Lauren had taken a shower then, even though she'd taken one right before going to bed the night before. Her mom had always told her a shower could work miracles and she was really trying to believe in that. When she'd gotten out to dry herself up then however, nothing much had changed and her mind was still a mess.

"Lauren, the airbnb guy says we need to check out." Camila's voice called out through the bathroom door. "We're an hour late."

"Oh shit. Okay I'll be out in a sec." Lauren called back at the brunette before quickly brushing her teeth, deciding to skip the make-up routine for the day and rushing out of the bathroom. "What time is it?"

"Ten."

Lauren scoffed. "Places with checkouts at nine suck."

Camila chuckled. "Agreed." She said before quickly brushing her teeth in the bathroom. She'd already packed up some stuff and gotten dressed, much to Lauren's surprise. It's not like she thought Camila wasn't able to look after herself, she just hadn't expected the girl to be this independent.

They were sat in the car about ten minutes later. Camila had applied some mascara and nothing more and Lauren had packed the rest of their stuff into the car. She'd also checked her phone and texted Tom and Zayn that she and Camila were alright.

"So what now?" Camila asked.

Lauren looked at the clock 10:11am. The deal would be taking place around dinnertime tonight. She had to keep Camila busy until that time. "How do you feel about theme-parks?" She asked the young woman sitting next to her. Camila let out the cutest giggle Lauren had ever heard before nodding her head excitedly.

Lauren smiled widely. "Universal?"

"Oh my god, you are kidding right?" Camila asked, her face practically shining in the morning sun.

Lauren shook her head. "Or do you have other plans today?" She asked, already hoping to know the answer.

"N-not really." Camila mumbled, grabbing her phone from her pocket and furrowing her eyebrows when seeing what's on her screen. "Armando is- he's-"

"Pissed?"

She looked up from her phone and towards where Lauren was sitting, behind the steering wheel. "11 missed calls." Camila practically whispered, holding her phone up for Lauren to see, together with the 24 messages her husband had sent her.

"I mean.." The raven haired woman sighed. "We could also just go home. I just figured it would be nice to spend a day together, since you're leaving in two days you know.."

The brunette ran a hand through her hair while staring at the electronic device in her hand. "No- y-yeah I wanna- I would like that, Lo."

Lauren smiled when hearing the nickname she'd only ever read on that one text and reached out to take Camila's hand in hers. She sighed deeply while staring into the other woman's eyes before shaking her head. "God.." She breathed out. "I really don't want- this to end."

What she'd said had a bit of a double meaning. Of course she was talking about whatever was going on between her and the beautiful latina sitting next to her. But also about her undercover mission and persona she was still trying to keep up even though the real her was shining through more and more, with every hour that passed.

She watched how Camila bit her lip before the slightly younger woman reached forward and pressed a soft kiss onto her cheek. Bubbles filled with glitter and fireworks went through Lauren's body every time Camila's skin touched her, let alone when her lips touched her cheek. "Fuck.." She breathed out. Realising once more how fucked up the situation she'd gotten both herself and this beautiful girl into. "I'm so sorry.." She whispered.
