Or Is It Real?

CHAPTER 15: Woke The Fuck Up

AN: I know it's Caminah in the photo, but let's just pretend it's Camren. 😊

Lauren's POV

I woke up feeling like half of my body was dead. For real, I can't even feel my arm. Once I was fully conscious, I felt, more than saw, Camila almost on top me, snoring like a lazy bear, my left arm pinned underneath her body, and both of her arms were snaked around my waist. Seriously, how could someone be that clingy when sleeping? I swear she's half-monkey, half-koala.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'd always choose to wake up with a dead arm if Camila was in bed with me. I smiled as I stared at her face, half hidden with her messy hair, and I couldn't keep myself from softly tracing her facial features with my fingers. I still couldn't believe that I'm having this, whatever is going on between us, with my bestfriend. It felt surreal. Like, I'm so happy right now but I still couldn't process the sudden shift of my emotions for this girl who's now kinda drooling on my shirt – which I totally find so cute. Do you see what I mean, I've been turned into a sap.

I could stay like this the whole day.

But as much as I would love for this moment to go on forever, I really needed to pee, so as gently as I could, I tried to untangle myself from her. The minute that I managed to free my arm from under her back and lift her arm so I could slink away, she mumbled like a dork and only tightened her grip around my waist even more and snuggled her head on my chest.

Okay, five more minutes. I can hold it in.

I grabbed my phone from the night stand to check the time, 5:30 a.m. wow I woke up early. I could even go back to sleep for two more hours if I wanted to before I even have to prepare.

Twenty minutes later, she was still glued to me and I swear if one more minute passed by I'm gonna pull off a Dinah and just trickle all over the bed. That won't do well with my image. Camila would never let me forget if I peed on the bed, I couldn't give her such a huge advantage over me so early in our relationship.

Ooh, relationship. What the hell am I saying.

Finally, I was able to extricate myself from Camila and jogged to the bathroom. After peeing, I did my usual morning routine which is basically just brush my teeth and wash my face, then I went back to the bed. Camila is now in the middle of my bed hugging my pillow (the one I used) with her face buried on it. Clingy, I told you. But I love it.

I took a couple of photos of her because duh she's so fucking adorable, and for a minute I considered posting it on the gram but I'm kinda afraid what the fans will think. I knew I shouldn't care about their opinions but I just prefer to be private with my personal affairs.

I was looking at the pictures I just took, with a smile plastered on my face, as I slowly got under the blanket again. I felt Camila move and saw her lift her head from my pillow, a groggy look on her face which made me laugh.

"Whu- where am I?" She yawned. When her eyes focused on me she gave me the cutest smile, I swear I sensed the world just brightened up a bit.

"Oh. Hi, Lauren." She mumbled shyly. Her eyes fluttered down as if she was suddenly self-conscious by my stare.

Is she for real? I wanted to laugh but I didn't, because I didn't wanna make her feel like I was mocking her, but seriously, is she for goddamn real? How can she be shy waking up with me, when we have done that hundreds of times for a few years now? How can she be shy now, when she just confessed her love for me in an airplane. Might I add that my tongue has already been in her mouth, too?

"Camz?" I said in a soft voice. She looked up at me, finally meeting my gaze, and immediately blushed when I whispered, "You're too cute." I leaned closer in an attempt to kiss her lips but she suddenly shrank back, a look of horror in her face. I stopped moving, completely confused, and to be honest a bit offended. "Umm, sorry, are there some ground rules I wasn't aware of? Like we could only kiss at certain days or times?" I said sarcastically.
