after all this time?

now everybody knows

Camila's POV

After Lauren posted that photo everybody was talking about it. Her idea worked, nobody remembers Shawn anymore.

- You should move here - Lauren said after I got out of the shower wearing a t-shirt of hers again. - at least for some time, I don't know...

- I'll think about it - I answered sitting by her side on the bed.

- You said that last time I asked

- I know, I'm still thinking...

To end the conversation I put my lips on hers, starting a slow kiss. I'll never get used to this.

- I'll wear my pajamas - she said and got up, then took off her clothes in front of me. She knows how to provoke me.

- I like that tattoo. - I asked, pointing at her waist, close to her panties, where I could read the world ANGEL.

- Thanks

- But you're no angel, tho

She laughed while wearing her pajamas, then came back to bed. I decided to check on all her tattoos so I put my finger on her 6-6-18 on her arm.

- And this one?

- Date of my first solo show. It was in Sao Paulo, Brazil and it was crazy... I never felt something like that before

- It's weird on the beginning, isn't it? To be alone at the stage - I asked, looking at her.

- Yeah, definitely

I lowered my hand a little more, reaching up to her wrist where a bee rests.

- What about that one?

- It's from Rupi Kaur's book, "milk and honey"

- Oh my god I love that book!!!!!

She smiled to me.

- It's amazing

The next one was Angelica, which I know it's to her grandma, so I searched on her other arm.

- This one I know.... it's 27, your lucky number and our first performance

- Yeah, you're right. Then there's this one - she pointed to a rose on her forearm - but it's just a rose, and on my back there's the dragon-fly but you've seen it and a phrase. Oh and I have one on my leg but I always forget about it

She looked for it and showed me. It was a small mermaid close to her foot.

- It's beautiful

- It's about my connection to the sea. But you only saw that after all this time???? I mean... you've seen me naked

I felt a little embarrassed...

- Well, I think I was too busy to notice

She laughed making me laugh too.

- What about you?

- I only have this one, but it's so old it's getting a little blurry

I showed her my finger with "it's a mystery..." on it, then explained it.

- It's from Shakespeare. On this scene the character says that, weirdly, everything always end up fine, and someone asks him how he knows that, and so he answers "I don't know. It's a mystery"

- So you're saying to yourself that somehow things will work out just fine? - she asked, paying attention

- Yes. I don't know how, it's a mystery, but I trust it will.
