INFATUATION ⇒ CAMILA MENDES

xxvi

Time had passed, and it had been a few days since Camila and Madelaine had come to stay with Daniella. It may be cheesy, but ever since the raven-haired girl arrived, Daniella hadn't been able to get much sleep due to the fact that she was constantly on her mind. Daniella had found herself falling quick for this one girl.

Throughout the past few days, there was light flirting between the two. The usual stolen glances & sarcastic remarks. Camila even fell asleep on Daniella's shoulder while watching a movie one night. Daniella found herself falling easily for the girl, which she was exactly afraid of.

It was about eight o'clock in the morning. Madelaine and Camila were still surprisingly asleep, but not Daniella. Daniella isn't usually up this early, but she hasn't been able to sleep much lately, and she didn't want to lie around for much longer, so she walked downstairs to the kitchen and decided to make some breakfast.

She wasn't that good of a cook. All she knew how to make were scrambled eggs, so she grabbed the ingredients out of the fridge, and began to prepare them. Not wanting to wake the girls up, she tried her best not to make too much noise. As Daniella was cooking, she heard light footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Good morning," yawned Camila as she sleepily rubbed her eyes, which were slightly widened due to the sight of Daniella in a sports bra. She grabbed a stool to sit on from the counter, and made her way over to the stove where Daniella was cooking, "Scrambled eggs?," Camila asked, plopping herself down in the stool.

Daniella raised an eyebrow, "Uh, yeah? It's the only thing I know how to cook!"

"But they're so, cómo se dice, plain," Camila groaned, "Do you know how to make anything else?"

Daniella playfully rolled her eyes, "I don't, but hey! My eggs are pretty good!"

Camila wandered over to the cabinet, looking for some cereal, "I'm not the best at cooking either." She squealed once she found what she was looking for, but ended up not being able to reach the cereal, due to it being on a high shelf in the cabinet. "Oh, c'mon!" Camila groaned as she jumped to try to reach. Daniella was done cooking, so she turned the stove off, and walked over to the struggling girl to try and help.

"Need some help?" Daniella teased as she stood behind the shorter girl, easily grabbing the box of cereal. As she was about to hand it over, Camila unexpectedly turned around, causing them to be face to face for a quick second.

"Here, ever think of growing a few inches?," Daniella teased, smirking, looking into Camila's soft, brown eyes, which she was now rolling.

"Eh, you could just get stuff off high shelves for me now. No biggie," Camila winked.

Daniella remembered that the bowls and plates were on a high shelf in the cabinet, so instead of watching the shorter girl struggle again, she decided to grab a bowl and a plate for herself, passing the bowl to Camila, and serving herself some eggs. The two girls then proceeded to walk over to dining room table, sitting across from one another. There was faint silence for a moment, until Danielle decided to speak up.

"Will you at least try my eggs?," Daniella begged, pouting.

Camila groaned playfully, throwing her head back, "Do I have to?"

Daniella nodded her head, putting some eggs on her fork. "Yes, it's only fair! Open up."

Camila furrowed her eyebrows, trying not to laugh, her mouth opening as Daniella fed her the food she had made. They both giggled as Camila dramatically chewed the food.

"They're not bad!," Camila said as she took the fork from the girl across from her, grabbing some more eggs, "I wouldn't mind if you cooked more."

Daniella grinned, "I wouldn't mind cooking more; for you, of course. You haven't even had my grilled cheese!"
