C: Welcome to Valentine's Day baby😍🥰❤️

I smiled sleepily and rolled over onto my stomach, her simple words waking me up within seconds. I unplugged my phone and pulled it a bit closer to me.

L: I finally made it🥳 happy Valentine's Day babe😘😘

C: I only have two hours left over here so pleaseeee please please call when you can💞

L: Give me 5

I immediately placed the phone on my nightstand and sat up in my bed, stretching my arms up over my body and rolling my head in a slow circle. I wasn't exactly awake enough to have a conversation yet, but Camila was in Dubai, of all places, which meant the time difference was fucking with our Valentines Day. Finally, we were both in it, and I wasn't going to miss talking to her.

I looked over at my phone to see two messages pop up, one after the other.

C: ✋🏼

Tara: Valentines post — can I send you some drafts?

I rolled my eyes at Tara's text. I really needed to stop forgetting that I was still supposed to be dating Ty. I quickly told her to send me whatever she had planned for "my" cutesy Valentine's Day post for him, and went to FaceTime Camila, hoping to forget about some of the bullshit for a second.

"Mi querida novia preciosa, reina de mi mundo (My lovely, precious girlfriend, queen of my world)!" Camila answered in an exaggerated fashion.

"Hi." I giggled.

"You sound sleepy. And cute. And you look hot. I love you right when you wake up."

"Well, here in the western world, a lot of us are just now waking up."

"Western world." she laughed.

"Is that funny?" I smirked.

"It just makes me picture everyone in little cowboy hats. You look hot in cowboy hats."

"I'm sorry, has this happened often enough for you to know that?" I laughed.

"It only needs to happen once, Lauren."

"Whatever you say. Maybe I'll find one and send you a late Valentine's Day photo shoot."

"Don't tease me."

"Wish I was there to."

I watched Camila bite her lip, holding back a smile and blushing. I smiled back at her, taking in every inch of her beauty on the small screen in front of me. This was something I especially loved about this era of our relationship: even if we were fighting about something or in a weird place, we could always put it aside and just focus on loving each other for a little bit. We were still trying to wait to really talk about everything in person, but we had been able to ease some of the tension the morning after the Grammys...
