Infatuation//Camren

Chapter 9

I closed my eyes. A wave of relief washed over me when I heard her voice.

"Camila, where were you?" Lauren asked. I could tell she'd been worrying about me. She rarely calls me Camila.
"I met this lady, she lives on the top floor. We started talking. I was at her apartment," I said.
"Until one in the morning?" Lauren asked.
"Yes, Lauren. You had your time, I left you alone. I left you to have your time with your boys. So excuse me if I wanted to have some time for myself," I said feeling the anger inside me flare up again.
"I texted you, called you. I was worried Camz," Lauren said, grabbing my hands. I stepped away from her and ignored the hurt look in her eyes. Her face went stony and cold, and she turned on her heel. "I'm taking a shower," she said. I knew she just needed to cool off. I didn't want to fight anymore, I was tired.
"I just had to be away for a bit, Lauren," I said quietly as she walked away. I pulled a cigarette out from my purse and lit it. I needed to relax. I sat on the couch and sat back, letting my lazy head rest, staring up at the ceiling. I listened to the distant sound of the shower. I inhaled the smoke, and blew out thin wisps into the air. The room I was in was dark, the only light from the bathroom door cracked open, a sliver of yellow light piercing through the shadowy half-light of the apartment. I felt alone.
I heard the shower go off, and the apartment plunged into silence. The only sound I could hear was my breathing. Soon after, Lauren came out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped under her arms. Beads of water still glistened on her chest and shoulders. The golden light of the bathroom made her silhouette prominent, casting shadows on my face. And I thought, in that moment, she looked a little bit like an angel. I smiled weakly at her.
I really was in love with her. Sometimes I forgot.

"I'm sorry," She said softly. She walked towards me slowly and quietly.
I said nothing, just stood up. I turned around to grab another cigarette. While I had my back turned, she wrapped her arms around my waist, hugging me from behind. She rested her face in the crook of my neck, her wet hair tickling my jaw. Drops of water fell onto my shoulders. Lauren kissed my neck lightly. I could smell her, soap and cigarettes and faintly, whiskey.
"I know," I said, looking down at my fidgeting hands. Lauren slid her hands to intertwine with mine.
"Do you forgive me?" She mumbled against my skin.
"Yeah," I whispered, nodding.
"I love you," She said, and even though she was drunk I knew she was being sincere.
I turned around to face her. "I love you," I said, biting my lip. Lauren stared at my lips for a second before grabbing my hips and pushing me against the wall, pinning me against her. I tried to conceal my smile.
"I missed you," She whispered against my neck with a ghost of a smile on her face, laying gentle kisses over my bruised skin.
"I don't want to fight anymore. Can we go to bed?" I said quietly, looking up at her.
Lauren nodded, grabbed my hand and led me to the bedroom. I slipped my jeans off, then my shirt.
I crawled into the sheets after her, settling in. Lauren wrapped her arms around me, all of our limbs tangling together. I wanted to be close to her, closer than this. But there was no possible way we could be closer, other than sex. But it was nice, sometimes, to just hug her. Have her hold me.
"I love you so much," She whispered before she drifted off.
