"Why today?" I ask Lauren.
"What?" She looks at me, confused.
"I mean, why did you come today, after ignoring me for weeks? Although, I know I deserved it," I say.
"No, Camila. You didn't deserve what I did to you. It wasn't your fault; I was just unaware." I frown at her. She sighs, "your mom rang me," she says. My eyes widen. "She explained what happened; how you literally packed your bags and were ready to walk out on her. She explained how she broke down to stop you from leaving." Tears mist over my eyes, as I realise that my mom is the reason Lauren is with me right now. My mom made this happen. My mom apologised, and my mom is letting me meet my girlfriend. A trickle of water runs down my cheek. A smile forms on my lips and I lean in closer to Lauren.
"My mom made this happen," I whisper. She nods and the ghost of a smile flickers on her face. I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear and lean my head on her shoulder.
"I knew she'd warm up to me eventually," I hear Lauren say, and I laugh into her hair.
"Who wouldn't?" She looks up at me and my smile widens. My heartbeat quickens, as she leans her head towards me, and I have to remind myself that this is actually Lauren Jauregui. I feel the electricity between us, as her lips reach mine, a second later. Fireworks explode in the minutes in which our lips are connected. She taste sweet, like she's just eaten strawberries. I hold her face, gently guiding her movements. These few moments, with her lips on mine and her hands on the back of my neck, feel like a lifetime.
"I love you," I whisper, into her lips. I feel her smile against me.
"I love you too," I smile, before she finishes: "gay." I laugh and feel her laugh against me. Eventually we break apart, still smiling wildly.
