S.O.S

Chapter 28

A week later Lauren nervously knocked on the door. Their busy schedule made it impossible for both for them to go to the movies. But of course, if Camila had asked she would've cancelled all her plans for her.

The past week consisted of them texting every moment they had. On Lauren's first lunch break they settled their date for the movies, but afterwards it became kind of a habit for Lauren to call her during her lunch break, or the other way around.

But meeting her in person, that's something totally different to her. Just taking to Camila makes Lauren feel all gushy. Her hands start to sweat and she uses every opportunity to tease her. She even gets to the point where smiling hurts too much.

But seeing her, seeing the girl that left her side two years ago. A girl that turned into a woman. It bring another side up in Lauren. It leaves her aching. Even if she's right next to her it isn't enough. It's an unpleasant feeling, but it keeps her drawing back again to Camila.

The door shrieks open, letting the brunette come in a view in some ripped black jeans and a multi colored crop top. She can't imagine the girl she got to know two years ago would be wearing a crop top today.

"Come in." She pushed the door further open to her apartment, letting Lauren pass. She takes a look around. It's small, very small.

"I'm sorry it's been such a hectic day, I didn't have the time to clean everything." The girl sighed walking ahead of Lauren in the open space.

"You should see mine." Lauren waved her off, her apartment was always a mess. "I'll hold you onto that." Camila threw a smile in her direction, leaving Lauren confused.

"Wait? On what?" She questioned, wondering is she just missed a complete part of the conversation. She wouldn't actually blame herself knowing that the girl in front of her had an ass that was quite distracting. It wouldn't be the first time Lauren ever dozed off on a person when someone would pass by.

"You just invited me, and I'm taking you up on it." Camila cleared up, obvious to Lauren's stares.

"I did? Hey, hold up." Lauren calls, following the brunette to her sleeping room. But her attention is quickly focused on a whole new territory, the bedroom wall is covered with posters and lights. While her bed is full with clothes and her closet looks like it will fall apart in a second. Her hand comes in contact with a small desk that is practically hidden under a stack of papers. It's full of sketches, variating from animals, to flowers and humans.

One springs out to her in particular, its a drawing of a red rose with a marigold. Their steels are tangled together with a big red heart around it. Making the flowers look like they're popping out.

She knows Camila has drawn it, not being a coincidence since her favorite flower is the red rose. She looks over to the brunette who is tying her shoe laces together on the bed, her back facing her.

Lauren can only vaguely remember that she told Camila that her favorite flower is a marigold. Let alone believe it that Camila remembered it.

Lauren scans over the desk, hoping to find anything that suggest she was indeed on the brunettes mind. It could've been just a small drawing she made when she was bored, but Lauren silently hoped it was more. And that she drew more of them. Unfortunately she couldn't find it.

"I'm ready." Camila speaks up, getting of the bed only to find Lauren with the piece of paper in her hand.   "Oh." Her cheeks redden, as her mouth falls open in surprise. She quickly grabs the drawing putting it on another pile of papers Lauren didn't even see.
