Falling for you

Chapter 19

2 weeks later

"Girls!! C'mon, don't wanna be late on your first day at your new college!!" their mom yelled from the bottom of the staircase.

Instantly, both Lauren and Camila pulled away from their heated kiss with red cheeks looking at the other. Blushing and smiling, Camila looked to the floor hiding her face from Lauren. Lauren smiled to herself at how cute the young Cuban looked in front of her.

"C'mon we should go before they start worrying again" she spoke tucking a loose piece of Camila's hair behind her ear. Camila met Lauren's gaze which only caused her to smile more.

"I heart you," Camila said but instantly shut her eyes out of embarrassment, while Lauren chuckled at her. "That came out wrong"

"No, no. I think it came out perfectly" Lauren chuckled. She laughed even more when she earned a shove from the smaller Cuban.

"Oh whatever," she says with red cheeks, getting up from the bed. "When you're done laughing at me, I'll be downstairs"

"Haha, ok I'm done..for now at least" she joked walking up behind her as they made their way downstairs.

"Mom, Lauren is bothering me," Camila told as she walked into the kitchen.

"What!? No, I'm not"

"Lauren, honey stop messing with your girlfriend..who's your step-sister..wow, that has to be one of the weirdest things a parent has to ever say" their dad pointed out before kissing Lauren on the forehead, making her scrunch up her face.

"Heh, it's still weird when family movie night comes around for me," their mom said sipping her coffee looking at them over her cup.

"What how is family movie night weird?" Camila questioned sitting on a barstool.

"Yea. We just play family games and watch movies" Lauren chimed in sitting down next to the younger Cuban.

"Yes, but after a few rounds of playing a game or watching a movie, Camila would begin to fiddle with your hand then would kiss it," she says. "I even bet she's playing with your hand right now as we speak" She points out. Instantly both Lauren and Camila begin to blush as they look down to see indeed that Camila is playing with Lauren's hand.

"It's a subconscious habit!" Camila says with a bit of attitude, making them all laugh at her.

"I know baby. I know" Lauren says kissing her cheek, before getting up. "But cmon camz, we should get going," she says patting her knees.

Lauren walks away into the living to retrieve their backpacks and her motorcycle helmets, while Camila subconsciously smiled to herself before getting up.

"Thank you," she says as Lauren hands her a helmet and her bag.

"Of course," Lauren says as she throws her bag on her shoulder before opening the front door for Camila. "After you" smiling Camila walked out the door with Lauren close behind. Watching from the kitchen window, their parents chuckled at the two girls.

"Ok, this is a new place. Here they don't know about us or our secret" Camila mumbles to herself as Lauren put the helmets away. "They will only see you like the new girl on campus"

"Correction," Lauren says stepping next to Camila, causing her to jump a little. "They will only see you as like the new girl with the smokin' hot girlfriend who rides a motorcycle" she smiled looking her way. Camila then too smiled at her before looking down at Lauren's hand.

"You're right. I do have a smokin' hot girlfriend" she says lacing their fingers together. "And she's all mine"

"Got that right" Lauren said kissing her cheek. "C'mon let's go make a name for ourselves at Manhattan community college" pulling Camila along with her, Lauren happily made her way to the campus office.
