A/N: Sorry it took a little bit long to post this chapter 3, it caused I wanted to finish chapter 4 before I post the 3rd chapter. I haven't finished chapter 4, but it's half way already. Hopefully I can finish it soon and post it soon. Hope you guys like it :)

"And that's how it works, that's how you get the girl, girl, oh. And that's how it works, that's how you get the girl, girl." Camila's humming while swirling her body in front of the mirror.

"Woo, somebody got herself a date." Normani, Camila's roommate, walked past her while playing Camila's hair.

"Heyy, I've done it well."

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry." Normani's laughing.

Camila was standing in front of a long mirror in their living room. She's wearing a red mini ruffle dress. She liked this dress, because it had frill detail to her shoulder straps and bodice but not too much. It's casual but it's not. Camila hoped she could impress Lauren.

Normani's pulling a chair and grabbed an apple.

"So, who is she?"

"I can't tell you now, I'm gonna be late." Camila went back to her room.

"Oh, come on. I saw you on Friday night and no story, but right now you're on a date?" Normani's munching her apple. "At least, tell me her name."

Camila came out and carrying her purse. "Fine. Her name is Lauren. She's like the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen."

"Cool. Where did you guys meet?"

"No time, Normani." Camila's taking her car key. "Gotta go."

"Aaw. Have fun! Will I see you tonight or tomorrow?"

"Normani!" Camila threw a hat toward her.

Normani's laughing out loud.

Before closing the door, Camila took a peek and said, "I hope I'll see you tomorrow." She winked and left.

She still could hear Normani's yelling, "Woohoo. Go get her, girl!"

Camila's chuckling and rushed to her car. It's 6.30pm and she still needed to stop at the florist.

Thankfully the florist was just about the corner of her house. She bought some of white roses. She thought white rose was about new beginning and she really hoped this was a new beginning for her and Lauren. So weird, she have never bought flowers for any girls before. But Lauren was not just any girls.

Camila smiled to the thought.

It took only 1o minutes to get Lauren's house.

"Darn, I don't know why I feel so nervous." Camila mumbled.

After took a long breath and exhaled it, she got out the car. She didn't forget to take the flowers, of course. She embraced herself and knocked the door.

In two times knocked, the door flung open.

There she was. Looking so beautiful. Camila couldn't help but gawking.

Lauren wore a black playsuit with star printed. She really was a geek, Camila thought. And that V-wrap neckline made Lauren looked so hot. Camila literally open-mouthed staring.

Lauren gulped. She's mirroring Camila's expression. For about couple of seconds neither of them were speaking.

"Hey." Lauren broke the silence. "You look... Wow."

Camila, who's finally back on the earth, got fluster. Guess she succeeded for impressing Lauren. She managed to reply, "and you look hot."

Lauren blushed so hard.

Camila handed Lauren the flowers. "It's for you." She said shyly.

Lauren gasped. "Aw, you're so sweet. Thank you." She smelled the roses. "Come in. I'm gonna put it in the vase."

Camila followed Lauren into the house. Lauren lived in a nice house. It's small and simple, fitted for students.

Suddenly Lauren's phone chimed. "Sorry." She read the text, typed a reply and put it back into her purse. "It's Ally."

"So you're alone now?"

Lauren replied from the kitchen. "Yeah. She said she'll be back tomorrow. She's still at her mother's."

Lauren brought the roses to her room. Well, Camila assumed it was her room.

"Do you wanna sit down and have something to drink before we go?" Asked Lauren while she's closing her room.

"No. Let's go."

They were about to go out when Camila stopped.

"Wait."

"What is it?"

Camila closed the distance between both of them and kissed Lauren. Lauren kissed back. Their hands on each other's waists.

Their lips were finally separated for a millimeter inch.

"Hey." Camila said while smiling.

"You said it."

Camila broke her smile, grinning widely. "Come on, we're so gonna be late."

They finally left Lauren's house.

"Where are we going to go?" Lauren asked.

"A place."

"So secretly." Lauren chuckled.

