answered quickly. She was properly dressed now, what relieved me. She wore a really cute black skirt to the middle of her thighs and a long sleeve crop top. It was hard not to stare, but it seemed rude and inappropriate due the reason of me wanting to talk to her.

"So you wanted to talk?" she asked, as she walked to the fridge and poured some orange juice in a glass. She sat down in front of me and looked at me questioningly.

"Um yeah. So I wanted to talk about yesterday.", I said. I waited a second, in case she wanted to say something. When she didn't I continued "I wanted you to know, that I'm sorry, if I made you uncomfortable yesterday. I'm usually not like this and I didn't mean to force myself onto you, if you felt that way. I don't know what got into me, after all you just know me for a day and what I did was kind of inappropriate. I can totally understand, if you don't want to have anything to do with me anymore.", even though i didn't think, she wouldn't like me anymore, since she didn't stop me yesterday, I didn't want to make assumptions and then get disappointed.

She laughed amused and looked at me. "It's really sweet, that you thought about it that much, but I never thought you were like that. Just so you know I'm not one to make out with any person either." I blushed, "But i didn't feel forced and I wouldn't want you to believe that I don't like you anymore, because I do.", she smiled at me and I instantly relaxed. That were good news.

"Even though, we should take it a little slower from now on." she chuckled.

"You're probably right."

The way the morning sun hit her features was beathtaking. She looked almost angelic with her beautiful smile. I totally blanked out my mind consumed with my thoughts.
