A Cinderella story (camren)

Chapter 9

I heard gasps all through the room and when I raised my head to look at Lauren she was no longer there. I instantly frowned and felt tears spring to my eyes. I knew this would happen. I knew if make a fool out of myself by doing this. I looked down at Dinah and Ally and they look almost as devastated as me. I picked up my guitar and my mask and turned to walk of stage when I heard loud footsteps running from back stage and my name being called.
"CAMILA!" I heard repeatedly. But it wasn't my annoying step mothers voice telling me I had more work to do,no, it was Lauren's raspy voice. She came into view running at full speed and I quickly put down my guitar as she leapt into the air. I caught her and her legs went around my waist my hand on her thighs holding her up. She placed her hands on my cheeks and next thing I knew our lips where together in a slow passionate kiss. It was still such an innocent kiss but it had so much depth to it. She pulled away slightly as the room burst into cheers and breathlessly said.
"I had an idea it was you and I wanted nothing more then for it to be you." She said and kissed me again softly. "Please be my girlfriend or go on a date with me. I need you Camila." She said desperation in her eyes.
"I'd love to." I replied breathless from the kiss and a smile erupted on both of our faces. She hoped down and took ahold of my hand grabbing my guitar we made our way off the stage.
"Thanks for singing the song for me babe." Lauren said and my stomach started doing flips at hearing her say babe to me.
"It was no problem. In all honesty I was just trying to force myself into telling you who I was." I said a slight blush coming onto my cheeks. "Do you..um.. Do you want to come over?" I asked stuttering a bit. "I mean my step mum and step sisters will be out shopping until late so you don't need to worry. I understand if you don't want to .." I was interrupted by her lips on mine.
"I'd love to." She said on my lips before pulling away gently.

We made it back to my house and I took her up to my little room. She looked around at it with interest evident on her face. She walked over to my bookshelf and gently grabbed out a book my dad once gave me.
"What's this?" She asked showing me the cover of the book.
"My dad gave it to me before he passed away. It's a book he'd been writing with me." I said smiling at the memory.
"Do you mind if I take a look?" She asked nervously.
"Not at all. I haven't opened it since my dad died so I don't really remember what the story is." I said as she took a seat next to me on my tiny bed. She opened it up to the front page and got confused when a piece of paper fell out. She bent down and picked up the paper.
"It's addressed to you from your dad." She said. I moved slightly closer to her her and took it gently from her hands.
"He must have out it in there before he died." I said opening it and almost dropping it when I realized what it is. "Omg." I said in shock.
Lauren moved closer to me. "What, what is it?" She asked concerned and looked over my shoulder. "Omg." She said her face turning to look at me. "You own everything Camz. The house, the cars, the diner, everything." She said standing up. "I'll call my lawyer and we'll show him and discuss what to do." She said and I just nodded. I could finally be free of my little room with a tiny bed. Free of the constant work even though I shouldn't be working that much. I finally had a good car. Free of my step mother and step sisters. I was finally able to breathe.