Camila smiled. She was so happy. She hadn't has this feeling for a long time. She glanced at Lauren, who was also smiling. Gosh, she looked so beautiful, Camila thought.

As if their routine, every time there were songs they knew, they would sing in unison. They would chat about anything and everything.

After 20 minutes drove, they finally arrived in a quite nice restaurant.

"Good evening, ladies." The host greeted them. "Have you made reservation?"

"Yeah, it's in Camila." Camila replied with smiled.

The girl hesitated. "Mm, you're actually a little bit late, Miss. I'm afraid you must wait."

Camila's expression changed. She was about to say something when a man with a suit came in from inside. "Ah, Ms. Cabello."

"George!" Camila called him.

George shook her hand. "How are you, Miss?" Then he said to the host. "It's alright. I'll take it from here." Then he led Camila and Lauren got in the restaurant.

Lauren raised her eyebrow asking Camila. Camila gave her a smile. They finally on the rooftop.

"Here's your table." After letting them seat, George poured water into their glasses.

"Thanks, George."

"No worries. Your waitress will be here soon." Then George left.

There was an awkward silence between them for a moment. Lauren finally broke it. "Ok, what's happening?"

"Well, I have my reservation."

"Yeah but she said..."

Camila looked like wanted to say something but she held it. The waitress came and they gave her their orders.

Camila's finally letting out the breath that she'd been holding.

"Umm. I once saved the owner of this place from embarrassment." She said whisperly. "I have never talk about it to anybody, but it's you. You're not nobody."

Lauren smiled for the first time since they sat. "Save them how?"

"So one time I worked as waitress in a caterer. There was a big event. It's an important person's birthday, a businessman. It's his 60th birthday." Camilla sipped her water.

She continued. "They had hired a famous singer to entertain them. But you know what? She didn't come."

"What? Why? I mean, for a famous singer to cancel a contract like that, I'm very sure there's a penalty that she has to pay."

Camila grinned. "Look at you, your lawyer mind are working."

Lauren laughed. "But I am right."

"Yeah, you're right." Camila chuckled. "She cancelled and she paid it. But on the event that day, who's entertaining those upper class middle aged people?"

Lauren knew the answer, but she still asked. "Tell me who?" She smiled playfully.

Camila's rolled her hand in front of her own face and said, "yours truly."

Lauren's laughing out loud. "Nooo."

"Yep." They both were laughing.

The food came and they started to eat.

Lauren couldn't wait to ask. "What's the connection with this restaurant?"

"So, George was the one who hired my caterer. My boss who was convinced him to get me sing. She even said that they don't have to pay the catering if I didn't sing as good."

"Really?" Lauren surprised.

"Yeah. Mrs. Lopez was crazy like that. May she rest in peace." Camila bowed her face.

"Oh I'm sorry."

"It's alright."

"So, I sang that night. Saving the whole event."

"So modest."

Camila laughed. "The businessman, the one who had birthday, owned couples of businesses, of course. And this restaurant is one of his. They paid me a lot for that night, thank you, God. And as complimentary, I can ask for a table here anytime. The best table they have. Anytime." Camila finished her story with a smug.

"Whoa. Well done, Ms. Cabello." Lauren clapped her hand.

Camila grinned and they continued chewing.

"Was the reason you didn't work with Mrs. Lopez's catering anymore because she passed away?"

"No. Her daughter took control the business. She's alright, but different. And they only worked in events, you know? And I need money." Camila's laughing.

"Of course."

"So, yeah I needed a more stable job. Thank God Dinah, my housemate, saw the vacancy pamphlet on Mrs. Duffman's cafe."

"I thank God for that too. Cause then we met." Lauren smiled.

Camila put her hand on top of Lauren's and stroking it gently. "Yeah, that's what I'm grateful the most."

Camila's staring into that green eyes deeply. The eyes that she'd be willing to look for the rest of her life. Wait, what?

Camila's surprised herself that she pretended to cough and retracted her hand from Lauren's.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Camila sipped her drink.

