Think Again (Camren)

Camila's POV

I pressed a cool cloth to Kyla's forehead as she leaned against my headboard. She looked pale and had been dry heaving ever since we pulled up to my house. "Between morning sickness and this sickening feeling, I feel like I'm going to die, Mila." Kyla scrunched her face up and I frowned in concern.

"Hang in there, we'll figure this out," I whispered and pressed a kiss to her forehead as she crawled under my covers. I noticed how fast she fell asleep and quietly put a bucket to the bed side and made my way out.

"How is she?" Austin asked nervously, biting his thumbnail. "Is she okay?"

"You can go in if you want," I nodded towards my bedroom door, "she's finally sleeping but I'm sure it'll mean a lot when she woke up and saw you."

Austin nodded and stuffed his hands in his pockets. I could tell the guy was just as nervous and scared as Kyla was, but I had to give the guy credit, he really was trying with her. "Thank you Camila," he gave me a soft smile and slipped in my bedroom, closing the door behind him gently.

I wiped my face with my hands and let out a frustrated groan. I noticed emerald eyes peeking at me through Sofi's bedroom and I had to smile. "How long have you been there?"

"A few seconds," Lauren smiled and made her way towards me, "are you okay?"

I shook my head but smiled. "Everything's just coming at everyone all at once."

"Talk about a wild ride, right?" Lauren wrapped her arms around me from behind, pressing her lips to the side of my neck, making me sigh as I closed my eyes. "I'm not going to run, Cabello," she whispered in my ear affectionately.

I shuddered and smiled at the feel of her pressed into my back, at the sound of her words. "Did you want to go out tonight again?" I asked her, my eyes closed, savouring the quiet moment.

"You know I'd go anywhere with you," Lauren smiled as she spun me around slowly, wrapping her arms around my neck, pressing her forehead to mine while we swayed lightly in the middle of the upstairs hallway, "where would you like to go?"

I put on my 'thinky' face and it caused Lauren to giggle, pressing her face into my neck. "Why not go bowling?"

"Bowling?" Lauren raised an eyebrow but smiled. "Okay, let's go bowling!" Sometimes she was just so damn cute that all I wanted to do was grab her and kiss her.

So I did.

I cupped her face in my hands and pressed my lips gently to hers, eliciting a small moan from her. My mouth recaptured her bottom lip, drawing it in between my own as she sank back against the wall, causing my body to press into hers. I sighed and tilted my head, drinking her in deeper. Her fingers pulled at my belt loops, pressing herself into me harder as well.

After a few minutes of kissing and feeling a little more than turned on, Lauren pulled back, breathing heavily. Her dark eyes penetrated into mine as she brought her thumb up to trace my swollen lips. "I love you, Camz."

I couldn't help but blush at the sincerity of her words. Instead of answering her, I pulled her mouth back to mine, sinking deeper into her. Have I mentioned how much I love kissing Lauren?

"Oh girls!" My mom sang as she approached us from the stairs. I guess the fact that we were caught in a rather, heated embrace, didn't seem to faze her as she smiled. "Alejandro is making his famous spaghetti and meatballs tonight, are you staying Lauren?"

Lauren backed away from me and swallowed. "Oh uh, I don't know Mrs. Cab-"

"Sinu," my mom correct and smiled softly, "and I get that you're a little uncomfortable around me but you really don't need to be. So, please, stay for dinner," she peeked her head in Sofi's room and invited Sammy to stay for dinner as well, "it's about time Alejandro and I get to know our daughters' best friends, as girlfriends." She winked and swatted my butt with a tea towel.
