It'll Be Our Secret

Por Favor

I woke up to the sound of Lauren's soft breathing on my neck as her hand slumped over my chest.

I picked up her hand awkwardly and crawled out of the claustrophobic position.

I thought it would wake her up, but it didn't. She still remained asleep.

I walked into the bathroom and looked at my messy bedhead as well as my neck, which was still covered in marks from previous events.

I washed my face, turn on the shower head, and then I remembered something.

Ty.

Who is this person named Ty? And who the fuck has a name that is 'Ty'?

No, no. I'm not going to be that girlfriend. I'm not going to look through her phone, text the person that I'm suspecting, or even accuse her of it!

Lauren loves me. She tells me that everyday. She tells me that especially more than once everyday.

And I love her back. I refuse to believe that she would cheat on me.

My deep thinking is interrupted by Lauren's soft, raspy voice.

"Camz? Are you in the bathroom?"

I looked over and remember that the shower is running.

"Yeah, baby, I was just about to get in the shower."

"Ooooo, can I join you?"

"Is that even a question? It sounds more like a way to tell me that I'm about to get laid."

She chuckled, but my heart still raced with anxiety. Should I approach her about this 'Ty'?

I decided not to, because right now I'm about to have a good time.

"I love how you scream in Spanish babe. It's super hot."

She mimics my moans and makes fun of me.

"Hey, it's your doing. You make me scream out in Spanish."

"I have no problem doing that." She winked, making me blush.

"Ha, ok. Well anyways, today I was thinking we could meet up with the other girls. I really miss them."

"I can text them right now. I'm sure they'd love to hang out."

She gets on her phone, once again reminding me of what I wish I didn't see.

I'm gonna do it.

"Hey... I need to talk to you about something."

"Yeah?" Her face screamed innocence, making my heart sink for what I was about to ask.

"Who is Ty?"

"Um... you remember the Work From Home video?"

I nodded.

"Well, he's the guy that we collabed with."

Suddenly I remembered. Ty Dolla Sign! He was sweet. But why is he texting Lauren?

"Why is he texting you?" I said a little too harshly.

I regretted asking that in such a harsh way... I don't want her to think I'm accusing her of cheating on me.

"He wanted to ask me out. But I said no. Did you see the text that he sent me? Is this why you were distant from me?" The pain in Lauren's eyes made my heart drop.

I couldn't speak.

"Camila, baby, por favor... don't think I'm cheating on you. I would never cheat on you."

"I-I didn't think that you were... I was so afraid of knowing the truth though. You know how I am, I trust too much, and it causes me to get hurt."

"I know baby. And I would never want to hurt you like that. Ever."

I was so relieved that I actually sighed.
