Lagoon (camren)

chapter 4

I woke up, and saw that it was dark out. I looked around groggy from just waking up. I could only see things from the shine of the moonlight.

“Did you have a nice nap?” I recognized Lauren’s raspy voice, and  realized that she was carrying me bridal style. 

“uh yeah..i did”

“We feel asleep laying next to the lagoon, it started to rain a bit so i decided to try to make our way back to the lifeboat just in case” Lauren was still carrying me, surprising me with her strength.

“I can walk” I hopped off of her, partly angry because of how helpless i was. She wouldn’t even let me walk on my own, she had to carry me.

“I can see anger on your face” Lauren laughed “I didn’t want to wake you up. I didn’t mean to belittle you”.

“Wow, i didn’t know a word like belittle was in your vocab” I said, smirking and following Lauren.

“Haha. Your so funny” She bumped into my side.

We finally got to the beach, the clouds covering most of the moon. There was no doubt in my mind that it would start down pouring in a few minutes. I wasn’t looking forward to this because i was wearing white skinny jean and a blue button down. My clothes are really going to stick to me if they get wet.

We climbed onto the lifeboat, and Lauren adjusted the tarpaulin over the top of the boat, creating almost a big umbrella over top of us.

“I’m bored” Lauren said, laying down on the blanket. “I miss my family. I miss my friends. I miss my life”.

“Stop, the more you think about it, the more depressed you will get”. I couldn’t believe i was the one comforting Lauren.

“Come lay with me” Lauren said, she looked at me with a new look in her eyes. She looked lost.

I crawled over to her and rested my head in her neck, my arm across her waist. This was becoming our favorite cuddling position.

All of a sudden i heard lightning and let out a little scream as the clouds broke, releasing a steady down pour of rain. Lauren was laughing hysterically.

“Omg please don’t tell me you are scared of storms” Lauren said between loud laughs.

“No, it just caught me off guard” I said, in a way lying.

“Ok, sure it did”

“It did!” I said, trying to sound convincing. I kicked her shin.

“Oww, Camila stop the violence!” 

“Never!” I giggled and stuck out my tongue at her.

I then felt water on my arm, i looked down. Shit. The tarpaulin was slightly leaking, an small droplets of water were filling up the bottom of the boat.

“Laur, its leaking”. I said looking at the water, i was already shivering from the cold air, but now i had water slightly soaking my clothes as well.

“i know, here take my sweatshirt” She started to take it off but i stopped her.

“No, cause then you are going to be cold”. I said.

Then all of a sudden she pulled my body so that i was laying on top of her. My elbows were holding my upper body up, my head was hovering over hers. Our legs were tangled together, our chests pressed up against another.

I couldn’t feel the water anymore, all i could feel was the heat radiating off of Lauren. My breathing was labored, our lips were only inches apart. i wanted to kiss her. I really want to kiss those pink lips.
