"Look me in the eyes..

Dinah paused.

..and tell me how you feel about me."

Jade was shocked. She didn't expect Dinah to ask her this direct, in front of everybody.

"I..I..

Jade bit her lip before turning around and left the office.

Dinah sit at her desk and pretended to be busy with nothing. She's hurt by Jade's rejection and denial.

"Dinah, are you okay?" Camila asked her cousin as she gently rubbed her back.

Dinah forced a smile and looked up, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Camila smiled back at her, but deep down she knew how much Dinah is hurting. Her cousin has always acted strong and tough on the outside, but she's crying inside.

"Honey, let's go on a date."

Camila raised an eyebrow at her girlfriend.

"Date? Since when are you that free? You're always busy, even on weekends."

Lauren smiled, "I'm free this weekend."

"Yeah right, you already cancelled two movie dates with me." Camila pouted.

"I promise I won't cancel it this time."

Camila rolled her eyes.

"I'm all yours to use this Sunday." Lauren said as she makes a puppy expression.

Camila chuckled, it's way too cute to resist, "Promise?"

**

Lauren and Camila are sitting on a park bench. They had just finished watching the movie.

"I want to stay like this forever." Lauren said, she had her head on Camila's shoulder.

Camila played with Lauren's hand on her lap.

"Laur, did you remember the day you saved me?"

"Of course. It's the first time I undress.."

Lauren paused, her cheeks hot, "Never mind." She slowly closes her eyes.

Camila laughed, "Is that all you remember?!"

"No! I remember everything."

"Remember what I said to you about my parents?"

Lauren slowly opened her eyes. "Yes."

"Would you like to know the whole story?"

Lauren turned to look at Camila, she gently caressed her cheek.

"Tell me only when you're ready."

Camila sighed and looked to the sky, "It was just another day."

"Dad was at work that day. Me and mommy were arguing again."

Lauren reached for Camila's hand and holds it tight.

"I've always wanted to be a singer. But my parents were against it."

"I had this great offer to join an entertainment company in LA and I really wanted to go."

Camila paused.

"But my mom took my passport to prevent me from leaving. I was so angry. I shouldn't though, but I was only 17 that time, just an immature idiot."

Tears started to form in Camila's eyes.