Camila didn't believe what she had just thought. She only met Lauren yesterday, but she had been thinking 'forever'? But to think again, she never had feeling this strong before.

"Camila, are you sure you're ok?" Lauren asked her again.

Camila tried to block of her thoughts.

"I am. I just, I just got lost in your eyes." Camila's seductively saying.

Lauren giggled. "So cheesy, aren't you?"

"It's the truth."

Lauren chuckled. "You are something." She shook her head. "Anyway, I have a question. When you're performed in that birthday party, aren't there any producers that saw you singing and tried to get you? I mean, it's Hollywood."

"Of course. There were like three producers that contacted me after that night. But none of them were the good producer, if you know what I mean."

She's about to continue her story when the waitress came.

"Do you guys want the desert?"

Camila turn her head to look at Lauren. "Do you want a desert?"

Lauren's thinking a while before she replied with another question, "can we just order one scoop ice cream and sharing it?"

"Sure. What ice cream do you like?"

"Black sesame ice cream sounds interesting."

"It does. Go with black sesame?"

"Yes."

Camila told the waitress their order. After the waitress gone, she continued her story.

She rested her head on her palm while looking at Lauren sweetly. "Back to my story, did you get what I mean?"

Lauren was so captivated by Camila's sweetness, she didn't answer right away.

"Lauren!" Camila had to call her twice.

"Yes!"

Camila's laughing. "What's happening to you?"

Lauren was so embarrassed. "Nothing." She put her palm on her face.

Camila's tugging Lauren's hand gently. "Don't ever cover your face."

"Why?"

"Because it's beautiful?"

"Hey, you stole my line."

They both were smiling looking at each other while still holding hand.

"Yes, I know what you mean." Lauren said. "So all the producers that were in the party wanted something in return in order for you to get signed? And what I meant with something in return is like, your body?"

"You got that right."

Lauren cringed. "That's sick."

"Yeah. I know this business is hard, but I still have my dignity. Maybe that's why my singing career is still in this path and can't move on." Camila rolled her eyes.

Lauren leaned her body forward. "Hey, listen. It means that you have pride and there's nothing wrong with that. Some might says that pride couldn't give you food to eat or place to stay, but you've proved them wrong."

She stopped and looked like reading Camila's reaction. She slowly continued, "you said that your singing career looks like going nowhere? It's wrong. Every other days different people saw your singing. I bet all my money that one day one of them would take you as a professional singer."

Lauren leaned her body back and asked Camila, "you don't think there aren't famous good singers that's not struggled before they finally made it, do you?"

"No."

"So, yeah."

Camila just took everything that Lauren said into her mind and her heart. Actually she knew everything about it, but listened it from someone else, it had different effect. Especially it's Lauren. Camila believed it came from a genuine heart.

Lauren felt a little bit uncomfortable because Camila didn't say anything. She's afraid she's going too far. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." She looked down and tried to retract her hand.

Camila held it even tighter. "No. You're right. And thank you."

Lauren smiled.

"Let's eat the ice cream before it melts." Camila reluctantly let go Lauren's hand.

"Yes. Ice cream!" Lauren threw her fist into the air.

Camila looked at her disbelieved. "Dork!"

They were both laughing. They enjoyed the rest of the night. And of course, Camila insisted to pay and Lauren finally let her after insisted she'd pay for next time.

They got out from the restaurant and walked into the parking lot.

"So tonight's date was successful to have the second date, huh?" Camila asked playfully.

Lauren reached out Camila's hand and pulled her closer. "Oh, tonight hasn't ended yet." She whispered.

They were both standing so close and Lauren closed the gap. They kissed. But it's not last long because they heard another couple walked behind them. They giggled.

"Come on." Camila said.

They got in the car and started moving.

Today was very important for their relationship. It's true that they've just met the day before, but they felt like they knew each other for a long time.

After spending the whole day, knowing their stories, they believed that they have found their other half. The feeling was too strong to be ignored.

"The night is still young, do you wanna go somewhere?" Asked Camila.

Lauren seemed to think.

"But if you wanna go home, that's alright." Camila said it quickly.

