after all this time?

but when you look at me like that...

Lauren's POV

Cleo jumped on Camila when she came inside and I opened my arms, waiting for her to lay down with me on the couch.

- Hi babe - she said, hugging me. - Liked the interview?

- I loved it! - I said while she tried to find a good position to lay on me.

- You watched it all?

- Yes. You were very brave when you talked about us

She put her face on my neck, so I couldn't see her face, only feel her breathing on my skin.

- Well, turns out it wasn't as hard as I thought. It's always so easy with you

- But you do realize you just came out to the whole world, right?

Camila got her head up and looked at me, surprised.

- Oh my god you're right - she said fast and I laughed - Well, I'm glad everybody knows now. About us, I mean. Officially

- Yeah, me too

Camila took a long breath, she seems tired.

- Anyways, tomorrow is The Late Late Show and then I'll have to go back to NY, okay?

I made my best sad puppy face and won a kiss for it.

- It was so fast! - I said

- I know babe, but we'll see each other on Coachella next week, remember?

- Right! You'll sing there too

- Yes, and then I'll have a week off before they release my album... so if you still want to do that trip, that's the perfect time

Camila was looking at me, she was still wearing makeup so her eyes were shining a little.

- Alright, deal

...

It's day 2 of Coachella. I arrived yesterday with Veronica and Alexa to watch some artists, but today I'm singing. Camila is singing tomorrow but she's coming to see my show.

- Beautiful - I told the makeup artist - that's exactly what I wanted, something natural and clean

Before she could answer I saw through the mirror Camila walking inside the room, so I got up and ran to hug her.

- Finally!

She held my face and gave me a kiss.

- I missed you, Lo

- Missed you too, babe

- Now I need some water, it's hot like hell outside

She grabbed a bottle and found a place to sit.

- Lauren, 10 minutes - Tatiana, my manager, told me.

- Okay

As always happens when I'm about to get into the stage, all the crew members left the room so I can concentrate.

- Come here - Camila said with her arms open, so I sat on her lap. - How was it yesterday?

- Amazing! The best performance was Lady Gaga's

- What about The Weeknd? I wish I could've seen it

- It was nice, I think I was too drunk already so I can't really say

Camila laughed, making my heart beat faster.

- Where are your friends?

- Enjoying some of the shows, I guess.
