Musically In Love

Chapter 18

*Lauren*

Dinner was amazing. We talked about life, laughed about our experiences and even opened up about some of the dark stuff. My heart is literally glowing because I didn't expect Camila to be so comfortable with me.

We're laying on the little picnic blanket that I had set out for us. Camila picked The Vow for us to watch--which is surprisingly what I thought she'd pick. She's laying next to me, only a bowl of popcorn between us, and I can't help but glance over at her every few minutes. This feels surreal. Camila is actually laying next to me right now. She looks so comfortable with her legs crossed one over the other, her shoes off and her hair in loose waves placed so perfectly on the pillow where she rested her head. She seems so intrigued by what is about to happen even though we both have seen this movie about 100 times.

My eyes scan her perfect side profile. Her beautiful eyes with the longest lashes that almost flutters everytime she blinks and makes the buttrrflies in my stomach flutter in unison with them. Her perfectly shaped nose that peaks and leads down to her perfectly supple lips, sweetly pink and glistening in the light of the TV.

I cannot help but stare and just then she furrows her eyebrows and turns and looks at me and I quickly turn towards the TV.

C: "Were you just staring at me, Lo?"

I turn to look at her, putting on the most confused expression.

L: "What? No??.. I'm staring at Channing Tatum!" I smirk. Knowing very well that she knows I was staring at her and that she knows I very much would actually rather be staring at Rachel McAdams.

C: "Riiight. Sure you were!" she shoves me playfully.

I turn on my side to face her and lift my upper body up, leaning on my elbow. I look down at her and she seems to be very deep in thought.

L: "What's up, babe?"

C: "I'm just thinking.. Can I ask you something?

I nod.

C:" Would you stay and fight?"

L: "Fight? What am I fighting for exactly?"

She giggles and brings a hand up to cover her eyes.

C: "No, silly! The movie. If the person you're in love with somehow forgets everything. They forget about you and how you met and they forget that they love you. Would you stay and fight?"

L: "Absolutely. I feel the same way Channing does. If she fell in love with me once, she will fall in love with me again. I just have to be myself and as difficult as it gets, I will be patient and I won't give up trying."

She just looks up at me and smiles the sweetest smile that makes her eyes glisten.

C:"Well, that's really amazing. Says alot about the type of person you are.."

L: "Oh? And what type of person is that?"

Just then, she takes the bowl of popcorn that is sat between us and she moves it to the other side of her. Then she gently grasps the neck line of my t-shirt and tugs on it slightly to bring me down towards her face.
Just as our  lips make contact, she smiles against my lips and my entire body wants to breaks out and trembles slightly. She kisses me so sensually, tasting both my top and bottom lips before parting my lips with her tongue and deepening the kiss.

Without breaking the kiss, I start to shift my body so that I'm straddingly Camila on the floor, my arms holding me up on either side of her. To my surprise, she isn't shy with her hands. At first they rest on my upper back and slowly moves down to my lower back and then my ass. She squeezes slightly and it sends shockwaves through my core and tingles in my lower tummy. I moan softly into her mouth. As soon as I do that, she gets up, gently pushes me off her and gets on top of me.
