Let's Capture It

"I packed a bag enough for a good solid week." Lauren says, getting in the car. She had packed the suitcase in the trunk before starting the car.

"Hey, Camz what are you thinking about?" Lauren asks, noticing how silent her girlfriend had grown.

Camila looks out the window. "I'm sad that it's come to this... where I have to leave my own home. And I'm also slightly agitated as well."

Lauren pulls out of the driveway and makes her way back to her place. "It's stressful. I get it. But I'm here. Whatever I can do to help you I will."

"You're doing so much for me already.." she says to Lauren. "What if you get annoyed with me?"

Lauren rolls her eyes. "Camz... I'm not gonna get annoyed with you! Why are you doubting right now?"

"Because... I mean I don't know. I guess that's what happens... you'll get annoyed with me and start to look elsewhere." Camila shares with her, looking down in her lap.

Lauren squints her eyes, feeling slightly confused. "Look elsewhere? Camz... that's not gonna happen. I guarantee that it won't."

"Camz.. I will keep going until my last dying breath. I'm here to stay for as long as you want me to." Lauren says, taking the back of Camila's hand to kiss it.

About thirty minutes later, they'd finally reached Lauren's place. It was Camila's first time being there. Once she stepped out of the car, she took in the new scenery. And it was one she was going to have to get used to quickly.

Lauren grabs the suitcase that was put in the trunk and leads the way up to her apartment. Camila trails behind her, thanking her for bringing her suitcase up.

"It's no problem babe." Lauren says.

Both women walk into the apartment after Lauren unlocks the door, holding it open for Camila to enter. Camila sets her bag down on the stand next to the couch, and takes a seat. She watches Lauren set the suitcase in one of the rooms she disappeared in.

"I um... so yeah I know it's not much but this is pretty much it." Lauren shows her the apartment. "I plan to redecorate my entire place. Probably in a few months when I have the money."

"I think it looks great in here. Why change it?" Camila asks.

Lauren takes a seat next to Camila, swinging her arm around her. "I mean... you know, it's good to change things around every once in a while. I just do it like... every few months or so."

"I guess I see what you mean." Camila says, agreeing with her. "... I'm actually gonna just unpack my suitcase." she states, getting up to go into the bedroom.

"Yeah sure go ahead." Lauren says. It all seemed surreal to her, that Camila was actually going to be living with her.

For Camila, she was still stunned that Lauren had even offered her a place to stay. Her first choice would have definitely been Normani and Dinah. And if that wasn't working out, she would have moved back home with her father and sister.

"Do you want any help?" Camila snaps back to reality, not even noticing Lauren standing in the middle of the doorway.

"I... uh sure." she answers, nervously. Camila moved over slightly, to give room for Lauren to stand next to her.

"I actually have some space in my closet if you wanted to... hang some of these." Lauren tells her. She walks over to her closet door and reveals how much room she has. "I think we can actually fit everything in the suitcase in here."

"Thank you again Laur..." Camila says, touching her bicep.

Lauren smiles down at her. "You're welcome."