"Oh no. I was just thinking where we should go."

Camila chuckled.

"What?" They were looking at each other, smiling.

"Nothing." Camila replied and started the car again after stopped at the red light.

"Do you like to dance?" Lauren asked.

"I hope that's a rhetorical question, Lauren. Who doesn't like to dance?"

Lauren laughed. "Well, some people. But I thought that you're not just some people, so yes that's the question that I didn't need an answer. What I have should asked was, do you want to dance?"

"Hell yeah. And dance with you, that's something I'm looking forward to." Camila winked. "And I know a good place."

Lauren's looking at Camila, amused. They drove along Sunset boulevard while singing softly to whatever they listened in the radio.

They finally stopped at The Viper Room.

"Hey, I know this place. Sometimes I come here, too. And it's close to my office!" Lauren suddenly shout out.

"Really?"

"Yeah, maybe about 3 to 5 minutes drive. It's in Regus. Do you know it?"

"Hmm. I'm not sure."

"It's the big blue building across Edko Nails..."

"And there's a yoghurt boutique next to it..."

"Yeah! Iceyo's!"

They were both laughing while getting off the car.

"I think I went there couple of times with my friends. There's a burger lounge next to the optical store, right? Dinah used to work there."

"Yes, the original grass fed burger."

"So that where your office is." Camila stated.

"Yeah." Lauren answered while reaching out Camila's hand and laced it out with her fingers.

The warmth of Lauren's hand spread to Camila's body and she blushed so hard. Lauren's just smiling happily.

They reached the club door and got in.

"I know one of the bartenders. I hope she's in tonight." Shout Camila through the noisy crowd. "Ah, she's here."

"Sandra!"

"Camila! How are you?" She gave Camila a high five.

"I'm great. How about you?"

"Busy as you can see."

They both chuckled. "What can I get you?"

"Two martinis, please."

"Coming right up." In a minute they got their drinks. "So who's your friend?" Sandra's wiggling her eyebrows while glancing to their still intertwining hands.

"Owh, this is Lauren."

"Hi!" Lauren said.

"Hii..." Sandra waved her hand. "Well, enjoy, ladies. Gotta back to work."

"Sure. See ya!"

They sat on bar stools.

"You come here a lot?" Asked Lauren.

Camila sipped her drink before replying, "yeah. Normani, my other housemate, once hooked up with one of the bartenders. It was crazy, we came here almost every night except when the nights I had to sing in the cafe. We got free drinks so many times and I can't remember when I didn't get tipsy whenever I left the club."

They're both laughing.

Camila continued her story. "But then they broke up. We still come here, though. Sandra became our friends and we even hangout outside the club."

"So which one is the bartender that hooking up with Normani?"

"He's not working here anymore. I think he left about a month ago."

"I see." Then, Lauren leaned closer and whispered in Camila's ear. "Well, I hope you won't get tipsy, so you'll remember everything about tonight."

Camila got goosebumps in a good way. She turned her face and gave Lauren a peck on her lips. "I would never forget anything about tonight."

Lauren smiled. "Let's dance."

They finished their drink and moved to the dance floor. And started to move along the music.

They were dancing for a few songs then got another drink. They played a game that they dubbed the voice of the people in the club; the couple who were fighting, the drunken girl that flirted with anyone, a couple who were dancing so close, and many more. They really had a good laugh and they're pretty sure that they both had a wild imagination.

Around 11pm, they agreed to dance for a couple songs before they left.

They're dance closer than before. Camila's mind were numb. Lauren was dancing flawlessly. Her body swayed following the music. And the v-neck dressed she wore, somehow it went really low and showed a bit more cleavage than Camila could handle. Something was happening on her body down there.

She put her arms on Lauren's waist and pulled her closer. Lauren put her arms around Camila's necks. It seemed like they were hugging. Their hips were touching and now they moved in sync.

Camila was feeling hot.

"It's hot, isn't it?" asked her.

"What?" Lauren moved even closer to listen.

