"Can we sit down for a moment?" Camila suggested seeing
Lauren still exhausted. "You run almost seven blocks in a few minutes."

Lauren nodded and was surprised when Camila gently took her hand as they made their way to one of the benches around the park. Lauren caught Camila's profile as she helped her sit up. She had put on a little makeup and she looked really gorgeous. Lauren saw how she had fixed her hair and to her surprise she felt really embarrassed.

"I can bring you a bottle of water if you want." Lauren shook her head, looking into her eyes.

"My personal trainer is useless." Lauren took a deep breath.
"She always tells me I'm in good shape."

"I think he's done a good job with you," Camila said softly and Lauren's eyes connected with hers in surprise. Camila blushed when she understood what she had said. Lauren slid her eyes down Camila's figure slowly and her eyes connected with hers.

"You're not wearing your snapback, rags," Lauren said softly, looking deep into Camila's brown eyes.

Camila felt her heart beat desperately. She's with Lauren. She's having her one-on-one time with Lauren and she's being a complete idiot. She sat down next to her trying to breathe.

"I dressed for you," Camila said, lowering her gaze for a moment, embarrassed after her words. "I didn't want to embarrass you with my clothes. I know you dress well and..." Lauren interrupted her.

"I think this time is different." Both women looked into each other's eyes. "This time I think you look amazing and I completely clashed with you."

"That's not true," Camila said, shaking her head quickly.
"You look great in whatever."

"I don't think today is one of my best days." Lauren looked into her eyes and sighed. "I practically come with my pajamas" she said taking her shirt to show it to Camila who smiled. "Although Nirvana was a very good group."

"I agree with that," she smiled. "I'm glad you could make it,"
Camila whispered, still feeling the pang of pain at the thought that Lauren was going to stood her up.

"Did you wait a long time?" Camila nodded, remembering that she had waited almost two hours, and Lauren lowered her gaze. "I apologize again."

"Okay, I'm glad I waited," Camila said, looking into her eyes tenderly. "I guess we won't be able to enter the park anymore."

"I guess not" Lauren got up from the bench and fixed her hair, moving it to one side while Camila limited herself to observing her with eyes full of admiration at her beauty. Lauren Jauregui was beautiful. "What do we do then rags?
Although I can't really call you rags because you don't have your snapback."

"I feel strange without it," Camila accepted, blushing a little.

"I really like the way you look with it" Lauren stared at her making Camila's face blush even more. "I guess without it, I can't tell you rags."

"Actually, I'm starting to like how you sound when you say it in a polite and tender way," Camila whispered, standing up and looking at Lauren tenderly, who looked into her eyes fixedly, thinking that the adjective "tenderness" was not exactly something in it. "Are you hungry?" Camila asked looking into those beautiful green eyes. "We could buy a pizza."

"I guess it's up to me because I'm the one who's late and ruined our trip to the park," Lauren sighed. "It's actually a beautiful place and I'm sure you would have enjoyed it a lot."
