Chapter 41

A/N: Ok, so please don't hate me for taking so long to update. I'm so sorry, my week just kind of got away from me. I love you guys. Thank you for reading. Smile x

"So..." Camila said, approaching Lauren from behind and wrapping her arms around her girlfriend's waist as she stood washing up the dishes from breakfast at the kitchen sink; Normani, Ally and Dinah having left a half hour before in order to catch up with their families and respective other halves, Lauren dropping large hints for them to leave at every available chance. "We're finally alone now," Camila reminded her girlfriend breathily, her mouth pressed close to Lauren's ear, her chin resting against the taller girls' neck. "What exactly are we going to do with this invaluable opportunity?" she asked suggestively, raising her eyebrow despite the fact that Lauren couldn't appreciate the gesture. "You're going to go and get your stuff from upstairs," Lauren told her seriously, continuing to scrub clean one of the plates in the sink. "Ok," Camila said, squeezing Lauren's waist more firmly, hugging her closer, "and you'll be joining me up there when exactly?" she asked, not even pretending to play coy. Lauren laughed and turned around in

Camila's arms so that her back was leaning against the sink behind her. "I'm not," Lauren informed her, reaching up her right hand which was still covered in suds from the washing up liquid and depositing them on the tip of Camila's nose with her fingertip. "I'm going to finish washing up and then I'm taking you out remember?" "Why go out when we could stay in?" Camila asked her, a mischievous grin on her face as she wiped the suds off her nose with the back of her hand. "It might be a while before we get to be alone together again." She noted. "We should make the most of it." "You have developed a one track mind since you got out of hospital," Lauren commented amused, dipping her hand back into the sink behind her quickly and transferring another handful of suds on to Camila's cheek playfully. "I have a one track mind?" Camila asked laughing, wiping at her face again with the sleeve of her sweater. "Why were you in such a rush to drive the others away if you just wanted to take me out?" "I didn't drive them out," Lauren protested halfheartedly, knowing deep down that she had. "No of course you didn't," Camila responded, still laughing at the recollection. "All those hints that you kept dropping were just a friendly reminder that it was getting late and informing them of the time." "I was being helpful," Lauren smiled widely. "You were being obvious," Camila told her chuckling in response to the pleased expression on her girlfriends face. "Well, I wanted them all to leave," Lauren shared with her honestly, shrugging as she spoke. "I want to spend the rest of the day with

you and only you. Is that so wrong?" she asked. "No," Camila replied shaking her head gently from side to side. "It's not wrong," she said, her hands slipping down to rest on Lauren's buttocks as she stepped forwards and pressed their hips together further. "It's the complete opposite of wrong." She continued teasingly as she moved her lips towards Lauren's slowly, inch by inch. Lauren held her breath for a moment, desperate for Camila to connect their mouths together, desperate to feel her girlfriend's soft flesh pressed up against her own. "This isn't fair," Lauren uttered quietly, her eyes watching Camila's lips intently when they came no further closer. She swallowed hard as one of Camila's hands' groped her hip and moved around to the front of her denim jeans, toying with the button there roguishly. "It's fun though," Camila replied smiling, her breath hot against Lauren's skin. "When did you become such a tease?" Lauren asked her and Camila grinned in response. "What makes you think I'm teasing you?" Camila asked her voice low and raspy, her tone unexpectedly evocative. Lauren smiled and leant forward in an attempt to bring their lips together, laughing softly as Camila moved her head back a little, just out of reach. "That does," Lauren answered her knowingly. "I have to admit that you're surprisingly good at it though Camz," She praised. "Everyone thinks that you're so sweet and innocent. If they only knew..." she trailed off thoughtfully, remembering all
