Beautiful When You Don't Try (Camren)

Chapter 64

A/N: Okay. So this is a really long chapter. This has a little bit of everything in it. Cute Camren, sexy Camren, a little Normani, a little Dinah, a little... Kimdrianne? Adrianne/Kim. Some funny, some sweet, some drama, some sexytimes. It's all in here.

Thank you again for your likes and comments on the last chapter. I knew the scene between the three women was going to leave everyone feeling a little low so in this chapter is some humor as well.

Thank you all again. You are truly amazing. Hope you enjoy.

"Why aren't you in bed?" Camila asked as Lauren crawled under the covers with her.

"I am in bed."

"Why aren't you in your bed? You know, the guest bed." The brunette mumbled as she peeked at the clock on her night stand. It was only midnight.

"I spent most of the night there. I did my time. Now I've come to apologize for my inappropriate behavior."

"Are you planning on working for it now and not just trying to have sex with me? And don't even start about you being the one to give and not get, because I know you. You like giving just as much as getting. Being told no to either one makes you cranky. So... do you have another way?" Camila asked as she rolled over to face her fiancée who was nodding with a smile on her face. "How?"

"By singing to you again. By singing my second choice for our first dance." The raven haired woman explained, rolling on her side and propping her head in her hand. "It's more of a view from my side of things and I didn't think you knew it, so I suggested At Last. It was a better fit in general. So... would that suffice, and maybe I can sleep in here for the rest of the night?"

Camila feigned contemplation, knowing that she wouldn't allow the photographer to spend the whole night away from her. It had nearly killed her just this long. She had stayed up tossing and turning, feeling out of place without Lauren by her side while knowing that she was just down stairs. But something Clara said kept playing in her head. In a moment of motherly advice, Clara stressed the importance of putting your foot down at one point in the beginning of a marriage to show that while most times things will just blow over, if a line is crossed, Camila would hold her to the consequences. The brunette thought this was something light enough that Lauren would go along with it without feeling hurt or abandoned. Turns out she was right.

"Let's hear the song and then I'll decided it you have worked off you penance."

"Again, it's kind of my views on our relationship and how we've gotten here."

Camila nodded and waited as the raven haired cleared her throat.

"Unexpected? Understatement of the year, that's for sure. Who'd have thought that I'd be standing at your door? It's just the way you say my name that throws me. All the windows of my past are closing. And everything that you see here is for you, from me. I'd give it away so easily. Never stopped to look at what's behind. For you from me. Everything we want will be holding us together tonight. Unexpected. I'm not use to chasing dreams and catching them. All of a sudden I'm a winner in the end. I'm use to every door I open closing. Making sure I'm never supposing. I can't believe how real they get. We will never fall. We'll defy the laws of this world, rulers of our own. And that's the way I feel, stupid but for real. All I am is for you, from me. I'd give it away so easily. Never stopped to look at what's behind. For you from me. Everything we want will be holding us together tonight. Tonight."

Camila worried her bottom lip as Lauren laid there, waiting for her verdict. "Do you have a list of songs prepared or something? I mean, I really wouldn't mind having you do this every day. Especially with your ability to find the perfect ones."