Camila's cheek was gracing Lauren's. She whispered on her ear, literally, and saying slowly, "I said, it is hot here." She made sure that her lips were touching Lauren's earlobe when it moved.

Lauren mumbled, "fuck!" She then reached out Camila's hand and said, "let's go. I need an air. You're right, it's hot here." Then she led Camila out of the dance floor.

Camila giggled seeing Lauren's reaction.

They asked for mineral water because Camila had reached limit amount of alcohols that she had to consume to drive. They drank it and sighed at the same time.

"Wow, tired much, ladies?" asked Sandra while wiping the table in front of them.

They both nodded.

"I think we'd better off. Lauren has class tomorrow morning, haven't you?" Camila said.

"Yes. We... We got to go."

Sandra smirked. "Yeah, yeah. Go and have fun, guys." She wiggled her eyes.

Camila's rolling her eyes. "Bye, Sandra." She got up and pulled Lauren's hang along with her.

Lauren said her goodbye and following Camila.

They're giggling outside.

"That was awesome." Lauren said.

"Yeah. And I meant what I said that you have class tomorrow."

"Really?" Lauren raised her eyebrow.

"Really." Camila's smiling. "And I just wanna be alone with you, it's too crowded inside."

Lauren shook her head and pulling Camila closer.

They got in the car and drove it. They let the windows open, so whatever was heating back in the club, they were hoping could calm down.

Well, it couldn't. Camila 100% was sure that Lauren felt the same thing. It was crazy how fast things were going on between them. But Camila had never been so certain in her entire life, not even more than about her singing career.

"Hey." Lauren called her softly.

Camila made a quick glance to look at Lauren's face. Camila gasped quietly. She thought, "Dear Lord, she's so beautiful. The street light made her face looked like shining." She reached out and took Lauren's hand and put both of their hands on the middle console. She smiled and said, "hey."

Just in time the radio put Wonderful Tonight on. They're singing along the song.

"I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes, and the wonder of it all, is that you just don't realize how much I love you..."

They laughed.

"This is the cheesiest song ever." Lauren said.

"Tell me about it."

They continued to sing along to whatever songs that came up while still holding hands.

And finally they arrived at Lauren's house.

"Soo... " Camila started to speak.

"Um, the night's still young. It's still..." Lauren looked down to her watch. It's 11.45pm. "Oh, it's almost 12. But do you wanna come in?" She looked at Camila full of hope.

Camila really wanted to go in, but wasn't sure that Lauren really wanted her to. "Are you sure? You have class..."

Lauren cut her off. "Yeah I have class tomorrow, but it's still 8 hours from now. Let's go in." She got out the car and ran to Camila's side and opened the door. "My lady."

Camila got out and saying, "and they said the chivalry is dead."

"Nah, it's only me." Lauren said proudly.

Camila giggled. She accepted Lauren's hand then walked together to the door. At the door, Lauren reluctantly let go and took the key. She opened it and asked Camila to come in.

"Have a seat, please."

Camila sat in the couch. "Thanks."

"Do you wanna drink or something?" Asked Lauren who's still standing after putting her purse on the dining table.

"Something." Camila replied. "Come here."

Lauren raised her eyebrow but moved closer. She sat next to Camila on the couch.

Camila didn't take no time. She leaned in and kissed Lauren on the lips that Lauren happily gave back. Camila felt her lips press against Lauren's and begin to take her lower lip. Their kiss turned wild and Camila could feel her lips beginning to swell and a soft moan came out from Lauren's mouth. Her lips left Lauren's and she kissed her jaw and down her neck.

The air grew hot and heavy as their hands groped at each other's bodies. Camila pushed Lauren back to the couch and it made her on top of Lauren's body. Camila still kissing along Lauren's jaw and kept pressing kisses at Lauren's skin. Lauren's hand that was on Camila's back pushed Camila even closer.

"Camz..." Lauren moaned Camila's name softly.

Hearing Lauren called her name that way made Camila went crazy but it was also sent her an alarm. She stopped kissing and moved back sitting. Her breath became frantic from all the kisses.

