Curious to know you

Fly away butterfly

So I haven't written for a while, it's been hard, plus I was on holiday, this is probably the last chapter. I never envisioned the point after this, but I hope you have all enjoyed it 🌺

We had walked off backstage, Lauren holding my hand but immediately let go when we were out of sight. Both still in imminent shock, would she still take me for who I am? I'm just a girl, a human being, connected to another by a wonderful bond.

We stayed silent until we reached my dressing room, I opened the door for her to walk through first and closed the door behind me.
I then found myself pinned too the door, with the green eyed beauty holding me against it, almost nose to nose, analysing me like she couldn't figure it all out or quite believe what had happened. Feeling the courage I spoke up first. "I'm sorry I never told you".
She just stared for a few seconds before replying.
"I don't know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn't that".
She sighed in defeat, loosening her grip and letting go of me before pacing the room.
"Things have just been so complicated and I've been carrying what feels like a burden with me for years, I never meant for any of this you know". I tried reasoning with her.
"I know, it's just very overwhelming, I feel like half of you I don't even know, everything has changed". She rubbed her forehead.
"Let me explain to you". I'm trying here please Lauren why won't she listen.
"I need to go I shouldn't be here".
This wasn't what I was expecting and I am totally not letting her leave till she hears it.
"All my life, I wanted to be free and normal without the pressure that followed around and plagued everyone I knew, it was simple and easy, I never got harassed, people didn't use me, they liked me for me, I always thought I would stay out of the spotlight, until I met you"
I paused, she looked up at me stilling in her movement, breathing heavily, anxiety and panic washed through me. I caught my breath before carrying on. "You have changed everything, I'm not scared anymore, people can know the truth, as long as I have you it doesn't matter, I really thought I was free living that way, but the truth is, i wasn't, I was hiding and running away from my problems, I care about you and I understand if you need time".
Our eye contact had not broken yet, she came over to me and reached out for my hand, softly stroking it.
"Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this alone, I wish i could have been there for you, you didn't need to sacrifice all of this for me". A tear left my eye, I was overwhelmed with emotion.
"I couldn't continue to lie to you, it's been destroying me, a weight on my shoulder has been lifted, I know it's about to be a shit storm out there, but it's okay now".

She stroked my cheek before leaning in, was this really happening, I closed my eyes, embracing her soft sweet scent.
Her lips caught mine like they were made for me, I kissed back and oh boy did I never want this to end. It felt like our souls were finally connected how they should be, she knew the real me and that's all that mattered.
The kiss could have lasted an eternity and it would have still been too short.
It soon came too an end and we pulled back still mesmerised by each other.
"You're not alone anymore, when we go out there, you have my hand to hold, I promise you I am not going anywhere, for I am yours...and you are mine".
I let out a deep breath.
Bound by this infatuation, although I could tell it was more than that. It was everything I had been searching for and more.

Hand in hand we walked to the reception, everyone was waiting for us there. Simon came over and hugged me, "I'm glad you two have sorted this all out, but what's out there has turned into madness, you really are already a household name now Camila". I just smiled.
"I'm ready".
We walked outside and was hounded by paparazzi, people shouting me. "Camila are you and Lauren an item?" "Are you really the ghost writer?"
Luckily we had good bouncers who kept things under control, everyone wanted that picture of me for the newspapers and online gossip, I couldn't really care less.
We got into our taxi and I cuddled into Lauren, resting my head on her.
"I have a question", Lauren asked.
"Yes babe?".
"You wrote all of those songs right, well umm where they about some one else or?"
She was so cute when she went shy and stuttered.
"They were about you cutie, I actually had writers block before I met you and Simon kept pestering me about you".
She blushed hard, and I squeezed her cheek finding her adorable.
And in the end the girl that I was curious to know, well she was mine.
