chapter 5

"What would you like to do today?" I asked Lauren, as we start walking into the breakfast hall at the hotel.
"I don't care. We could go to a dumpster and I'd be happy just to spend that time with you," she looked into my eyes, my heart pounding.
"God, you're such a romantic," I laughed, although I love the words that come out of her beautifully shaped lips. She smiled.
"How about I take you to my favourite place?" I offered.
"I'd go anywhere with you."

"Camila! Please tell me where we are! We've been walking for hours," Lauren complained but I just laughed.
"Come on, Lo, you said you'd go anywhere," I smiled.
"I thought we'd be driving, not hiking there!" I laughed and took her hand in mine.
"Just a few more steps, my love. Then you'll appreciate the beauty."
Lauren looked straight into my eyes and spoke, "I already do." I blushed, squeezing her hand. We walked a few more steps and then I told her.
"Here, is the most beautiful place I have ever visited. This is the place I grew up to love. I watched the ocean waves; made wishes; sat, taking in the scenery and sounds for hours until I saw the sun drop below the horizon. This place is my childhood. I watched the stars here. The sunrise. The people strolling past, seeing them, not knowing their individual stories. I had my first kiss here. But all of this dissolved into nothing and meant nothing to me when I met you. Because when I first heard your voice, read your words, I fell in love. And nothing else seems to matter when you're in love. But I thought I'd share this place with you, because it is my favourite destination, and you, Lauren Jauregui, are my favourite person. And guess what?"
"W-what?"

"I love you."

I spoke every word carefully and stared into her ocean-coloured eyes all the while.

And I meant every single word.

Lauren's pov

Camila's speech-like talk stuck in my brain. I kept re-hearing her words, as if she was on repeat in my head. Doesn't she just have a way with words that makes you fall deeper in love with her?

The beach was spectacular. Really, really beautiful. I felt proud that I was the one Camila showed this masterpiece of a place to. We walked hand in hand for hours, sharing childhood memories, and watching the pink sky fade into darkness.

Camila has taught me lots of things, but I think today's was my favourite.

"You can fall in love with places too, you know?"

I know, Camz, I know. This place was the highlight of her life. I had never felt more loved and wanted as I did today, knowing I had replaced this beaches place in Camila's heart. It still means so much to her though, but I mean more.

And because it means a lot to Camila, it means a lot to me too.
