A Simple Folded Paper

21

And Camila did. She could never deny anything to Lauren so she warned her parents about staying at Lauren's for the night and let herself be guided to Lauren's bed, where she sat on the edge with Lauren on her lap. She was always surprised by how Lauren could be a shy mess in one second and a bold lioness on the other. The kisses Lauren was leaving in Camila's neck and jaw were driving Camila crazy. Her hands were gripping on Lauren's waist tighter than ever to prevent the girl to fall, of course, but so Camila could control herself and pull Lauren really close to her.

She had to admit that she was a little bit turned on, especially after the dream she had before dinner, but what she craved with Lauren was another kind of intimacy. A simple kiss or touch was always enough for her because it meant Lauren was by her side and that meant a happy Camila. If someone had told her three years, or just a couple of weeks, before that Lauren would be in her lap driving her crazy with kisses, Camila would laugh shamelessly in that person's face. But there they were, with each other.

Life was never exactly easy for Camila, and Lauren was the calm sea after the storm. Although she didn't exactly like her past, she knew that it was what made her what she was in the present. The hardships of life are what makes life, life, and are what makes us grow. But so are the good times. And Lauren was part of that.

Suddenly, she noticed that she wasn't feeling Lauren's warm lips on her neck and she came back to life, only to find the girl staring at her.

"Why are you looking at me that way?", Camila asked, her cheeks suddenly gaining a tint of red.

Lauren smiled, that damn smile that always made Camila turn into a mushy mess. "Because you're beautiful.", Lauren answered. But that was not enough, so she continued. "And you're not only beautiful, you're smart, kind, sweet, sensitive, a good person, extremely thoughtful and lots of other things that I would spend the whole night here if I enumerated them all. But, despite all of that, my favorite description of you is that you're a funny weirdo idiot and that was what made me fall in love with you.". Camila's eyes widened at Lauren's confession but, before she could say something, Lauren's index finger landed on Camila's lips. "Shh, let me finish. I can hear you rant about a cat all day or hear you read a grocery shopping list, that I will not be bored at all because your voice is the most soothing sound I ever heard. Your jokes are the most stupid and funny things that I ever heard as well. Half of them are not even jokes, but I laugh because it's funny the way you tell them, it's funny how passionate, confident and secure you are when you tell them. Your laugh is my favorite melody. You laugh even when that's nothing funny to laugh at, you laugh just because you're happy and I laugh along because you're happy, and your happiness is my happiness. My happiness is you, Camila, you make me so happy. You can just hold my hand or look at me, or smile at me or even give me a lecture because I didn't finish my lunch, and you make me happy. You make me really happy. Like, really really happy. And I want nothing more in life than to be happy by your side and to make you happy as well."

Camila was in shock. She was not expecting that at all and was glad that she stayed. Lauren's confession was the reassuring that Camila needed, was what wiped away all her doubts about their "relationship". Despite all of her thoughts, she was only able to say "Lauren...".

"You don't need to say anything, I just wanted you to know what has been on my mind lately.", Lauren informed,  to then kiss Camila's forehead and start to get off of the girl's lap.

Camila tightened her grip on Lauren's waist, preventing her from getting up. Lauren gave her a confused look and Camila begun to speak. "I'm in love with you too", was all she said before leaning in and take Lauren's lips in the most passionate kiss she ever gave. 

Lauren broke the kiss when air began to be a problem and finished it with a few little pecks. She grabbed Camila's chin with her thumb and index finger, forcing her to look at her in the eyes, and decided that it was time. "Camila, would you give me the honor and be my girlfriend?".

Camila's mouth was ajar. This wasn't real, was it? It couldn't be. What...? Damn it, Camila, just say something, for God's sake! "Hm, what?" Smooth dumbass, smooth. "I mean, yes, oh my god, yes!", Camila basically screamed and kissed her now girlfriend. "Wait, are you serious?".

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?", Lauren questioned.

"I don't know, I just- Oh my God!"

They shared their excitement for a while among squeals and kisses, hugs and screams. Until they were interrupted by Hannah, who entered the room, told them to 'shut the duck off' because she wanted to sleep, and left. The two older girls were left alone giggling at Lauren's sister expression and decided that it was best to go to sleep since Camila had to leave early in the morning.

Lauren lent some sweatpants and a shirt to Camila who promptly changed and got under the covers, waiting for Lauren who was changing into her pajamas in the bathroom. Once her girlfriend returned to the bedroom, Camila padded the spot beside her for Lauren to join her, which was what she did. The two girl laid in bed, facing one another, legs entwined and arms around each other's waist.

Sleeping with Lauren was one of Camila's favorite hobbies. Although it only happened with a couple of naps or accidentally falling asleep on the couch together, Camila always felt warm and secure, like nothing could hurt her. Falling asleep with Lauren's caresses felt like heaven, it was so soothing and relaxing that Camila was sure that, even if she wasn't sleepy, she could succumb to sleep anyway. She noticed how Lauren was fond of caressing Camila's cheek with her thumb or to comb her hair with her fingers, and Camila was glad about those habits because she enjoyed it just as much.

As if reading her thoughts, Camila felt Lauren's thumb on her cheek. Her reaction was to lean in at Lauren's touch and to close her eyes. Seconds before, she was screaming on the inside just because she was thinking that she was going to sleep with her girlfriend a whole night, and now she was a relaxed baby, thanks to Lauren's caresses.

"I'm so happy.", Camila heard Lauren whisper and opened her eyes.

"I'm happy too."

And with that, both girls fell asleep, content with the day's events and looking forward to the next days together.

A/N: Yooo, wazzup!

This kind of chapters make me sad, cuz I'm single af. But whatever, I hope you are enjoying just as much to read this story just as much as I am enjoying writing it.

I have 2 reminders to make to you. First, I have other 2 camren fics, Looking For Lauren and Ice Cream & U. It takes a bit longer to update than this one, but I'll update eventually. Secondly, there are still 780 MILLION people who don't have access to clean water and that's A HUGE PROBLEM. People die because of that, you know? There are five-year-old kids who just want to have clean water to drink and their only concern is not to die with the amount of diseases they get when ours was what Barbie or video game we would want for Christmas. I would give you a link, but you know, Wattpad is kinda meh about it, so search on youtube for a video called Make The Difference - WATERisLIFE and watch it. If you can, donate, the link is in the description. Even like, a dollar can help, so MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

Drinks lots of water cuz this heat is getting to me tho.

PS: Sorry for the amount of times I sai "happy", "happiness" and "caresses". I like that words a lot, it seems.