Lauren who was still laying knew exactly something was wrong. She got up and moved closer. She touched Camila's arm gently.

"Hey, what happened?" Lauren asked.

Camila turned her head and looked at Lauren's eyes. The green eyes which were darker filled with lust before but now she saw only love. Wait, love?

"I... I'm sorry." Camila looked down to her own lap.

"Hey..." Lauren sticked out her arm and hugged Camila by her shoulder. "It's ok." She stroked Camila's arm slowly and rested her chin in Camila's shoulder.

"I need to tell you something." Camila said quietly.

Lauren lifted her chin and said, "you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"

"God, no!" Camila shook her head.

Lauren put her chin back and whispered. "Then, what is it?"

"It's just... I used to be a player. I was constantly hooking up with any girls that I just met. And... I really don't wanna do that to you. We just met yesterday and if we go further than this, it means that I treated you the same as others. And you are not. You're more than that."

"Ah, I see."

"I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?"

Camila shrugged.

"Don't worry. I appreciate what you've just told me. And you're right. Let's wait. It would make everything special, wouldn't it?"

"Yeah."

"But I hope we don't have to stop for doing this." Lauren started kissing Camila's jaw line and finally meeting her lips. Camila turned her body and fully kissed Lauren back. She ended up straddling Lauren's thigh and pushed Lauren back onto the couch. And resumed what she had just stopped earlier, kissing Lauren's neck.

Lauren chuckled. "As much as I enjoy this. It wouldn't end up good, Camz. Well, it would be good I'm sure. But we're agreed to wait."

Camila's face was buried in the crook of Lauren's neck and Lauren could only hear a hum from her. "What was it?" Lauren had to ask.

Camila lifted her head a little. "You're right. I'm sorry."

"Stop saying sorry. And I really don't mind you're doing whatever you do with your tongue." Lauren suddenly stopped and sighed. She could imagine what would that tongue could do to any other part of her body.

She shook her head and continued, "but we can cuddle, right?"

"Yeah." Camila replied.

"Let's go. You can change with my clothes and we can cuddle and actually sleep because as you said I have class tomorrow." Lauren rolled her eyes.

Camila's giggling. "Fine."

They got up and went to Lauren's room.

"Your room is so the opposite of mine. Everything's so tidy, mine is a mess." Camila said. She was standing in the middle of the room while Lauren went to her wardrobe to pick clothes for Camila.

"I'm sure it's not that bad. And if it were really bad, I can always tidy it up for you." Lauren handed her the clothes and leaned in for a quick peck.

"You're my girl not my maid."

Seemed like Camila didn't realise the word that she just said. Lauren's looking at her beaming.

"What?" asked Camila.

"Nothing." Lauren smiled wider. "You can change here or you can go to the bathroom. But if you change here, I wouldn't guarantee what would happen next." Lauren's wiggling her eyebrows.

Camila's standing nervously. "To the bathroom." Then she left leaving Lauren who's laughing wholeheartedly.

"Oh, there's also a new toothbrush inside the cabinet, you can use it." Lauren shouted.

"Okay, thanks!"

At the bathroom, Camila washed her face with cold water. "Oh, what a night." She thought.

Finally they both had changed their clothes and ready to bed.

"You can sleep in any side, I don't have particular side." Lauren said.

"Ok." Camila laid down on her back.

"Why are you so far away? You've promised we're gonna cuddle." Lauren whispered. "Come here."

Camila scooted a little to the middle. Lauren met her halfway. She wrapped her arms around Camila as she cuddled in. Camila's placed her arm safely on Lauren's stomach and tangled their legs together.

Camila never felt really content like this before. She loved the feeling of being wrapped in Lauren's arms. It felt hundreds times better than with other girls. Well, in her defense, it's always been sex with other girls, never had she's cuddling with them.

She tilted her head a little and pressed a soft kiss to Lauren's lips and whispered, "good night, Laur."

Lauren smiled and kissed Camila's forehead. "Night, Camz."

In a minute they finally dozed off with smiles patterning on their lips.
