Lauren's POV

"I know this is sudden but Camila and Sofie's going stay with us." I said making it a statement instead of a question.

My parents looked at me and turned their heads to look at Camila who was holding onto Sofie.

"Where are their parents?" My dad asked, a little annoyed at the fact that I brought two girls home without their knowledge.

"Jail. They abused Camila and we figured that if Camila left, they would direct their abusive intentions on Sofie so we brought her along." I replied looking over at Camila and smiling at her.

"I guess they can share the guest room then." My mom said, looking through the kitchen drawer for the key to the room.

"They can stay here for as long as she needs." My dad added, "Here's some money to buy new clothes for them."

"Thanks dad. Thanks mom."

I took the key and the money before leading Camila with Sofie in her arms to their bedroom. "You guys can share this room. There's a toilet and a walk in closet."

"Wow." Camila breathed out.

"My dad gave me money to buy new clothes for you and Sofie. I guess we can do it during our date?"

"Thank you. I definitely need new clothes." She muttered looking at her own.

That Night

"Let's watch Carrie!" I shouted pumping my fist in the air.

"I'm scared." Camila said shivering a little.

I guess she's scared of horror movies.

"How about Twilight?" I asked scanning the movie selection.

"No. Vampires are scary." She buried her head into my shoulder and pouted.

How much cuter can she get?

"Uh we're left with Sex and The City." I said a little awkward with the title.

"Sure!" She replied watching the trailer playing on the tv.

We joined the queue and finally it's out turn to buy our tickets. "Two tickets for Sex and The City."

"Sure sexy." The guy over the counter winked.

"If you're trying to hit on me, you're failing miserably." I sneered with a face of disgust and I heard Camila giggle.

I paid and grabbed our tickets before dragging Camila away, "Thanks."

I looked at the ticket and realized we have the two seater at the last row on the left. I silently rejoiced because that means we'll have more privacy.

"Sweet or salted?"

"I'll take anything you order Laur."

"I'll take a large popcorn mixed and two sprites." I paid and we entered the cinema with our food.

Camila's POV

We sat down at our seats and Lauren handed me my drink.

"Thanks." I gave her a smile and she smiled back, making my heart melt.

Halfway into the movie, I reached into the popcorn tub and accidentally touched Lauren's hand. I felt electric currents travel through my body at the contact and retracted my hand, blushing hard. Thank god it's dark.

I have the sudden urge to get closer to her, to have her skin against mine. I placed my arm on the rest bar, soon another arm (definitely not mine) rested on mine. I realized that it's Lauren's so I looked up at her; she had her eyes fixed on me.

After the movie

"How was it?" Lauren asked throwing the empty popcorn tub away.

"Great. What do you think?"

"It's awesome."

"Well, Jauregui, you spent almost the whole movie staring at me." I laughed teasing her.

"You're beautiful."

"Nah. I'm not." My whole life, I've been called a ugly freak or a piece of crap.

"You are." Lauren said in a serious tone.

"Thank you. You don't know how much that meant to me." I kissed her on her cheek and she flushed.

"Let's go for dinner and we'll head to Forever 21."

Lauren's POV

Camila kissed me on the cheek. It still tingles and I want her to do it once more.

"Take this. And that!" I shoved clothes and jeans into Camila's arms, making sure that she try them all.

Camila changed into a pair of skinny jeans and waist fitting shirt. "You're hot." I thought out loud.

"Now don't use your sexual fantasies on." Camila said furrowing her eyebrows.

"Sorry." I apologized looking away, she looks really mad.

"I'm just kidding." She turned and walked back into the fitting room.

We bought the clothes that Camila
chose and some clothes for Sofie.

"Bows!" Camila shrieked causing me to jump.

"Can I get one please?" She pleaded looking at me with her brown puppy eyes.

"Okay." I gave her the money and she ran off to the counter, bow in one hand and money in the other.

That Night

I furrowed myself comfortably into my bed and blanket before closing my eyes. When I was about to drift off to sleep, I felt someone tug at my blanket.

I opened my eyes and saw a figure standing in front of me. I quickly on my bed lamp and saw that It was just Camila.

"I'm scared. Of thunder and lightning." She sniffed, eyes red and puffy from crying.

She's been crying.

"Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" I opened my blanket and she immediately jumped in, covering herself in it, just in time for another clap of thunder.

I turned off the lights and felt Camila shivering, "Will you cuddle me LoLo?"

Wait. What did she just call me?

I wrapped my arms around her waist and she snuggled into me whimpering. I ran my fingers through her hair, hoping that it would calm her down.

"Shhh... I'm here."
