after all this time?

It's always about you

Lauren's POV

It was hot outside. The sun was coming through the window, lightning up the whole room. Camila and I were at my bed, her head lying on my lap while my finger was going up and down her face.

- I love being with you - she said, turning her head so she could look at me. - I really do

- Me too, cariño

- But sometimes... it scares me a little

- What you mean?

She took a deep breath before answering.

- I'm scared this is a dream that's gonna end. I can't believe I fell in love with you after everything we've been through, and sometimes it feels too good. So I'm scared that some shit is going to happen to separate us

- Camz, this is not a dream. Look

I put her hand on my face, staring at her eyes.

- See? I'm here, cariño, and I won't go anywhere

- You promise?

- Yes, I promise

Camila got up and came closer to me, leaning her body to give me a kiss. Her phone rang and she ignored it until it stopped, but then it started again. She was mad.

- I'll be right back

- Okay

Camila ran to the living room to find her phone and I stayed on the bed.

- What? - I could hear when she picked it up, angry. - Yeah, I remember. Thank you, bye

I listened to her footsteps all over the corridor until she got in.

- Everything okay? - I asked.

- Yeah, my manager called to remind me that my first single from the album is coming out tomorrow

- Really??? Oh my god, can't believe I'm finally gonna listen to a new song

She walked to the window to get some sunlight. She looks even prettier with the sun kissing her skin.

- Yes, let's see what you think

...

- Camz you're late!

We are going to a restaurant but Camila is talking too long. We have a reservation at 9 p.m but she don't get off the bedroom.

- I'm done

She walked through the corridor and I turned around to see her, and that's when my heart stopped. She was wearing a beautiful red dress, her eyes were even darker with her black makeup and her hair was falling on her shoulders.

- Oh my god

She smiled and walked to me, giving me a fast kiss so she wouldn't mess her lipstick.

- You look amazing - I said, still in shock.

- And you look gorgeous as always

I was wearing a black suit with my hair tied up.

- Thank you, my love. Now can we go? - I asked, even though we are getting there late anyway.

- Yes, you're late Lauren, come on

She walked to the door and I stand where I was for a minute, laughing at her audacity.

- You're driving - she said after opening the door.

I picked up the keys, turned down the lights and left, making sure to lock the door.
