Fools

Chapter 17- through her eyes

*Camila's POV*

The next day had came and gone quickly and before I knew it, Lauren and I were sat on my bed, the rest of the girls home doing whatever they do. I was worried about Lauren, she had shut herself off since yesterday's fiasco with her father. I could tell by her eyes, you don't see that flicker and I know it's bugging her that she can't just be accepted freely. The room was silent and her eyes were fixated on her physics book while I was too busy staring at her rather than my own text book.

Her dark brown hair fell to the one side so I could have a perfect view of her flawless face. Her lips were pursed and her eyebrows furrowed together while those beautiful emerald green eyes scanned the paper below her. I think that's what intrigued me the most about her, her eyes. They weren't always the same color, sometimes they'd be that bright and vibrant green, whole other times they'd have a hint of blue or brown swarming around in them.

She was like a piece of art, perfect in every way. Not only did she have the outer beauty, but her inner beauty was just as incredible. She had a heart of gold and although she puts up that tough exterior so people don't mess with her, she's just a regular girl. Her intelligence is like no other, Normani says that she's easy to read, but that's not the truth. There's more that goes on in that head than any of us know.

I know they say perfection doesn't exist, but even with that said, Lauren Michelle Jauregui is definitely as close to perfect as it gets. "Camz, baby?" I heard Lauren say and I was brought out of my thoughts

"Hm?" I mumbled, our eyes locking

"You've been staring at me for the past ten minutes, are you okay?"

My cheeks flushed bright red and I looked down at my fingers. "I was just admiring how beautiful you are and how lucky I am to have you."

I heard her textbook fall to the floor and before I knew it a finger was on my chin, lifting it so I could lock eye contact with those gorgeous green eyes. Her finger tips danced down my jaw line and I shut my eyes, the feeling of her fingers against my skin was so nice.

"I'm just as lucky to have you." She whispered, intertwining our fingers. "You're beautiful." She said planting a kiss on my forehead. "Talented," she muttered kissing my nose, "and most importantly, perfect." And with that she kissed my lips ever so lightly.

Moments like these I wondered if she could hear how loud my heart was beating, as of it were trying to break free from it's cage. I wondered if she could see how nervous she made me just by looking at me with those stunning eyes. I wondered if she could tell how much I thought about her and how she made my thoughts run wild. And lastly, I wondered if she could tell I was falling, madly and deeply in love with her.

I know it's silly to say, we haven't even been dating for a month, but I feel like our friendship had always been building up to this. She knew me like the backside of her hand, she knew how to read me and she knew how to comfort me, all from the start. I couldn't help but think that I've always had this love for her and that for some reason, we were always meant to be brought together.

All those thoughts flew through my mind during the short, yet loving kiss we shared. When she pulled away I couldn't help but miss her lips again so I pushed her back on the bed, straddling her hips. Before I could even lean down to kiss her, she grabbed my eyes and flipped us over, so she was straddling my lap, I was at her leisure. She leaned down, my eyes fluttering shut as soon as her plump lips met mine.

Out of habit my hands snaked their way into her hair, fisting it lightly. Her tongue trailed my bottom lip, begging for entrance and I gladly let her in, opening my mouth so her tongue could slither in. Her tongue made it's way into familiar territory, a moan escaping one of our mouths, in the heated moment it was probably from both of us. She pulled away only to go to my ear lobe, nibbling on it lightly.

My pulse point was her next victim, she scraped her teeth over it before soothing it with her tongue, surely leaving a mark while I groan left my lips, my hips bucking up without control. My hands found their way into her shirt, pulling it up, her lips detaching from my neck only so I could discard the clothing onto my carpet covered floor. I slipped my hands to her butt and squeezed it lightly, earning a moan from her as she made her way down my neck, biting down hard enough to leave a mark on my exposed collarbone.

"Whoa..." Someone said and we shot apart, Lauren falling on the floor from shock. I looked at the door to see a wide eyed Dinah, Ally, and Normani. I looked over at Lauren who was face down in my carpet, her arms moving to push her up. As her eyes registered our friends faces, she grabbed her shirt and put it on, grabbing her textbook and opening it, acting as if she was studying.

"And that concludes our session on chemistry." Lauren said, trying to get rid of the blush that was so noticeable on her pale face

"Nice on Lo, but that's a physics book." Normani said, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

"Whoa whoa whoa, why do we always go to Lauren first. I expect stuff like this from her, but little miss innocent and pure Camila over here not so much." Dinah said, her eyes meeting mine

"I have no clue what you're talking about." I said, a grin spreading across my face as I laid back on my pillows

"And Camila was all against sex like two weeks ago, look at her now." Normani said causing Dinah to bust out laughing

"My question is how long were you three standing there?" I asked, eyeing the three of them up closely, I saw Lauren sink further into the beanie chair in embarrassment of her friends catching her.

"Like two minutes, it was a lot to take in." Ally said

"Freaks." Lauren muttered

"If it weren't for us freaks, you two would've gotten freaky." Dinah said, jumping on top of Lauren earning an "humph" from the older girl.

"So?" Lauren muttered and I smiled at her, biting my lip

"ANYWAY," I said clapping my hands together, "why are you losers here?"

"Well because I left my book bag here," Normani said, "and because we saw Alexa on the way here and she asked if we could tell Lauren that she should get back to her house because dinner will be done soon."

I heard another groan and I looked over to see Lauren who was now freed from Dinah, she sighed and looked at me, gathering her books before placing a kiss on my lips. I pouted and gave her the best puppy dog eyes that I could. "Pweaseeee sleep over Loloooooo!"

She gave me a sad look and pecked my lips again," Friday I will because I'm taking you on another date but for now I gotta get to Alexa's"

I sighed but nodded in understanding, giving her another kiss and a quick hug while hugging the others goodbye. Once they were all gone, I walked into my bathroom, my eyes on the mirror on top of my sink. My hair was disheveled and there were two obvious hickeys, which at the sight made me blush. I couldn't help but smile, I was glad to have Lauren, and what was most exciting, that she was the only one who made me feel his way.

She made me happy, excited, nervous, and she have me those butterflies. That's it Camila, I thought to myself, you're in love.
