Empire

Chapter 35

Camila woke to the burning beam of sun shining in through the window, her sleepy eyes prizing themselves open with a grumpy grunt unamused her wife had already gotten up and into the office to finish some important work before their big day tomorrow

She lift her body delicately from under the heavy duvets scratching at the back of her head before hearing the loud rumbling voices of her two best friends just downstairs obviously cooking up a storm in the kitchen, Her legs shuffle to the edge of the bed hanging just over onto the floor before noticing a half ripped page sat neatly beside a glass of water on the night stand, it was a page from Lauren's diary dated way back when they were only 'fooling around' it had obviously been left there on purpose given the randomness

She reach her slender fingertips out for the scrap before intently reading the sweet cursive handwriting upon the page

She's so beautiful, like the sunset after a hard week that seems so endless it could kill you, like a sip from an ice cold drink on a hot day that just never wants to cool down.. I can't help but think maybe she thinks the same, maybe she doesn't...

If she did my heart would be full, content, happy... I just wish I could tell her that in person but I can't .. one day maybe?

If we're speaking one days I may as well write that one day I'd love to call her my wife... is that dumb? I've only known her for a few weeks now but that would be... wow

One day I'll tell her that I love her, tell her that she's my world my life.. tell her that she completes all of my unfinished sentences and half written stories... I try always not to get too ahead of myself but I love thinking about one days...

I'll say it here because I can't say it to her face but... I LOVE YOU CAMILA CABELLO

Camila hadn't noticed the wildly grinning beam that had graciously sank across her face, the sweet words written back when Lauren had been facing the darkest moments of her life not knowing how to love or even how to show it... this piece of paper just shows that she did... she just didn't know it!

She place the paper down laughing contently to herself before taking a sip from the cold water Lauren always left for her in the mornings, her eyes finally free from the morning burn as she stood walking over to the mirror looking on at herself with pride and motivation, she'd never felt like that before.. her whole teenage life she'd avoid looking just to hide the fact she was super self conscious and almost ashamed of herself in the things that she did but now... now she was self assured and confident in herself all because of Lauren and the way that she touched her, kissed her.. caressed her

"MAMA? YOU WANT COFFEE?"

Sam yell from the bottom of the long stare case in which Camila quickly reply yes with a powering tone, she shuffle around grabbing for a sweater hung neatly in the closet pulling it over her sleepy shoulders before heading out of the door and down into the kitchen taking hold of the hot coffee sat waiting for her on the side

"You look tired mama!"

Sam spoke smiling with a cheeky grin as he lean his half naked body against the counter looking on as she took a small sip from the dark brew

"I'm not surprised.. those doors are only sound proof when you close them mija!"

Zach interjected eliciting a sassy eye roll from the girl who unashamedly lavish in the memory of last nights passionate embrace

"You know this is my house now too I can easily kick your asses out!"

She giggled wrapping her palms around the warm mug as she lent into the island yawning intensely, Zach did the same as he sat up stretching out his back before Sam lift himself to sit on the counter top
