"It's a mixtape," Camila says excitedly. After they woke up from their nap the first thing Camila wanted to do was open her present from Lauren.

"Yeah, all of the songs on it remind me of you," Lauren responds lovingly caressing the girl's hand that is in her own.

"Can we listen to it now," Camila ask, basically jumping up and down in ecstasy. Lauren nods her head, laughing at the puppy like girl in front of her. Camila quickly puts the mixtape into the recorder that she conveniently has in her room. The first song to come on was 'Cold Coffee' by Ed Sheeran. Camila immediately smiles as she hears the voice of her favorite singer.

She's like cold coffee in the morning
I'm drunk off last nights whisky and coke
She'll make me shiver without warning
And make me laugh as if I'm in on the joke
And you can stay with me forever
Or you could stay with me for now

Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to

I'll wake with coffee in the morning
But she prefers two lumps of sugar and tea
Outside the day is up and calling
But I don't have to be so, please go back to sleep
Stay with me forever
Or you could stay with me for now

Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to
'Cause I love the way you wake me up
For goodness sake will my love not be enough?

Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to

Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight

"I love that song so much," Camila exclaims as the song come the an end.

"I picked that song because I want to be enough for you. I always want to be enough for you because you always will be enough for me. I want to wake up next to you every morning some day like I already love doing. I'm in love with you, Camila and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon," Lauren says passionately, wanting Camila to understand why she picked the songs she did.

Camila leans in and smashes her lips against Lauren's clumsily, still not getting the whole kissing thing down very well. But Lauren loves that about her.

"Thank you, can we listen to the next one," Camila ask shyly.

"I wrote all the meanings down on paper, it's in the box also. That way when I'm not here and you listen to the rest you'll know the meanings. But one more and then I have to go baby, its family night tonight," Lauren tells her girlfriend, kissing her forehead softly before pressing play. The next song invades their ears as they start a staring contest.

Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky
Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die
And I've been looking at the stars for a long, long time
I've been putting out fires all my life
Everybody wants a flame, but they don't want to get burnt
And today is our turn

Days like these lead to
Nights like this leads to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us we don't
need that much just someone that starts
starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
