Think Again (Camren)

A Whisper Can Change Everything

Lauren's PoV

"God Lo," Camila smiled as she pressed her forehead against the glass of our hotel bedroom, "this view is amazing."

I looked at her and smiled lovingly, "my view is pretty perfect too."

Outside the hotel window was pretty amazing though. Even though the lake was still sporting some ice patches, the view was simply breathtaking. Lake of the Woods was definitely the highlight of the town we were staying at. A town surrounded by water and gorgeous scenery.

Camila was still my perfect and favourite person to view.

Camila looked at me and rolled her eyes before making her way towards me on the bed. She straddled my lap and pressed her lips against mine in a soft solid kiss. "I could kiss you forever."

I pulled back and smiled, tracing her lips while drowning myself in the sea of blue before me. "You could, eh?"

Camila nodded and pulled in for another kiss, only that one last longer and was more passionate. Her tongue licked my bottom lip before I tilted my head and allowed for deeper access.

Just when things were about to get interesting, the phone rang and I leaned back to reach it. "This better be an emergency," I scowled into the receiver as Camila poked my side.

"Are you having sex again?" Sofi laughed on the other end.

"Oh it's you," I rolled my eyes playfully and chuckled, "what's up?"

"I miss you guys, when are you coming home?" I could hear her pout.

"We'll be home by next weekend," I smiled and bit my lip as Camila started to kiss my neck. I covered the phone and whispered, "stop, it's Sofi."

Camila shrugged and continued to lavish my neck with kisses.

"Okay well, hurry home. I have big news to tell you and Camila and I don't want to do it over the phone."

"Sofi, it's not like we don't know you've had sex already." I laughed and the words that came out of my mouth caused Camila to growl and push herself off of me.

"Why does everything have to be about sex with you?" Sofi scoffed and things became quiet for a second. "Just hurry home and be safe, kay? Mom would never forgive you if you crash your car," she paused, "and Camila's injuries might worry her as well."

"Be nice to her," I looked over at my girlfriend, who stripped out of her hockey jersey and into a more fitting sweater, "she's hot."

"Yea yea, call you later." Sofi sent her love to us and quickly cut the call short.

Probably in fear that we'd leave her hanging for a second time to get lost in another make out session.

I leaned back on my elbows and watched Camila brush her brunette hair. The silkiness of it was so smooth when between my fingers. She looked at herself through the mirror and caught my gaze through the reflection. "What?"

I jumped up and took the brush away from her hand before lowering my lips to the side of her neck, kissing the warm flesh softly. "Let's go out for a bit."

Camila turned around and smiled, wrapping her arms around my neck. "Yea?"

I nodded. "Kenora's not a big place; we can explore this place on foot. I noticed when we were driving down Main Street there was a little walkway down by the Harbourfront. Let's go check it out."

Camila looked out the window again, I followed her gaze as the sun started to set along the horizon of the lake. She smiled and nodded, "let's go."

Camila's PoV

The sun was nowhere in sight but it was still pretty early. I loved doing this back home, walking to the pond when the weather is warm but still cold enough so make the small snow piles stay where they are along the streets.

I found this place oddly comforting to me. It was peaceful and reminded me of back home. Meeting Chase, Ephiny and their daughter Jaiden really made us see that this town was just as accepting as mine. The people were friendly and I found that hockey was their biggest pride and joy during the winter.

Lauren's hand held mine as we reached the waterfront of the Harbourfront. Ice was still on the edges of the lake but I could tell it was really thin. The lamp posts above us were lit and it was only us two walking along the boardwalk. I caught her looking at me a couple of times and then looked away quickly when I captured her gaze. "Is everything okay?" I swung our hands between us and smiled at her.

Lauren blushed and nodded. "You just look really beautiful with your hair half up and half down like that."

I smiled and bumped her with my hip. "Thank you."

"And you know, you're always beautiful to me, Camz." She finished rather quietly.

"Again," I chuckled softly, "thank you."

We walked off the walkway and found ourselves going up a set of wooden stairs. We stood on top the Thistles Pavilion and looked out at the darkened lake.

"Dance with me, Camila." Lauren grinned and took my hand, twirling me around once before drawing my body close to her. I placed my arms around her neck as she cupped my hips gently, resting her forehead against mine. "You are so gorgeous."

I blushed. The evening put me in mind of the night I took her to the pond after Austin found out about us. I wanted to show her how exactly how I felt about her and I hoped that I showered her with affections and compliments that night – much like she was doing to me at that moment.

"I could kiss you forever too, you know." Her lips pressed against mine gently, her hands sliding up my back as we swayed in a small circle with nothing but the vehicles that could be heard or the sound of the soft breeze that came off the lake. "I am so in love with you." We stopped swaying as I answered her with a heart stopping kiss, pressing her against a bench slightly.

I was in love with her too.

We parted and I grinned as I turned around to enjoy the town's spectacular sight with the person I was in love with.

My hands gripped the railing and I felt Lauren come up behind me, resting her chin on my shoulder and her hands slipped around my waist.

"Thank you," she whispered and with the sound of her voice, I knew I shouldn't interrupt her, "for everything Camz. You may not ever really realize exactly what you've done for me these last five months; making me feel alive and more loved than I ever have before." The sound of her voice was so quiet and vulnerable. I wanted to turn around and look at her but she kept me in my place. "I can close my eyes and try to think of life without you but then I get this pain in my chest that I really don't like," she pulled me tighter against her, "you're it for me, you're the one," she pressed her lips against my neck again before her lips bumped against my ear, a low raspy whisper escaped her, "will you marry me, Camila Cabello?"

The darkness of the lake consumed me but not in a bad way. My breath hitched and was caught in my throat as the six worded question fell from her gorgeous voice.

Will you marry me, Camila Cabello?
