Feels Like New

Prologue

Lauren closes her front door and her little French bulldog, Cleo, pounces towards her. Lauren puts her backpack down and picks Cleo up.

"Hi, baby!" She coos the little French puppy.

Cleo happily barks at her and licks her face. She sees a fast big blurry black ball of fur run past her.

"Thunder!" Camila yells after the dog.

Lauren laughs and puts Cleo down. "He's giving you a hard time again?" Lauren speaks up.

"He doesn't let me wash him off," Camila pouts. Camila walks over and plants a soft kiss on Lauren's lips. "Hi, baby!" She chirps.

Lauren kisses her back and smiles. "Here I'll help you," Lauren moves to the big dog. "Thunder!" Lauren whistles.

The big fur of sunshine runs over and jumps on Lauren. Lauren takes him by his paws and scratches his fur.

"Who's a good boy?" Lauren coos.

Thunder barks happily, wiggling his tail. Lauren grabs a dog treat for him and Thunder eats it off her hand. Lauren picks up the big dog and carries him to the bathtub. She sets him down in the tub and Camila comes over.

She runs the shower head over him, washing off the leftover shampoo. Once he's all cleaned off Lauren holds him so he doesn't escape while Camila grabs the towel.

Camila dries Thunder off with the towel and he jumps out of the tub once all dried. Thunder dashes out of the restroom making the pair laugh.

"I bathed Cleo for you," Camila smiles, "Much more behaved."

"She is," Lauren smiles. Lauren wraps an arm around Camila's shoulder and kisses her on the forehead.

The pair walks out of the restroom to see Thunder and Cleo playing. Thunder is very aware of his strength and size so he's being very gentle with Cleo when playing with his paw.

The couple smiles at their two babies and the doorbell goes off. Lauren walks to the door and opens it.

She smiles at the three girls and steps aside to let them in. When Lauren got Thunder for Camila on her birthday she knew she had to get a house instead of an apartment because the dog was gonna get bigger.

Lauren left her apartment to the girls and moved into this modern house with her two dogs and girlfriend. Dinah kneels down and Thunder immediately jumps on her.

Lauren picks Cleo up and hands her to Ally knowing the short girl loves Cleo. Normani helps her girlfriend with Thunder and both play around with him. Ally sits down on the couch, cuddling Cleo in her arms.

Lauren and Camila sit across from her, cuddling in each other arms.  Obviously, Camila finally recovered from her injury and her life is like brand new. Her life is the same as it has always been but to her, it feels like new.

"So how're these two angels treating you two?" Ally asks when Thunder jumps on the couch and lays down next to Ally. The short girl scratches behind his ear knowing the dog loves it.

Norminah comes over and sits down on the love seat.

"Honestly they are the greatest kids ever," Lauren smiles.

Thunder howls and Cleo barks happily. Lauren whistles and Thunder jumps off the couch and sits down in front of Lauren. Lauren pets him smiling down as he wiggles his tail.

"Well we came here to say hi and how everything is going but it's getting late," Dinah stands up helping Mani.

"See you guys," Lauren waves at the girls.

Ally hands Cleo over to Camila and they leave the couple alone with their children.

"They are right it's getting pretty late," Lauren smiles.

"Then let's get ready for bed," Camila smiles dazzlingly at her girlfriend.

Lauren and Camila go upstairs, the two dogs right behind them. Once both girls are done getting ready for bed thy exit the restroom and see Cleo rolling back and forth with Thunder on the bed. Camila giggles and goes downstairs for a glass of water.

Lauren whistles and Thunder bounces off the bed. Lauren walks over and gently sets Cleo down on the floor. Both dogs lay down on the large dog bed, Cleo cuddling up against Thunder's big, warm body.

Camila comes back up after drinking a glass of water from downstairs and smiles at the two cuddling dogs.

"They are so adorable," Camila smiles.

"Like their mother," Lauren kisses Camila on the forehead.

Camila wraps her arms around Lauren's torso, hugging the older girl close. Lauren picks her up with her strong arms and lays them down on the bed.

Lauren kisses down Camila's neck making the younger girl let out a satisfied moan. Lauren lifts the girl's shirt up, exposing her fairly fit abdomen.

Camila whimpers when Lauren trails her wet lips up her stomach and towards her breast. The green-eyed girl takes the brunette's shirt off and smiles at the familiar territory that she owns.

Camila cups Lauren's face which makes her sit up. Camila plants a lingering, loving kiss on Lauren's lips and pulls her down. Lauren pulls away and cuddles up against the shirtless brunette.

"I love you," Lauren whispers, caressing her side.

"I love you too," Camila smiles.

Thunder howls from his dog bed as if he's saying he loves them as well. Camila and Lauren laugh together and fall asleep in each other's warm, comfortable arms.
