Camila's POV

I hadn't spoken to Lauren ever since she made that comment the other day. Last night, I stayed at Dinah's to make sure that I could avoid her as much as possible. I knew that Lauren would try and explain when she did see me which would probably only lead to arguments, hence why I decided to stay clear. It wasn't that i was necessarily surprised about what the older girl said, it just hurts knowing that our relationship meant a lot more to me than it ever did to her. I did however, want Lauren to explain herself at some point as we'd come too far for us to go back to completely ignoring each other. I guess I'm not technically mad at Lauren, mainly at the fact that I'd wasted my first kiss on someone who didn't even feel the same.

I was on my way back from university to return home for the first time since the previous morning. Honestly, I was nervous as to what would happen when I saw Lauren but I knew that we needed to talk about it rather than just ignore each other. I parked my car in the drive and headed inside the door. I greeted my parents and made small talk with them before going upstairs and into my room.

"Hey Camila" Lauren spoke when I opened the door. She was sat on my bed with fairy lights surrounding her. There was a picnic laid out in front of her and candles lit all throughout the room. Lauren was wearing some black joggers and one of my hoodies and looked as cute as ever.

"Lauren? What's all this?" I spoke, gesturing to the picnic Lauren had set up. I couldn't understand why Lauren had done this after what she said yesterday.

"I did this for you, I mean technically I did it yesterday but when you didn't show, I decided to try again today" she spoke.

"But you said..." I tried to say but she cut me off.

"I know what I said Camila and you have to believe me when I say I'm so so sorry for that. I never meant to hurt you and honestly I didn't even mean it, not in the slightest. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and the thought of losing you makes my heart physically hurt. I know I was an idiot and I know you probably don't believe me but I really like you and I'm so sorry for making you think any different" she spoke, looking at me intensely the whole time.

"How do you know though Lauren? What if it's just because I'm the only option, and when you get out of here you'll just forget about me" I spoke and Lauren stood from the bed and walked towards me.

"Hey, look at me. I promise you that I'll be right by your side as long as you'll have me. Even if I can go back to America, you're not gonna get rid of me that easily Camila, I'm not gonna give up on us okay?" She spoke and wrapped her arms around me.

"Okay, I'm sorry for getting mad" I spoke, hugging her back.

"Don't apologise babe, it was my fault in the first place" she laughed and took my hand. "I'm serious about this Camila, me and you baby" she finished and gave me a soft smile.

"You and me" I replied, smiling back.

"I missed you camz" she spoke whilst leading me to the bed.

"Camz?" I questioned, raising my eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's your new nickname, you don't like it?" She replied.

"No I like it, just everyone normally calls me Mila" I spoke before pouring myself a drink.

"Well I'm not everyone camz" she spoke, emphasising the last word.

"I suppose not" I spoke. "And for the record, I missed you too" I finished, leaning in and planting a quick kiss on the older girls lips. I noticed Lauren had prepared food varying from home cooked chicken to strawberries dipped in chocolate and I could tell from looking at it that she'd spent a lot of time on it all.

"This chicken tastes like my grandmas, man I used to go all the way to Cuba for this shit" I spoke after tasting the food.

"You can take the girl out of Cuba, but ya can't take the Cuba out of the girl" Lauren spoke in her best Cuban accent. Although I'd never admit it to Lauren, she sounded sexy as hell with the accent.

When we finished the picnic, Lauren cleared everything up and headed downstairs to wash up. I offered help but she insisted that she did it and so headed down to start. I informed her that I would be taking a shower whilst she was downstairs, this gave me time to think about the day, as I hadn't yet had time to reflect on exactly what had happened. Somehow, Lauren was able to make me go from hating her to being practically in love with her in about 5 minutes. I didn't like being this vulnerable but Lauren made it seem easy, the green eyed girl was my weakness.

Once I'd finished up in the shower, I climbed out and found a note on the floor. It read 'Hurry up in the shower camz, I want cuddles x'. I smiled at Lauren's gesture and headed back into my room with the towel around me.

"Hey princess" Lauren spoke as I walked back in to the bedroom. She was under the bed covers wearing an oversized t-shirt. The light was off and the only thing lighting the room was the fairy lights lauren had earlier placed on the bed post. The green eyed girl looked perfect in this moment and I felt lucky to have her in my life.

"Hey beautiful" I replied before grabbing some clothes from my wardrobe and placing them on the bed. Lauren stood from the bed and began waking towards me, I could now see the girl wasn't wearing any pants, the shirt reaching just above her knees.

"You know" Lauren whispered in my ear from behind. "You could always leave those clothes off" she finished whilst nibbling on my ear lobe.

"Nice try Jauregui" I replied. I tried to spin around, only for the older girl to tighten her grip on my waste and begin placing light kisses at the back on my neck. She slowly turned me around, kissing my collar bone as she did so. She really wasn't making this easy for me. At first, I tried to resist but ended up giving in and pushed Lauren backwards on to the bed. I climbed so I was straddling the girl and placed my hands at the back of her neck. I pulled her top over her head whilst letting my towel drop from my body. Lauren pulled back from kissing me and looked me up and down, taking her time as she did so. No one had ever looked at me the way Lauren was in this moment, she was looking like I was the most precious thing in the world and it made me feel amazing.

"You're so beautiful" she spoke in a raspy tone. I blushed at her comment and bit my bottom lip embarrassed.

"I've never, you know, done this before" I spoke, avoiding eye contact with Lauren as I did so.

"Considering I was your first kiss, I should hope you haven't babe" she replied, running her fingers through my hair.

"Just, what if I do something wrong" I spoke, growing more nervous at the situation. Lauren placed her hand under my chin and tilted my head up to look at her.

"Don't be nervous camz, no pressure okay?" Lauren reassured and I felt comforted by her words. I looked at the girl a little longer before connecting my lips with hers again.

"Lie down" I spoke, sounding more confident than I was feeling. Lauren smirked before obliging and laying her head on a pillow. This was going to be a long night.
