Only You Can Save Me

"Hell of a way to start a conversation, huh?"

AN: Whoever can name this song without googling the lyrics gets a shout out next chap: "I'mma need you deeper than six, not a coffin/We're not making love, tryna get nasty."

Lauren and Taylor had slept in that morning long after Camila went to work. She called her boss when she woke up to request the day off, and he told her it was no problem. Lauren didn't get out of bed until 15 minutes before she needed to leave, quickly getting herself and Taylor ready. She packed some of Taylor's toys into his diaper bag along with the necessities before putting him in the car and driving to Taco Bell and then the school.

The older woman got in the parking lot and took Taylor out of his car seat and headed toward her wife's office. Lauren noticed a lot of women looking at her with a child and she couldnt help but laugh at being right about what she told Camila the night before. They got to the building and she took the elevator up to Camila's office. She was thankful the woman had a couch because she knew that Taylor was going to need a nap soon because the little boy was getting fussy. Lauren got to the door, opening it quickly, not noticing another person sitting there. 

Camila leaned across her desk some to point to something on the assignment. "This is really all I'm looking for, Claire. Just to focus on the history of the artist himself. This once is going to be the most open of all of the assignments this term. They're going to..." she trailed off when Lauren came into her office with their son. Camila had informed her student that her wife would be coming by with their son at any time and she seemed okay with it. 

"Thank god we are here. He is getting really fussy. He needs a nap, badly." Lauren said as she walked over to the couch to set the diaper bag down.

"Just interrupt a meeting with a student, babe." Camila chuckled some, as did Claire, before the student looked toward Lauren and froze.

Lauren was running a bit late which didn't help with the stress she was feeling. She set the bag down and picked up the food bag. She looked up when her wife spoke. "Oh, sorry. I didn't realize there was someone else in here." 

"Excuse me for a moment," Camila pushed herself back from her desk and went to her wife to kiss her softly then reach out to take Taylor. "There's mami's big man." She gently ran her hand along Taylor's back and he nuzzled right into her neck.

Lauren handed Taylor over to her wife. Once she got a good look at the other person in the room, she felt her heart drop. What the fuck was Claire doing here...in her wife's office. Lauren noticed the look on the other woman's face.

"Hello Lauren." Claire said. Now was not the time to start any unnecessary drama. She was already stressed as it was. Lauren didn't say anything to Claire she just walked over and set the bag of food on Camila's desk.

Camila pressed her lips to the side of Taylor's head as he started to close his eyes and relax in her arms. She frowned as she heard her student call her wife by her name. She chose to ignore it, figuring they must have had a class together or something. 

"Sorry for interrupting." Lauren said mostly to Camila. She didn't give a shit about the other woman in the room.

"It's no problem." Claire said to Lauren as she watched the two women.

"It's okay. Are you off to your class now?" Camila reached out with her hand to rest it on Lauren's hip.

"No one asked you." Lauren said as she turned her attention back to her book bag, pulling out a notebook and her class book. She couldnt believe this was happening right now. Lauren turned around and glared at Claire. She couldnt believe that her ex was in her wife's class.
