My Baby You'll Be (Laurmani)

16

"Hey! Listen to me" Lauren spoke with her arm wrapped around her girlfriend as they sat on the couch.

"I know you wanted her to be here.. I know you feel alone" she sighed "But I'm here Mani"

"I know you're here Lauren but shit.. Sometimes that's not enough" she spoke sniffling.

Those words stung the Latina. But she understood. Normani didn't have a father and her mother was always gone. Even though she had to be to take care of them, she was still gone. Her whole life.

Lauren tried to be there for her whenever she felt lonely but she understands if even that is not enough.

The Latina frowned "I'm sorry.. I try"

The brown girl pulled her head out of Laurens neck and looked up to her "Baby.." She pouted "I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that, you are enough for me"

"I know want you meant.. It's okay. It's not about me right now. I want you to be okay" she twisted her lips.

"She wanted to be here to watch you leave and take pictures of you but she just couldn't" Lauren continued with a frown "So I will"

She let Normani go and pulled her camera out of her bag. She had just got that camera since they decided that they wanted to track their college careers together.

There was only one picture in the camera so far and it was of Normani. Lauren took the picture of her right after she got the camera.

The brown girl was feeling insecure that day so she didn't want any pictures taken. She groaned 'Lauren not today please' as the picture snapped. But even with it blurry and her hand in her face she still looked like a super model.

Because the first picture in the camera was of such a masterpiece she hadn't taken a picture since. Nothing else seemed good enough to follow that picture in her camera roll until now.

"What are you doing?" The brown girl questioned.

"I'm trying to be everything you need" Lauren smiled setting up her camera.

"& right now you need one of those proud annoying moms snapping going away pictures to post all over Facebook" she continued with a cheesy grin and pulled the camera up to her eye.

Normani blushed and Lauren captured a quick picture of that. "God that better not be ugly" Normani groaned hiding her face.

Lauren let her camera go, letting it hang from the strap around her neck and grabbed Normani's hands from her face "Look at you" she smiled softly "Nothing about you could ever be ugly, especially in my eyes when I think you're the most perfect woman ever"

Normani pouted her bottom lip in an 'Awww' type of way before speaking "I love you Lauren"

Lauren leaned it to her lips with their hands still connected and kissed her lips softly. Once their lips released she kissed her cheek and then the other one and then her chin and before she knew it Normani was under a kiss attack. Feeling the Latinas playful lips all over her face.

"That's enoughhhh" she groaned laughing and squinting her face.

"Mmm I'm sorry" the Latina teased smiling, with her lips still kissing "but it's not enough for me, I need more"

The older girl smiled and grabbed Laurens face, detaching the Latinas lips from her chin and bringing them up to her own lips. This time their lips locked passionately instead of a quick peck.

Normani's thumbs ran over Laurens cheeks softly as both of their hearts pounded out of their chests. Their lips worked together as if the first time they touched wasn't a few months ago but years instead. This was what love felt like, there's no question about it.
